Abstract

The first report of a tracheoesophageal fistula without atresia appears to be LAMB’S paper in 1873; the lesion was diagnosed at autopsy in a 7-week old infant. The first successful closure of a fistula appears to have been performed by Imperatori in 1939 via a transtracheal route, in a 6-year old child. The first transthoracic repair was apparently that reported by Haight in 1948; and Miller used the first transcervical aproach in 1958 for a fistula which was situated at the lower pole of the thyroid.
