Case-matched Comparison of Outcomes Following Neonatal Mucous Fistula Refeeding: 13-year Institutional Review

Abstract

Refeeding ostomy effluent into the residual bowel via the mucus fistula (MFR) has been associated with decreased parenteral nutrition needs and decreased cholestasis. However, MFR is also associated with risks and the literature is not definitive. We performed a case matched comparison of neonates treated with and without MFR.
