Treatment outcomes have been measured in terms of survival time, but they also significantly impact survivors’ quality of life. The pediatric differentiated thyroid carcinoma survivors’ QoL has rarely been evaluated. This study aims to translate and validate the Indonesian version of the ThYCA-QoL questionnaire. The median age of 105 eligible survivors was 20.88 years old. Eighty percent of the survivors were female, were married or in a relationship (86.7%), and had paid jobs or were full-time students (71.7%). The median follow-up time was 64.82 months. Cronbach-α co-efficient was > 0.70 for psychological, concentration, throat, and mouth problems. For sympathetic, neuromuscular, voice, and sensory, the scores were < 0.70, where a multi-trait scaling analysis showed that all item correlations were > 0.40. Validity was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient for y-QoL with r > 0.60 and p < 0.01. The Indonesian ThYCA-QoL questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool to evaluate pediatric patients’ QoL after treatment. This simple assessment tool can be used to evaluate and manage pediatric thyroid cancer patients’ HRQoL.","PeriodicalId":43372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Surgery","volume":"565 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138574726","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}

It is a retrospective chart review of all children with non-hypertrophic gastric outlet obstruction presenting to three hospitals in northwest Syria during the period 2019–2023. Demographics, presentation, and management data were extracted. Twelve cases were identified, eight males, with age range 1–12 years and follow-up range 3–42 months. Eight patients had a history drinking battery acid and one with ingestion of high-dose ibuprofen. The other three had no clear aetiology. Five patients improved by endoscopic balloon dilatations (EBD), and seven needed surgeries. All those who had successful EBD were treated within 3 weeks of ingestion. Non-hypertrophic GOO in children is rare and mostly related to caustic material ingestion. Treatment by endoscopic balloon dilatation is likely to be successful if done within 3 weeks from caustic ingestion. After that period, often surgery is needed.","PeriodicalId":43372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Surgery","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138568884","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}

Fifty-five percent (n = 11) of the neonates in this cohort were male, and 16 were term with birth weight above 2.5 kg. Thirteen were below 1 week of age and all maternal ages were less than 40 years. Pneumoperitoneum was the most common finding on erect abdominal X-ray and colon was the frequent site of perforation. Forty percent of the babies in this cohort had blood group O+. Fifty-five percent of our patients died before discharge. Outcomes for neonatal bowel perforations are still dismal.

Due to its nonspecific symptoms and the small size of the fistula in infancy, H-type tracheoesophageal fistula is rarely diagnosed in the neonatal period and is also challenging to repair. We report a rare case of double H-type tracheoesophageal fistula in a 2-day-old newborn, identified with a time-lapse and repaired separately. The diagnosis was established through repeated bronchoscopy, with methylene blue injected through an esophagoscope. A right thoracotomy was performed to undertake the surgical repair after cannulating the fistula with a vascular guide wire. Five months later, the infant, who had a history of recurrent episodes of coughing and shortness of breath, was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress, and a second TEF was detected by bronchoscopy. A cervical incision was used to repair the second H-type fistula. Double H-type tracheoesophageal fistula should be considered while correcting a tracheoesophageal fistula, especially if the symptoms continue after the first operation. Repeated radiological contrast studies and bronchoscopy with methylene blue injected through an esophagoscope help the early diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":43372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Surgery","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138536043","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}

Fibroma in neonates and infants has been reported in different body parts but not in the bile duct. We report a 2-month-old girl with common bile duct (CBD) fibroma. A 2-month-old girl presented with jaundice and pale stool for 15 days. Her perinatal period was uneventful. On examination, we found the girl deeply icteric and having hepatomegaly but no palpable lump. Laboratory investigations revealed direct hyperbilirubinemia with elevated liver enzymes. Ultrasonography revealed hepatomegaly with focal dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct (2.1 × 0.5 cm). Our preliminary diagnosis was a type I choledochal cyst. Considering the clinical scenario, we planned for exploration without further imaging. On exploration, we found the liver blackish and a hard mass involving the common CBD and cystic duct. The gall bladder was filled with clear mucus. After excising the mass, the gall bladder, and CBD, we reconstructed the anatomy with Roux-N-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The postoperative period was uneventful except for minor bile leakage during the first four postoperative days, which stopped spontaneously. Histopathology revealed spindle-shaped fibrous tissue admixed with collagenous tissue, compatible with a fibroma. A liver biopsy showed the features of cirrhosis. However, liver function tests were normal 2 weeks after surgery. The baby was thriving at 6 months of follow-up, hepatomegaly was resolved, and there was no clinical or radiological sign of recurrence. CBD fibroma is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice in neonates and infants. The earliest possible excision of the tumor and bile drainage restoration are necessary to halt the progression of liver damage.","PeriodicalId":43372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Surgery","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138536055","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}

Epigastric heteropagus is the most frequent type, in which a smaller dependent (parasite twin) is attached to the body of the host (autosite twin) to the thorax and umbilicus. Several congenital anomalies have been previously described in the host twin. We describe the first case of epigastric heteropagus twinning with dextrocardia and situs inversus in which a successful surgical separation is performed. Case presentation A 48-h-old female sex twins were presented to Bahawal Victoria Hospital. A careful anatomic study using contrast X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and echocardiogram showed epigastric heteropagus twinning and situs inversus in autosite twin. A successful surgical separation was performed, and the parasite twin was removed from the body of the autosite twin. Conclusions Antepartum screening detects congenital malformations; however, several pregnancies are unsupervised in underdeveloped countries. In the case of heteropagus twinning, careful surgical separation in the absence of complications leads to the favorable survival of the autosite twin.","PeriodicalId":43372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Surgery","volume":"81 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134900998","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 incidence is rising with the increasing pollution. During the last 50 years, developments in surgical instrumentation and optical systems allowed surgeons to increasingly undertake microsurgical procedures. Optical magnification is essential in pediatric surgery. Magnifying loupes are the most frequently used, although they often cause neck pain to the surgeon. Recent advances led to the development of a compact video microscope (VITOM; Karl Storz Endoscopy GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) that displays high-definition magnified images on a flat screen. Objective Evaluate VITOM as a potential substitute for loupes in complex open pediatric procedures and explore VITOM as an effective intraoperative teaching modality for open surgery. Methods Fifty-two patients enrolled in our study were divided into two groups: Group A (26): high magnification was used either (VITOM Karl Storz Endoscopy GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) or (Surgical microscope, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH), along with microsurgical instruments. Vicryl 8-0 suture was used for urethroplasty. Group B (26): patients were operated upon by conventional instruments (fine tip but not microsurgical instruments), sutures, and magnification (3.5×). Vicryl 6-0 suture was used for urethroplasty, with loupes-assisted magnification. Results More complications were found in group B. Using VITOM was accompanied by less neck pain, enhanced visualization, and an enhanced teaching environment. Conclusion Operating with high magnification tools minimizes post-operative complications in hypospadias surgery. They enhanced identification of the penile anatomy and topography which facilitated reconstruction techniques as well as enhanced the comfort of the surgeon.
