Abstract
The course of 18 infants following resection of 5-67 cm. of small intestine for obstruction during the neonatal period is described. Five died during the post-operative period and two from pulmonary infection, associated with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, later. Eleven survivors have been followed to date. The long-term prognosis following resection of the small bowel during the neonatal period is good, and no worse after a long than a short resection.Keywords
