We aim to analyze the literature on left sided CDH with EA and TEF and report our experience, hypothesizing that delaying right chest approach for EA\/TEF repair improves outcomes. We report a case of a 1.5\u00a0kg 32-week patient who survived a staged approach of initial CDH repair and abdominal control of TEF with gastrostomy to water seal and vessel loop encircling the gastroesophageal junction followed by EA\/TEF repair at 18\u00a0days of life. This case report and review of the literature highlights the benefit of a staged surgical approach for left CDH, EA, and TEF; initially proceeding with CDH repair and abdominal control of the TEF first, followed by EA\/TEF repair once the patient stabilizes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaf333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]],"date-time":"2025-05-30T19:19:00Z","timestamp":1748632740000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The boy who lived: staged repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula in a 32-week, 1.5\u00a0kg infant, and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6730-950X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John M","family":"Woodward","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Surgery , 100 High Street, Buffalo, NY 14215 ,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Surgery, John R.
