The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Introduction. Prolonged fasting is a major concern in the postoperative management of congenital duodenal obstruction. Massive dilatation of the proximal segment would lead to diameter discrepancy and lack of propulsion, thus delaying enteral feeding. A transanastomotic feeding tube is an option to deliver early enteral feeding after surgical correction. The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a transanastomotic feeding tubes in the surgical management of congenital duodenal obstruction.

Method. The transanastomotic feeding tube's effectiveness in cases of congenital duodenal obstruction of the newborn underwent surgical correction was evaluated. Those managed from January 2016 to December 2018 at …
