Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital malformation of the upper gastrointestinal tract with an estimated prevalence varying from 1 in 2500 to 4500 births. The aim this study was describe epidemiology EA between 1981 and 2012 evaluate patients' survival.This used data population-based Italian Congenital Malformation Registry. survival status ascertained by linking registry records, vital records regional registries patients. Kaplan-Meier methods were estimate probabilities up 25 years Cox...
Abstract Aim There is a knowledge gap regarding which patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs) are at highest risk of prolapse (AP), and factors predispose to AP in ARM. The aims the study were define frequency after ARM reconstruction, explore factors. Method Data from ARM‐Net registry inserted between 2007 2023 used. Inclusion criteria reconstruction performed, no stoma 1‐year follow‐up all data available follow‐up. statistics used univariable multivariable logistic regression models....
The ARM-Net (anorectal malformation network) consortium held a consensus meeting in which the classification of ARM and preoperative workup were evaluated with aim improving monitoring treatment outcome. Krickenbeck suggested by Levitt Peña, used as template, discussed, collaborative was achieved. is appropriate describing for clinical use. slightly modified. In males visible fistula, no cross-table lateral X-ray needed an anoplasty or (mini-) posterior sagittal anorectoplasty can directly...
The recently established International Consortium on Anorectal Malformations aims to identify genetic and environmental risk factors in the etiology of syndromic nonsyndromic anorectal malformations (ARM) by promoting collaboration through data sharing combined research activities. consortium attempts recruit at least 1,000 ARM cases. DNA samples are collected from case–parent triads involved ARM. Several techniques will be applied, including SNP arrays, gene whole exome sequencing, a...
Abstract Aim In paediatric and adult patients with neurogenic bowel, transanal irrigation ( TAI ) of the colon has gained popularity due to introduction a specifically designed device. The aim this pilot study was present results using Peristeen ® system in group anorectal malformation ARM congenital or acquired spinal cord lesions SCL s). Method Eight Italian surgery spina bifida centres participated study. inclusion criteria were age between 6 17 years, weight above 20 kg unsatisfactory...
Transition of care (TOC; from childhood into adulthood) patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) and Hirschsprung disease (HD) ensures continuation for these patients. The aim this international study was to assess the current status TOC adult (AC) programs ARM HD.A survey developed by members EUPSA, ERN eUROGEN, ERNICA, including patient representatives (ePAGs), comprising four domains: general information, questions about transition adulthood, disease-specific regarding AC programs....
Abstract Lymphocele is a well‐known postoperative complication after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to analyze time trend incidence, risk factors, and outcome post‐transplant lymphocele in large pediatric cohort. This retrospective single institution review 241 transplants performed from 2000 2013. Etiology end‐stage renal disease, recipient age gender, transplant year, BMI percentile for age, type dialysis, living/non‐living related donor, acute rejection, multiple...
In the past, an anteriorly located anus was often misdiagnosed and treated as anorectal malformation (ARM) with a perineal fistula (PF). The paper aims to define criteria for normal anus, anterior (AA) anatomic variant, milder types of ARM such congenital anal stenosis (CAS) PF. An extensive literature search performed by working group ARM-Net Consortium concerning subject "Normal Anus, AA, mild ARM". A consensus on definitions, clinical characteristics, diagnostic management, treatment...
objectives were to investigate the relations between associated anomalies and ARM types, timing of reconstructive surgery. Subjects data collectionARM patients under 18 years age treated in one ARM-Net Consortium registered registry until 1 March 2023 included.Each centre has a lead paediatric surgeon who is responsible for patient registration collection at their respective centre.Patient are de-identified pseudonymized before collection.Surgeons can only re-identify own with personal...
Transanal endorectal pull-through has changed the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease (HD) in past decade. The aim study was to compare outcomes, obtained a single center, with laparotomic Duhamel (LTD), laparoscopic (LSD), and laparoscopic-assisted transanal (LTEPT).We retrospectively reviewed charts all patients operated on for HD since 1992. Preoperative, operative, postoperative data were collected short- long-term outcomes among three groups.From 1992 2010, 70 children treated HD....
Postrepair esophageal dysmotility and gastroesophageal reflux are well-known consequences in patients with congenital atresia (EA) or without distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), considered the intestinal pacemaker, altered diseases abnormal peristalsis, but no data available for EA. Therefore, presence maturation ICC was verified EA-TEF newborns.Fifteen full-term neonates underwent repair EA-TEF. Control specimens were from 10 newborns who died...
