LOYOLA-NIETO, Paula; MARQUEZ-GONZALEZ, Horacio; BARAJAS-NAVA, Leticia A. y NIETO-ZERMENO, Jaime. Peritoneal drainage versus laparotomy for perforated necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm low birth weight infants. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2021, vol.78, n.4, pp.331-334. Epub 23-Ago-2021. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.20000358.
Necrotizing enterocolitis is common in preterm newborns, with consequent intestinal perforation. The standard treatment for intestinal perforation is surgery. However, it is suggested that inserting a drain into the abdomen may be effective in treating this condition. This document summarizes the results of a Cochrane systematic review comparing the effectiveness of peritoneal drainage with laparotomy in neonates with perforated necrotizing enterocolitis.
