Congenital atresia of the esophagus is readily correctable surgically. Coexisting anomalies and prematurity are the chief factors militating against a successful outcome, which should now be anticipated in at least 70 per cent of cases. The procedure of choice, primary anastomosis, is feasible in virtually all cases in which there is a tracheoesophageal fistula, and this group comprises the vast majority. Prompt diagnosis and early operation are essential.
