Transpyloric Tube Placement Shortens Time to Full Feeding in Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Background: Nutritional complications have an impact in both short- and long-term morbidity of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We aimed to compare time to full enteral tube feeding depending on route -gastric (GT) or transpyloric (TPT)- in newborns with left CDH (L-CDH).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of L-CDH patients admitted to a referral tertiary care NICU between January 2007 and December 2014.

[Intestinal cystic duplication. Case report].

Intestinal cystic duplications are rare congenital anomalies, with an estimated incidence of approximately 1:4500 autopsies. The etiopathogenesis is uncertain. These duplications are cystic, tubular or diverticular structures lined with gastrointestinal mucosa.

Long term outcome of preterm infants with isolated intestinal perforation: A comparison between primary anastomosis and ileostomy.

Aim Of The Study: Management of isolated intestinal perforation (IIP) poses a challenge for the pediatric surgeon. Intestinal resection and primary anastomosis is considered to be as good as the classical approach, namely, intestinal diversion by ileostomy. However, few reports compare primary anastomosis and ileostomy as IIP treatment.
