Long-Term Management Challenges in Esophageal Atresia
Tóm tắt
Esophageal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly, but improved surgical and critical care has resulted in survival rates exceeding 90%. Long-term survival is associated with numerous management challenges including chronic motility disorders, dysphagia, strictures, reflux, esophagitis and attendant complications, tracheomalacia and chronic restrictive lung disease, and recurrent pulmonary infections. No guidelines for adolescents and younger or older adults exist for the treatment and monitoring of this specialized patient population. As such, patients with esophageal atresia can experience life-long sequelae of their disease and are best served by intentional transition to adult care for surveillance and monitoring, specifically for chronic lung disease, reflux, and its complications. This is best accomplished in a multidisciplinary fashion at experienced esophageal and lung centers.
