Abstract

Introduction. Conducting reconstructive surgery in children, especially those with low body weight, associated with an increase in the operation time and a worsening of the postoperative period. Therefore, to reduce the operation time, surgical clinics in developed countries of the world use linear staplers for anastomoses in children, especially young children. Case report. A premature newborn, with a birth weight of 1420 g, was diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis, with ileal perforation and diffuse peritonitis. According to vital indications, the operation was performed: laparotomy, revision of the abdominal cavity, Mikulich enterostomy. After complete stabilization of the general condition of the child, upon reaching 2550 g of body weight, at the age of 2 months, enterostomy closure was performed with the imposition of a stapled side-to-side functional end-to-end ileoileostomy. In 14 days after the operation, the child achieved full enteral autonomy. There were no postoperative surgical complications. In the late postoperative period, the child gains weight well, grows and develops according to age. Conclusion. The use of linear staplers in time of enteroanastomoses creation can significantly reduce operation time in children, in particular, premature babies with low body weight. Level of evidence. Level V.
