Commentary on: The definition of an oesophageal stricture
Topic overview
This commentary examines the clinical definition and significance of esophageal strictures following oesophageal atresia repair, a common postoperative complication reported in approximately 70% of publications. The piece discusses quality indicators for OA outcomes, focusing on dilatation frequency and re-operations rather than stricture presence alone.
Key takeaways
- Anastomotic leak and stricture are the most common complications after oesophageal atresia repair, each reported in ~70% of publications.
- Stricture itself was not selected as a quality indicator for OA outcomes in a multi-stakeholder Delphi process.
- Number of dilatations and re-operations on the oesophagus were chosen as quality indicators instead of stricture presence alone.
