    Summary

    This study reports a 93% survival rate for neonates with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, with generally satisfactory long-term outcomes despite associated anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Care
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are complex congenital anomalies requiring specialized care.
    • Long-term outcomes and management strategies for these conditions necessitate ongoing evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a nine-year experience with esophageal atresia of all types.
    • To evaluate current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and their long-term results.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 53 neonates diagnosed with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula over a nine-year period.
    • Assessment of survival rates, postoperative morbidity, esophageal motility, and gastroesophageal reflux.
    • Review of outcomes for isolated esophageal atresia and H-type fistulae, including those with associated anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • A 93% survival rate was achieved for neonates with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula.
    • Temporary postoperative morbidity occurred in 10% of patients; all patients exhibited some esophageal motility disturbance.
    • Five patients with isolated esophageal atresia and five with H-type fistulae survived repair, with overall survival rates of 93.5% initially and 91% long-term.

    Conclusions:

    • Current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches yield high survival rates for esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula.
    • Long-term functional results are generally satisfactory, although esophageal motility disturbances and reflux require monitoring.
    • Associated anomalies present a significant challenge but do not preclude favorable long-term outcomes.
