Wide gap esophageal atresia: a new method to elongate the upper pouch.

abstract：PURPOSE:The serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) tapers and lengthens the gut to improve adaptation. Mortality has decreased with multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation programs (IRP) allowing more time to reach adaptive potential. We reviewed our STEP experience to compare surgical outcomes between early and lat...
