The presence of duodenal atresia related to type IIIb intestinal atresia is a rare association, with few cases reported in the literature, representing a surgical challenge considering that even isola...
We present the case report of a newborn sent to the second level of care with a diagnosis of duodenal obstruction not diagnosed prenatally, which resulted in duodenal atresia due to annular pancreas a...
The surgical management of this complex intestinal malformation resulted in a case with an adequate post-surgical evolution, based on the immediate start of enteral feeding with a short period of need...
The primitive gut originates at week 3 of gestation from the endoderm, with posterior incorporation of the remaining embryo layers. Wnt, Notch and TLR4 pathways have been shown to play central roles i...
This study explored the feasibility of mesoplasty with end-to-side anastomosis in the treatment of different apple-peel mesenteric defects with high jejunal atresia....
A retrospective analysis was performed on 42 premature infants admitted to the hospital between 2014 and 2021. Prenatal ultrasound scans revealed bowel dilatation. The patients experienced vomiting af...
Three patients died and 39 survived. The discharged patients were followed up for 12 months, and none showed post-operative complications such as intestinal obstruction, malnutrition, or chronic diarr...
For cases of high jejunal atresia with apple-peel intestinal atresia, mesoplasty may be a good option to avoid postoperative volvulus....
This study analyzed the efficacy of web excision combined with a pre-membranous incision on the dilated proximal segment for congenital intestinal atresia with type I and stenosis (CIA-I/S)....
Twenty-six patients underwent surgery for CIA-I/S from January 1990 to June 2022. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to the surgical procedure: Group A, web excision with pre-membranous...
No patient experienced anastomotic leakage or obstruction. There were no significant differences in operative duration or blood loss among the 3 Groups. The median time to feeding initiation was 4, 6....
Web excision, when compared to enteroplasty and diamond-shaped anastomosis, showed comparable results in terms of the operative duration and postoperative complications. However, it may allow for an e...
We aimed to compare the outcomes of primary anastomosis (PA) and enterostomy as treatments for intestinal atresia in neonates to identify the factors influencing the choice of modality....
We conducted a retrospective single-centre analysis of all neonates with intestinal atresia between 2000 and 2020 and measured the clinical outcomes. We performed logistic regression to identify facto...
Of 62 intestinal atresia neonates, 71% received PA. There were no significant differences in gestation, gender, age at operation, birth weight, or body weight at operation between the PA and enterosto...
Both surgical approaches achieved comparable outcomes, but PA was associated with short hospital stays and the avoidance of stoma-related complications, and reoperation was generally not required. Thi...
To assess real-world educational outcomes, neurodevelopmental disorders and mental health disorders in patients with intestinal atresia (IA) and compare these to outcomes to age-matched controls....
We performed a retrospective case-control study of children with IA born between 1991 and 2017. We evaluated educational outcomes using an Early Developmental Instrument, Grades 3, 7 and 8 assessments...
We identified a total of 94 IA cases and 940 date-of-birth-matched controls. Cases with chromosomal anomalies were more likely to fail the Early Developmental Instrument (OR = 2.88, p = 0.037), Grade ...
Our study demonstrated that IA patients without chromosomal anomalies are not at higher risk of neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders than controls. These results will offer more accurate out...
If a newborn does not pass the first bowel movement within 48 hours, there may be an underlying cause. We describe a rare cause of delayed meconium passage....
The neonate was born after a gestational age of 40 weeks and 2 days. The home birth was followed by a good start. Radiological imaging was performed due to the absence of the first stool and an increa...
Delayed meconium passage has a very extensive differential diagnosis, in which an atresia of the intestine is one of the possibilities. A quick and structured approach is essential to prevent a possib...
Jejunoileal atresia is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. Results of long-term outcome are very limited. The aim of this study was to describe perioperative and postoperative outcome, ...
We conducted a combined retrospective and cross-sectional observational study of patients treated for jejunoileal atresia during 2001-2019. Perioperative data were registered, and complications were c...
Seventy patients were included in the retrospective part of the study. Of these, 70% got a primary anastomosis. Concomitant anomalies were registered in 46%. Median length of stay was 28 (5-140) days....
Jejunoileal atresia is associated with significant morbidity during initial treatment. Despite this, the majority of the patients have excellent long-term outcomes....
Colon atresia is one of the rarest congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract, with an incident range of between 1 in 10,000 and 66,000 live births. Type I colonic atresia affects only the muc...
This study reports a 14-h term white middle-eastern female infant with type I transverse colonic atresia complicated by the association of Hirschsprung disease and provides a brief literature review o...
The association between colonic atresia and Hirschsprung disease poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Considering Hirschsprung disease as a possible association in colon atresia patients can ...
Microcolon helps diagnose small bowel atresia (SBA) using contrast enema. However, there are no ultrasonography (US) microcolon criteria for diagnosing SBA. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate col...
US was performed on 46 neonates aged ≤ 7 days old. In the study group (n = 15), neonates with SBA were confirmed following surgery. In the study group without SBA (n = 15), neonates with other gastroi...
Colonic diameters (0.5 cm) in the study group (interquartile ranges [IQR], 0.5-0.6 cm) was significantly smaller than that in the group without SBA (0.9 cm; IQR, 0.8-1.2 cm) (P < 0.001) and in the con...
