Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, all well-known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Surgical weight loss has resulted in a marked reduction of these adults. We hypothesized that gastric bypass would improve parameters metabolic dysfunction adolescents type mellitus.Eleven who underwent Roux-en-Y at 5 centers were included. Anthropometric, hemodynamic, biochemical measures surgical complications analyzed. Similar from 67 treated...
Optimal surgical treatment of infants with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) remains controversial. In order to better understand variability in management, we surveyed the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) membership.An online-based survey, conducted 2012, was sent all IPEG members.The survey completed by 170 surgeons from 31 countries. A majority respondents practiced academic/university settings (86%) performed one three EA/TEF repairs annually...
Aim: To define the role of laparoscopy for treating malrotation in children. Materials and Methods: The Ladd procedure (9 laparoscopic [lap-Ladd], 17 open [open-Ladd]; n=26) was performed children up to including 30 days age (neonatal [Group N]) older (Group C). These groups were compared retrospectively. Results: Group N (n=14) comprised 3 lap-Ladd 11 open-Ladd patients. C (n=12) 6 No case had ischemic bowel preoperatively. Intestinal volvulus confirmed 9 patients N, with 5 (P=not...
The aim of this study was to compare endoloops and endostaples for closing the stump appendix during laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) uncomplicated appendicitis in children.All LA performed from 2005 2009 were analyzed prospectively. Cases complicated such as perforated or intra-abdominal abscess excluded, leaving 75 cases closed with loops 81 staples. Choice technique determined by attending surgeon's preference.

Purpose: Reports on laparoscopic treatment (LT) of peritonitis secondary to perforated appendicitis (PA) in children often include localized peritonitis/appendiceal mass, without specifically referring pan-peritonitis (PP). This study compared LT with open (OT) only those patients PP PA. Methods: was defined as generalized abdominal rigidity presentation purulent material intraoperatively found throughout the entire cavity. Based this definition, we identified 23 cases PA from all our 2004...
Aim: Laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy (LKPE) is generally regarded to have a poorer outcome than open for the surgical treatment of uncorrectable biliary atresia. We will describe our LKPE as only center using laparoscopy perform in Japan. Techniques: For LKPE, 5-mm trocar placed epigastrium addition conventional placement. A Ligasure device inserted through this additional seal portal vein branches at porta hepatis draining into caudate lobe, instead hook diathermy that used universally...
