Core Tip	Despite preliminary tracheobronchoscopy (TBS) in the management of newborns affected by esophageal atresia (EA) being described in 1981, only a few studies have clearly explored the advantages of TBS in the subsequent years and this procedure is still not routinely part of the diagnostic and surgical assessment in many international pediatric surgery centers. This review provides a detailed overview on the use of TBS in newborns with EA, focusing on technical and anesthesiological aspects, benefits and risks of this procedure. TBS is also compared with alternative diagnostic tools, such as an esophageal contrast study, computed tomography scan and ultrasound.
