  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ESOPHAGEAL LENGTHENING AND ANASTOMOSIS FORMATION
    Publication number: 20170311952
    Abstract: Devices and methods can be used to treat long gap esophageal atresia, while obviating much of the delay and complexities associated with current procedures. The devices and methods involve actively stretching the esophagus portions with traction to promote growth of the esophagus portions. Moreover, the devices and methods provided allow for a compression anastomosis to occur between the esophageal ends. This eliminates the need for a second operation to suture the esophageal ends together.
