Abstract:
:Survival of infants with necrotizing enterocolitis may be complicated by intestinal stricture(s) as a result of healing of ischemic segments of bowel. An asymptomatic cecal stenosis not visible on barium enema was identified at operation for reestablishment of intestinal continuity. Infants recovering from acute necrotizing enterocolitis deserve continued surveillance for mechanical and functional abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. Patency of the intestinal lumen distal to the ostomy site should be clearly demonstrated by the surgeon when continuity is reestablished.
