Factors affecting the short-term outcome of open surgical repair of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula through an extrapleural approach with azygous vein sparing
Background Congenital esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are common congenital anomalies, affecting one in 2400–4500 neonates. The surgical management of EA/TEF has evolved over the last 60 years and is associated with a progressive improvement in survival. In this study, we performed open surgical repair of EA with TEF, type (Gross C). In all cases, we proceeded with the ...
