Abstract
Esophageal atresia (EA) repair has always been a source of immense professional gratification for the pediatric surgeon. In many ways, this anomaly defines the entire profession. Due to its rarity, there is an increased risk of inadvertent events occurring during correction. This article describes some of the error traps that may occur in attempting esophageal reconstruction and how they may be avoided.
