Abstract Seventy patients operated on for esophageal atresia are described, with a follow-up extending to the 5th year of life. Nutritional development is also considered. The patients are divided into four groups: (1) uneventful postoperative course; (2) postoperative complications; (3) associated malformations; and (4) colon interposition. The parameters of weight and height in relation to age are taken for each patient, with a graphic representation by the Student t distribution. With the exception of the group with associated malformations with colon interposition and unresolved complications, the nutritional status and development of the patients operated on for esophageal atresia may be considered satisfactory. The role of gastroesophageal reflux in unsatisfactory results for these patients is discussed.
