title: [Preventive operations in intestinal abnormalities].
abstract: In intestinal anomalies, preventive surgical procedures include gastrostomies and enterostomies as well as some special operations such as ligature of the cardia and associated appendectomies. General indications for enterostomies are seen in life-threatening circumstances, i.e. prematurity, surfactant deficiency, major associated malformations and complications. Preventive surgical procedures are necessary in certain cases of esophageal atresia, complicated small bowel atresia, meconium ileus, anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung disease, neuronal intestinal dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis. Prophylactic surgery requires detailed knowledge of the definitive therapeutic procedure.
