The medical records and follow-up data of 31 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery for rTEF at a single institution were collected and reviewed. In total, 31 patients were enrolled with a median age of 7\u00a0months (range: 3\u201330\u00a0months) and a median weight of 6,000\u00a0g (range: 4,000\u201312,000\u00a0g) before reoperation. The median operation time for the entire series was 2.9\u00a0hours (range: 1.5\u20137.5\u00a0hours), and the median total hospitalization duration after surgery was 19\u00a0days (range: 11\u2013104\u00a0days). One patient died of anastomotic leakage, a second rTEF, severe malnutrition, and thoracic infection; the mortality rate was 3.23% (1\/31). Nine patients (9\/31, 29.03%) had an uneventful recovery, and the incidences of postoperative anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stricture, and second rTEF were 25.81%, 61.29%, and 9.68%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 12\u00a0months (range: 3\u201324\u00a0months), 26 survivors resumed full oral feeding, 2 were tube fed, 2 required a combination of methods, and 4 patients experienced severe respiratory complications. In total, 9 patients had pathological gastroesophageal reflux, and 2 patients eventually underwent Nissen fundoplication. Of the 30 survivors with growth chart data, the median weight for age Z-score, height for age Z-score, and weight for height Z-score were\u00a0\u2212\u00a00.46 (range: \u22125.1 to 2.8), 0.75 (range: \u22122.7 to 4.7), and\u00a0\u2212\u00a01.14 (range: \u22126.8 to 3.0), respectively. Thoracoscopic surgical repair for rTEF is safe, feasible, and effective with acceptable mortality and morbidity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doaa023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,23]],"date-time":"2020-04-23T06:45:48Z","timestamp":1587624348000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Thoracoscopic
