Congenital esophageal stenosis related to tracheobronchial remnant: balloon dilatation versus resection and anastomosis - a systematic review
Topic overview
This systematic review compares two treatment approaches for congenital esophageal stenosis caused by tracheobronchial remnants in pediatric patients: minimally invasive balloon dilatation versus surgical resection with anastomosis. The analysis addresses ongoing clinical debate about optimal management of this rare congenital malformation.
Key takeaways
- CES related to TBR is an extremely rare congenital malformation typically presenting in infants and young children.
- Two accepted treatment options exist: endoscopic balloon dilatation and surgical resection with anastomosis.
- No clear consensus exists on which treatment approach is superior for TBR-related esophageal stenosis.
- Systematic review addresses the ongoing controversy between conservative endoscopic and definitive surgical management.
