Key Finding
Key Finding: Acid suppression trended towards increasing strictures.

Conclusion
Conclusion: Acid suppression does not prevent strictures after EA repair.

Topic Overview

Systematic review of 12 observational studies finds prophylactic acid suppression does not prevent anastomotic strictures after esophageal atresia repair, with a trend toward increased stricture rates. Evidence does not support routine postoperative acid suppression for stricture prevention in EA patients.

Key Takeaways

  • Prophylactic acid suppression does not prevent anastomotic strictures after esophageal atresia repair
  • Systematic review of 12 observational studies showed trend toward increased strictures with acid suppression, though not statistically significant
  • Current practice of routine PPI use post-EA repair lacks evidence-based support for stricture prevention
