Retrosternal revision of jejunum interposed in the anterior sternal space for the treatment of esophageal atresia.

Abstract
Esophageal replacement continues to be a challenging operation associated with significant morbidity. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with esophageal atresia treated by jejunal interposition in the anterior sternal space who had revision of the interposed jejunum into the retrosternal space for cosmetic reasons.
