A newborn is diagnosed with either trisomy 18 or 13 with TE (tracheoesophageal) fistula which requires surgery. Mother request surgeon to repair the TE-fistula. What should a surgeon do? (Important)
Answer: surgeon should refuse to do the repairative surgery because these conditions (trisomy 18 or 13) are nonviable. If the patient survives, surgeon can put a gastrostomy feeding tube for nutrition. However, please remember that a patient with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) with TE fistula should be operated on.

toyotacorolla, could you please clarify. Do you operate or not on the pt? You initial and final sentences seem to contradict each other.
Thx
