Abstract

Esophageal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly and it usually associated with tracheo-esophgeal fistula and other congenital anomalies. The first report of esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula was done by Thomas Gibson in 1696. In 1941, Haight performed the first successful primary anastomosis for esophageal atresia. These accomplishments opened the gateway for clinical studies that have resulted in reinforcements and improvement in the care of infants born with this anomaly. From January 1986 to April 1994, 14 cases of esophgeal atresia with tracheo-esophgeal fistula were diagnosed in Kyung Hee Uinv. Hospital. There were 9 male and 5 female infants. 12 infants were Gross classification type C and 2 infants were type A. The average body weight was 2.7$\pm$0.4kg and Waterson Category A contained 4 infants, B contained 3 infants and C contained 7 infants. Among these infants, 9 infants were underwent anastomosis procedures. We performed retropleural approach in 6 infants, transpleural approach in 2 infants and 1 infant was performed colon interposition through substernal space.By the method of anastomosis, end-to-side anastomosis was performed in 5 infants, end-to-end anastomosis in 3 infants and esophagocologastrostomy in 1 infant.The former 8 infants were Gross classification type C and the latter was type A. Among the type C infants, 6 infants were anastomosed with one layer interrupted suture and 2 infants with 2 layer interrupted suture. Post- operative death was in 1 infant and 8 infants were discharged with good result and have been in good condition.
