Abstract

The authors report a case of a two-year-old child with esophageal stricture -- caused first by caustic ingestion and by the end-to-end anastomosis, performed after the excision of the stenotic esophageal segment-- that required repeated dilations. These manouvres unfortunately led to bacteremia and a serious complication of a brain abscess, in the right fronto-parietal area, that was promptly removed. A few months later the child was subjected to an esophageal substitution with a colonic transposition. At present he is in good condition and the follow-up showed normal function of the neo-esophagus.

Abstract

Background: Reoperation for failed hypospadias has been considered to be seriously problematic. The dense fibrotic tissue causes difficulties in wound healing and increases the rate of complications. The tubularised incised-plate urethroplasty (TIPU) method has become a preferred method for all varieties of hypospadias in the past decade. However, fistulas are still one of the most common complications of this technique. The aim of this paper was to present the preliminary results of TIPU procedure with double de-epithelised dartos flaps in failed hypospadias repair. Materials and Methods: All patients were treated between January 2009 and August 2010 by the same procedure, utilising TIPU with double de-epithelised dartos flaps. Vascularised ventral dartos flaps harvested from each side of the penis with their vascular supply were transposed to cover the suture line by wrapping them from either side of the penis. Results: There were 21 boys with failed hypospadias: 20 had previously undergone TIPU, and one Koyanagi repair. Patients presented with very large fistulas in four and dehiscence in 17. Repair of the failed hypospadias using TIPU with double de-epithelised dartos flaps was quite successful, with no fistula recurrence or dehiscence observed. Conclusion: The preliminary results showed that TIPU with double de-epithelised dartos flaps is a useful method of successfully repairing failed hypospadias. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

271. Secondary involvement of Meckel’s diverticulum by group A -hemolytic streptococcus in a child with upper airways infection treated by laparoscopic-assisted resection

Author

Bertozzi, Mirko, Verrotti, Alberto, Latini, Maria Elena, Rinaldi, Victoria Elisa, Di Cara, Giuseppe, and Appignani, Antonino

Abstract

We report a case of a 5-year-old boy with acute abdomen following an upper airways infection who developed Meckel’s diverticulum perforation secondary to group A -hemolytic streptococcus and its successful treatment by a laparoscopic-assisted intervention. To the best of our knowledge, such an event has never been reported previously.

Abstract

The authors report a case of duplication of the entire small intestine manifested by frequent haemorrhages originating from a peptic ulcer located distally to the duplication. The peptic ulcer was provoked by the ectopic gastric mucosa of the duplication. Surgery consisted "stripping" the mucosa of the duplicated tract according to Wrenn's technique. Other surgical methods for treating this malformation are discussed in detail. The literature describing similar cases is reviewed.
