General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hi,

The apple peel syndrome is a type IIIb intestine atresia disorder with highly compromised blood supply to narrow blind ended segments of the various intestine parts.

As it is a rare disorder, vomiting after the surgery is a matter of concern and must be addressed with gastro surgeon only.

The online consultation platform is not having sufficient tools to access such cases in true sense.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
