Abstract
Pure esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula is a uncommon form of congenital malformation of the esophagus, which is able to be suspected by fetal ultrasonograpy before delivery and diagnosed definitely by simple chest X-ray and esophagogram immidiately after delivery. We performed delayed primary repair in 2 cases of pure esophageal atresia by using stomach for conduit in one case and colon in the other case. But there were graft failure in the latter case, so reoperation was performed by using stomach. Postoperatively, two patients showed no stenosis and leakage in anastomotic site and were discharged in good oral intake without dysphagia.
