What is Pediatric Esophageal Surgery?
Pediatric esophageal surgery is performed to treat structural or functional problems in a child’s esophagus—the tube connecting the throat to the stomach. These conditions may be present at birth or develop later due to disease or injury. At Curis Life, we provide both open surgery and minimally invasive pediatric surgery (laparoscopic or thoracoscopic) to ensure safe outcomes and better quality of life.Conditions
Our pediatric surgeon in Andheri West manages a wide range of esophageal disorders, including:- Esophageal atresia: A birth defect where the esophagus does not connect to the stomach.
- Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF): An abnormal connection between the esophagus and windpipe.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Severe reflux not responding to medicines.
- Esophageal strictures: Narrowing of the esophagus causing swallowing problems.
- Esophageal duplication cysts or tumors.
- Achalasia: Rare motility disorder of the esophagus.

- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Frequent vomiting or choking while feeding
