Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: To find out the outcome of TEF surgery in our hospital. Material and methods: A retrospective study for 5 years was done from the records in our institution. Chi-Square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to find out the statistical significance and the P-Value <0.05 considered as significant. Results: Total 118 cases were included into the study. Only 26 (22%) cases survived postoperatively and discharged. Babies entering into our institution during first day of life survive more compared to others (29.4% Vs 8.7% & 14.3%). Primary TEF repair babies survive more compared to EG babies (24% Vs 11.1%). Conclusion: Babies entering first day of life into our care and primary TEF repair seems to survive more compared to others.
