Neonatal NEC is also known as necrotizing small bowel colitis of the newborn. If the condition is mild, it can usually be cured with conservative treatment. However, if the condition is severe, conservative treatment cannot achieve the desired results.
If neonatal necrotizing small bowel colitis is mild, it can be treated conservatively. Common methods include gastrointestinal decompression, medication, supportive therapy and so on. Generally speaking, as long as actively accept treatment, mild neonatal necrotizing small bowel colitis can be cured.
Secondly, if the condition is more serious and intestinal perforation has already occurred, it needs to be treated by abdominal drainage, caesarean section, perforated part of the intestinal anastomosis and other surgeries. However, it should be noted that the survival rate after surgical treatment remains relatively low, so it is important to take good postoperative care.
Neonatal necrotizing small bowel colitis is a serious disease, so it should be treated as early as possible to try to prevent the condition from continuing to deteriorate.
