What the experts said
A retrospective review by Men et al examined all patients who underwent conservative management of modified Bell stage 2A or greater NEC at a single institution from 2011 to 2022.
126 patients underwent conservative management of NEC in the study period.
24 of 126 patients (19%) who underwent conservative management of NEC eventually required surgery for a post-NEC stricture.
Primary resection and anastomosis was performed in all cases of post-NEC stricture requiring surgery.
Post-NEC strictures are a common occurrence after conservative management of NEC.
