Does measuring matter? Abdominal girth changes and the need to operate in necrotizing enterocolitis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Open

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease of prematurity resulting in surgery for approximately 30% of patients. Trends in abdominal distention can assist decision-making. There is no defined abdominal girth change that predicts need for surgery. The aim of this study was to determine any relationship between girth change and surgery for NEC.

Intestinal atresia is one of the most common causes of bowel obstruction in newborns. Unfortunately, this diagnosis is often missed or delayed in extremely preterm infants because of complications of prematurity including feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis. Here we report 2 cases of jejunoileal atresia in extremely preterm infants who were diagnosed beyond 30 days of age. Case 1 had jejunoileal atresia type IIIa, whereas case 2 had type IV jejunoileal atresia complicated by short bowel syndrome.

While many factors influence medical student career choice, interactions with attending and resident physicians during clinical rotations are particularly important. To evaluate the influence of attending and resident physicians on medical students' career choices, particularly for those pursuing surgical careers, we quantified their respective influence in the context of other known influences. Rising fourth-year medical students and new graduates were given an IRB-exempt, 14-item online survey.
