Popis: Background: The superiority of thoracoscopic repair (TR) over conventional open repair (COR) for esophageal atresia, especially in terms of long-term outcomes, remains to be investigated. The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term results between TR and COR group. Methods: Patients who underwent TR or COR for esophageal atresia without other predispositions to musculoskeletal deformities (2003–2016) and had been followed up for a minimum of 5 years were retrospectively reviewed. Musculoskeletal deformities (e.g., scoliosis, chest wall asymmetry, and rib deformities) were mainly evaluated based on the most recent chest radiographs. Results: Nine and eight patients were included in the TR and COR groups, respectively; the mean follow-up period was 8.7 and 11.5 years, respectively (p = 0.14). These groups had similar epidemiological characteristics and rates of postoperative complications. Musculoskeletal deformities developed significantly less frequently in the TR group versus the COR group (11 % vs. 88 %, p
