This book is about the early diagnosis and management of cases of CES in children  It starts by introducing the basic physiology of the esophagus and then goes on to discuss the  different types of CES: tracheobronchial remnant, fibromuscular disease and membranous disease.  The authors also introduce their pioneering diagnostic method using surgical specimens from the tips of the esophageal pouches during primary repair. The book also discusses the anatomical and structural changes in EA.

The reader will become better informed about management and different diagnostic and treatment approaches for CES and will learn how to improve the rates of  morbidity and mortality. Pediatric surgeons and upper GI tract clinicians will greatly benefit from this publication.
