Abstract

<p>We herein report the long-term prognosis of four patients more than 10 years after gastric transposition (GT) for long-gap esophageal atresia (EA) from the perspective of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiovascular findings as well as nutrition and growth. The types of EA were type C in two patients, type A in one patient, and type B in one patient. All of them underwent GT within five months of age. Of the four patients, three still have problems with swallowing, and two still have issues with food intake. All the patients had chronic gastritis, but none of them had esophagogastric reflux. Respiratory physiology showed a decreased vital capacity in two patients, but no abnormalities in cardiac function were observed. In terms of nutrition and growth, the height and weight were below standard in all the patients, but their quality of life was good. After GT, problems with the digestive system, respiratory system, and growth remained, but the patients were able to adapt to their conditions and lead good lives. However, new problems may emerge in the future, so careful follow-up is necessary.</p>
