Topic overview
Recurrent Tracheoesophageal Fistula (rTEF) is a complication of Esophageal Atresia (EA) that can lead to severe respiratory symptoms. RTEF can be corrected via endotracheal treatment (ET) or surgical treatment (ST). The efficacy of these techniques varies in literature. This study presents the outcome of rTEF treatment after EA correction at the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in Utrecht.
