Although EA can be life-threatening in its most severe forms and could cause long-term nutritional concerns, the majority of children fully recover if it’s detected early. The best treatment for EA is usually surgery to reconnect the two ends of the baby’s esophagus to each other.
The Esophageal and Airway Treatment Center at Boston Children’s Hospital is one of the only programs in the country specifically designed to care for children with all forms of EA. After a diagnosis has been made, our team of experts will meet to review and discuss what they have learned about your child’s condition. Then we will meet with you and your family to discuss the results and outline the best treatment options.
For 150 years, we’ve been a worldwide leader in multidisciplinary pediatric care and the treatment of complex diseases and conditions. Our globally renowned team of physicians and nurses cares for more than 650,000 patient visits and performs more than 27,000 surgical procedures each year while serving patients from over 160 different countries, making us one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the world.
