OESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA: 10 YEARS STUDY

Oesophageal atresia

Oesophageal atresia (OA) encompasses a group of congenital anomalies comprising of an interruption of the continuity of the oesophagus with or without a persistent communication with the trachea. In 86% of cases there is a distal tracheooesophageal fistula, in 7% there is no fistulous connection, while in 4% there is a tracheooesophageal fistula without atresia. OA occurs in 1 in 2500 live birt...

Tracheo-oesophageal fistula and oesophageal atresia: results of 30 years' experience.

One hundred and sixteen cases of oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula operated upon during the period 1939-67 are reviewed. Current views on, initially, surgical care and ultimate management are discussed. Treatment of this challenging congenital oeso-phageal disorder was started in this department by Professor Philip Allison in 1939. Initially the procedures undertaken were oeso...
