[Location of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve during high frequency ventilation in surgery for esophageal atresia].

The authors are describing a surgical technique to recognize the left recurrent laryngeal nerve during the oesophage atresia surgery. This technique uses for anatomical marks the superior line of the great azygos vein an the oeso-tracheal lateral junction. The dissection is very delicate, and the hight frequency ventilation during anesthesia gives a precious comfort to the surgeon.
