January 29Jan 29 quote from "Pediatric Surgery (Springer Surgery Atlas)" by Prem Puri, Michael E. Höllwarth -"These lesions are best resected within the first 24 h after birth, because the gut is usually not colonized in the first 24 h, reducing the risk of infection if the field is contaminated by stool during the resection. Perioperative antibiotics are given immediately before surgery commences and continued for 24–48 h postoperatively."
