The main goal of prenatal diagnostics is to identify a risk group with a dilatation of the renal collecting system due to mechanical obstruction of the pelvic-ureteral segment. \u0000AIM: The aim of the study is to definition of a prenatal risk group with a high probability of early surgical intervention in the postnatal period based on an assessment of the predictor properties of the pelvis shape in hydronephrosis grade III. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective analysis of the results of prenatal ultrasound examination of 77 fetuses (82 renal units) with grade III hydronephrosis (SFU classification) was carried out. The anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis was measured in millimeters at the level of the kidney gate. With the ellipsoid shape of the pelvis, the compression ratio of the ellipse was calculated as the ratio of the small semi-axis of the ellipse to its large semi-axis. All parameters were recorded in the third trimester of pregnancy. The study included cases of hydronephrosis with parenchymal thickness not differing by more than two sigma deviations from the standard value. The first ultrasound examination in the postnatal period was performed during the first month of life and then at 3, 6 and 12 months. \u0000RESULTS: Prenatally, 57 kidneys had an elliptical pelvis and 25 funnel-shaped. The anteroposterior diameter of ellipsoid (16.5 [13; 20]) and funnel-shaped pelvis (15.0 [13; 17.8]) did not differ statistically significantly (p = 0.39). 36 (43.9%) patients were operated on, 29 of them were operated at the age of 13 months, due to the increase in APD from 17.56.0 to 27.98.2 (p = 0.001) and the transition of hydronephrosis to the IV degree by 1 month of life. The remaining 7 children had gradual progression of hydronephrosis and were operated at the age of 12 months and older. In 56.1%, resolution, regression or stabilization of hydronephrosis were noted during dynamic observation lasting 1 year. With a single-variant analysis, it was found that the configuration of the pelvis and the compression ratio of the ellipse statistically significantly correctly predicted the progression of hydronephrosis and the probability of surgery at 69.5% and 80.5%, respectively. At the same time, the compression ratio had a higher sensitivity and specificity. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Fetal hydronephrosis with a funnel-shaped configuration of the pelvis, has a functional nature and regresses after birth during the first year of life. The antenatal ellipsoid configuration of the pelvis, approaching the circumference, is a statistically significant predictor of surgical intervention due to the progression of hydronephrosis due to external causes of obstruction.","PeriodicalId":437552,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesia and Intensive Care","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132207200","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 physical status of the children corresponded to the III class according to the ASA classification. The patients were divided into two equal groups of 5 people: the 1st group included children who, for the purpose of postoperative analgesia at the end of the surgical intervention, underwent conduction anesthesia of the nose from three points according to Weisblat; the 2nd group (comparison group) is represented by patients in whom infraorbital anesthesia was used after surgery. Non-invasive monitoring of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate was carried out. The oxygen status was monitored by pulse oximetry. \u0000RESULTS: The data obtained from the analysis of hemodynamic parameters, pain assessment by VAS (Visual Analog Scale) testified to the effectiveness of pain relief in patients in the study groups. The main hemodynamic parameters and pain assessment data for the groups were similar to each other and were within the reference values.

The main method of treating patients with this pathology is endovascular shunt occlusion. However, in some cases, this method is ineffective. \u0000The article contains a description of six clinical examples of surgical treatment of congenital porto-systemic shunts in children. In the diagnosis of congenital portosystemic shunts, the leading role belongs to Doppler ultrasound, multislice computed tomography, and angiography. The indication for surgical treatment was the anatomical features of the shunt, which makes endovascular occlusion technically impossible. In one observation a wide Arantian duct was diagnosed, its open ligation was performed. In another case, the portal vein emptied directly into an aneurysmal dilatation, performed reconstructive plastic surgery on the vessels of the portal vein. In the next observation, a pronounced retrograde blood flow was determined along the dilated inferior mesenteric vein, blood was discharged through the sacral plexus into the internal iliac vein. The left internal iliac vein was isolated and ligated, the dysplastic inferior mesenteric vein was ligated and partially removed. In 2 patients, the portal vein flowed directly into the inferior vena cava in the area of aneurysmal expansion; an operation was performed - open ligation of the shunt. In one observation, a deep hypoplasia of the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein was diagnosed, and therefore the restoration of portal blood flow after the closure of the shunt is impossible. The child was sent to decide on a liver transplant. \u0000Conclusion. Each case of congenital porto-caval shunts is unique.

Treatment of this defect is currently surgical. Orchiopexy is one of the frequent surgical aids in the practice of a pediatric surgeon and a pediatric urologist. The need for bilateral inguinal cryptorchidism to perform several incisions or separate operations on each side by time forces pediatric surgeons to continue searching for the optimal way to correct bilateral cryptorchidism. \u0000AIMS: To determine the possibilities of fixation of both testicles with bilateral cryptorchidism in a physiological position in the scrotum through a single surgical approach with fewer complications and improved cosmetic result in comparison with the previously proposed methods. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2012 to 2021, we treated 92 male children with bilateral inguinal cryptorchidism. All boys underwent the developed method of single-stage transcrotal bilateral orchiopexy, accompanied, if necessary, by laparoscopic assistance using the method of single-acar laparoscopic access. \u0000RESULTS: The results of treatment of 92 children with bilateral inguinal cryptorchidism (184 gonads) in several clinics using this method are presented. Thanks to the improvement of the technology of orchiopexy in the form of single-acar laparoscopic assistance in cases that do not allow the testicle to be freely lowered into the scrotum, the number of complications associated with surgical access, such as pronounced postoperative edema and inflammation of the postoperative wound area, decreased to 1.62% of cases, and there were no relapses of the disease and persistent inguinal hernias. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The article describes a new method of single-stage transcrotal orchiopexy with laparoscopic assistance and statistically substantiates its use in bilateral inguinal cryptorchidism, which allows fixing both testicles in a physiological position in the scrotum at any position of the testicles in the inguinal region with fewer complications and improved cosmetic result in comparison with the previously proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":437552,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesia and Intensive Care","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130622148","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}

Filatov Childrens Hospital has great experience in the surgical correction of pectus excavatum in children. For 22 years, 1000 minimally invasive repair procedures of pectus excavatum were performed in the thoracic surgery department. Despite the satisfactory and excellent outcomes of the surgical correction of pectus excavatum, the search for alternative nonsurgical methods of treating this pathology continues. In world practice, a vacuum bell is used as a conservative treatment. However, its effectiveness and indications are still in question. \u0000AIM: To evaluate the first experience of using a vacuum bell in the treatment of pectus excavatum in children. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A vacuum bell is a device consisting of sight glass, silicone ring, and manual pump, lifting chest wall deformities through a vacuum. The device is selected individually depending on the growth and shape of the ventral surface of the chest. According to instructions, the vacuum bell should be used a minimum of 1 h per day. All patients underwent a standardized assessment of the results of treatment every 36 months: measuring the depth of deformation, visual treatment control, analysis of photo documentation, and questionnaires. \u0000RESULTS: In the N.F.

Differences were recognized as statistically significant at p 0.05. \u0000RESULTS: The following predictors of postoperative complications were identified: penetrating Crohns disease with strictures (OR 5,1; 95% CI 1,7314,8; p = 0,0047), intestinal fistulas (OR 5; 95% CI 1,7314,8; р = 0,0047), fibrosis in intestinal mucosal biopsy (OR 8,9; 95% CI 1,2253; p = 0,0093), steroid therapy before surgery (OR 14,6; 95% CI 1,08135; р = 0,0105), onset of CD in 6 years of age (OR 10,8; 95% CI 1,16137; р = 0,0177), combination of CD of any localization with lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract (OR 13,8; 95% CI 1,01143; р = 0,0247), severe hypoalbuminemia (OR 9,62; 95% CI 1,04122; p = 0,0228) and no specific therapy for Crohns disease after surgery (OR 10,8; 95% CI 1,16137; p = 0,0177). \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The development of surgical strategy in the preoperative period based on the identification of reliable predictors of adverse outcomes helps reduce the risk of postoperative complications. This improves the early outcomes of surgical treatment of children with complicated forms of Crohns disease.","PeriodicalId":437552,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Anesthesia and Intensive Care","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133907951","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}
