jpedsurg.org

We read with great interest the article entitled “Outcome of esophageal atresia: What choice of suture material?” by Martz et al. [1]. The authors present an important study comparing postoperative complications of esophageal atresia repair according to the type of suture material used. This subject is particularly relevant, as the choice of suture remains a key technical consideration in pediatric surgery, with potential implications for anastomotic healing and long-term outcomes.
