Surgical resection was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was MANEC. There were no postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged from the hospital 10 days after surgery. He is presently undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. We reviewed historical MANEC cases published in the English literature. We concluded that pathological analysis of a surgically resected specimen is necessary for an accurate diagnosis of MANEC, and that publication of more cases is needed to determine the optimal management strategy for MANEC.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131328206","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}

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patient treated for ileo-colic intussusception between January 2003 and December 2014. We exclude the patients who had leading point. Because of the large difference on patient’s numbers between non-operative group (cases of ileo-colic intussusceptions successfully reduced by air reduction) and operative group (cases underwent operation due to failed air reduction), we compared the data of operative group of patients without leading point between 2003 and 2014 with the data of non-operative group as control group from 2013 to 2014. Clinical features such as gender, age, body temperature, body weight in diagnosis, growth curves for age-gender-body weight, and laboratory data of blood test were compared. Results: In non-operative group, total 94 patients who were treated successfully by the non-operative air reduction. In operative group, total 21 patients treated by surgical procedure. The age under 12 months, weight over upper 75 percentile group, increased segment neutrophil count, decreased hemoglobin level and lymphocyte count were significantly associated with a requirement for surgical procedure. Conclusion: We conclude that younger age, higher weight percentile group, increased segment neutrophil, decreased hemoglobin and lymphocyte are the independent risk factors related to operative treatment for ileo-colic intussusception in children. If primary air reduction is failed in patients with such risk factors, operative treatment over ultrasonography or secondary reduction can prevent unnecessary effort and complications, thus emphasizing the consideration of operative treatment when selecting treatment methods.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134109413","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}

Treatment of the malformation consists of surgery and sclerotherapy. However, the optimal approach is still controversial. Here, we describe a series of cervical lymphangiomas which have been treated with surgical approaches. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 82 patients who had been diagnosed with cervicofacial lymphangioma from 2001 to 2012 in our center. A closed suction drainage with negative pressure was placed on the operative lesion following excision to prevent reaccumulation of lymphatic fluid and the drainage tube was removed after injecting OK-432 through the tube. Results: Twelve patients underwent surgical excision of cervical lymphangioma. The median patient age was 3 months at the time of the operation. The patients have been followed-up over a period of 34 months. When lesions were located near vital organs such as the trachea or carotid artery or did not respond to repetitive OK-432 injections, surgical treatment might bring good outcomes. However, swallowing difficulty, lip palsy, or dyslalia due to adjacent nerve damage temporarily appeared as postoperative complications. Five children had tracheostomy due to tracheal or subglottic stenosis and 2 patients had gastrostomy due to aspiration while they eat after surgery. Conclusion: Surgery for cervicofacial lymphangioma should be conducted carefully in selective cases. A well thought-out surgical plan with a multidisciplinary surgical team approach and placement of closed suction drainage tube after surgery and adjuvant OK-432 sclerotherapy through drainage tube seem to be helpful for good outcome.","PeriodicalId":164943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134310691","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}

Methods: We reviewed the hospital records and medical costs of the pediatric patients who were managed for perforated appendicitis between April 2013 and May 2014 retrospectively. Results: Forty-six patients with laparoscopic appendectomy for perforated appendicitis were included in our study. PT group was 20 and CM group was 26 patients.

At postoperative third, fifth, and seventh day of each regimen, PT group have no statistical difference with CM group in leukocyte count, percentage of neutrophil, and CRP.
