Long gap esophageal atresia is the congenital lack of the continuity of esophagus with or without communication to the air way, where an extensive separation between the esophageal pouches (more than four centimeters) inhibit the primary anastomosis. For its treatment there are several techniques, but none of them is ideal. A male patient, with diagnosis of long gap esophageal atresia in the neonatal stage was reported, to whom the early esophageal replacement with stomach was performed. The patient's clinical record was revised, of which the data related with the history, the clinical manifestations, the complementary exams and the treatment were taken.

Palabras clave : esophageal atresia; long gap; surgical anastomosis; primary repair.
