Abstract | OBJECTIVE: SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: METHODS: All children with the risk factors had repeated esophagoscopy and multiple mucosal biopsies before and after therapy. RESULTS: Eleven children have been documented with BE. The initial diagnoses were: GER, 5; esophageal atresia, 4; nasogastric intubation, 1; lye ingestion, 1. A gastric tube esophagoplasty had been performed in three patients with BE in the esophagus proximal to the anastomosis. Three children with mid-esophageal strictures and long segments of BE had total resection with colic interposition. An additional two patients with tight stricture were treated with colic-patch esophagoplasty without resection. The final three patients were treated with fundoplication alone. CONCLUSIONS:
