In Brief Objectives: For the past 60 years, successful repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has been performed via a thoracotomy. However, number reports have described adverse musculoskeletal sequelae following thoracotomy in infants young children. Until now, only few scattered case detailed an individual surgeon's success with thoracoscopic EA/TEF. This multi-institutional review represents largest experience describing results this approach....
In Brief Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy through a single umbilical incision is an emerging approach supported by several case series. However, to date, prospective comparative data are lacking. Therefore, we conducted prospective, randomized trial comparing site laparoscopic 3-port appendectomy. Methods: After Internal Review Board approval, patients were via or standard access. The primary outcome variable was postoperative wound infection. Using power of 0.9 and alpha 0.05, 180...
Pyloric stenosis, the most common surgical condition of infants, is treated by longitudinal myotomy pylorus. Comparative studies to date between open and laparoscopic pyloromyotomy have been retrospective report conflicting results. To scientifically compare 2 techniques, we conducted first large prospective, randomized trial approaches.After obtaining IRB approval, subjects with ultrasound-proven pyloric stenosis were either or pyloromyotomy. Postoperative pain management, feeding schedule,...
The efficacy of irrigating the peritoneal cavity during appendectomy for perforated appendicitis has been debated extensively. To date, prospective comparative data are lacking. Therefore, we conducted a prospective, randomized trial comparing irrigation to suction alone laparoscopic in children.Children younger than 18 years with were minimum 500 mL normal saline, or only appendectomy. Perforation was defined as hole appendix fecalith abdomen. primary outcome variable postoperative abscess....
Introduction Outcome studies of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and/or esophageal atresia (EA) are limited to retrospective chart reviews. This study surveyed TEF/EA patients/parents engaged in social media communities determine long-term outcomes. Materials and Methods A 50-point survey was designed presentation, interventions, ongoing symptoms after repair patients with TEF/EA. It validated using a test population made available on online communities. Results In this study, 445 subjects...
Nonoperative management (NOM) is standard of care for most pediatric blunt liver and spleen injuries (BLSI); only 5% patients fail NOM in retrospective reports. No prospective studies examine failure BLSI children. The aim this study was to determine the frequency clinical characteristics patients.A observational conducted on 18 years or younger presenting any 10 Level I trauma centers April 2013 January 2016 with computed tomography. Management based Arizona-Texas-Oklahoma-Memphis-Arkansas...
The experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in children trails the adult numbers and remains underreported. Therefore, we reviewed our this approach.A retrospective review of most recent 6-year at Children's Mercy Hospital (Kansas City, MO) between September 5, 2000, June 1, 2006, was performed. Data points included patient demographics, indication for operation, operative time, complications, recovery.During study period, 224 patients underwent a cholecystectomy. mean age 12.9 years...
