2014, Seminars in Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :A strong predictor for the need for bowel resection was the decision to operate more than 2 days from time of admission. A total of 2 papers reported that 100% of their patients required surgical intervention.6,7 This may reflect the surgeons׳ personal practice rather than the natural history.
A case of intussusception with internal hernia after surgery for malrotation and duodenal atresia in an infant
2013, Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Most POIs occur within a month of the initial operation. Given that the risk for adhesive bowel obstruction after pediatric laparotomy performed for any reason is 5% (with 80% occurring within the first 2 years after laparotomy), it is estimated that POI accounts for 5%–10% of all postoperative small bowel obstruction in pediatric patients [1–5]. A relatively higher incidence of POI has been also reported after the Ladd procedure [6].
