Allied disorders of Hirschsprung's disease (ADHD) have been proposed to be the concept functional obstruction intestine with presence ganglion cells in terminal rectum. They are classified into two categories based on pathology: (1) abnormal ganglia, including immaturity hypoganglionosis (HG), and intestinal neuronal dysplasia; (2) normal megacystis microcolon hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS), segmental dilatation (SD), internal anal sphincter achalasia (IASA), chronic idiopathic...
<b>Purpose</b> Glypican 3 (GPC3) is one of the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that binds to membrane, and it known as an oncofetal protein in adult malignant tumors. Clinical trials using a GPC3 peptide vaccine have already been started Japan new immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma patients. To investigate possibility pediatric tumors, we assessed expression <b>Methods</b> Immunohistochemically, was examined 159 solid including 35 cases neuroblastoma, 30 Wilms tumor, 10...
Malignant small round cell tumors usually progress rapidly and show resistance to chemotherapy, it is often difficult make a definitive diagnosis based on their histological morphology. Glypican-3 (GPC3) highly tumor-specific antigen, the overexpression of GPC3 was reported in many pediatric adult malignancies. In present study, we investigated expression malignant assess its role differential tumors. Immunohistochemistry performed samples from 84 rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs; 44 alveolar 40...
Background: Endoscopic surgery also has been becoming widespread in the field of pediatric surgery. However, most disease treated by a single institution are small number cases. Besides, variety operative procedures that need to be performed this is quite wide. For these reasons, surgeons have limited opportunities perform endoscopic Therefore, it difficult introduce advanced at local hospital. To educate hospitals, for safely, and eliminate patient centralization, we introduced proctoring...
We aimed to investigate whether the lung-to-thorax transverse area ratio (LTR) immediately before birth is of diagnostic value for prediction postnatal short-term outcomes in cases isolated left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). retrospectively reviewed fetal CDH managed at our institution between April 2008 and July 2016. divided patients into two groups based on LTR birth, using a cut-off 0.08. compared proportions subjects within who survived until discharge Fisher's exact...
Background: Thoracoscopic surgery for pediatric benign tumors is a common procedure. However, large incision needed to remove from the thoracic cavity. And, intrapulmonary sequestration in lower lobe, it sometimes needs ligate aberrant vessels. A muscle-sparing axillar skin crease (MSASCI) has been introduced open surgery, resulting excellent aesthetic outcomes compared with standard incision. We herein report utility of this MSASCI technique thoracoscopic cavity and vessels lobe. Materials...
The right hepatic artery crossing the ventral side of common duct is a relatively frequent abnormality. This aberrant not only interferes with dissection bile and hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cyst but can also cause postoperative anastomotic stenosis. A 14-year-old patient presented upper abdominal pain was diagnosed (Type IVA in Todani Classification) pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography showed located at duct. Laparoscopic resection were planned....
The mortality rate of giant omphalocele has improved; however long-term follow-up revealed umbilical defects and deformities after primary closure. We herein report the efficacy a new abdominal wall reconstruction strategy combining component separation technique with delayed natural deep umbilicoplasty.
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose We aimed to investigate the impact of intraoperative bile exposure (BE) on postoperative recovery and complications in pediatric patients with choledochal cysts (CCs). Methods reviewed medical records CC who underwent laparoscopic surgery at our institutions between 2016 2024. The were divided into two groups according presence (BE group) or absence (control BE. Results Forty enrolled group, n = 29; BE 11). clinical data compared groups. patients’ background...
Pyriform sinus cyst (PSC) and pyriform fistula (PSF) is a rare congenital malformation that arises from the third or fourth branchial structure. In our study, we describe safety utility of endoscopic electrocauterization against PSC/PSF.We retrospectively reviewed records patients who underwent for PSC/PSF at hospital. The internal opening was identified under general anesthesia using flexible endoscope (XQ-260 H-290; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan), DualKnifeJ (KD-655L; Olympus) used to ablate...
Abstract Purpose The number of accessible central veins (CVs) affects the prognosis patients with intestinal failure (IF). loss residual CVs should be avoided. We therefore evaluated efficacy a new CV catheter-exchange technique using subcutaneous fibrous sheath (FS) in pediatric IF patients. Methods retrospectively collected catheter (CVC) data managed from January 2009 to December 2019. were divided into two groups; Groups 1 (CVCs placed FS method) and Group 2 by primary or another...
