to study the effect of early vs delayed enteral feeding following ASARP in females with congenital recto-vestibular fistula
Full description
congenital Recto vestibular fistula represents the commonest type of anorectal malformation in females. The treatment of this anomaly is mainly approached either through anterior or posterior sagittal ano-rectoplasty approach. Several perioperative factors may affect the outcome. One of major postoperative complications is the occurrence of wound infection.
Purpose: we aimed to study the effect of delayed vs early postoperative enteral feeding on the occurrence of postoperative wound infection and dehiscence.
Patients and methods:
A prospective randomized trial included 55 infants with recto-vestibular fistula. All infants were managed by single stage anterior sagittal anorectoplasty at an age ≥ 3 months. Patients were divided into two groups. group A included infants who started oral intake on the 5th postoperative day and group B included infants who started oral intake on the 2nd postoperative day. The primary outcome was the onset of perineal wound infection. Group A infants were kept on peripheral parenteral nutrition during fasting period.
