Objective A meta-analysis was performed for a comparison of outcomes between open
repair (OR) and thoracoscopic repair (TR) for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal …

Background: A thoracoscopic approach for repair of esophageal atresia (EA) with
tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has become a standard procedure in many pediatric …

Introduction The thoracoscopic approach to esophageal atresia (EA) with
tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) represents a challenging procedure whose real benefits …

Esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) require emergency surgery in
the neonatal period to prevent aspiration and respiratory compromise. Surgery was once …

Background: Optimal surgical treatment of infants with esophageal atresia (EA) and
tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) remains controversial. In order to better understand …

Aim Thoracoscopic repair (TR) of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula
(EA/TEF) remains a considerable challenge, even for the most experienced pediatric …

Purpose The potential benefits of thoracoscopic repair (TR) of esophageal atresia and
tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) in newborns are still unclear. Our aim was to define the …

We reviewed the available literature on the role of minimally invasive techniques for
esophageal atresia (EA)/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair. No prospective studies …

Aim: This systematic review analyzed outcomes in thoracoscopic “primary” repair of type-C
esophageal atresia. Materials and Methods: The Healthcare Database Advance Search …

Abstract Background/Purpose We describe our initial experience of thoracoscopic
esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) repair. Methods Twenty …
