Mechanical feeding difficulties after primary repair of oesophageal atresia. 1985

I J Smith, and J Beck

A detailed feeding questionnaire was sent to 35 sets of parents of children who had undergone successful primary repair of oesophageal atresia. Twenty-three were returned completed. All indicated difficulty with feeding. Some foods were better tolerated than others. Eighteen children had episodes of food sticking in the oesophagus, the parents using a variety of techniques to remove this. We feel that it may be possible to offer constructive, practical advice on feeding these children.
