Repair of oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula associated with dextrocardia through right-sided thoracotomy approach

We report a neonate with long-gap OA with tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF), dextrocardia, and left-sided aortic arch who was successfully operated by using right thoracotomy. On the basis of our review of the literature and our experience from this case, we found that conventional right thoracotomy is appropriate for OA+ TOF associated with dextrocardia and left aortic arch, and left thoracotomy in dextrocardia and right aortic arch.
