Surgery and neonatal care have made striking advances during this half century, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the field of neonatal surgery. But the care of the baby with oesophageal atresia requires more than a surgeon and a neonatologist, and our experience has shown the need for a multidisci- plinary approach involving anaesthetists, intensive care therapists, thor- acic physicians, general paediatricians, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, nephrologists and geneti- cists.

About this product

Product Information

This study sets out to describe all aspects of a congenital anomaly which has been described as the epitome of modern surgery and the raison d'etre of pediatric surgery . The book is presented in eight sections, commencing with a summary of the historical events of significance, followed by epidemiology and genetics, embryology, anatomy and pathophysiology. The clinical aspects commence with chapters dealing with diagnosis, transport, anaesthesia and intensive care. This is followed by a section which addresses the surgical aspects of the specific variants of the anormaly. A major problem in a baby with oesophageal atresia is the associated anomalies which are present in over 50% of the patients; therefore section 4 is devoted to the consideration of these anomalies with emphasis on the most important specific anomalies. It also includes the overall care of the child and family and to complete the monograph by describing the management of specific problems and complications, and the longterm results of surgery. This book is presented in the hope that it will be of help to all concerned with the care of the baby with oesophageal atresia and its family, recognizing that the field is wide, involving as it does representatives of many medical and paramedical disciplines.
