ABSTRACT
Twelve patients with gastroesophageal reflux following repair of esophageal atresia are presented. Reflux produced recurrent stricture, failure to thrive, repeated pneumonitis, and in one patient, respiratory arrest and nearly death. Treatment consists of positional therapy or fundoplication operation both of which seem less successful in this combination of lesions than with GER and a normal esophagus. There was one death as a late postoperative complication of fundoplication.
