Abstract
SummaryThe successful operative management of oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal atresia has been available for approximately 70 years. During this time neonatal intensive care has evolved, surgical techniques have improved and consequently near 100% survival for this condition may now be achieved. In keeping with promising results, the co-morbidities of the condition have gained increasing recognition. In this article, the clinical course from antenatal assessments, neonatal surgery and co-morbidities from infancy to adulthood are reviewed to provide a broad overview of the condition.
