Type of pledget and suture technique relative to esophageal tensile strength in long-gap esophageal atresia

In brief

This study evaluates different pledget materials and suture techniques used in the Foker process for long-gap esophageal atresia repair, comparing their effects on esophageal tissue tensile strength. The research aims to optimize surgical approach by identifying which combination provides optimal tissue integrity during the staged lengthening procedure required for primary anastomosis.
