Abstract
Surgical resection for the treatment of congenital distal esophageal s tenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants is sometimes complicated by e sophageal shortening and gastroesophageal reflux. We propose the combi ned operation of Collis gastroplasty and Nissen fundoplication to prev ent these complications. It can be safely performed through an abdomin al approach.
