| Core Tip |
Esophageal atresia (EA) is a life-threatening congenital malformation in newborns, and the traditional surgeries pose technical challenges and are extremely invasive. Therefore, surgeons have been actively investigating new minimally invasive techniques to address this issue. In this report, we discussed the primary repair of EA with magnetic compression anastomosis under thoracoscopy. After the primary repair, no additional operation was conducted, and no leakage existed when the transoral feeding started. This case demonstrated that thoracoscopic magnetic compression anastomosis may be a promising minimally invasive approach for repairing EA. |
