[Esophageal plasty in children. Retrospective study of 22 colonic transplants. Current orientation].
Esophageal replacement using transverse colon with left colic pedicle is reviewed. 18 were done for caustic stenosis with one death, 4 for atresia without mortality. For caustic stenosis the authors advocate early transplant since the third month if dilatations failed. Improvement of technique using staplers prevented any complication in the last 8 patients. These good results allowed the authors to switch to isoperistaltic gastric tube. In esophageal atresias, the authors did not find any indication of replacement in the 12 last years.
