Between 20 and 40 infants with esophageal atresia are born in Czech Republic annually. During 17 years 209 infants with this diagnosis
were operated on in authors’ department. Mortality is relatively low (10 %) but chronic morbidity remains high especially in infants with
long-gap atresia. There are problems that persist lifelong in some patients. They include swallowing problems, failure to thrive, anastomotic
strictures, gastroesophageal reflux, respiratory problems, symptoms of tracheomalacie and psychosocial problems. Symptoms,
diagnosis and treatment of the most common delayed problems after operation of esophageal atresia are summarized.
Keywords: esophageal atresia, failure to thrive, swallowing problems, tracheomalacia, gastroesophageal reflux, esophagogastroplasty
