Laparoscopic Management of Small Intestinal Atresia George W. Holcomb, III, M.D., MBA Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City, MO
Duodenal Atresia/Stenosis • Most common site neonatal intestinal obstruction • Associated with Trisomy 21 and annular pancreas • Error in re-cannalization • 50% will have another organ system anomaly
Duodenal Atresia/Stenosis • Type 1 – 92% • intact mesentery; web b/w 2 segments • obstruction usually near ampulla
Duodenal Atresia/Stenosis • Diamond-shaped duodenoduodenostomy is the preferred technique
Laparoscopic Approach • Baby supine, foot of bed • Suture around falciform • Liver retraction • Umbilical port – telescope/camera • Working ports right side of abdomen
Laparoscopic Approach Use regular cautery with fine tip needle
Laparoscopic Approach U-clips (Medtronic) used for anastomosis
Concurrent Series2003 - 2006 • Retrospective study • 28 babies – 14 open, 14 laparoscopic • Open: 11 atresia, 3 stenoses • Laparoscopic: 12 atresia, 2 stenoses • No difference in age, weight, chromosomal anomalies, incidence of heart disease b/w 2 groups AAP, 2007
Concurrent Series2003 - 2006 AAP, 2007
Conclusions • Laparoscopic approach for duodenal atresia is safe and efficacious • Patients undergoing the laparoscopic approach had more rapid advancement of feedings and shorter hospitalization • Use of the U-clips allows for a faster operation if an interrupted suture technique is preferred
Jejunoileal Atresia • Due to late intrauterine mesenteric vascular accidents • More common than duodenal atresia (1/1000 live births) • Uncommon to have other anomalies
Jejunoileal Atresia • Diagnosis usually evident • More distal the obstruction, more distended loops of bowel • Contrast enema usually helpful
Minimally Invasive Management • Umbilical incision • Extend if necessary • Exteriorize bowel
Minimally Invasive Management • Extracorporeal anastomosis • RLQ or RUQ incision, if necessary
