An overview of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula.

Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are often-concomitant pathologies that primarily afflict neonates. The complications of these anomalies may lead to increased morbidity and mortality, and clinicians should be familiar with the diagnosis and management of these pathologies. Clinicians can improve patient outcomes by having a thorough understanding of the signs and symptoms, classification systems, diagnostic workup, and surgical intervention options for these patients. Early recognition and treatment are imperative in providing patients with the best opportunity for recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
