Intestinal failure in neonatal and pediatric patients is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, most commonly caused by necrotising enterocolitis1, affecting 1 in 1,000 premature babies2.
Current management includes the formation of double enterostomy and patients will often present with high-output stoma losses resulting in dehydration and malnutrition and may require ongoing parenteral nutrition support.
Historically, the mortality rate of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is as high as 50%3, making it one of the leading causes of death in preterm infants and is associated with life long morbidity and reduced quality of life4
