title: T-tube drainage for the treatment of high jejunal atresia.
abstract: Since 1976, the authors have used T-tube drainage for the treatment of diaphragmatic type, high jejunal atresia. Twelve cases were operated on. All cases survived the operation. On the fourteenth to thirtieth postoperative day, T-tubes were removed when the dilated proximal intestine returned to normal size.
