Even though enterostomy in neonates is widely used in the treatment of congenital and acquired pathology, there is still no generally accepted tactics for stoma formation, prevention of associated complications, and the timing and method of stoma closure. Existing publications are few, prospective multicenter studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are practically absent in Russia. The purpose of this review is to search for relevant publications on surgical treatment and complications in neonates with small-bowel stomas over the last 20 years. Study articles were identified through a search of the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, Elibrary, and CyberLeninka electronic databases.
