Successful Treatment of Multiple Jejuno-Ileal Atresia by Four Primary Anastomosis and Trans Anastomotic Silastic Stents.

A case of multiple intestinal atresia is described. Dilatation of the bowel was observed at 19 weeks’ gestation during routine ultrasound scan. Regular scans were performed throughout the pregnancy and a simple bowel obstruction was suspected. The baby was delivered at 40 weeks’ gestation in good condition. The infant had feeding intolerance caused by small bowel obstruction but abdominal distension developed during the first day. At laparotomy, multiple intestinal atresia were found. The interpretation of successful traetmeent of multiple jejuno-ileal atersia and transanastomotic silastic stents are discussed.
