A three-year-old girl has eaten
autonomously for the first time after her esophagus was
reconstructed by a team of surgeons at Turin's Regina Margherita
pediatric hospital.
The little girl suffered from a congenital malformation -
type A esophageal atresia.
Before the groundbreaking surgery, the toddler was first fed
through a nasogastric tube and then intravenously.
