objectives were to investigate the relations between associated anomalies and ARM types, timing of reconstructive surgery. Subjects data collectionARM patients under 18 years age treated in one ARM-Net Consortium registered registry until 1 March 2023 included.Each centre has a lead paediatric surgeon who is responsible for patient registration collection at their respective centre.Patient are de-identified pseudonymized before collection.Surgeons can only re-identify own with personal...
In Brief Objective: To analyze whether breast-conserving therapy (BCT) may be an oncologically safe approach and result in a good cosmesis patients with centrally located breast cancer (CLBC). Summary Background Data: Only underpowered, retrospective, single-arm studies have suggested that oncoplastic BCT for CLBC cosmesis. Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed the overall recurrence-free survival 1485 undergoing comparing non-CLBC. Moreover, described 4 different techniques compared...
Objective cosmetic analysis is important to evaluate the outcome after breast surgery or radiotherapy. For this purpose, we aimed improve our recently developed objective scoring software, Breast Analyzing Tool (BAT®).A questionnaire about factors for symmetry was handed out ten experts (surgeons) and eight non-experts (students). Using these factors, first-generation BAT® software formula has been modified index (BSI) from 129 women calculated by first author with new formula. The resulting...
To assess the clinical feasibility and validity of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction to locate, classify quantify diaphragmatic defects in congenital hernia (CDH).This retrospective study included 46 cases CDH which underwent a total 69 MRI scans (65 in-vivo four postmortem) at Medical University Vienna during period 1 January 2002 2017. Scans were performed between 16 38 gestational weeks using steady-state free precession, T2-weighted...
IntroductionIn patients with anorectal malformations (ARM), the sacral ratio (SR) serves as an established predictive marker for functional prognosis and is derived from conventional radiographs. More recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged a diagnostic alternative preoperative/baseline assessment of ARM. With this study we aimed to evaluate if SR could be reliable measured MRI images it correlated measurements obtained radiographs.MethodsTwo raters analyzed data radiographs...
An anorectal malformation (ARM) is a congenital that requires surgical correction. To acquire the skills needed to perform this complex procedure, an affordable simulation model has previously been developed and validated. The aim of study evaluate suitability ARM (with perineal fistula) for training in hands-on workshops. consists wooden casing with disposable body. Participants several international pediatric colorectal workshops 2019 2020 were asked participate. They divided target group...
Soiling and fecal incontinence are troubling complications which can occur after a pull-through for Hirschsprung disease. They usually be improved with proper medical management, but in some cases the result of an anatomic defect related to overstretching sphincters and/or damage anal canal. For such patients treatment this true is limited structured bowel management program ante- or retrograde enemas achieve social continence. Herein we report two overstretched loss dentate line initial...
To assess the number, characteristics, and functional short-, midterm outcomes of patients with rectal atresia (RA) stenosis (RS) in ARM-Net registry.Patients RA/RS were retrieved from registry. Patient associated anomalies, surgical approach, bowel at 1 5-year follow-up assessed.The registry included 2619 patients, whom 36 (1.3%) had RA/RS. Median age was 7.0 years (IQR 2.3-9.0). Twenty-three (63.9%, RA n = 13, RS 10) additional anomalies. PSARP most performed reconstructive surgery for...
The objective of this study was to analyze the feasibility and acceptance a non-invasive, daily proactive screening program for SARS-CoV-2 infection employing serial saliva testing, in combination with digital questionnaire among healthcare providers (HCPs) multi-professional setting.This prospective cohort involving HCPs from different units at single tertiary care center, over pilot phase 4 weeks during first wave COVID-19 pandemic April 18th June 6th, 2020.Pediatric patient units,...
Shifting the training from operating room (OR) to simulation models has been proven effective in enhancing patient safety and reducing learning time achieve competency increase operative efficiency. Currently field of pediatric surgery only offers few low-cost trainers for specialized these feature predominantly artificial often unrealistic tissue. The aim this study was develop an easy access tissue-realistic model open esophageal atresia evaluate acceptance trainees junior surgeons.The is...
For the classification of complexity cloacal malformations and decision on operative approach, an exact anatomical assessment is mandatory. To benefit from using three-dimensional (3D)-printed models in preoperative planning training, practicability these should be guaranteed. The aim this study was to evaluate quality feasibility a real-size 3D-printed cloaca model for purpose cysto-vaginoscopic evaluation. We performed 3D reconstruction printed real-size, rubber-like infant pelvis with...
Introduction: Training in laparoscopic surgery seems to be an important aspect gaining and maintaining professional competency. In experimental settings, camera navigation skills improved after simulation-based training, but the effect of work on surgeon's performance is not well studied. The aim this study was investigate whether a fixed or operated camera, as experience operator has surgeon. Materials Methods: performed LapSim training system. task tie intracorporal knot static surgical...
The correction of an anorectal malformation (ARM) is complex and relatively infrequent. Simulation training subsequent assessment may result in better clinical outcomes. Assessment can be done using a competency tool (CAT). This study aims to develop validate CAT for the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) on simulation model. CAT-PSARP was developed after consultation with experts field. PSARP divided into five steps, while tissue instrument handling were scored separately....
Introduction Anorectal malformations (ARM) affect 1 in 5,000 newborns with a wide range of defects. In the absence visible fistula, diagnosis and classification ARM require an augmented pressure distal colostogram. This procedure can be done after diverting colostomy has been performed implies exposing child to radiation. We hypothesized that high-resolution transperineal ultrasound could correctly diagnose type ARM, thus sparing radiation exposure. Case Description Four full-term male no...
