Introduction: Stoma formation in neonates is often a life-saving procedure across a variety of conditions but is still associated with significant morbidity. Tube stoma technique was originally described for short bowel patients, but in selected cases of neonates this approach could prevent the incidence of stoma-related complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and utility of tube stomas as an alternative to conventional enterostomy in the neonatal population.
Material And Methods: A retrospective multicentre analysis of neonates undergoing emergency laparotomy and tube stoma formation between 2005 and 2017 was performed. Tube stoma complications were analysed. The investigation focused on stricture, skin lesion, enteric fistula and prolapse.
Results: Thirty-seven neonates underwent tube stoma fashioning during the study period. Tube-stoma complications were limited to three patients (8.1%), with two children (5.4%) requiring additional stoma surgery during the first 30 days because of an enterocutaneous fistula, and one child (2.7%) for bowel stenosis.
Conclusions: In select neonates, such as those with proximal enteric stomas, the tube stoma avoids some of the commonly encountered complications (prolapse, skin excoriation). Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings in order for us to recommend this technique as superior.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.

Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious postoperative issue that is hard to prevent and diagnose, leading to high rates of illness and death.
- A new method called interior/exterior collaboration-enhanced intestinal anastomosis (IECIA) uses a hydrogel barrier on the inside and an external protective safeguard to significantly reduce the risk of leakage.
- This system has shown promising results in studies, offering better recovery for gastrointestinal functions and being biocompatible and easy to use in surgical operations, making it a valuable option for clinical application.

Article Synopsis
- Chyme reinfusion therapy (CRT) is a safe technique that enhances nutrition and intestinal health in neonates with stomas, though it’s underused, especially for those with congenital bowel issues or necrotizing enterocolitis.
- A study over ten years at two children's hospitals in New Zealand found that nearly half of the eligible neonates received CRT, leading to improved weight gain, while noting various complications, particularly non-infectious ones.
- Despite the effectiveness of CRT, there's a significant rate of complications (like skin irritation and stoma prolapse), indicating a need for increased awareness and implementation of this therapy in clinical practice for neonates with intestinal failure.
