Background: The use of trans anastomotic feeding tube (TAFT) during the repair of Esophageal atresia/Tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) aims to enhance outcomes by enabling early feeding, reducing the requirement for parenteral nutrition, and reducing complications such as anastomotic leak by stenting the anastomosis. However, TAFT's benefits and drawbacks are debated due to conflicting reports. Thus, we conducted a prospective pilot randomized control trial to elucidate the impact of TAFT on postoperative outcomes and the potential benefits of avoidance of TAFT.

Objective: To examine the association between nonsyndromic esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) and consanguinity.
Study Design: A retrospective study comparing the incidence of EA-TEF between a low-consanguineous Jewish population and a high-consanguineous Bedouin population. All patients were treated at Soroka University Medical Center, the only tertiary medical center in southern Israel.

Introduction: Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is a congenital malformation that occurs in about 1 in 2500-4000 live births. After surgical repair, despite the lack of evidence supporting the routine use of postoperative esophagram, most surgeons report obtaining an esophagram prior to enteral feeding. We hypothesized that abnormal indicators in vital signs, drain characteristics, and chest radiograph (CXR) could be used to screen for anastomotic leak, thus reducing the need for a routine esophagram.

Introduction: Heterogeneity in reported outcomes of infants with oesophageal atresia (OA) with or without tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) prevents effective data pooling. Core outcome sets (COS) have been developed for many conditions to standardise outcome reporting, facilitate meta-analysis and improve the relevance of research for patients and families. Our aim is to develop an internationally-agreed, comprehensive COS for OA-TOF, relevant from birth through to transition and adulthood.

VACTERL association is typically defined as the presence of three components among these birth defects: vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac anomalies, esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF), renal anomalies, and limb defects. There is increasing recognition that VACTERL and other recurrent constellations of embryonic development often overlap clinically and might share pathogenesis. We conducted a comprehensive chart review of a large patient population with VACTERL association from two tertiary care centers in California.
