Congenital Gastrointestinal Anomalies

Background/Purpose: Controversy persists regarding the ideal surgical approach for repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). We examined complications and outcomes of infants undergoing thoracoscopy and thoracoto

Background/Purpose: Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is a rare congenital anomaly lacking contemporary data detailing patient demographics, medical/surgical management and outcomes. Substantial variation in the care of

Introduction: Anastomotic stricture is the most common complication after esophageal atresia (EA) repair. We sought to determine if postoperative acid suppression is associated with reduced stricture formation.Methods: A prospective, multi-

Purpose: Right sided aortic arch (RAA) is a rare anatomic finding in infants with esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). In the presence of RAA, significant controversy exists regarding optimal side for thora

Introduction: We evaluate the incidence, outcomes, and management of peri‑umbilical hernias after sutured or sutureless gastroschisis closure.Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal follow-up of neonates with gastroschisis who underwent clos

Purpose: To report outcomes of sutured and sutureless closure for gastroschisis across a large multi-institutional cohort. Methods: A retrospective study of infants with uncomplicated gastroschisis at 11 children's from 2014 to 2016 was per

Introduction: Gastroschisis feeding practices vary. Standardized neonatal feeding protocols have been demonstrated to improve nutritional outcomes. We report outcomes of infants with gastroschisis that were fed with and without a protocol.

Objective: To provide generalizable estimates for expected outcomes of simple gastroschisis (SG) and complex gastroschisis (CG) patients from a large multi-institutional cohort for use during counseling. Study Design: A retrospective study

Infants born with congenital gastroschisis are at risk for intrauterine growth restriction, small for gestational size at birth, and growth failure during the newborn period despite advanced care. Body composition provides a more complete p
