Abstract Synopsis

  • Contrast enemas are mostly useful for detecting strictures in children treated for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) prior to stoma reversal, and their routine use in other cases may be unnecessary.
  • The study found that contrast enemas have very high diagnostic accuracy, with a sensitivity and specificity both around 98-100%, making them reliable for identifying strictures in NEC patients.
  • The recommendation is to perform contrast enemas only in children who have been treated for NEC, as they are the main group where strictures are detected and where the test is most effective.]
