Abstract Gastrostomy tube insertion has become a more common practice in pediatric patients. An increasing number of children both health-care facilities and at home are relying on temporary or long-term enteral feeding. placement can be accomplished by various methods variety specialists. Despite the overall safety these procedures, early late complications occur. It is important for pediatricians subspecialists to familiar with aware indications, safety, management gastrostomies. This...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The 1‐step low‐profile percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (1‐step PEG) uses a single procedure that allows immediate use of device. aim the present study was to provide our experience with this device and analyze complications outcomes after initial placement. Methods: We performed retrospective chart review pediatric patients PEG placement done by gastroenterologists between 2006 June 2011. Patients were studied for minimum period 6 months. Results: A total 121...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Intraabdominal fluid collections that previously required surgical intervention can now be drained with less invasive techniques. The use of lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) to treat pancreatic pseudocysts and perirectal abscesses has been shown a safe effective technique in adults. We aim evaluate the indications, outcomes, complications LAMS pediatric patients at our institution. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed study up 18 years age Children's...
A 3-month-old girl with chronic diarrhea, facial dysmorphism, pedal edema, and growth failure was admitted for management of hypoalbuminemia. Evaluation revealed hypocalcemmia hypogammaglobulinemia. Lymphangiogram radionuclide tracer activity in the left upper quadrant abdomen suggestive lymphangiectasia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy colonoscopy showed pinpoint white lesions distal duodenum proximal jejunum, minimally dilated lacteals on biopsies, prominent edematous ileocecal valve (Fig. 1)....
Pyogenic liver abscesses are a common finding in developing countries but infrequently diagnosed developed such as the United States. Staphylococus aureus, Klebsiella, and Escherichia coli species most commonly reported pathogens identified these lesions. In world, no predisposing factors usually found, have been associated with immunocompromised states, abdominal trauma, or setting of intra-abdominal sepsis. Other conditions include granulocyte disorders, sickle cell disease, global...
Introduction: Lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stent (LASEMS) has gained wide popularity because of its increased use for various indications such as drainage pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), gallbladders and peri-digestive collections. Several studies have looked at the efficacy LASEMS in adult population. To our knowledge this is first case series that describes pediatric Cases: An 18-year-old boy developed perirectal abscess complication perforated appendicitis. Under...
Purpose: Achalasia is a progressive, incurable and rare disorder of esophageal motility characterized by aperistalsis incomplete relaxation the lower sphincter (LES) in response to swallow. Functional obstruction created poorly functioning LES thought be cause symptoms. Current therapies aim reduce distal obstruction. Pneumatic dilation (PD) use well established adults. However, many patients require repeat dilations achieve resolution A number factors, including young age, have been...
