The meconium disease represents a problem of great impact over the vital prognosis of the newborn, the mortality of this disease being rated in various studies between 30 and 50%. The meconial disease that reunites the meconial ileus and the meconial peritonitis is often associated with cystic fibrosis a disease of general impact over the entire organism increasing the gravity and influencing the vital prognosis of these patients. The authors' purpose is to evaluate the results obtained after the treatment of the meconial disease in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of the Emergency Hospital of Craiova over a period of 10 years. The study has been made on a number of 16 cases of meconial ileus, plug and peritonitis analising the difficulty of the diagnostic process, the preoperative care as well as the possibilities of surgical treatment. The surgical treatment is composed of multiple procedures including simple suture of the bowel defect and segmentary bowel resections with primary anastomosis and/or secondary anastomosis after ileostoma. The mortality on the studied cases was of 37.5% despite recent progresses achieved in postoperative care of these type of patients.
