2014, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The data also carry implications regarding clinical investigations of these diseases. A number of studies have compared peritoneal drainage to laparotomy for perforated NEC [23–34], including a pair of small randomized controlled trials [31,35]. Based on these two studies, a Cochrane review found no significant benefits or harms of peritoneal drainage over laparotomy, though no firm recommendations could be made given the small sample size of the studies [36].
Spontaneous sealing of a neonatal intestinal perforation by the omentum
2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Some of these patients recovered quite well. Overtime, surgeons began placing peritoneal drains in patients for treatment of NEC or IP [5,6,8-22] though it was not until recently that peritoneal drains became widely accepted. Even with the expanded use of peritoneal drains, many patients were still subsequently having laparotomies after drain placement [9,21,22].
