Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia through the right chest in neonates with right-sided aortic arch.

The management of neonates with esophageal atresia (EA) associated with right-sided aortic arch (RAA) is often difficult technically. Many surgeons would advise for repair through left-chest access. In this article, we report our experience of repairing 2 patients with EA associated with RAA thoracoscopically. We conclude that thoracoscopic repair is ideal for all patients with EA.
