Abstract

ABSTRACT. Thirty‐three severely mentally retarded children with profond malnutrition and aspiration pneumonitis were treated by gastrostomy and Nissen fundoplication. Early and late complications were 27.3% and 16.6% respectively. Mortality was 9.4%. All surviving patients gained weight. Time required for feeding was greatly, reduced. This study supports earlier operative intervention for the mentally retarded child with gastroesophageal reflux, malnutrition and aspiration pneumonitis.
