Neonatal gastric perforation, a rare condition, was diagnosed in five infants. Prompt surgical repair led to successful outcomes with no mortality or morbidity.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Pediatric gastroenterology
  • Surgical outcomes

Background:

  • Spontaneous gastric perforation is a rare but serious condition in neonates.
  • It presents with severe abdominal distention and pneumoperitoneum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the management and outcomes of neonatal gastric perforation.
  • To review the literature and discuss potential etiologies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of five neonates diagnosed with spontaneous gastric perforation between 1990-1997.
  • Surgical management involved prompt laparotomy and primary closure of the perforation with peritoneal drainage.

Main Results:

  • Five neonates diagnosed with spontaneous gastric perforation.

  • All perforations were located on the anterior wall of the greater curvature.
  • All patients underwent successful surgical repair with no mortality or morbidity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt surgical intervention, including laparotomy and primary closure, is effective for neonatal gastric perforation.
    • Peritoneal drainage is a crucial component of management.
    • Further research into the etiology of this condition is warranted.
