Oesophageal atresia (EA), a congenital esophagus defect often with tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF), has improved survival rates. However, long-term motility issues persist, impacting quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Oesophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital foregut malformation, frequently associated with tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF) and other anomalies.
  • Despite advances in surgical and clinical management, the underlying pathophysiology of EA remains incompletely understood.
  • High survival rates (~90%) are achieved, but significant long-term complications affect patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of oesophageal atresia (EA) pathophysiology.
  • To highlight the persistent challenges in managing EA patients, particularly long-term complications.
  • To emphasize the role of emerging diagnostic tools in improving patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on EA development, pathophysiology, and clinical management.

  • Analysis of current surgical and clinical care advancements.
  • Discussion of novel diagnostic and screening tools.

    • Main Results:

    • EA pathophysiology understanding lags behind clinical care improvements.
    • Long-term gastrointestinal and respiratory complications are common post-EA repair.
    • Oesophageal motility disorders are prevalent and contribute to complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Improved surgical outcomes for EA have not eliminated long-term morbidity.
    • Oesophageal motility dysfunction is a key factor in post-EA complications.
    • New diagnostic tools like impedance manometry and pH-MII testing offer promise for better long-term management and quality of life.
