Between May 1994 and June 1995, nine newborns underwent surgery due to mechanical ileus or intrauterine perforation of the small bowel. Three were very-low-birth-weight infants weighing between 520 and 1,200 g. Surgery was performed in the first 2 days of life and split ileo- or jejunostomas were implanted. Early oral nutrition was initiated. To avoid non-use of the distal bowel and shortbowel syndrome, the aboral stoma was irrigated a few days later with the proximal feces. A new technique was applied to transport the chyle continuously from the oral to the aboral stoma: the stool was collected in an especially constructed stoma bag and transported distally by a roller pump. No major complications were seen. The general outcome was excellent in all cases, and reanastomosis under optimal bowel conditions was achieved in all patients without further problems.
