Drenaje peritoneal versus laparotomía como abordaje para enterocolitis necrosante perforada en recién nacidos pretérmino de bajo peso

Necrotizing enterocolitis is common in preterm newborns, with consequent intestinal perforation. The standard treatment for intestinal perforation is surgery. However, it is suggested that inserting a drain into the abdomen may be effective in treating this condition. This document summarizes the results of a Cochrane systematic review comparing the effectiveness of peritoneal drainage with laparotomy in neonates with perforated necrotizing enterocolitis.
