Telemedicine and surgical telementoring strive to provide equal access specialized healthcare, regardless of patient location. It also aims providers in remote locations real-time, second opinions from more experienced physicians who are otherwise not readily available. The goal this study is gauge the public perception technology pediatric population.Patient families our surgery gastroenterology clinics were asked complete a seven-question survey after being shown 1-minute video describing...
Purpose: Although recurrence remains one of the most feared complications following congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair, there are minimal data on optimal surgical approach to these complex situations. The purpose this study was survey international pediatric surgery community ascertain practice patterns for both minimally invasive (MIS) and open approaches recurrent CDH. Materials Methods: A e-mailed members an online surgeons. questionnaire elicited surgeons' clinical experience,...
Thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been associated with faster recovery, earlier extubation, and decreased morbidity. Nevertheless, thoracoscopic is rarely attempted in the post-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patient. Commonly cited reasons for not attempting thoracoscopy include concerns that patients' respiratory status too tenuous to tolerate insufflation pressures or presumed defect size so large it precludes repair. Our purpose review our...
There is little consensus on optimal management for congenital diaphragmatic hernia extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (CDH ECMO) patients. Meaningful comparisons of the various approaches have been limited due to low number cases in institutions. In addition, multidisciplinary reliance and rigid institutional framework ECMO serve further limit exposure alternative practices. The goal this study survey international pediatric surgery community describe current practice trends.A was...
We previously developed a porcine model of long gap pure esophageal atresia (EA) to aid in the creation novel devices and techniques for treatment EA. Shortcomings included difficulty decompressing proximal pouch (leading recurrent aspiration) requirement gastrostomy tube (G-tube) feeds. Therefore, we sought create with bifurcated esophagus wherein one portion lumen retained patency other part mimicked EA.After G-tube placement, thoracotomy was performed subsequent partial stapled...
While adult bowel anastomoses are typically performed with staplers, neonatal small have traditionally been in a hand-sewn manner due to the large size of surgical staplers. The purpose this study was compare stapled anastomosis using newly available, 5-mm laparoscopic stapler an open animal model.Twenty were by two general surgery residents (10 and 10 hand-sewn) New Zealand white rabbit. divided scalpel. Surgical technique alternated between single-layer anastomoses. Each resected for ex...
