Tracheoesophageal Fistula is a birth defect where the food pipe (esophagus) connects abnormally to the windpipe (trachea), causing feeding difficulties and breathing problems in newborns. Surgery is required soon after birth to correct this condition and prevent complications like choking, aspiration, and repeated lung infections.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia occurs when a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move into the chest, affecting lung development. Babies may have breathing difficulties at birth. Prompt diagnosis, intensive care, and surgery are essential to support breathing and repair the diaphragm for a better long-term outcome.
Neonatal intestinal obstruction prevents food and gas from passing through the baby’s intestines. It may result from conditions like atresias, malrotation, or meconium ileus. Symptoms include vomiting, a swollen belly, and failure to pass stool. Surgical correction is often required, and early treatment improves the chances of full recovery.
