ABSTRACT
We report a patient with combination of esophageal atresia, proximal tracheoesophageal fistula and meconium peritonitis. These two rare disorders have different etiology, pathogenetic mechanisms and require different diagnostic manipulations and surgical treatments. The authors discuss the features of diagnosis and surgical treatment of this disease.

The authors present diagnosis and treatment of two children with postoperative intussusception. A 6-month baby with retroperitoneal teratoma developed clinical signs of intestinal obstruction in 2 days after surgery. The child underwent redo laparotomy, and ileocecal intussusception was found. In the second case, a 6-month baby with choledochal cyst underwent laparotomy, cyst excision and Roux-en-Y-hepaticojejunostomy. Six days later, clinical deterioration with signs of bowel obstruction appeared. Redo laparotomy was performed for early adhesive ileus, and ileoileal intussusception was observed. In both cases, postoperative intussusception was diagnosed during relaparatomy that confirms the complexity of diagnosis.
