If you suspect that your child may have intestinal atresia or intestinal web, make an appointment with an Orlando Health pediatrician today so your child can start on the road to improved health.
In many cases, intestinal atresia or intestinal web may be diagnosed before birth on a prenatal (during pregnancy) ultrasound. If your OBGYN suspects your baby may have intestinal atresia or web once your baby is born, their team may order one or more of the following tests:
If your baby has intestinal atresia or web, they will need surgery shortly after birth. During the procedure, your baby will be under general anesthesia. In other words, they will be asleep for the procedure. Their surgeon will remove the intestines' blockage and restore intestinal continuity (intestines that would not be functional). After surgery, most babies will temporarily stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to recover and ensure their intestines are working properly. This may take several weeks.
While your baby is recovering from surgery, they will need intravenous (IV) feeding. Once your child’s intestines are functioning normally, you can begin feeding breast milk or formula. Your baby’s care team will provide specific instructions and support for this process.
If you suspect that your child may have intestinal atresia or intestinal web, make an appointment with an Orlando Health pediatrician today so your child can start on the road to improved health.
