What the experts said
A retrospective study was conducted in the Netherlands between 1998 and 2018 examining contrast enema use prior to stoma reversal.
The study included patients under three years old who underwent stoma reversal.
The study gathered 244 patients.
10% of patients developed strictures.
95% of patients with strictures had necrotizing enterocolitis.
Only 68% of all patients had a contrast enema prior to stoma reversal.
Contrast enema was able to detect 92% of strictures.
Contrast enema prior to stoma reversal is only useful if patients had necrotizing enterocolitis.
