Abstract
A new surgical method is presented for overbridging wide gap esophageal atresia. The method is based on the fact that the atretic upper pouch has an excellent longitudinal blood supply, and is two to three times wider than the lower pouch. Muco-muscular flap is created, which is anastomosed to the lower esophagus.Entities:
