title: [The terms of esophagoplasty in children with esophageal atresia].
abstract: From 1995 to 2000 twenty-seven coloesophagoplasties were performed in children with esophageal atresia aged from 3 months to 2 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on their age. Group 1 consisted of 13 children aged from 3 to 6 months (mean 5.5 months), group 2-14 children aged from 6 to 24 months (mean 13 months). Course of postoperative period and postoperative complications were the criteria of treatment results. All the parameters were similar in both groups. Postoperative diarrhea was seen more often in group 1. It is concluded that esophagoplasty in children with atresia must be performed as early as possible.
