Abstract

BackgroundIntracorporeal suturing knots continue to be one of the most challenging and time-consuming steps in the thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Barbed unidirectional knotless sutures are designed to shorten surgical procedures by eliminating the need to tie knots. This work aimed to compare unidirectional barbed sutures and interrupted intracorporeal knots in the thoracoscopic repair of CDH in pediatrics regarding the time required to suture, operative time and complications.MethodsThis retrospective study included 139 patients presented with Bochdalek CDH. Patients were classified into early (neonatal) and late presentations. The hernia defect was repaired by unidirectional Barbed sutures (V-LocTM and StratafixTM sutures) in group B or by Conventional interrupted intracorporeal knots in group C.ResultsIn both early and delayed presentations, the time required to suture (15 and 13 min in group B, 33 and 28 min in group C for neonatal and delayed presentation respectively) was significantly shorter in group B. Complications (visceral perforation, wound infection, and recurrence) insignificantly differed between group B and group C of early presentation. No patients suffered from major complications in both groups.ConclusionsBoth unidirectional barbed sutures and intracorporeal knots were safe and effective. However, unidirectional barbed sutures are a time-saving choices for CDH thoracoscopic repair in early and late presentations.

Abstract

Abstract Background Controversy exists regarding the appropriate level of sympathectomy for primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) as different levels are associated with variable postoperative patients’ satisfaction and potential complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety, efficacy, and outcome of T2-T3 thoracoscopic sympathectomy (TS) versus T4 TS in this age group. Results This prospective study included 32 patients (17 males and 15 females) with primary PH treated at the department of pediatric surgery, in our institution during the period from February 2019 to February 2020. Inclusion criteria included moderate and/or severe degrees of PH not responding to conservative measures. The patients were divided randomly into two groups: group I treated by T2-T3 TS and group II underwent only T4 TS. All patients were evaluated regarding operative details and postoperative outcome. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 24 months. Group I included 18 patients (14 operated on both sides and 4 operated on one side), and group II included 14 patients (11 operated on both sides and 3 operated on one side). The ages ranged between 5 and 18 years (mean 14.25 ± 3.14 years). The difference in mean age among both groups (14.5 versus 13.9 years) was not statistically significant. The mean operative time was significantly longer in group I (22.4 versus 17.2 min, p value 0.046). The hospital stay (1 day) was similar for both groups. Postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) was more frequent in group I (n=7, 50% versus n=5, 45.5%), but the difference was not statistically significant. Postoperative over dryness occurred in 5 patients in group I (28.6%) and temporary Horner’s syndrome in one patient (7.14%). No over dryness or Horner’s syndrome occurred in any patient in group II. The QOL score has improved in both groups; the degree of improvements was better in group II. Conclusion Both T2-T3 TS and T4 TS are effective in treating primary palmar hyperhidrosis in children and adolescents. T4 TS is preferred than T2-3 TS due to less frequent postoperative complications and better patients’ satisfaction.

Abstract

Aims: Coccygodynia (also known as coccydynia and coccyalgia) described for the first time by Simpson in 1859. It is a disabling pain in the coccyx usually provoked by sitting or changing position from a sitting to a standing position. Treatment started with adjustment of ergonomics as specialized cushion for sitting, application of local heat, and oral analgesics. The aim of this study was to assess the results of total or partial coccygectomy for patients suffering from chronic refractory coccygodynia and not improving on conservative treatment in pediatrics and adolescents. Methods: The study included 22 patients, 8 of them with chronic refractory coccygodynia not responding to conservative management underwent partial or total coccygectomy using Key's surgical exposure after good preoperative preparation. Results: This study included 5 females (62.5%) and 3 males (37.5%), their ages ranged from 7 to 15 years. The results were excellent in 75% of patients and good in the remaining cases. The mean length of hospital stay was 1.43 ± 0.98 days. No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported. The parents were satisfied in almost all cases in the long term follow up. Conclusions: Coccygodynia is a disabling problem, especially in pediatric patients. Coccygectomy is a feasible management option and has a favorable outcome when performed for an appropriate indication.

Abstract

Combined laparoscopic splenectomy and cholecystectomy (CLSC) seems to be the appropriate solution in children that require splenectomy for various pathologies and also have cholelithiasis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of CLSC in pediatrics through four ports. Nineteen pediatric patients with hematological disorders underwent CLSC by a 4-port technique, from December 2018 to November 2020. The patients were initially positioned in a right lateral position. The first port was inserted at the umbilicus, the second in the subxiphoid region to the left side of the falciform ligament, the third midway between the umbilical port and the subxiphoid port, and the fourth in the left sub-umbilical region. The operating table was tilted to the right to first perform the splenectomy, after which it was tilted to left to perform the cholecystectomy. For the cholecystectomy, the subxiphoid port was passed through the falciform ligament to the right side. The mean age of the patients was 9.96 years and the mean splenic volume was 327.54 cm3. The mean total operative time was 128.71 min. There was no intra-operative visceral or vascular injury. All procedures were completed without conversions. The mean post-operative hospital stay was 2.28 days. During the follow-up period, no complications were detected. CLSC using four ports is a safe and a feasible procedure, with better cosmetic results, and easy to perform in well-trained hands. PACTR201901796143495.

Abstract

Background: To determine the practice pattern of male circumcision among pediatric surgeons in Egypt. Aim of Study: This study proved a shortage of communi-cation between the surgeons and the parents. And it was limited by the inability to correlate the clinical practice with the outcome results and the fact that not all members of EPSA responded to e-mails or personal communication. Patients and Methods: During 33rd Congress of Egyptian Pediatric Surgical Association in 2018, the pediatric surgeons were asked to fill a 22-question survey about their practice in male circumcision. Results: Correct responses were received from 126 sur-geons; 27% of responders operated more than 150 cases per year, 35% performed circumcision at the neonatal period, 45.2% used bone cutting forceps, 88.1% preferred electrocau-tery for sealing minute bleeding vessels; (81.7% use bipolar diathermy and only 6.4% used monopolar diathermy), 8% of the responders never used sutures in circumcision. There is a wide variation in the type of anesthesia and analgesia used. 61% recommended removal of the dressing after 24 hours. 70.4% of the responders regularly reviewed the cases in the outpatient clinics. Conclusion: The current survey reflects the diversity in the practice patterns of circumcision among pediatric surgeons in Egypt. Guillotine method using bone cutting forceps still the commonest method used. Other methods are limited due to the unavailability of the devices in most institutions. The pain control measures and the post-procedure care should be improved.

Abstract

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung's disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung's disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middle-income countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p
