[A technical experimental model for esophageal anastomosis in rabbits]

This article has as its main objective to divulge the development and optimization of surgical-technical training procedures for pediatric surgeons required to correct esophageal atresias. Included are the esophageal anastomosis techniques used in New Zealand rabbits, proposed as an experimental model, to later be reproduced and therefore decrease morbiletality as a result of insufficient surgical in this field. The approach, diameter and consistency of the esophagus of the experimental model, shows very similar characteristics as those seen in the newborn with esophageal atresia.
