Tracheoesophageal Fistula

https://www.facebook.com/TheENPTPodcast

Happy Tuesday, hello teammates. This week’s episode I am going to be discussing Tracheoesophageal Fistula, a congenital malformation that usually occurs during organogenesis and results in an abnormal connection between the esophagus and trachea. TEF occurs when the wall that normally separates the esophagus and trachea does not form correctly before birth. Because the tubes are connected, swallowed food or liquid can be inhaled into the lungs. Who successful performed the first primary repair case of TEF?? What is its pathophysiology? What is the clinical presentation? How do we treat it? Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF/TOF) is a rare congenital abnormality with incidence approximately 1 per 3500-4000 live births. The separation etiology of primitive trachea and esophagus still not completely understood, the most commonly accepted hypothesis is defect in the lateral septation of the foregut into trachea and esophagus causes TEF.
