About Kidney Defects
In Oesophageal Atresia (OA), the baby is born with a pouch at the top of its oesophagus (food pipe) which prevents food from reaching the stomach. Prior to surgery, this pouch can fill up with food and saliva, which can eventually overflow into the baby’s trachea (windpipe), entering the lungs and causing choking.
