About

RSS Feeds   Text 
The small bowel is the section of bowel between the stomach and the large bowel (colon). It is about 300cm long in a newborn baby at term and its function is to absorb food. An atresia is a gap in the bowel causing a complete blockage (obstruction) of the bowel. It occurs in about 1 in 5000 babies.
