Abstract Introduction Our aim is to compare thoracoscopy thoracotomy in the treatment of congenital lung malformations (CLM) children. Materials and Methods We report a retrospective monocentric cohort study. Patients treated at our Center for CLM (1991–2020) were divided two groups: patients with video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) open (OT). Characteristics groups compared through statistical analysis (GraphPad Prism7). A p value less than .05 was considered statistically...
Abstract Purpose Few guidelines exist for the perioperative management (PM) of neonates with surgical conditions (SC). This study examined current neonatal PM in Italy . Methods We invited 51 intensive care units pediatric surgery their institution to participate a web-based survey. The themes included (1) involvement neonatologist during PM; (2) spread bedside (BS); (3) critical issues concerning operating rooms (OR) and actions aimed at improving PM. Results Response rate was 82.4%. is...
Background: Many prognostic factors for CDH patients are described and validated in the current literature: size of diaphragmatic defects, need patch repair, pulmonary hypertension left ventricular dysfunction recognized as most influencing outcomes. The aim this study is to analyze influence these parameters outcome our department identify any further factors. Methods: An observational retrospective single-center was conducted including all treated at centre with posterolateral between...
Extraperitoneal approach is sometimes recommended for kidney transplantation (KT) in children weighting <15 kg. We hypothesized that this might be as successful patients with normal weight. Data of all consecutive KTs performed between 2013 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Early outcomes surgical complications compared weighing ≤15 kg (low-weight (LW) group) those >15 (Normal-weight (NW) group). All the 108 through an extraperitoneal approach. The LW group included 31 (mean age 3.5 ±...
Objectives: One lung ventilation (OLV) is the preferred technique for thoracoscopy as it provides a better exposure of operative field and grants protection healthy lung. Preoperative evaluation exclusion necessary different methods are available. In recent years ultrasound (US) gained popularity its use monitoring endotracheal tube position widely reported. The existing evidence on adults addresses US effective, yet only few data available in children. Therefore, we present our experience...
Pediatric robotic-assisted surgeries have increased in recent years; however, guidance documents are still lacking. This study aimed to develop evidence-based recommendations, or best practice statements when evidence is lacking inadequate, assist surgical teams internationally.A joint consensus taskforce of anesthesiologists and surgeons from the Italian Society Neonatal Anesthesia Intensive Care (SARNePI) Surgery (SICP) identified critical areas reviewed available evidence. The comprised...
Background: Little is known about the surgical conditions affecting pediatric population in low-income countries. In this article we describe epidemiology of diseases observed Mutoyi hospital, a first-level hospital Burundi. Methods and Findings: We retrospectively reviewed records all children (0–14 years) admitted to Surgery ward from January 2017 December 2017. also patients Neonatology among them selected ones which diagnosis was present. Five hundred twenty-eight were during study...
Gas embolism is a possible complication during head and neck surgery laparoscopic procedures. We are presenting our experience of young girl who underwent biopsy the hepatic hilum lymph-nodes for suspected lymphoma recurrence. Due to her previous clinical history, patient carried central venous catheter (CVC). After 20 min from beginning procedure, symptoms were noticed: resuscitation maneuvers immediately performed foamy blood was aspirated CVC. stabilized, procedure converted into...
BACKGROUND Anal canal duplications (ACD) are rare in children older than 2 years old. While some patients asymptomatic, others have a variety of nonspecific symptoms. The definitive treatment is surgical removal, but the best technique varies with each case based on local situation and location lesion. CASE REPORT We present cases anal pediatric patients. Despite atypical presentations concomitant cystic, high suspicion ACD led to management using different techniques its situation. first...
Since many years, feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery in infants with pulmonary malformations has been confirmed. Nevertheless, present some problems caused by the anatomical physiological peculiarities typical age size structures. Several ways to overcome these difficulties have proposed assure efficacy mono ventilation.
The use of the Da Vinci Xi system is gaining popularity among all surgical disciplines. A splenectomy a treatment option for patients with hematological disorders and splenic lesions. laparoscopic approach nowadays standard care. Despite initial controversy, recently it has been demonstrated superiority robotic performed in "difficult" cases. We report, to our knowledge, first case robot-assisted following embolization artery 15-year-old patient chronic immune thrombocytopenia, worsened by...
Background: Tunneled central venous catheters (CVC) are crucial in the management of children affected by short bowel syndrome (SBS). This work aims to investigate outcomes tunneled CVC and identify factors influencing their survival. Methods: All diagnosed with SBS undergone a procedure insertion from 2010 2019 were included. Demographic data surgical information about procedures collected. Regression models Kaplan–Meier analysis performed estimate Results: Eighteen patients, eight males...
The MicroWave Ablation (MWA) is a mini-invasive technique, based on dielectric heating, used to treat small hepatic tumors or liver metastases in the adult population. heat-energy delivered target area, causing tumor necrosis, usually under ultrasound computed tomography guidance. This procedure can be performed as pure percutaneous with laparoscopic assistance. A US-guided microwave ablation of pancreatoblastoma metastasis was an 11-year old girl. standard three-port technique used: camera...
Allograft venous thrombosis is a severe complication after kidney transplantation (KT). Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial in preserving the survival of allograft. In this study, we aimed to describe an emergent strategy for management acute allograft thrombosis.A 4-year-old girl, weighing 13.5 kg, was diagnosed with bilateral congenital renal hypodysplasia, urogenital sinus anorectal malformation. The patient referred our department living-donor KT. Her mother eligible as...
Abstract Purpose Non-operative treatment (NOT) for pediatric acute appendicitis complicated with intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) has been introduced in the last decade. The study aimed to report our experience this approach and investigate potential predictors of success. Methods Medical records patients affected by IAA between January 2013 December 2020 were reviewed. interval before delayed appendectomy, rate re-admission appendectomy endpoints NOT. outcomes compared treated NOT who...
The circumcision is the most frequent procedure in paediatric surgery worldwide, performed for medical and ritual purposes. In developing countries, because of difficult accessibility to healthcare, even a common could be unsafe.
