Summary

This trial is comparing two surgical practices for repairing Type C esophageal atresia. The primary outcome is the development of an anastomotic stricture requiring dilation within 12 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants needing surgery for Type C esophageal atresia, which is a birth defect affecting the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. Infants must be under six months old and able to have follow-ups for at least one year.
What is being tested?
The study compares two surgical methods for repairing esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula in infants: one using a transanastomotic tube during surgery, and one without it. The main focus is on whether an uncomfortable narrowing of the connection (stricture) develops within a year.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include typical risks associated with pediatric surgery such as infection, reaction to anesthesia, or complications related to the presence or absence of the transanastomotic tube.
