Abstract

Current surgical options for patients requiring esophageal replacement suffer from several limitations and do not assure a satisfactory quality of life. Tissue engineering techniques for the creation of customized "self-developing" esophageal substitutes, which are obtained by seeding autologous cells on artificial or natural scaffolds, allow simplifying surgical procedures and achieving good clinical outcomes. In this context, an appealing approach is based on the exploitation of decellularized tissues as biological matrices to be colonized by the appropriate cell types to regenerate the desired organs. With specific regard to the esophagus, the presence of a thick connective texture in the decellularized scaffold hampers an adequate penetration and spatial distribution of cells. In the present work, the Quantum Molecular Resonance (R) (QMR) technology was used to create a regular microchannel structure inside the connective tissue of full-thickness decellularized tubular porcine esophagi to facilitate a diffuse and uniform spreading of seeded mesenchymal stromal cells within the scaffold. Esophageal samples were thoroughly characterized before and after decellularization and microperforation in terms of residual DNA content, matrix composition, structure and biomechanical features. The scaffold was seeded with mesenchymal stromal cells under dynamic conditions, to assess the ability to be repopulated before its implantation in a large animal model. At the end of the procedure, they resemble the original esophagus, preserving the characteristic multilayer composition and maintaining biomechanical properties adequate for surgery. After the sacrifice we had histological and immunohistochemical evidence of the full-thickness regeneration of the esophageal wall, resembling the native organ. These results suggest the QMR microperforated decellularized esophageal scaffold as a promising device for esophagus regeneration in patients needing esophageal substitution.

Abstract

Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Its varied presentation and rapid progression engender a high risk of morbidity and mortality. We report two cases of SV in teenage boys. Patient 1 is 16 years old and patient 2 is 17. Both presented to our institution with recent-onset abdominal pain, constipation, and nausea and vomiting, and both had previous episodes of SV. Patient 1 had been surgically treated with manual derotation, and patient 2, who had redundant colon, had two past episodes of endoscopically-treated SV. Both patients were in poor condition and had distended but treatable abdomens, with no peritoneal signs. After computed tomography (CT) confirmation of the clinical impression of no ischemia or perforation, we decided to attempt detorsion of the SV and decompression of proximal dilated colon by flexible endoscopy, and planned for elective surgery shortly after the endoscopic procedure. Because sigmoid volvulus is so rare in children, operative and technical details of endoscopic management are gleaned from the larger adult experience. In patients without signs of complication, initial endoscopic reduction is the gold standard, and elective sigmoid resection with primary anastomosis is often required to prevent recurrence.

Abstract

Foreign objects ingestion occur commonly in pediatric patients. The majority of ingested foreign bodies pass spontaneously the gastrointestinal tract and surgery is rarely required for extraction. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies larger than 10 cm has not yet been described. We present the case of a 16 years old bulimic girl that swallowed a 12 cm long teaspoon in order to provoke vomiting. The teaspoon perforated the duodenum. However, it was removed during gastroscopy and the site of perforation was closed endoscopically. This particular case shows the importance of endoscopy for retrieval of large foreign bodies, and the possibility to endoscopically close a perforated duodenal wall.
