The experience of 34 cases of congenital atresia and stenosis of the small intestine during the past 14 years was reviewed. The result was analyzed regarding the aspect of pathologic findings, operative procedure, associated anomalies, and survival rate. An adequate resection of the dilated proximal segment contributed to an improvement of survival rate in atresia of the jejunum and ileum. The most common cause of death was respiratory disorders. Thus, it was demonstrated that respiratory care was the most important factor to achieve better survival rate.
