About this document

Recurrent Tracheoesophageal Fistula Review by S O is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This systematic review evaluates the management of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistulas (RTEF) in children, comparing open surgery (OS) and endoscopic treatment (ET). The review analyzed 44 studies involving 165 patients, finding that OS had a higher success rate (93.5%) compared to ET (84%), with OS also requiring fewer treatments and having lower complication rates. The findings suggest that while ET remains a viable option, OS is generally preferred due to its better outcomes and lower morbidity.
