ABSTRACT
The repair of esophageal atresia, preserving the patient's own esophagus is the surgical procedure of choice. In "long-gap" type or in "tension anastomosis" cases, anastomotic complications were known to be higher than in usual cases. From this report, postoperative elective ventilation for 5 days together with neck flexion position reduced such complications with minimal subsequent complications related to the mechanical ventilation.
