Clinical challenges and outcomes of thoracoscopic <i>versus</i> open repair in esophageal atresia: a single-center retrospective comparative study
Successful TR for EA with distal TEF requires advanced anesthesia and efforts to overcome the learning curve of surgical skill with limited thoracoscopic instruments for neonates. Despite challenges, TR is considered a feasible method for EA with distal TEF patients when performed by experienced pediatric surgeons with appropriate anesthesia support.
