As a rare disease, esophageal atresia has its challenges both in the research area and on clinical grounds. Therefore, professionals working in the field of esophageal atresia from around the world have been gathering at the INoEA conferences for more than a decade. These meetings have had a great impact on understanding the disease process. They promote scientific knowledge and collaboration, thus, improving patient care.
PAAFIS is an interdisciplinary forum on foregut disease from birth to adulthood. It focuses on congenital and acquired disorders involving all organs derived from the embryological foregut.
The Aerodigestive Society deals with the understanding and care of multifaceted problems of aerodigestive patients whose diseases originate in childhood.
