Proximal esophageal atresia (esophagus continuous with the mouth ending in a blind loop superior to the sternal angle) with a distal esophagus arising from the lower trachea or carina. (Most common, up to 90% of cases.) Yes: Yes Type D: Type 3C: Proximal esophageal termination on the lower trachea or carina with distal esophagus arising from ...
Esophageal Atresia with both proximal and distal TEFs (two tracheoesophageal fistulas) Both the upper and lower esophageal pouch make an abnormal connection with the trachea in two separate, isolated places. <1% Type E Type 4 - TEF (tracheoesophageal fistula) ONLY with no Esophageal Atresia, H-Type Esophagus fully intact and capable of its ...
T - Tracheoesophageal fistula; E - Esophageal atresia; R - Renal (Kidney) and/or radial anomalies; L - Limb defects; Although it was not conclusive whether VACTERL should be defined by at least two or three component defects, [4] it is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the above congenital malformations.

Prompt surgical treatment is necessary for intestinal malrotation when volvulus has occurred: [citation needed] First, the patient is resuscitated with fluids to stabilize them for surgery; The volvulus is corrected (counterclockwise rotation of the bowel), The fibrous Ladd's bands over the duodenum are cut,
7th-century Byzantine physician Paulus Aegineta described a surgical treatment for imperforate anus for the first time. [ 15 ] 10th-century Persian physician Haly Abbas was the first to highlight preserving the sphincter muscles throughout the surgery and the prevention of strictures with a stent . [ 15 ]
Treatment primarily consists of addressing the underlying cause of EGJOO. [2] For example, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with reflux esophagitis is treated with proton pump inhibitors. Esophageal rings or strictures may be treated with esophageal dilation. Simple observation may be considered, [5] especially if symptoms are minimal or ...
A tracheo-esophageal puncture (or tracheoesophageal puncture) is a surgically created hole between the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus (food pipe) in a person who has had a total laryngectomy, a surgery where the larynx (voice box) is removed. The purpose of the puncture is to restore a person’s ability to speak after the vocal cords ...
Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a lack of continuity between the lower and upper esophageal pouches, often associated with tracheoesophageal fistula. [7] Esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is the most common birth defect of the esophagus .
