Abstract
Intestinal atresia constitutes one of the most frequent causes of intestinal obstruction in the newborn and it is caused by delayed mesenteric vascular catastrophes during embryonic development; nevertheless, it may have other causes. Atresia type IIIb is rare and its management is a challenge for all of the members of the medical team.
This type of atresia continues being of difficult management, and needs a complete multidisciplinary equipment in order to attain good results: firstly, to ensure the survival of the child and subsequently; to achieve normal growth and development. The surgical technique includes endto-end anastomoses and, in complications like those presented in this case, we place YV shaped plasty and making an intestinal splint with a fenestrated probe in order to protect the anastomosis, maintaining bowel decompressed and distally-permeable.
