What is the Prognosis for Children with Esophageal Atresia?
The prognosis for children with EA has improved significantly with advances in surgical techniques and neonatal care. Most children with EA can expect to lead healthy lives, although they may require ongoing monitoring and management of potential complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), tracheomalacia, or esophageal strictures. Early intervention and multidisciplinary care are essential for optimizing outcomes.
