Abstract

The aim of the present study was to describe the physical and psychomotor development of infants following bowel resection surgery, and to determine the factors effecting psychomotor development post‑surgery. The present prospective descriptive study followed the development of infants who underwent bowel resection surgery prior to 3 months of age. The infants were monitored from 1 week to 6 months post‑surgery. The present study included 60 infants (58.3% males). Post‑operative intestinal failure occurred in 28.6% of the infants. Psychomotor delay was observed in 56.7% of the infants, primarily in gross motor skills. Developmental delay was more prevalent in infants with a small head circumference, and in those who were underweight and had intestinal failure (P<0.05). On the whole, the present study demonstrates that bowel resection surgery not only affects the physical growth of children, but may also affect their psychomotor development.
