Abstract |
Esophageal stenosis due to the presence of abnormal tracheal cartilage in the wall of the esophagus is an uncommon disease, which presents with vomiting or a failure to thrive. Surgical excision of the cartilaginous segment is the preferred treatment. This is a report of a new technique for the treatment of esophageal stenosis in children. We performed a laparoscopic lower esophageal stricturoplasty with anterior fundoplication for esophageal stenosis caused by a tracheobronchial remnant in the wall of the lower esophagus.
