Abstract :
The insertion of an intraesophageal bougie has been a common step in hiatal repair procedures. This process is similar to insertion of a gastric tube (GT) in anesthetized, paralyzed, and intubated patients that can be difficult. We report an unusually difficult intraesophageal bougie insertion in an intubated pediatric patient owing to esophageal stricture.
