“…Both Randolph et al and Alexander et al reported higher postoperative stricture rate for patients undergoing primary repair, 40% and 75%, respectively. Postoperative leak rate in the study by Alexander was 75% [5,19]. Our study demonstrates that primary EA/TEF repair results in a much higher incidence of anastomotic stricture compared to staged repair (81% vs 33%).…”

“…The reported leak rate in all patients with EA/TEF varies from 8.5% to 35%, and stricture rates from 8% to 37% [2,3,[15][16][17][18]. Both primary and staged repair have been used in many institutions and various studies report conflicting results with regard to morbidity and mortality in VLBW infants [5,19]. For instance, Pohlson et al [19] studied 31 neonates with an average birth weight of less than 2.5 kg.…”
