  • Title: Ileocecal valve atresia: introduction of a new surgical approach.
    Author: Mousavi SA, Sarparast L.
    Journal: Afr J Paediatr Surg; 2014; 11(1):77-8. PubMed ID: 24647302.
    Abstract:
    Ileocecal valve atresia is a very rare anomaly with only a few cases reported in the literature. The conventional therapy includes ileocecal resection and ileocolic anastomosis. Here, we present a patient with inborn ileocecal valve atresia in whom we successfully preserved the ileocecal valve and the terminal ileum through opening a valve and tapering the ileum in one operation.
