title: Serial transverse enteroplasty in intestinal atresia management.
abstract: In intestinal atresia, resection of the proximal dilated bowel segment, if long, might lead to bowel length compromise. Although tapering enteroplasty and plication are well described to avoid such a resection, the use of serial transverse enteroplasty is proposed here as an alternative in this situation.
