Necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants--is laparotomy necessary?
The occurrence of intestinal perforation is a catastrophic event at any age. Its occurrence in a verylow-birth-weight infant with necrotizing enterocolitis, however, is particularly hazardous.

متن کاملLaparotomy versus peritoneal drainage for necrotizing enterocolitis and perforation.
BACKGROUND Perforated necrotizing enterocolitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants, and the optimal treatment is uncertain. We designed this multicenter randomized trial to compare outcomes of primary peritoneal drainage with laparotomy and bowel resection in preterm infants with perforated necrotizing enterocolitis. METHODS We randomly assigned 117 preterm infan...
متن کاملAbdominal drain placement versus laparotomy for necrotizing enterocolitis with perforation.
Perforated NEC in the fragile, premature infant remains a complex neonatal and surgical problem. Future investigation into the basic mechanisms of the intestinal inflammatory response in the premature neonate may allow for preventive strategies in the management of NEC. Until then, surgical management for perforated NEC will remain a necessary intervention to treat the complications of this dis...
متن کاملNecrotizing enterocolitis symposium: Epidemiology and early diagnosis.
Despite decades of research on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the outlook for infants afflicted by this devastating disease is all too often bleak. The aim of this symposium at the BAPS conference in Amsterdam was to highlight recent advances in the knowledge of the epidemiology and diagnosis of NEC. There were important contributions on the disease in the United Kingdom, both from a neonatal...
متن کاملFecal Calprotectin: A Screening Marker for the Early Detection of Necrotizing Enterocolitis among Children in Egypt
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a lethal disease affecting newborns with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Moreover, it is the most eminent gastrointestinal threat affecting premature newborns. Unfortunately, early symptoms and signs are usually vague; therefore, there is a special demand for sensitive biomarkers in this regard. This study aimed to investigate the role o...
