The congenital esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula has been reported only 15 cases up to date in Korea, but this might be the first cases that was operated on successfully. A five day old male infant underwent the Haight`s operation on Nov-l,1968. The diagnosis was made by the esophagography and the operation was performed transpleurally through the right fifth intercostal space and the Stamm`s feeding gastrostomy was made on at the same time. The post-operative course has been uneventful until now. A literature review was done in this subject.[KTCS 1970;1:21-24]
