Isolated tracheoesophageal fistula versus esophageal atresia – early morbidity and short-term outcome. A single institution series

Abstract Purpose We compared the postnatal course, morbidity and early results after repair for cases of isolated or "pure" TEF with those for cases of esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Methods Twenty-four consecutive infants were divided into two groups:...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Purpose We compared the postnatal course, morbidity and early results after repair for cases of isolated or "pure" TEF with those for cases of esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Methods Twenty-four consecutive infants were divided into two groups: isolated TEF [TEF group] (n=5) and EA with distal TEF [EA group] (n=19). Results. A high rate of prematurity (29%) and major cardiac and other surgically-relevant malformations (0.8 vs. 0.7 per infant) was found in both groups. The median age at surgery was 8 days for the TEF group vs. 1 day for the EA group (p
