Abstract

From 1977 to 1982 ileocecal resection was done in five neonates admitted to our pediatric surgical units. The growth and development of these infants were examined and comparisons were made with age matched controls. Two who had undergone ileocecal resections had a slight diarrhea. Physical examination, hematology and blood chemistry, including serum levels of rapid turnover proteins, were all within the normal ranges. Significant differences between data on these patients and the controls were not noted. Our findings indicate that ileocecal resection with less extensive ileal resection can be done in neonates as an adequate nutrition is physiologically feasible.
