ABSTRACT Objective Fetoscopy for closure of open neural tube defects (NTD) remains controversial, as the use patches or single‐layer is not considered to meet standards good neurosurgical reconstruction. In this study, we describe a fetoscopic two‐layer (myofascial and skin) technique treatment NTD in five patients report preliminary anatomical outcome at birth. Methods From February September 2017, pregnant women with fetus NTD, including three cases myelomeningocele two myelocele, were...
Prenatal myelomeningocele repair by open surgery can improve the neurological prognosis of children with this condition. A shift towards a fetoscopic approach seems to reduce maternal risks and obstetric outcomes.The aim study was report on anaesthetic management women undergoing prenatal or for neural tube defects.A retrospective cohort study.Prenatal research group, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Spain.Intra-uterine foetal repairs spina bifida between 2011 2016 were reviewed....
Primary abdominal wall closure after pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) is neither always possible nor advisable, given the graft-recipient size discrepancy and its potential large-for-size scenario. Our objective was to report experience accumulated with delayed sequential (DSC) guided by Doppler ultrasound control.Retrospective analysis of DSC performed from 2013 March 2020.Twenty-seven (26.5%) were identified out 102 PLT. Transplant indications type grafts similar among both groups. In...
This study aimed to report our experience with the use of Sirolimus (SRL) in pediatric liver transplant patients chronic rejection or steroid-resistant hepatic fibrosis, focusing on their histological evolution. All recipients who received off-label treatment SRL for ductopenic cortico-resistant between July 2003 and 2022 were included study. nine showed improvement enzymes cholestasis parameters as soon 1-month after post-SRL introduction. A decrease fibrosis stage was observed 7/9 (77.7%)...
Background: Laparoscopy is widely accepted for the surgical treatment of benign ovarian lesions in adult women, with results similar to an open approach when spillage avoided by different means such as endobag retrieval. This controversial children. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study (2009-2018) all pediatric tumors histological confirmation treated a tertiary center. Data regarding preoperative selection criteria, technique, follow-up were registered. was used only without malignant...
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between different degrees of bowel intraluminal echogenicity showed by prenatal ultrasounds and anatomic level intestinal atresia.Methods: We report three cases atresia at levels verified during neonatal surgery with specific ultrasonographic features. Intensity sonolucency was analyzed using image-processing program ImageJ for quantitative measurements based on gray-scale intensity values.Results: A total are reported, a jejunal, an ileal colonic...
Abstract Background Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is becoming an increasingly widespread technique; there still controversy about its indication in certain patients. Our objective to analyze if potential risk factors such as major congenital heart disease (CHD) or low birth weight (LBW) are a limitation this approach. Methods Retrospective study (2017–2021) patients EA and distal TEF who underwent thoracoscopic were included. Patients...
Abstract Introduction The primary aim of the study was to identify risk factors associated with fetal or neonatal loss, morbidity, and need for surgery in fetuses diagnosed an abdominal cyst. secondary compare characteristics cyst according trimester at diagnosis. Material methods This observational retrospective performed Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. included pregnant women aged 18 years older diagnosis a from 2008 2021. Results A total 82 median gestational age 31+1 weeks (12+0–39+4)...
Abstract Introduction Repair of large congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDHs) is challenging. As primary repair not always feasible, patches are commonly used. An alternative treatment split abdominal wall muscle flap repair, which uses vascularized autologous tissue. The aim this study was to analyze the long-term outcome CDH defects undergoing repair. Materials and Methods This a retrospective review (2003–2016) treated by Results In total 107 patients, technique used in 10 (9.3%); 7 had...
