In this study, we analyzed the cases of pediatric inguinal hernia with/without preoperative USG and discussed whether USG is necessary. Methods: We reviewed medical records of 1,441 patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair in Seoul National University Children’s Hospital between January 2011 and August 2016 retrospectively. Results: Male were 69.3% and age at operation was 37.8±36.5 months old. There were 150 patients (10.4%) performed USG preoperatively. The department ordered to perform USG included department of surgery (n=71), emergency medicine (n=42), pediatrics (n=26), urology (n=10) and outside hospital (n=1). The reasons of performing USG included evaluation for hernia laterality (n=82), incarceration (n=28), testis (n=15), request of parents (n=14), scrotal mass (n=6) and incidentally found during evaluation for another disease (n=5). Excepting 5 cases of incidental finding, of 145 cases with USG, 12 (8.3%) cases changed the surgical plan; change to bilateral repair from unilateral repair (n=5), emergency operation due to incarceration (n=4) which include 1 salpingo-oophorectomy, 1 open abdomen surgery and 2 hernia repair after reduction of ovary, change to co-operation of orchiopexy (n=2) and change to laparoscopic surgery from open surgery due to herniation of both ovaries into one inguinal canal (n=1). In group without USG (n=1,291), 5 patients (0.4%) had unexpected problems during operation; 2 co-operation of orchiopexy because of transverse testicular ectopia (n=1) and right undescended testis (n=1), 2 hypertrophy of major labia and 1 retroperitoneal lymphangioma at inguinal area misdiagnosed as inguinal hernia. Conclusion: It was difficult to interpret the meaning of preoperative USG because not all patients had performed it. In this study, 10.4% of patients performed USG and 8.3% of them changed surgical plan. About 0.4% of patients without preoperative USG would have benefited from it for surgery if they had performed it. Since the percentage is too low, it is unreasonable to conclude that USG has diagnostic utility in inguinal hernia in this study.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115987962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to report clinical outcomes of Santulli enterostomy and to evaluate its usefulness. Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2016, 40 neonates who underwent Santulli enterostomy were enrolled; Santulli enterostomies were performed for 25 patients without previous laparotomy (primary Santulli group) and 15 patients with previous laparotomy (secondary Santulli group). Results: Small bowel atresia is the first common indication of Santulli enterostomy (22/40, 55.0%), and luminal discrepancy between proximal and distal bowel was the most common determinant factor of Santulli enterostomy (17/40, 42.5%). The median age at surgery and mean birth weight were 2 days and 2,480 g respectively in the primary group, and 71 days, 2,340 g respectively in the secondary group. Operation time was significantly longer in the secondary group than the primary group (156±48 minutes vs. 224±95 minutes, p=0.019), and there was no difference in the time taken to initiation of oral feeding between the two groups. Santulli enterostomy closure was performed at median 65 days after Santulli enterostomy for primary group and 70 days for secondary group. Six complications (15.0%) were found after Santulli enterostomy, and nine complications (24.3%) after Santulli enterostomy closure (p=0.302). The incidence of complications was significantly higher in secondary group than in primary group (4.5% vs. 53.3%, p=0.001), and the reoperation rate was also significantly higher in the secondary group (4.5% vs. 46.7%, p=0.004). Conclusion: Santulli enterostomy could be applied as a temporary enterostomy in neonatal patients with various surgical abdominal diseases. Considering the high complication rate after secondary Santulli enterostomy closure, decision making on the timing of enterostomy closure should be done with caution.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131202323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So he went through explorative laparotomy, and transverse colonic adhesion and twisting around the gastrostomy tube and gastric wall was identified. Adhesiolysis and resection with redundant transverse colon and end-to-end colocolic anastomosis was performed. He discharged with symptom free. Suspecting transverse colonic volvulus is important when the patient has anatomical anomalies and feeding gastrostomy tube. Timely diagnosis with proper radiologic imaging should be made.

Symptoms begin at the weaning period and the introduction of solid food around 6 months with dysphagia and vomiting. Esophagography is first screening test and endoscopic ultrasonography plays important roles to diagnose subtypes deciding therapeutic plan.

Complete excision of LM is difficult to achieve in some cases. We reviewed our experience how to manage LM. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who were treated for LM between 2010 and 2017. Medical records were reviewed about age of diagnosis, age of treatment age, gender, symptom, location of tumor, treatment modality, response and complication. Results: Sixty-three patients (39 boys and 24 girls) were included. Mean age at diagnosis was 14.5±28.0 months (range, neonate-10 years). The involved lesion were head and neck in 27 patients (42.9%), abdominal cavity in 7 patients (11.1%), chest wall and abdominal wall in 11 patients (17.5%), buttock in 7 patients (11.1%), and extremities in 11 patients (17.5%). The treatment options were including surgical resection in 32 patients, sclerotherapy in 7 patients, surgical resection combined sclerotherapy in 19 patients, and close observation in 5 patients. We achieved complete remission in 39 patients. Fourteen patients showed partial remission and 6 showed recurrences. Conclusion: Despite surgical difficulty, meticulous excision with supportive treatment, and adjuvant sclerotherapy could get a favorable outcome without fatal complication.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LH) for small babies in corrected age 3 months compared with the traditional open inguinal hernia repair (OH). Methods: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed in 232 pediatric patients under corrected age 3 months who underwent inguinal hernia repair from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. The chi-squared and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the results of the study. Results: As for operative time, in unilateral/bilateral inguinal hernia repair, OH is faster than LH (p<0.05 vs. p=0.06). But operation time gap is shorter in bilateral hernia than unilateral hernia. As for operation site, bilateral inguinal hernia case was more performed in LH than OH (p<0.05). For comparison with the spontaneous breathing recovery time, there was no statistical difference between the two techniques (p=0.96). As for the recurrence rate, no significant difference was observed between the two techniques (p=0.36), whereas the relative risk of recurrence was higher for OH compared with LH (OR=1.56).

In this study, we reviewed its clinical manifestations, outcomes, and discussed the etiology and prognostic factors. Methods: There were 12 neonates with gastric perforation in our hospital from 1989 to 2015. Their medical records were reviewed retro-spectively including birth record, associated disease, site and size of perforation, type of surgical management, clinical outcome. Also, the prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: The median gestational age and birth weight was 32 weeks (range, 26-43 weeks; preterm birth rate, 66.7%) and 1,883 g (range, 470-4,400 g), respectively. Five patients had associated gastrointestinal anomalies including esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (two patients), midgut volvulus, non-rotation and microcolon, and meconium plug syndrome. The median age at surgery was six days after birth (range, 2-13 days), and the median weight at surgery was 1,620 g (range, 510-3,240 g). Upper third part of stomach was the most frequently involved location of perforation. The size of perforation varied from pin point to involving the whole greater curvature. Primary repairs were done in seven cases, and in five cases, resections of necrotic portion were needed. Mortality rate was 33.3% (n=4), morbidity (re-operation) rate was 16.7% (n=2). The causes of death were sepsis (n=3), and heart failure from Ebstein anomaly (n=1). The median hospital stay was 92.5 days (range, 1-176 days). The factors mentioned as prognostic factors in previous studies showed no significant relations to the mortality and morbidity in our study. Conclusion: There were improvements of outcomes in patients with large size perforation. As previous studies, we assume these improvements were possible due to the improvements of critical care medicine. Given that rare incidence, a multi-center study can help us get a better understanding of this disease, and a better outcome.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123247237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
