• Surgical Procedure

  Once the child is stabilized, a surgical procedure is performed to bypass the obstruction. We performed the duodenojejunostomy anastomosis for the first sister and duodenoduodenostomy for the second sister. [saudisurgj.org]

  A single end-to-oblique anastomosis after adequate resection of dilated proximal bowel, was the preferred surgical procedure. In the absence of facilities for administering TPN, early oral/nasogastric (NG) tube feeding was encouraged. [jiaps.com]

• Failure to Thrive

  The clinical presentation is dependent on the severity of disease, and these patients have a history of intermittent emesis and failure to thrive. An upper GI series with small-bowel follow-through is indicated in these patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]
