Determining the Risk Factors for Anastomotic Stricture Development after Esophageal Atresia Repair: Results from the Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry
Topic overview
This Turkish registry study of 713 esophageal atresia cases identifies key risk factors for anastomotic stricture development, occurring in 20% of patients. Term birth, higher birth weight, and gastroesophageal reflux significantly increased stricture risk after EA repair.
Key takeaways
- Anastomotic stricture occurs in 20% of esophageal atresia repairs, making it the second most common postoperative complication.
- Term infants and those with birth weight >2,500g have higher stricture risk (OR 1.7), contrary to expected prematurity associations.
- Gastroesophageal reflux is the strongest predictor of anastomotic stricture development (OR 5.3) after EA repair.
- Large national registry data (713 patients) provides robust evidence for identifying modifiable and non-modifiable stricture risk factors.
- Early GER identification and management may be critical for preventing anastomotic stricture in EA patients postoperatively.
