Davenport, A. Bianchi] During the period 1984-1989, 25 infants with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula underwent primary oesophageal anastomosis incorporating a full-thickness pedicle oesophageal flap from the dilated upper oesophageal pouch. Use of the flap creates a wide, oblique anastomosis in all instances. Where a large "gap” is present after full mobilisation, the flap can be tubed as a neo-oesophagus to bridge the defect without tension. The early complication rate was high (leakage 28%, recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula 8%), reflecting the development of a novel technique. Despite complications, however, 92% of infants retained their oesophagus and have no long-term swallowing problems.
