Abstract Background Total nephrectomy (TN) remains the standard treatment of unilateral Wilms tumors (uWT). The SIOP WT‐2001 protocol allowed Nephron Sparing Surgery (NSS) for polar or peripherally non‐infiltrating tumors. Aim: Inventory current NSS‐experience. Procedures 2,800 patients with a unilateral, localized metastatic and an unequivocal surgical technique recorded were included. All had neo‐adjuvant chemotherapy delayed surgery. In 91 (3%) NSS was performed in 2709 TN. Data retrieved...
Abstract Background Studies comparing laparoscopic and open appendicectomy are difficult to interpret owing several types of bias, the results often seem limited clinical importance. National audits can be valuable provide insight into outcomes following at a population level. Methods A prospective, observational, resident-led, nationwide audit was carried out over period 2 months, including all consecutive adult patients who had surgery for suspected acute appendicitis. Complications after...
Abstract Wilms tumour is a relatively common and curable paediatric tumour. Known challenges to cure in low income countries are late presentation with advanced disease, malnutrition, failure complete treatment limited facilities. In this article, management recommendations given for setting where only the minimal requirements curative intent available (setting 1). These include general management, supportive care, social support registration of patients. Recommendations specific care...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The VACTERL association is the nonrandom co‐occurrence of V ertebral anomalies, A nal atresia, C ardiovascular malformations, T racheo‐esophageal fistula (TEF) and/or E sophageal atresia (EA), R enal L imb‐anomalies. full phenotype patients with EA/TEF and other anomalies spectrum defects not well described in literature. METHODS: Data on seen two pediatric surgical centers Netherlands between January 1988 August 2006 were evaluated for as non‐VACTERL‐type defects....
<h3>Background</h3> Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The prevalence factors pulmonary function impairment were investigated in a large cohort CCSs treated with potentially pulmotoxic therapy minimal follow-up 5 years after diagnosis. <h3>Methods</h3> study consisted all adult 5-year who bleomycin, radiotherapy and/or surgery the Emma Children9s Hospital/Academic Medical Center between 1966 1996. Pulmonary tests performed to diagnose...
Various surgical methods are used to treat meconium ileus (MI), including resection with enterostomy (RES), primary anastomosis (RPA), and purse-string enterotomy intra-operative lavage (PSI). The aim of this study is discuss the treatment MI, based on our experience. Of 41 MI patients treated at institution between 1984 2007, 18 had simple 23 complex MI. These groups were analyzed according modality, concentrating length hospital stay, complications [peritonitis, septicemia, adhesive small...
To assess psychological and social functioning health related quality of life its early determinants in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).Cross-sectional follow-up study.Outpatient clinic a tertiary care hospital.33 CDH survivors aged 6-16 years.Patients who developed associated respiratory distress within 24 h after birth.Psychological assessed the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R), Bourdon-Vos test, Beery Developmental Test Visual Motor Integration,...
Few studies on the surgical outcomes of open (OP) versus laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) in treatment hypertrophic pyloric stenosis have been published. The question arises as to how many procedures are required for a surgeon pass learning curve and which technique is best terms postoperative complications. This study aimed evaluate quantify at authors' center. A second goal this was pre- data OP LP infantile stenosis.A retrospective analysis performed 229 patients with stenosis. Between...
To study the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER)related complications after correction esophageal atresia (EA).The association EA and GER in children is well known. However, little known about prevalence its potential adults who have undergone as a child.Prospective analysis over 28 years by means questionnaire, esophagogastroscopy, histologic evaluation biopsies.The questionnaire was returned 38 (95%) 40 patients. A quarter patients had no complaints. Swallowing solid food problem...
Several studies have described reduced plasma concentrations of arginine, the substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). No information on endogenous NOS inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) patients NEC is currently available. We investigated whether ADMA, and their ratio differ between premature without NEC, survivors non-survivors within group. In a prospective case-control study, arginine ADMA were measured ten (median gestational...
The aim of this study was to evaluate oesophageal function after correction atresia in adults, and investigate the association between complaints, quality life (QoL). Twenty-five adults were included who participated previous follow-up studies, during which complaints dysphagia gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), results upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, biopsies QoL had been collected. Manometry performed 20 patients, 24 h pH-measurements 21 patients. pH-values (sample time 5 s) calculated...
ABSTRACT Objectives: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a well‐recognized consequence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Results studies examining predictive factors for early and late GERD are inconclusive. The aim this study was to assess the incidence (<2 years) (≥6 following CDH repair identify variables. Patients Methods: Of 183 patients born with high‐risk CDH, 107 survived 38 were excluded. Perinatal postnatal data 69 eligible analysed variables GERD. For follow‐up...
We investigated the impact of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) on attention, a prerequisite for behavioral and neurocognitive functioning.Children aged 6 to 13 years who were diagnosed with TBI (n = 113; mean 1.7 postinjury) compared children trauma control (not involving head) 53). severity was defined as mild or without risk factors complicated (mild(RF+) TBI, n 52; mild(RF-) 24) moderate/severe 37). Behavioral functioning assessed by using parent teacher questionnaires, Attention...
