[Functional study in children with repaired esophageal atresia]
Abstract
Esophageal atresia Type III was repaired in 8 children 5-11 y/o. All had stenosis in the esophagus diagnosed by radiology and endoscopy after surgical correction. Dilation was performed until normal lumen was obtained. Motor disfunction in upper and middle part of the esophagus was evidenced in six by manometry. Our findings are suggestive that Esophageal manometry is indicated in the evaluation of repaired esophageal atresia.
