The recurrence, satisfaction, and complication rates in pediatric age groups were evaluated with the surgical matrixectomy application of the Winograd technique, a frequently used one in adult age groups. Materials and Methods: Ingrown toenail cases that had undergone surgical matrixectomy with the Winograd technique between September 2016 and December 2018 were evaluated. Those detected to be stage 2-3 according to the Heifetz classification were operated on. Demographic information was recorded. The cases were divided into three groups as 3-7, 7-12, and ≥12 years as age groups. Such data as recurrence, post-operative infection, osteomyelitis, long term complication and return to regular activity were evaluated. The visual analog scale was used for the satisfaction scale. Results: A total of 162 operated ingrown toenails from 142 children were followed for an average of 21 months (12-38). The mean age of patients was 13.8 years. When the ingrown toenail location was evaluated, the lateral sides (98, 61.2%) of the patients were seen to have been affected more. According to age groups, 65% (105) of the cases were in the group aged 12 years and over. While the frequency of all complications was 8.1% (13), no chronic complications or osteomyelitis were encountered. Recurrence was observed in 3.1% of cases and also early infection (<15 days) was observed in 10 cases, while late infection (<15 day) was observed in 3 cases. According to the visual analog scale scores, 135 (95.0%) cases were found to be satisfactory or very satisfactory. Conclusion: The Winograd technique (surgical matrixectomy) has low recurrence, low complication and high satisfaction rates in all pediatric age groups even with advanced ingrown toenail complaints. Complete excision of the affected matrix with magnification increases the success of the Winograd technique.","PeriodicalId":42409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"139-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41568577","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}

Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty-five cases which were referred between January 2017 and July 2019 were included in the study. Results: Fourty eight of 135 cases (35.6%) were diagnosed as CH. The mean onset of treatment was 17.31±9.92 days. Clinical findings suggesting hypothyroidism were detected in 27 patients (56.2%) and goiter was detected in 2 patients (4.1%). According to imaging findings, 16 (35.5%) patients were diagnosed as dysgenesis, [1 (2.2%) as agenesia, 3 (6.7%) as ectopia, and 12 (26.6%) as hypoplasia], 11 were diagnosed as dyshormonogenesis (24.5%), and 18 were diagnosed as eutopic thyroid (40%). The mean levothyroxine dose was 12.7±2.5 mcg/kg/day and the mean onset of treatment in 30.4% of diagnosed patients was within the first 14 days and 93.3% were within the first 30 days. Conclusion: Dysgenesis and dyshormonogenesis are the most common detectable causes of CH. The normal localization of the thyroid gland in about half of the patients suggests that transient causes of CH may be more common than expected. Considering that only 1/3 of the patients were treated in the first 2 weeks, it was thought that the referral of patients is still an important problem and it should be done more promptly.","PeriodicalId":42409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47512528","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}

This term describes a broad spectrum of liver disorders, ranging from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Its estimated prevalence ranges from 3% to 12% in the general pediatric population and up to 70% in obese children (2). Suspicion of liver steatosis is usually based on imaging studies a characteristic, hyperechogenic picture of the liver in abdominal ultrasound is the most commonly used mode of assessment.
