    Infants surviving necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) require ongoing monitoring for gastrointestinal issues. Healing can cause intestinal strictures, leading to complications like cecal stenosis, necessitating careful surgical reestablishment of bowel continuity.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe condition in premature infants.
    • Healing of ischemic bowel segments in NEC survivors can lead to intestinal strictures.

    Observation:

    • An asymptomatic cecal stenosis was discovered during surgery for intestinal continuity reestablishment.
    • This stenosis was not detectable via barium enema.

    Findings:

    • Intestinal strictures are a potential complication in infants recovering from NEC.
    • Undetected stenosis can occur even after surgical intervention for bowel continuity.

    Implications:

    • Continued surveillance for mechanical and functional gastrointestinal abnormalities is crucial for NEC survivors.

  • Surgeons must ensure complete patency of the intestinal lumen distal to the ostomy site during reestablishment of continuity.
