Early recognition of this disease, maintenance of fluid balance and proper dialysis seems to prevent acute mortality. A 23-month-old boy was admitted with abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea and fever. On hospital day (HD) #2, he developed aggravated abdominal pain compared to the initial assessment. Contrast abdominal computed tomography demonstrated findings suggestive acute appendicitis so the patient was underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. On HD #3 and #4, his laboratory findings showed marked thrombocytopenia and serum creatinine elevation. He was transferred to another hospital for dialysis with the impression of acute renal failure. Later, verotoxinproducing Escherichia coli, which is one of the most common causes of HUS, was detected on his initial stool examination. HUS can present with prodromal gastrointestinal symptoms mimicking acute abdomen. So even if the patient is primarily diagnosed acute abdomen in the initial setting, clinicians should always keep in mind of other fatal conditions disease, such as HUS. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of acute appendicitis followed by HUS in South Korea.","PeriodicalId":246042,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Pediatric Surgery","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115784782","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: In a single medical center, patients younger than 18 years who were diagnosed with appendicitis: 1) with abdominal pain not exceeding 24 hours, 2) without radiologic evidence of appendicolith or appendiceal perforation or pelvic abscess, and 3) without signs of frank generalized peritonitis were offered NOTA, and their data were prospectively collected. Results: Twenty-two patients with uncomplicated appendicitis agreed to NOTA and were enrolled in the study. The initial success rate (resolution of abdominal pain and hospital discharge without appendectomy) was 100% (22 out of 22 patients). At a median follow-up period of 23.8 months, two patients had recurrence at two and three months after completion of NOTA. These patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. Conclusion: Stringent patient selection may be necessary to apply NOTA safely for all children with uncomplicated appendicitis. Further studies concerning patient selection and conformed treatment protocols for NOTA are required.","PeriodicalId":246042,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Pediatric Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124571948","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}

Sul","doi":"10.13029/aps.2021.27.2.37","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.13029/aps.2021.27.2.37","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The purpose of the article was to review the thirteen years of experience and evaluate the usefulness of open inguinal hernia repair (OIHR) with transinguinal laparoscopic exploration of contralateral groin (TILE), the prevalence of contralateral patent processus vaginalis (CPPV), and the incidence of metachronous inguinal hernia after negative laparoscopic examination in pediatric patients with unilateral inguinal hernia. Methods: We analyzed data from children aged 15 years and younger who underwent inguinal hernia repair between 2007 and 2019. We performed an OIHR with TILE to assess the contralateral groin, and TILE was accomplished via ipsilateral hernia sac. We collected the medical records and analyzed demographics, operation-related information, including the prevalence of CPPV and the incidence of metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia (MCIH). Results: Of the 1,702 patients with unilateral inguinal hernia, 440 patients (25.9%) had CPPV. The risk factors of CPPV were younger age, female, and left inguinal hernia. The operation results of OIHR with TILE, such as postoperative pain, cosmetic results, recurrence rate, and recovery time was similar to other reports, including open and laparoscopic repair, if not better than LIHR. There were no complications associated with transinguinal laparoscopic exploration. Also, 28 patients (2.2%) with obliterated PV still developed an MCIH later. Conclusion: OIHR with TILE is valuable and safe to detect CPPV in the laparoscopic era. There has been some development (2.2%) of MCIH after negative laparoscopic exploration, which suggested that even though PPV is a significant risk factor for developing a pediatric inguinal hernia, other factors also might be involved in the pathophysiology of pediatric inguinal hernia. OIHR with TILE may be a good surgical option because it compensate for the weakness of OIHR alone and has some advantages of LIHR alone. Two methods can also complement each other and might be tailored to the particular needs of individual patients.","PeriodicalId":246042,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Pediatric Surgery","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126358343","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}
