ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Neonates with severe neurological impairment are often unable to swallow, necessitating gastrostomy for feeding. Because of the risk of developing severe reflux, this procedure is often associated with fundoplication.

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the safety and efficacy of gastrostomy and Nissen fundoplication in 22 neonates with swallowing difficulties due to serious neurological impairment.

METHOD:

All children underwent an initial period of nasogastric feeding and after informed consent underwent gastrostomy and Nissen fundoplication.

RESULTS:

There were no significant intraoperative complications. There were two cases of postoperative periostomy leakage. Of the 22 neonates 16 were alive four months after surgery. Six neonates died of complications due to underlying disease.

CONCLUSION:

We concluded that gastrostomy and Nissen fundoplication are safe procedures and help parents give a better care to these children.
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

Neonatos com dano neurológico são freqüentemente incapazes de deglutir necessitando de gastrostomia para alimentação. Devido ao risco de refluxo grave, esse procedimento é associado à fundoplicatura.

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar a segurança e eficácia da gastrostomia com fundoplicatura Nissen em 22 neonatos com dificuldades de deglutição devido à lesão neurológica grave.

MÉTODO:

Todos os neonatos foram submetidos a um período inicial de alimentação por sonda nasogástrica e, após consentimento informado, foram submetidos a gastrostomia com fundoplicatura Nissen.

RESULTADOS:

Não houve complicações intra-operatórias significativas. Houve dois casos de vazamento pós-operatório da ostomia. Dos 22 neonatos, 16 estavam vivos 4 meses após a cirurgia. Seis neonatos morreram por complicações devido à doença de base.

CONCLUSÃO:

A gastrostomia com fundoplicatura Nissen é procedimento seguro e ajuda os pais a darem melhor cuidado a crianças com lesão neurológica.
