About this document
Tracheoesophageal Fistula Development by Pankaj Singh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Tracheoesophageal fistula occurs when the tracheoesophageal septum deviates during embryonic development, causing an abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus. 2. It has an incidence of 1 in 3,000 to 4,000 live births and can be associated with other birth defects. 3. Surgical repair is required to close the fistula and reconnect the esophagus. This involves mobilizing and dividing the fistula, closing the trachea, and reconnecting the esophagus.
