ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La apendicitis aguda neonatal es una patología de muy baja frecuencia, con escasos reportes en los últimos 30 años. La clínica e imágenes son inespecíficas, diagnosticándose la mayoría de las veces durante el procedimiento quirúrgico. OBJETIVO: Presentar un caso de apendicitis aguda perfora da en paciente prematura, con diagnóstico prequirúrgico y resolución laparoscópica, asociada a aparición posterior de hernia inguinal. CASO CLÍNICO: Recién nacido femenino de 34 semanas que a los 17 días de vida presentó fiebre, irritabilidad y aumento del residuo lácteo. Al examen físico destacaba distensión y sensibilidad del abdomen y tanto la radiografía como ecografía abdominales eran compatibles con apendicitis aguda perforada, por lo cual ingresó a pabellón para laparoscopía. Confirmado el diagnóstico, se realizó apendicectomía. Dos semanas después en consulta ambulatoria, se evidenció y confirmó con ecografía una hernia inguinal bilateral que se corrigió quirúrgicamente. CONCLUSIÓN: La apendicitis aguda debe considerarse dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales en neonatos con clínica de abdomen agudo, principalmente en prematuros. En este caso, la ecografía permitió realizar el diagnóstico pre-operatorio. La posible asociación con hernia inguinal, debiera motivar a examinar siempre conductos inguinales durante la evaluación con imá genes y en el procedimiento quirúrgico.


INTRODUCTION: Acute neonatal appendicitis is a rare pathology, with few reports in the last 30 years. Since its clinical presentation and imaging studies are non-specific, most cases are diagnosed during a surgical pro cedure. OBJECTIVE: To describe a neonatal case of acute perforated appendicitis associated with later appearance of inguinal hernia, with pre-surgical diagnosis and treated through laparoscopy. CLINICAL CASE: A 17-day-old preterm female newborn presented with fever, irritability, and increased milk intolerance. Physical examination showed abdominal distention, tenderness and both, abdominal X- ray and ultrasound showed compatible images with acute perforated appendicitis. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, we performed an appendicectomy through laparoscopy. Two weeks later, during an outpatient visit, we observed a bilateral inguinal hernia which was confirmed by ultrasound, and then it was surgically corrected. CONCLUSION: Acute appendicitis should be considered within the differential diagnosis in neonates with acute abdominal symptoms, mainly in premature infants. In this case, ultrasound scan allowed us to make the pre-operative diagnosis. The possible association with inguinal hernias should motivate to examine inguinal ducts during imaging assessment and surgical procedure.

ABSTRACT

Gastric perforation in neonates is an uncommon condition. It could be spontaneous but a contributing cause should be sought. To review our experience of treating 8 neonates with gastric perforation over the past 20 years. We reviewed the records of all newborns admitted to our hospital between 1990 and 2010 with regard to gender, age at admission, contributing factors, associated anomalies, site of perforation, type of operation, and outcome. Of the eight neonates, five were female and three male. The average weight was 2130 g. Four babies were premature. Three infants were ventilated for respiratory difficulty. Five patients had associated anomalies. Perforation occurred in the lesser curvature in 4, at the greater curvature in 3, and at the anterior antrum surface in 1. All patients were treated with gastrorrhaphy. Four neonates required additional gastrostomy. Mortality was 75% [6 infants]. Active perinatal management, early treatment of primary pathologies, and protection of the stomach against distension in neonates at risk are essential in the management of neonatal gastric perforation

ABSTRACT

Ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus can lead to severe cardiorespiratory compromise in preterm infants. This report reviews the postoperative course of a patient with significant cardiorespiratory instability following surgical ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus and presents a framework for enhanced cardiovascular care in this population. A preterm infant, born at 24 wk gestation underwent ligation of a large haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus after failure of 2 courses of indomethacin. He developed systemic hypotension, which was aggressively treated with high doses of multiple cardiotropic agents. After 10 hr of refractory hypotension, the addition of hydrocortisone normalized blood pressure. This article outlines preprocedural categorization of infants according to ductal illness severity which facilitates the risk assignment for postoperative deterioration, development of clinical guidelines specific to the likely haemodynamic changes, enhanced role of functional echocardiography for guiding therapy, and interprofessional education.

ABSTRACT

To compare the postoperative outcome according to the type of anesthesia, formerly prematured and high-risk infants who had received and weaned ventilator care preoperatively and had undergone inguinal herniorrhaphy were enrolled in this study. Immediate pre- and post-operative respiratory data which contained the lowest respiratory rates, SpO2, heart rates and the incidence of hypoxemia and bradycardia were collected with the incidence of ventilator care, application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), application of oxygen, hospital stay, and respiratory mortality by chart review, retrospectively. Among the twenty-nine infants, fourteen received the general anesthesia (GA group), and fifteen received the spinal anesthesia (SA group). Postoperatively, the infants in the GA group had lower SpO2 (77.1 +/- 20.9% vs. 93.0 +/- 5.5%), higher incidence of hypoxemia (6 vs. 0), ventilator care (5 vs. 0) and application of CPAP (4 vs. 0) than the infants in the SA group. One infant in the GA group died because of acute respiratory failure caused by respiratory syncythial virus pneumonia. We concluded that spinal anesthesia reduces postoperative oxygen desaturation and respiratory morbidity in formerly prematured and high-risk infants who underwent inguinal herniorrhaphy.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective study comparing 16 full-term and 18 pre-term neonates with NEC operated on at Siriraj Hospital between 1987 and 1999 is presented. Major risk factors leading to NEC in full-term neonates included sepsis, SGA, birth asphyxia, severe jaundice requiring exchange transfusion and chorioamnionitis. Although full-term neonates developed NEC earlier than pre-term neonates (8.56 days vs 12.78 days), the average ages of operation in both groups were the same. There was no difference in CBC and bacteriological culture's results between term and pre-term patients. The decision to conduct operative treatments for full-term neonates with NEC was mostly based on only clinical signs of peritonitis (56.25%) before the pneumoperitoneum developed (31.25%). Ileo-caecal region was the most common site of bowel necrosis in both premature and full-term infants. Although term infants had a better 3-month survival rate than pre-term neonates (75% and 61% respectively), both groups had the same surgical complication rates.

ABSTRACT

A persistência do canal arterial ocorre com freqüência em neonatos prematuros, provocando um grave quadro de disfunçao cardiopulmonar. O tratamento envolve duas abordagens, sendo uma clínica e outra cirúrgica. A operaçao para a ligadura do canal arterial é praticada desde 1938. O enfoque clínico preconiza o uso da indometacina, com o intuito de promover a oclusao do canal arterial. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar os resultados obtidos com o tratamento cirúrgico da persistência do canal arterial, através de toracotomia e ligadura em 14 pacientes, incluindo crianças de baixo peso e neonatos prematuros com quadro clínico instável. A principal indicaçao cirúrgica, nestes casos, foi a presença de insuficiência respiratória aguda e insuficiência cardíaca. A técnica empregada foi a tripla ligadura do canal arterial. Nos 14 casos nao obtivemos nenhum tipo de complicaçao e sem mortalidade. A presença de uma Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal (U.T.I) no Hospital foi de extremo valor no preparo dos pacientes e na evoluçao no período de pós-operatório. Este trabalho comprova a eficácia do método cirúrgico empregado, com baixas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade e a importância da U.T.I neonatal no acompanhamento dos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

A presente investigaçäo tem o propósito de analisar, retrospectivamente, os resultados obtidos em 18 pacientes neonatos prematuros, submetidos a operaçäo para oclusäo da PCA, no período entre julho de 1990 e dezembro de 1993 (42 meses), sendo 12 (66,6 por cento) pacientes do sexo feminino, com idade que variou entre 10 e 44 (20,8 mais ou menos 8,3)dias, idade gestacional entre 26 e 28 (27,1 mais ou menos 0,9) semanas. No dia da operaçäo o peso dos pacientes esteve compreendido entre 700 e 1380 (985,8 mais ou menos 181,6) gramas. A insuficiência respiratória ocorreu em todos os pacientes, sendo a principal indicaçäo cirúrgica, estando em 6 (33,3 por cento) pacientes associada à insuficiência cardíaca congestiva. A indometacina endovenosa foi utilizada no período pré-operatório em 9 (50 por cento) pacientes na tentativa de se obter o fechamento farmacológico, sem sucesso, do canal arterial e apesar de näo influenciar nos resultados pós-operatórios, apresentou como principal efeito secundário a reduçäo significativa da diurese (p,0,001), que se normalizou após quatro dias do uso da droga. A técnica operatória empregada fo a toracotomia póstero-lateral esquerda trans-pleural com fixaçäo de três ou quatro clipes metálicos para oclusäo do canal arterial. O exame ecocardiográfico pré-operatório, realizado em 15 (83,2 por cento) pacientes, mostrou que a relaçäo entre o diâmetro do átrio esquerdo/aorta estava aumentada com quatro meses após a operaçä, evidenciando tendência de normalizaçäo da funçäo cardíaca. Um (5,5 por cento) paciente apresentou reabertura do canal arterial no pós-operatório imediato, sendo submetido à reoperaçäo para ligadura do canal. Näo foi observada diferença significativa no tempo necessário de intubaçäo orotraqueal (IOT) (p=0.586) bem como do tempo de permanência com fraçäo inspiratória de oxigênio (FIO2), <40 por cento e >40 por cento,60 por cento no período pré e pós-operatório (p=0,841 e p=0,692, respectivamente), mas com reduçäo significativa do tempo de permanência com FIO2,60 por cento p=0,033). O período de internaçäo hospitalar variou de 43 a 157(96,0 mais ou menos 24,8)dias. Näo houve mortalidade operatória, observando-se ainda baixa morbidade com este método. As causas de óbito, no período pós-operatório, näo estiveram relacionadas com o tratamento cirúrgico. Pode-se concluir que a ligadura cirúrgica da PCA, nos pacientes neonatos e prematuros, é método eficaz e seguro, podendo ser praticado com baixa morbidade e mortalidade.

ABSTRACT

Oito casos com gastrosquise e oito com onfalocele foram tratados em um período de 38 meses (março/88 a abril/91) no Hospital Materno-Infantil Presidente Vargas. Quatro pacientes com onfalocele (50 por cento) e outros quatro com gastrosquise (50 por cento) nasceram de parto cesáreo. Apenas l caso de cada patologia teve diagnóstico pré-natal. Em 25 por cento de cada patologia estiveram presentes outras malformaçoes associadas. Seis RN com onfalocele (75 por cento) e 5 com gastrosquise (62,5 por cento) sobreviveram. Ventilaçao mecânica (VM) no pós-operatório (PO) foi usada em 5 casos de onfalocele e 6 de gastrosquise. O início da via oral nos RN que sobreviveram variou de 5 a 20 dias (onfalocele) e 15 a 18 gastrosquise), enquanto que o tempo de hospitalizaçao durou 6 a 34 dias (onfalocele) e 19 a 31 dias (gastrosquise). Nossa experiência e de outros autores sugerem que (l) o parto vaginal é o de escolha para malformaçoes da parede abdominal anterior, (2) a hidrataçao no pré-operatório deve ser 2 vezes a manutençao, (3) no tratamento cirúrgico a preferência é pelo fechamento fascial primário (FFP), (4) o uso da VM no PO segue as indicaçoes usuais (5), a nutricao parenteral total deve ser usada precocemente.
