An approximation technique for primary anastomosis(Gazi method)in selected cases of long gap esophageal atresia

We read with great interest the article by Reismann et al about"Partial gastric pull-up(PGP)in the treatment of patients with longgap esophageal atresia(LGEA)."This article states that"The incidence of stenosis and gastro-esophageal refl ux(GER)after PGP is considerably high,even compared with alternative surgical techniques for the treatment of LGEA and with their high complication rates.PGP cannot yet be generally recommended for the treatment of LGEA."
