Thoracoscopic Repair of Recurrent Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF) Following Failed Primary Open Repair for Congenital Esophageal Atresia with TEF

چکیده
A 4-month-old female infant was admitted to the outpatient clinic and presented with vomiting and poor feeding for weeks. She was born at 35 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 1900 g to a secundigravida. Neither antenatal anomaly nor perinatal insult was noted. She underwent open repair for EA with TEF in a local hospital when she was 2 days old. After the operation, she tolerated oral feeding well without easy choking or vomiting and was discharged 1 month later. She had been well until feeding problems developed approximately 2 months after the operation. Post-operative esophageal stricture was highly suspected, and she was admitted to our ward.
