SUCCESSFUL USE OF INTRATHORACIC THORACOSCOPIC TRACTION ELONGATION OF THE ESOPHAGUS FOLLOWED BY DELAYED ANASTOMOSIS AND LAPAROSCOPIC LEDD’S OPERATION IN A NEONATE WITH MULTIPLE MALFORMATIONS

Esophageal atresia is a malformation with an incidence of 1: 2500-1: 3000 newborns. Duodenal obstruction occurs in 1: 7000-10000 neonates. The combination of congenital esophageal atresia and duodenal obstruction is less frequent than 1-6% of all cases of esophageal atresia. The article is devoted to the choice of treatment tactics of a neonate with a rare combination of gastrointestinal malformations: esophageae without associated tracheoesophageae fistula atresia of type A (R. Gross classification) and duodenal obstruction caused by a violation of intestinal rotation and fixation. The variability of surgical approaches is shown and the technique of intrathoracic thoracoscopic tractional elongation of the esophagus is demonstrated, which allowed perfoming esophago-esophagoanastomosis in 10 days thoracoscopically and preserve the child’s esophagus. The uniqueness of the case is that laparoscopy was performed simultaneously with the primary esophageal surgery, aimed at eliminating the midgut volvulus which caused high intestinal obstruction. Gastrointestinal passage was fully restored 14 days after the second stage of esophageal plastic surgery. Subsequently, stenosis was recorded in the place of esophageal anastomosis, resolved by esophageal bougienage conducted by string-guide under esophagoscopy control. The chosen endoscopic treatment of the correction of combined malformations of the gastrointestinal tract allowed saving the child’s esophagus and discharging him to out-patient observation in a satisfactory condition.
