Staged Repair Using Modified Bishop-Koop Procedure in Complicated Congenital Colonic Atresia in a Neonate

Colonic atresia (CA) is the rarest type of intestinal atresia and is defined as an obstruction in the large intestinal lumen. This is a rare case presentation of a four-day-old full-term female patient presented with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Investigation revealed that she had complicated CA located in the splenic flexure. Laparotomy and colostomy were done on the patient. About two months later, she was admitted for stoma closure, which was converted to modified Bishop-Koop stoma. Lastly, the patient underwent a successful stoma closure. Upon one month of follow-up, the patient's condition has markedly improved and the wound healed well without any complications.
