Surgical conditions of the neonatal intestinal tract.
Many different pathophysiologic conditions can affect the neonatal intestinal tract and ultimately require surgical intervention. The symptomatology is primarily that of bowel dysfunction and obstruction. A thorough understanding of these disease processes is necessary of the managing physician. With this knowledge, a systematic course of resuscitation, evaluation, and treatment can be instituted, usually with predictably gratifying results for patient, family, and physician alike.
