Diagnosis and Management of Congenital H-Type Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Results of a National Survey
Bibliographic Data
H-TEF prevalence was six cases/year, consistent with the expected rate of five cases/year in our country. The diagnosis was challenging, sometimes delayed, and, in most patients, required multiple examinations. Fistula ligation and section through cervicotomy were the most frequent treatment. Long-term outcomes are good, and recurrence is a rare event
