Esophageal atresia

All newborns with this malformation will automatically be referred to the clinic and be followed according to a well-defined protocol. Older children and adolescents who already have the malformation are gradually integrated into the clinic to allow standardization of follow-up, and ensure preparation for a smooth transition to a specialized adult site in the future.
