The aim of our study was to investigate if MV and SV can be differentiated by clinical course, intraoperative findings, and postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods\u2003Using a defined search strategy, two investigators independently identified all studies comparing MV and SV in neonates. PRISMA guidelines were followed, and a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Of 1,026 abstracts screened, 104 full-text articles were analyzed, and 3 comparative studies were selected (112 patients). There were no differences in gestational age (37 vs. 36 weeks), birth weight (2,989 vs. 2,712\u2009g), and age at presentation (6.9 vs. 3.8 days). SV was more commonly associated with abnormal findings on fetal ultrasound (US; 65 vs. 11.6%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001). Preoperatively, SV was more commonly associated with abdominal distension (32 vs. 77%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), whereas MV with a whirlpool sign on ultrasound (57 vs. 3%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Bilious vomiting had similar incidence in both (88\u2009\u00b1\u20094% vs. 50\u2009\u00b1\u20095%). Intraoperatively, SV had a higher incidence of intestinal atresia (2 vs. 19%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and need for bowel resection (13 vs. 91%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001). There were no differences in postoperative complications (13% MV vs. 14% SV), short bowel syndrome (15% MV vs. 0% SV; data available only from one study), and mortality (12% MV vs. 2% SV).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Our study highlights the paucity of studies on SV in neonates. Nonetheless, our meta-analysis clearly indicates that SV is an entity on its own with distinct clinical features and intraoperative findings that are different from MV. SV should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in all term and preterm babies with bilious vomiting after MV was ruled out\u2014especially if abnormal fetal US and abdominal distension is present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1772173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T19:16:48Z","timestamp":1691781408000},"page":"009-019","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Neonatal Intestinal Segmental Volvulus: What Are the Differences with Midgut Volvulus?"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Casalino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Enrica","family":"Miscia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery Unit, University Gabriele d'Annunzio of Chieti Pescara Department of Medicine and Aging Science, Pescara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Lauriti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Santo Spirito Hospital, University Gabriele d'Annunzio of Chieti and Pescara Department of Medicine and Aging Science, Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Estelle","family":"Gauda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Augusto","family":"Zani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General and Thoracic Surgery, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elke","family":"Zani-Ruttenstock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General and Thoracic Surgery, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Volvulus.
