Purpose: Tracheo esophageal fistula repair are usually complicated by the development of anastomotic leaks and strictures. The technique of anastomosis has long been a matter of debate. The most common method has been transverse circular esophageal anastomosis. We aim to bring down the frequency of early complications associated with conventional technique of esophageal repair by introduction of a modified repair method. Methods: Twenty patients of congenital tracheo esophageal fistula underwent modified oblique esophago esophageal anastomosis with pleural patch. The patients were followed up for immediate complications of anastomotic leaks and strictures. Results: Contrast esophagogram showed no incidence of anastomotic leak and strictures in all the twenty patients. Conclusion: The oblique esophageal anastomois with pleural patch serves as a wide bore anastomosis compared to the classical circular anastomosis, hence explaining the reduced incidence of decreased leaks and strictures associated with this method.Purpose: Tracheo esophageal fistula repair are usually complicated by the development of anastomotic leaks and strictures.
