Although initial prognosis of oesophageal atresia is nowadays excellent with more than 95% of survival, the long-term complications are frequent. A gastro-oesophageal reflux is found in 26 to 75% of the cases, responsible for peptic oesophagitis, anastomotic stenosis and Barrett's oesophagus, risk factor of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. A dysphagia is frequently observed on these patients, sometimes several years after the surgery, observed in almost 45% of five-year-old children. Growth retardation is found in nearly a third of these children. Respiratory symptoms are particularly frequent, especially in the first years, associating tracheomalacia facilitating the bronchopulmonary infectious episodes (found in about 30% of 5-year-old children). Esotracheal fistula recurrence is very rare. A deformation of the rib cage is reported in 20%, and a scoliosis in 10% of the patients. However, the quality of life of these patients in the adulthood is good, and influenced by the existence of associated malformations. Even if the current prognosis of oesophageal atresia is good altogether, the frequency of the complications (digestive, respiratory, nutritional, orthopaedic) far from the initial intervention, and the necessity of a surveillance of the secondary oesophageal damages, justifies a systematic and multidisciplinary follow-up until adulthood.
