| | esophageal atresia |
 | | Esophageal atresia is a condition in which the esophagus is not fully developed. | | | A baby with esophageal atresia often has other medical problems, such as heart, kidney, or gastrointestinal conditions. | | | It is a congenital condition, which means that it is present at birth. |

| | Esophageal atresia |
| | This condition usually occurs with tracheoesophageal fistula, a condition in which the esophagus is improperly attached to the trachea, the nearby tube that connects the nasal area to the lungs. | | | Infants with esophageal atresia are unlikely to survive without surgery to reconnect the esophagus. | | | During fetal development, the esophagus and the trachea arise from the same original tissue. |

| | Subsequent to that child's survival and with advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques, esophageal atresia is now regarded as an eminently correctable congenital lesion. | | | This theory does not easily account for esophageal atresia, but it explains TEF as a deficiency or breakdown of esophageal mucosa, which occurs as the linear growth of the organ exceeds the cellular division of the esophageal epithelium. | | | Echocardiography is indicated early in the care of the infant with esophageal atresia who has clinical signs of cardiovascular disease. |

| | What is Esophageal Atresia? |
| | Esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula are as individual as the child is. | | | In fact, an article from the more recent past by C. Everett Koop and James Hamilton, Atresia of the Esophagus: Increased Survival with Staged Procedure in the Poor Risk Infant, mentions that in a series of 41 patients 13 were initially managed by the Richter technique, i.e. | | | As a parallel, one could say there was a "surgical era" which began in 1888 in which advances and interest in surgery were being made. |

| | Sometimes esophageal atresia requires more than one surgery. | | | If your baby has TE fistula or esophageal atresia, he/she will need surgery to fix the problem. | | | Your baby's surgeon and other physicians will decide when it is best to do the operations, based on your baby's condition and the type of problem. |

| | A contrast study confirmed esophageal atresia and the baby was taken up for thoracotomy, ligation of fistula and primary end to end anastomosis. | | | Though a stiff catheter should be used when looking for an esophageal atresia, the maneuver should be very gentle. | | | The blind upper pouch was found to have a tiny perforation, which was incorporated in the anastomosis. |

| | The acknowledged advantages of using the child's own esophagus and our success with true primary esophageal repairs for even the longest gaps, are the reason for presenting this option. | | | We have also found that the parents and primary care providers are the best and most effective advocates for these children. | | | We have observed that the primary repair option is not always presented to parents and for the more difficult cases, only less satisfactory esophageal substitutes may be offered. |
