The role of fiberoptic endoscopy in the evaluation and management of long gap isolated esophageal atresia.
Accurate measurement of gap length is useful for operative planning in cases of esophageal atresia (EA) without distal fistula. This paper demonstrates how fiberoptic endoscopy of the distal esophagus enables measurement of the gap in the case of isolated EA, and compares other commonly practiced techniques.
