This video covers the basics of EA / TEF and its surgical management. We discuss exactly what EA and TEF stand for, go through the often confusing classification system for EA/TEF, explain how the anatomic abnormalities lead to the presenting symptoms, discuss diagnosis and workup (especially related to the VACTERL association), and finally the surgical goals of the repair and potential postoperative complications.
