Abstrakt: Purpose: We aimed to compare the outcomes of primary anastomosis (PA) and enterostomy as treatments for intestinal atresia in neonates to identify the factors influencing the choice of modality.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-centre analysis of all neonates with intestinal atresia between 2000 and 2020 and measured the clinical outcomes. We performed logistic regression to identify factors that influenced the choice of surgical approach.
Results: Of 62 intestinal atresia neonates, 71% received PA. There were no significant differences in gestation, gender, age at operation, birth weight, or body weight at operation between the PA and enterostomy groups. PA reoperation was not required for 78% of patients, and the PA group had shorter hospital stays. Complications, operative time, duration on parenteral nutrition, time to full enteral feeding were comparable in both groups. Upon multivariate regression analysis, surgeons favoured PA in proximal atresia [Odds ratio (OR) 38.5, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 2.558-579] while enterostomy in smaller body size [OR 2.75, CI 0.538-14.02] and lower Apgar score [OR 1.1, CI 0.07-17.8]. Subgroup analysis in these patient groups demonstrated comparable outcomes with both surgical approaches.
Conclusion: Both surgical approaches achieved comparable outcomes, but PA was associated with short hospital stays and the avoidance of stoma-related complications, and reoperation was generally not required. This surgical approach was suitable for patients with proximal atresia, but enterostomy remained a sensible choice for patients with smaller body sizes and lower Apgar scores.
