Thoracic musculoskeletal deformities following surgical treatment of esophageal atresia - thoracoscopic versus open approach: A retrospective two centers cohort study
Thoracic musculoskeletal deformities are significant complications following open correction of esophageal atresia (EA) during long-term follow-up. We aimed to compare the frequency and severity of thoracic musculoskeletal deformities after open and thoracoscopic repair of EA. We hypothesized that fewer deformities would occur following the less invasive thoracoscopic approach.
