Abstract
Diagnostic laparoscopy can be safely performed in extremely low-birth weight infants. It allows precise identification of the site of perforation to perform a limited microlaparotomy at this site, significantly reducing the surgical trauma of extensive bowel handling. We report a novel method of managing this vexing problem.
