Revisiting Fundoplication in Esophageal Atresia: Implications for Nutrition, Stricture Management, and Wrap Type

In brief

This article examines fundoplication outcomes in EA-TEF patients, comparing different surgical wrap techniques and their impact on reflux control, nutritional status, and stricture formation. Limited evidence exists on optimal fundoplication type selection and long-term benefits in this complex patient population.

• EA-TEF patients frequently require fundoplication for GERD management, but outcome data remains limited
• Evidence is insufficient on whether fundoplication improves GERD-related outcomes in EA-TEF population
• Comparative effectiveness of different fundoplication types (Nissen vs partial wraps) in EA-TEF is unclear
