In esophageal lung, an anomalous main bronchus arises from the esophagus rather than the trachea.</p></div><div><h3>Case presentation</h3><p>A male neonate was admitted with respiratory distress immediately following birth. Radiographic evaluation included chest radiograph, chest Ultrasound, chest CT and an upper gastrointestinal (GI) contrast study. A completely opaque right hemithorax was initially visualized and identified as esophageal lung with associated anomalous partial systemic arterial supply and venous drainage. A right posterolateral thoracotomy with pneumonectomy of the hypoplastic lung was performed. However, the patient died of respiratory failure on the first postoperative day.</p></div><div><h3>Clinical discussion</h3><p>Esophageal lung is an extremely rare form of CBPFM in which a main stem bronchus, usually the right one, is abnormally connected to the esophagus. The diagnosis is suggested by chest x-ray and confirmed by upper GI contrast study, which is also available in resource-poor settings. A CT scan with 3D volume rendered images can make a diagnosis, although difficulties remain. Pneumonectomy is the preferred treatment for most patients.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Esophageal lung is a rare congenital abnormality with few reported cases. Radiologists and pediatricians should have a high index of suspicion for this anomaly in cases of neonatal respiratory distress and a persistently opacified lung with focal air bronchogram(s) and pursue a timely confirmatory contrast study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":43872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Open","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 100694"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49906190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These utilise scarce healthcare resources and increase hospital costs, as well as negatively impacting on patient's quality of life.

Both “haemostatic effect” and “time to haemostasis” achieved median scores of 4/5 (IQR 4–5), which equated to “very good” on the questionnaire. When surgeons were asked to compare their experience with TenaTac against their usual haemostat, 91.7 % (55/60) rated it as good, very good or excellent. When surgeons were asked if they would recommend the use of TenaTac, 96.5 % (55/57) of the surgeons responded positively to this question.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Real world evaluation of the novel adhesive patch, TenaTac, has confirmed that it exhibits very good adhesive and haemostatic qualities and could be considered for use by a wide variety of surgical specialities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":43872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Open","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 100690"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49906171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
