Congenital intestinal atresia

Congenital intestinal atresia is a common gastrointestinal malformation that causes intestinal obstruction in neonates and seriously threatens the lives of sick children. In the early years, the case fatality rate was high. In the past 20 years, the advancement of etiology research, the improvement of diagnosis level, the improvement of technical operation, the good monitoring before and after surgery, especially the application of intravenous high nutrition, have significantly improved the survival rate. China Medical University reported that a total of 97 cases of intestinal atresia and 46 cases of intestinal stenosis were surgically treated from 1960 to 1985. The cure rate of intestinal atresia has reached 80% to 85% or more, and intestinal stenosis has reached 95% or more in the 1990s. The cure rate has improved significantly. .
