Surgical treatment of infants with esophageal atresia and VATER association.

Our surgical experience in 10 infants with esophageal atresia and the VATER association of multiple congenital anomalies is reviewed. Early recognition and evaluation of the various lesions enabled the planning of a staged surgical approach with a satisfactory outcome. Seven of the patients survived. There were no immediate postoperative deaths. Development and growth curves of the surviving patients are satisfactory. Despite multiple operative procedures infants with VATER association may lead a reasonably normal life.
