From 1969 to 1979, ventriculopleural shunts were inserted in 29 children with progressive hydrocephalus. A standard Pudenz pump a Raimondi catheter was used for all but 1 child whom Holter valve used.

Intestinal lymphangiectasia is a well-recognized complication of the Fontan procedure, occurring in up to 24% patients. Because loss chylous fluid into gut lumen, protein-losing enteropathy results as well lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinaemia. In some cases, dilated lymphatics intestinal serosa or mesentery also rupture, causing ascites. Standard medical cardiac surgical interventions are generally ineffective condition frequently lethal. We report case intractable life-threatening ascites...
Mediastinal infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria remain an exceedingly rare entity. Most cases in the published literature do not include pediatric patients. Due their clinical infrequency, poor response antimicrobial therapy and often precarious anatomical location, optimal management of these lesions can be challenging.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is a physiological problem in infancy that can become pathological and life-threatening certain cases. Fundoplication has been shown previously to be effective the control of this when medical therapy fails.A retrospective review hospital records Department Paediatric Surgery database was carried out, order demonstrate Prince Wales Children Hospital's (POWCH) experience with 106 fundoplications between February 1989 March 1993.There failure rate 7.5% long-term...

This study all patients with torsion who were admitted to The Prince Wales Children's Hospital, Hospital Henry Sydney, between 1965 1987, reinforces need for treatment evaluates diagnostic value sign contralateral horizontal testis. One hundred thirty-one studied; majority was in adolescent age-group. If operation delayed beyond 24 hours without spontaneous relief symptoms or manipulative detorsion being performed,...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used at the Prince of Wales Children's Hospital, Sydney for treatment newborn infants with life-threatening respiratory or cardiac failure since August 1989. The main indications are that disease is reversible, surviving infant likely to be normal and there an 80% likelihood death without ECMO. Eighteen 19 have survived least 2 months after 15 receiving ECMO (nine meconium aspiration, six persisting pulmonary hypertension) who did not a...
Abstract Background Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) has traditionally been managed by delayed anastamosis. However, over the last 10 years Foker technique of growth elongation used. There is limited data evaluating outcomes using both techniques. Aims The aim this study was to compare in LGEA repair traditional versus technique. Methods A retrospective chart review done patients at Sydney Children's Hospital between 1997 and 2016, comparing with Results were 9 children repaired technique,...
Abstract Mediastinal infections due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) remain an exceedingly rare entity. Most cases in the published literature do not include paediatric patients. Due their clinical infrequency, poor response antimicrobial therapy and often precarious anatomical location, treatment of these lesions presents a challenge. We present four mediastinal NTM infection treated successfully by multi-disciplinary team approach within tertiary centre. All children had extensive...

Thymectomy is part of a multimodal treatment strategy for juvenile myasthenia gravis. Symptoms that persist following thymectomy may be due to residual or ectopic thymic tissue. We report the use FDG PET/CT locate tissue in 10 year old girl with acetylcholine-receptor-antibody-positive gravis, who remained refractory medical therapy. The patient subsequently underwent completion improvement but not remission her condition.
