[Analysis of esophageal strictures secondary to surgical correction of esophageal atresia].

Abstract

Es requiring dilatations after oesophageal atresia repair are a frequent problem, appearing generally in an early period. Balloon dilatation under radioscopic control is an efficient and safe procedure for its treatment. Usually more than 1 dilatation is needed being the time period between two dilatations small. We think that associated medical antirreflux treatment is necessary in all cases, but only in specific cases surgical management of the gastroesophageal reflux.
