Abstract

Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia (OA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is one of the most advanced and technically demanding minimally invasive surgery (MIS) operations in pediatric surgery. Since the first report by Rothenberg and Lobe in 1999 [1], there has been much investment in the development of this operation. There remains much debate about the benefits and risks of the thoracoscopic approach compared with those of open surgery. Nevertheless it is now performed by those with sufficiently advanced MIS skills with good outcomes.
