Lateral reinforcement of anastomoses enhances mechanical strength in fragile neonatal oesophageal tissue

Abstract Anastomotic leakage is a major complication in neonatal oesophageal surgery, particularly in fragile tissues such as long-gap oesophageal atresia. In this study, we evaluate a simple suture modification, known as lateral reinforcement, to improve anastomotic stability and reduce leakage. Me...
