  1. OVERVIEW OF NEONATAL SURGERY ANNE ASPIN 2010

  2. Gastroschisis • Defect lies to right of umbilicus • Central abdominal wall defect • No sac

  3. Embryology • 6TH Week intestine grows rapidly • Rotates and inverts by 10th week • Liver, bladder, stomach • Can be caused by vascular accident.

  4. Incidence • Omphalocele 1 :4000 • Gastroschisis 1:6000 – 10,000 • Increasing over last 30 years • Common in young mums, <20yrs.

  5. Associated anomalies • Gastro-intestinal tract, atresia,stenosis • Duplication cysts.

  6. Feeding problems • Gastro-oesophageal reflux • Vomiting • Poor weight gain • Colic • Fractious, fussy, crying • Irregular bowel actions

  7. NEC What is it? • Infection of the mucosal lining of the bowel • Lactobacilli • Clostridium • Unknown

  8. Who does it effect? • Maternal factors • prematurity • Hypoxic episodes • Cardiac anomaly • Exchange transfusion • Umbilical line near mesenteric artery • High osmolarity feeding • Increasing feeds quickly

  9. Signs and symptoms • Change in behaviour • Subtle signs • Lethargy • Increasing naso-gastric aspirates • Labile temperature, labile blood sugars • Vomiting, bile later • Blood in stools • Abdominal distension

  10. Later • Mottled, grey, capillary refill <4 secs • Apnoeic • Bradycardia • Oxygen requirement • Abdominal tenderness • Oedema • Dilated abdominal veins, dilated loops of bowel • Flare around umbilicus

  11. Even later • Thrombocytopenia • Raised CRP • Pneumoperitoneum • Collapse, ventilation • Abdominal drain • Surgery, stoma’s • Short bowel

  12. What to do • Large ng tube, aspirate and free drainage • Nil by mouth • IVI, Antibiotics • Blood sugar monitoring • Sepsis screen. Blood gas, FBC, U/E’s, Blood cultures • Urine MC/S, CXR, AXR

  13. Types of oesophageal atresia and fistula 86% 7% 4%

  14. Types continued 1% <1 <1

  15. History • First case recorded Durston (1670) • Gibson (1697) first recorded with fistula • Ladd (1939) first staged repair • Height (1941) first successful primary repair.

  16. Survival • Survival rate of around 90% • Incidence 1: 4500 • Antenatal diagnosis – polyhydramnios and absent stomach 56% predictive of OA.

  17. After birth • Large NG tube • CXR, AXR • Replogle tube, 10 min suction to pharynx

  18. Associated anomalies • 50% associated anomalies • Cardiac 29% • Vertebral, Anorectal, Cardiac, Tracheo, Oesophageal, Renal, Limb

  19. Table 1 • Cardiovascular 29% • Gastro intestinal (anorectal 14%) 27% • Genito urinary 13% • Vertebral and skeletal 10% • Respiratory 6% • Genetic 4%

  20. Primary repair • Paralyse and ventilate 5 days post op • Long gap – gastrostomy and assessment of gap, may leave 6 – 12 weeks before primary closure. • Gap of more than 6-8 vertebrae, oesophageal replacement

  21. Post operation- early complications • Anastomotic leak , 27%, 24 – 72hrs • Anastomotic stricture • Recurrent tracheo oesophageal fistula

  22. Late complications • Tracheomalacia • Gastro oesophageal reflux • Respiratory problems • Motility disorders • Growth

  23. Short Bowel Syndrome

  24. Definition • Rickham (1967) – an extensive resection to maximum of 75cm • Kuffer (1972) – 15cm with ileocaecal valve - 38cm without ileocaecal valve • Dorney (1985) – 11cm with I/C valve or 25cm without I/C valve

  25. Introduction • Most common cause of intestinal failure. • NEC, Congenital atresia, Gastroschisis and volvulus. • Promote adaptive response through enteral feeding and careful management of TPN.

  26. What is SBS • Reduced bowel surface area for absorption of nutrients together with rapid transit of intestinal contents. • TPN reduced as enteral feeds are introduced. • Need to promote intestinal adaptation.

  27. Motility • The IC valve and colon is important to slow intestinal transit. • Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates are absorbed almost completely within first 150cm of small bowel.

  28. After resection. • Increase gastric emptying. • Ileal resection, increased transit time • An intact IC valve prolongs gut transit, loss of this causes an increase. • If colon resected transit increases.

  29. How does the bowel adapt? • Cellular hyperplasia • Villous hypertrophy • Intestinal lengthening • Altered motility • Hormonal changes • Takes approx 2 years to reach max effect.

  30. Central line complications • Infection • Thrombosis • Break in catheter • Air embolus • Tissue necrosis • Malposition • Cardiac tamponade

  31. It takes approximately two years to achieve some normal diet

  32. Gastroschisis • NEC • Bowel atresia, stenosis, web, duplication cyst • Meconium ileus • Jejunostomy, ileostomy, colostomy.

  33. Bowel atresia, stenosis, web, duplication cyst • Interruption in the bowel • Effects motility • Adhesive bowel obstruction • Nil by mouth again

  34. Meconium ileus • Thick, sticky meconium, secretions • Perforation or not (Ileum) • Stoma • Absorption, enzymes, EBM

  35. Jejunostomy • High stoma • Trophic feeding, EBM, Donor EBM • Electrolytes • Six weeks reversal

  36. Ileostomy • High or low • Milk • Stomal diarrhoea • Electrolytes • Prolapse, inversion, sore, thrush • Failure to thrive

  37. Colostomy • Milk • Prolapse, inversion, soreness, • Diarrhoea • Constipation • Electrolytes

  38. Important issues • Temperature • Fluid and electrolytes • Glucose • Management of reflux • Speech and language therapy • family

  39. Management of gastro- oesophageal reflux • Thick n easy, Thix od • Gaviscon • Erythromycin • Domperidone • Ranitidine • Omeprazole
