Surgical Esophageal Diseases in Children | Dr. Rasik Shah

Surgical Esophageal Diseases in children encompass a range of conditions affecting the esophagus, including Tracheoesophageal Fistula, Congenital Esophageal Stenosis, Achalasia Cardia, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). These diseases may either be present from birth (congenital) or develop later in life (acquired). Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to managing these conditions effectively. In this video, Dr. Rasik Shah, Senior Consultant Pediatric General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at NH SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai, delves into the types, symptoms, and treatment options for Surgical Esophageal Diseases in children. Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF): A Tracheoesophageal Fistula is a congenital condition where there is an abnormal connection between the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus. This condition can cause severe respiratory and feeding problems in newborns. Dr. Rasik Shah explains the different types of TEF and the importance of early surgical intervention to correct the defect and prevent complications. Common Types of Tracheoesophageal Fistula: Type A: Esophagus ends blindly and does not connect to the trachea. Type B: Esophagus is connected to the trachea. Type C: A more common form, where the trachea is connected to the esophagus but has a gap. Type D: Both esophagus and trachea are connected to each other at multiple points. Congenital Esophageal Stenosis: Congenital Esophageal Stenosis refers to a narrowing of the esophagus, usually due to abnormal tissue formation during fetal development. This condition can cause difficulty in swallowing, food regurgitation, and weight loss in affected infants and children. Treatment for Congenital Esophageal Stenosis: The primary treatment is surgical intervention, often involving the removal of the obstructed portion of the esophagus or dilation procedures to widen the narrowed area. Achalasia Cardia: Achalasia Cardia is a rare disorder where the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax properly, leading to difficulty in swallowing, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. It is a condition where the esophagus becomes dilated and loses its ability to push food into the stomach. Treatment for Achalasia Cardia: Treatment options for Achalasia Cardia include: Pneumatic Dilation: A procedure where a balloon is inserted into the esophagus to expand the lower esophageal sphincter. Surgical Myotomy: A surgical procedure that cuts the muscles of the LES to allow normal swallowing. Laparoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery to treat Achalasia and improve esophageal function. Symptoms of GERD in Children: Frequent heartburn or acid reflux Coughing or wheezing Difficulty swallowing and feeding problems in infants Regurgitation or vomiting after meals Treatment for GERD: GERD in children may be managed with: Lifestyle changes such as smaller, more frequent meals. Medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers to reduce stomach acid. Surgical intervention (such as Nissen fundoplication) in severe cases where medications are ineffective.
