Treatment for TEF typically involves surgical intervention. The goals of surgery are to close the fistula and connect the esophagus to the stomach. Surgical options may include:
Primary Repair: Direct closure of the fistula and connection of the esophagus. Staged Repair: For more complex cases, initial procedures may stabilize the infant before final repair.
Postoperative care is crucial and may involve respiratory support, feeding management, and monitoring for complications.
