    Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in neonates can lead to serious complications. This study highlights NEC

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Surgery
    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical gastrointestinal emergency in neonates.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving survival rates.
    • Complications such as perforation, obstruction, and strictures require specific interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of neonates with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC).
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of conservative and surgical management strategies.
    • To identify the incidence and management of long-term complications like colonic strictures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 54 neonates diagnosed with NEC.
    • Analysis of treatment approaches including conservative management, surgical exploration, and percutaneous catheter drainage.

  • Assessment of outcomes, mortality, and development of complications such as colonic strictures.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall mortality rate was 20.4% (11/54 neonates).
    • Surgical intervention was required for perforation or obstruction in 10 neonates.
    • Colonic strictures developed in 9 neonates, with 6 showing resolution after conservative treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) presents significant mortality and morbidity in neonates.
    • Management strategies vary based on clinical presentation, including surgery and conservative approaches.
    • Long-term surveillance is necessary to monitor for and manage complications like colonic strictures.
