Thoracoscopic approach for repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) has become a standard procedure in many pediatric surgical centers. surgery newborn is demanding from both the surgeon patient. The potential benefits are still discussed by neonatologists, intensive care physicians, also parents. aim our investigation was to clearly define perioperative outcome complication rates children undergoing thoracoscopic versus open EA TEF repair.We reviewed records 68...
Resection of a Wilms tumor extending through the inferior vena cava into right atrium represents challenge to pediatric surgeon. Exact preoperative diagnosis is essential identify and its intravascular extension. To achieve complete excision cardiopulmonary bypass hypothermia may be required. The feasibility resection important as it guides subsequent therapy such chemotherapy radiation.In order define these issues, we reviewed records 33 1,151. Patients enrolled in SIOP 93-01/GPOH Study...
Minimally invasive procedures are increasingly important in pediatric urology. However, experience is still limited with minimally operations on the upper urinary tract infants. We analyzed 3 (pyeloplasty, heminephroureterectomy and nephrectomy) children younger than 1 year.We 67 (mean +/- SD age 5.1 2.9 months) undergoing pyeloplasty 26 patients (group 1), 18 2) or nephrectomy 23 3) regard to technical aspects, surgical outcome complications. Preoperative postoperative ultrasound...
<b>Introduction</b> Management of appendicitis in children has changed remarkably over the last decade. The proven benefits laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) open operation have made LA increasingly popular for pediatric patients. To date, no national clinical practice guideline is available Germany and not standardized. Thus, aim our study was to evaluate current status Germany. <b>Materials Method</b>s An internet-based survey conducted on among all 98 registered surgical units Germany,...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) undergoing open versus minimally invasive surgery. Subjects and Methods: Patient records 33 children surgery for CDH between March 2002 September 2008 were reviewed. data compared regarding operating time, intraoperative maximum CO2 partial pressure (pCO2max) values, postoperative ventilation complications, recurrences. Results: Median age at time operation 4 days (range, 0–1017 days),...
Abstract It is difficult to predict the risk of mortality in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This study aimed at identifying factors for severe NEC (Bell stage III) and preterm children with NEC. In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed multiple data from 157 premature confirmed period January 2007 October 2018. We performed univariate, multivariate, stepwise logistic regression, receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analyses. were able demonstrate that low Apgar scores...
Bilateral nephroblastoma involving the renal hilus represents a significant surgical challenge. Different operative strategies have been proposed for this condition. We analyzed outcome of simultaneous bilateral partial nephrectomy complex stage V nephroblastoma.We retrospectively patients with operated on at our institution between 2002 and 2008. assessed patient data oncologic outcomes.We from 5 median age 27 months surgery (range 13 to 58). Two children had additional pulmonary...
Infection of newborn Balb/c-mice with Rhesus rotavirus (RRV) leads to cholestasis and biliary atresia. In this current model, Reovirus Type 3 was investigated ascertain whether causes the same or similar hepatobiliary lesions as RRV.Newborn were infected Dearing Abney on first day life. Clinical observation followed for a period at least 10 days. Cholestatic and/or dystrophic mice prepared specimens taken histological examination.Infection RRV showed 85 % morbidity atresia described before....
Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma is a rare variant of Wilms tumor, and might be confused with cystic nephroma. Definitive diagnosis can only made by histological examination. Therefore, initiation therapy, either primary nephrectomy or preoperative chemotherapy, create dilemma when radiological doubtful.To define treatment strategies for these entities, we reviewed the records 1,245 patients enrolled in SIOP (International Society Pediatric Oncology) trials 93-01 2001 GPOH...
Introduction: Various outcomes following transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT) in patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) have been reported. In this study, the postoperative course and functional outcome after TERPT 25 HD is evaluated.
Objective: Aim of the study was to evaluate outcome augmentation cystoplasty and bladder substitution in a pediatric age group.
For ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), the standard of surgical care is dismembered pyeloplasty. This applies both for intrinsic but also extrinsic etiology UPJO. When in 1995, Peters described first time laparoscopic pyeloplasty children, era pediatric urological surgery began. Nowadays, children has evolved to become gold standard. In this article, we report a standardized technique transperitoneal infants and children. The single steps procedure are reproducible regardless age...
