OBJECTIVES: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) carries significant morbidity and mortality. There is extensive experimental evidence to support investigation of therapeutic hypothermia in infants with these conditions. We aimed to establish the feasibility and safety of mild hypothermia in preterm neonates with NEC and MODS as a prelude to a randomized trial. METHODS: This was a prospective, nonrandomized pilot study of 15 preterm infants who were referred for surgical intervention of advanced NEC and failure of at least 3 organs...

UNLABELLED: Newborns undergoing surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) often require a stoma. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best time for stoma closure (SC). Our aim was to determine the outcomes of early versus late closure. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent SC following stoma formation for NEC between Jan 2009 and July 2015 was done. Early (EC) versus late closure (LC) was defined as less than 10 weeks versus at or after 10 weeks of stoma formation...

PURPOSE: Neonates after emergent enterostomy creation frequently require reversal at low weight because of complications including cholestasis, dehydration, dumping, failure to thrive, and failure to achieve enteral independence. We investigated whether stoma reversal at low weight (< 2.5kg) is associated with poor surgical outcomes. METHODS: Patients who underwent enterostomy reversal from 2005 to 2013 at less than 6months old were identified in our institutional database...

Aim  Some infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) undergoing surgery require the formation of a stoma. The timing of stoma closure in these patients remains controversial. Our aim was to determine whether the different timing of closure had an impact on patient outcome. Methods  Using a defined search strategy (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science), two investigators (Q.L. and G.L.) independently identified studies comparing early stoma closure (ESC, before 8 weeks from stoma formation) versus late stoma closure (LSC, after 8 weeks) in infants with NEC...

BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis has a wide clinical spectrum of manifestation. We report a novel method of managing focal isolated perforation in necrotizing enterocolitis by using diagnostic laparoscopy to localize the site of perforation and by making a microincision over the perforation to perform exteriorization or limited resection and primary anastomosis. METHODS: We included low-birth weight infants presenting with sudden clinical deterioration and pneumoperitoneum...

Up to half of all patients with necrotizing enterocolitis require acute surgical treatment. Determining when to operate on these patients can be challenging. Utilizing a combination of clinical and metabolic indicators, we sought to identify the optimal timing of surgical intervention. A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients with necrotizing enterocolitis from 2001 to 2010. Previously validated clinical (abdominal erythema, palpable abdominal mass, hypotension), radiographic (pneumoperitoneum, portal venous gas, fixed bowel loop, severe pneumatosis intestinalis), and laboratory (acidosis, bacteremia, hyponatremia, bandemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia) indicators were assessed for the ability to predict the need for acute surgical intervention as a simple indicator score, based on the sum of the indicators listed above...

BACKGROUND: An ostomy seems a safe alternative in neonates with an acute abdomen when immediate restoration of bowel continuity is deemed undesirable. Faced with several complications in our center, and the feeling we are not the only center with these complications, we decided to assess the rate and type of complications after both ostomy creation and closure. METHODS: All data regarding neonates (<30 days of age) who underwent a laparotomy for a suspected abdominal emergency in the period 2000 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed...

AIM: The aim of this study is to define patterns in the management of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). METHODS: A total of 80 delegates (81% senior surgeons) from 29 (20 European) countries completed a survey at the European Pediatric Surgeons' Association 2013 annual meeting. RESULTS: Overall, 59% surgeons work in centers where>10 cases of NEC are treated per year. DIAGNOSIS: 76% surgeons request both anteroposterior and lateral abdominal X-rays, which are performed at regular intervals by 66%; 50% surgeons also request Doppler ultrasonography; most frequently used biochemical markers are platelets (99% of surgeons), C-reactive protein (90%), and white cell count (83%)...

The current report is a multicenter study of a series of infants who developed colonic strictures (CS) as a sequelae of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and who were treated successfully with laparoscopic intestinal resection and primary anastomosis. During 2005-2008, 11 neonates (gestational ages, 32-38 weeks), with a mean birth weight of 1.7 kg (range, 0.96-2.2) and a mean weight at operation of 3.04 kg (range, 1.6-4.4 were approached laparoscopically, following the diagnosis of a post-NEC-CS. The two surgical techniques were: 1) laparoscopic mobilization with extracorporeal resection and anastomosis (LERA) in 4 (36%) and 2) laparoscopic mobilization with intracorporeal resection and anastomosis (LIRA) in 7 (64%) patients...

BACKGROUND/AIM: Established indications for surgery in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are pneumoperitoneum and failure to improve or clinical deterioration with medical treatment alone. It has been proposed that infants with intestinal necrosis may benefit from surgery in the absence of one of these indications yet the diagnosis of definitive intestinal necrosis is challenging. Recent data suggest that abdominal ultrasound (US) examination focused on the gastrointestinal tract and the peritoneal cavity may be of utility in this regard...

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, a stoma is established after resection of perforated or necrotic intestine for isolated intestinal perforation (IIP) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We compared the outcome of resection and anastomosis (RA) with stoma formation (RS). METHODS: Sixty-eight neonates undergoing laparotomy for IIP (n = 20), NEC (n = 43), and indeterminate cause (n = 5) were reviewed retrospectively. Intestinal resection was followed by either anastomosis or stoma...
