    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Intestinal atresia is a congenital obstruction of the small intestine.
    • This study analyzes a cohort of 45 intestinal atresia patients.
    • Jejunal atresia cases pose the most complex surgical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review surgical management strategies for intestinal atresia.
    • To identify factors influencing outcomes in intestinal atresia patients.
    • To highlight specific challenges in jejunal atresia management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 45 intestinal atresia patients.
    • Categorization of atresia by location (duodenal, jejunal, ileal).
    • Evaluation of intraoperative and postoperative management protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality rate was 22% (10 patients).
    • Jejunal atresia patients exhibited complex gastrointestinal lesions and multiple atresias.
    • Duodenal atresia patients had a higher incidence of other congenital anomalies, including Down's syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative strategies include grouping multiple atresias, resecting dilated loops, and using end-to-end anastomoses.
    • Postoperative care emphasizes early intravenous nutrition and re-exploration for persistent obstruction.
    • Specific techniques like the shish kebab method are considered for complex cases.
