Endoscopic treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula using electrocautery and the Nd:YAG laser
TLDR
Endoscopic treatment of recurrent and congenital H-type tracheoesophageal fistula is technically easier than open surgical procedures and helps avoid the risks associated with the latter, and the Nd:YAG laser is qualitatively better than electrocautery for the obliteration of the fistula.About:

Oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula
TL;DR: An overview of current and emerging strategies in managing patients with oesophageal atresia-tracheo-oesophageals fistula and advances in developmental biology and molecular genetics reflecting improved understanding of the pathogenesis are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endoscopic management of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula.
TL;DR: Analysis of all reported cases in the literature and results from the patient series suggests that endoscopic techniques designed to both de-epithelialize the fistula tract and seal with fibrin glue have the best chance for cure after a single attempt.

TL;DR: The highlighted gaps in knowledge underline the need for further research and serve as a call to paediatric bronchoscopists to work together in multicentre collaborations, for the benefit of children with airway disorders.

Endoscopic treatment of congenital H-Type and recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula with electrocautery and histoacryl glue.
TL;DR: Endoscopic treatment oftracheoesophageal fistulae with electrocautery and histoacryl glue has been a safe and successful technique of managing H-Type and recurrent tracheoesphageal Fistulae and it is highlighted that diathermy should be carefully controlled and applied preferably in the small non-patulous fistULae.

TL;DR: Any TEF baby who has signs and symptoms related to feeding and/or chest infections must be considered to have a recurrent TEF and a persistent and diligent search should be made for it.

Secondary esophageal surgery following repair of esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula
TL;DR: Improvements in the technique of esophageal anastomosis, and in recent years the use of fundoplication to correct gastroesophageals reflux have led to a marked reduction in the need for secondary surgery to the esophagus after repair of esphageal atresia.

Endoscopic diathermy obliteration of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistulae.
TL;DR: Two patients in whom successful obliteration of a recurrent fistula has been achieved by diathermy at bronchoscopy are reported, compared to previous reports of fistula obliteration using tissue adhesives.

TL;DR: This is the first successful endoscopic obliteration of a recurrent TEF in a Saudi child using Histoacryle (n-butyl-z-cyanoacrylate) and Polidocanol (aethoxysclerol).

Treatment of congenital tracheoesophageal fistula by endoscopic laser coagulation: preliminary report of three cases.
TL;DR: Three newborns with congenital tracheoesophageal fistula were treated by endoscopic laser coagulation, with successful and uneventful course in two cases contrasts with the incomplete obliteration in one case caused by inadequate energy application and/or early localized instillation of contrast medium for radiologic control examination.
