QUAD #10 Pt.3: Advantages of Thoracoscopic Repair of Esophageal Atresia with Dr. Steve Rothenberg
Manage episode 429700004 series 1142674
In this video we’ll talk about benefits of thoracoscopic tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair in reducing tracheomalacia and improving patient outcomes with Dr. Steve Rothenberg from Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. Here are some highlights:
Reduced Tracheomalacia: Minimizing tracheal manipulation compared to open surgery.
• Case Study:35-week premature baby with a large esophageal pouch corrected thoracoscopically.
• Enhanced Visualization: Precise dissection and improved outcomes using thoracoscopy.
• Pouch Resection: Efficient resection of leftover pouches with a stapler.
• Upper Pouch Mobilization: Key to successful anastomosis, even in long-gap cases.
• H Type Fistulas: Superior approach with less trauma and better visualization.
