Thoracic Musculoskeletal Deformities Following Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Atresia - Thoracoscopic Versus Open Approach: A Retrospective Two Centers Cohort Study

In brief

This two-center retrospective study compares long-term thoracic musculoskeletal complications between open thoracotomy and thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia in pediatric patients. The research evaluates whether minimally invasive thoracoscopic techniques reduce the frequency and severity of chest wall deformities and scoliosis compared to traditional open surgical approaches.
