Esophageal atresia is a rare but severe malformation, and it requires early surgery. Coloesophagoplasty is surgical repair of the esophageal with an isoperistaltic transverse colon graft. In the postoperative period after coloesophagoplasty children require careful monitoring of fluid balance, because clinically significant fluid overload can lead to dysfunction of various organs and systems.
