Repair of Tracheoesophageal Fistula via Median Sternotomy Approach
We present a neonatal patient diagnosed with EA/TEF in conjunction with pulmonary agenesis requiring definitive repair via median sternotomy. The child was born at 33 weeks gestational age with post-delivery respiratory distress necessitating intubation. A nasogastric tube was unable to be passed. After subsequent imaging, TEF and pulmonary agenesis were diagnosed. During planned staged repair with ligation of TEF via standard right thoracotomy approach, significant ventilatory compromise was encountered. Due to concern for ventilatory compromise and anatomical variance limiting visualization, a median sternotomy approach ...

Balloon dilatation for congenital esophageal stenosis associated with esophageal atresia
ConclusionsTwenty-three percent of patients with EA had CES. Although balloon dilatation for EA-associated CES required multiple treatments and carried a risk of perforation, balloon dilatation showed an 89% success rate and all perforations could be managed conservatively.

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. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)
