Congenital intestinal atresia is a serious congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, and the only treatment for this type of child after birth is surgery, which is the only way to save the child’s life. The choice of surgery is based on the location of the atresia, the degree of atresia and the type of atresia. In the case of septal atresia, a diaphragmatic resection of the intestinal wall can be performed. If the location of the septum is near the duodenal papilla, a short-circuit procedure avoiding the septum can be performed. If the atresia occurs in the colon, many children will require a colostomy and then a second stage of surgery to return the colon after a period of development. If the atresia is in the jejunum or ileum, reanastomosis of the intestinal canal is generally required. In more serious complications, such as perforation of the atretic intestine or diffuse peritonitis, sometimes a colostomy cannot be performed and a fistula is required.
