Esophageal Atresia
摘要
Since the first successful repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in 1941 by Cameron Haight, the survival of patients progressively improved with the current survival rate exceeding 90% due to advancements in anesthesia and neonatal intensive care. The precise surgical anastomosis of the esophageal segments in a newborn is a critical test of a pediatric surgeon’s expertise.
