Quote from "Pediatric Surgery (Springer Surgery Atlas)" by Prem Puri, Michael E. Höllwarth -
"The ischaemic insult also adversely influences the structure and subsequent function of the remaining bowel. Histological and histochemical abnormalities can be observed up to 20 cm cephalad from the end of the atretic proximal segment. The distal bowel is unused and potentially normal in function."
