Background: Surgical resection remains an important treatment of choice for a large number liver tumors in children. Sometimes, if tumor infiltrates part the liver, after resection, future remnant (FLR) is not enough normal function. The size FLR one determining factors resectability as postoperative failure (PLF) most severe complication partial hepatectomy. A new strategy treating marginally resectable adult patients which were initially considered unresectable was formally reported 2011....
Introduction. Intussusception is a common abdominal emergency in early childhood. It idiopathic more than 90% of cases with incidence 1.5-4 per 1,000 live births. The treatment choice nonoperative hydrostatic or air enema reduction. Objective. aim the study was to evaluate influence clinical presentation and symptom duration non-operative treatment, considering indications for delayed reduction its efficacy. Methods.

The incidence condition 3-4 per 1000 live births, and male infants are affected more often than females, 4:1 ratio. Vomiting, as first symptom, occurs between third fourth week after birth, rarely second month, but there have been few reports vomiting late 5 months. Etiology IHPS still controversial. Two...

Distal splenorenal (DSRS) was performed 22 children age from 2 to 17 years EHPVO. Indications for were pain abdominal discomfort caused by enlargement, as well symptomatic hypersplenism...
Introuduction: The prognosis of hepatoblastoma has changed since effective adjuvant chemotherapy had been introduced in 1980's.
