RESUMO

To determine the parental dosing errors in administering oral liquid medication to pediatric population. Cross sectional study. Department of Pediatric Surgery Civil Hospital and Pediatric Medicine Lyari General Hospital Karachi, from February 2009 to September 2009. Parents of children admitted were enrolled in the study. They were asked to measure one teaspoonful [5 ml] of paracetamol syrup from the tray containing household spoons of different sizes. The amount filled by the parents was measured by 5 ml syringe. Accurate dose was defined as 5.0 ml while an acceptable dose was 5.0 +/- 0.5 ml [4.5 ml - 5.5 ml] according to National Formulary and USP Standards of a + or - of 10% of error dosage range for oral devices. A total of 530 parents participated in the study. The age of the participants ranged from 16 year to 55 year [mean= 28.93 +/- 6.6 year]. Only 118 [22.3%] participants measured accurate dose while 164 [30.9%] measured the acceptable dose and 366 [69.1%] participants measured inaccurate dose. Accuracy in measuring household teaspoon quantity was not associated wirh parents' age [p >.05], education [p >.05], cooking experience [p >.05] and previous drug administering experience [p>.05]. Household teaspoons were unreliable when measuring and administering liquid medication to pediatric population. Oral syringe is recommended as the best device for both measuring and delivering liquid medication

RESUMO

Foreign bodies left accidentally during a surgical procedure are rare. In spite of careful intra-operative precautions and gauze counts mistake still occurs. Many of these cases present with sepsis, the foreign body may erode hollow viscera with and without signs of peritonitis and discovered on laparatomy. These foreign bodies may remain silent for years. We are reporting an interesting case of an 11 years old girl who presents with gauze piece coming out of her urethra 4 years after cystolithotomy and right ureterolithotomy. Such cases of intraluminal migration and spontaneous expulsion of foreign body are rarely reported

RESUMO

To assess the results of one-stage repair of anterior hypospadias using modified Mathieu procedure. An interventional study. Department of Paediatric Surgery, Dow Medical College and Civil Hospital Karachi, from September 1997 to December 2003. Patients and All the patients with anterior hypospadias without or with minimal chordee were included. Patients with hypoplastic urethra or re-do surgery were excluded. Modified Mathieu repair was performed in all cases. The modifications used were interrupted inverting sutures of 5/0 polyglycolic acid for urethroplasty; neourethra covering with subcutaneous [dartos] pedicle flap, developed from the preputial or penile shaft skin and dorsal / anterior meatotomy for meatal stenosis. A total of 69 patients with anterior hypospadias were operated using modified Mathieu's repair. Only two patients [2.89%] developed urethrocutaneous fistula. Five patients developed partial devitalisation of the covering skin while one patient had complete breakdown. Modified Mathieu's procedure is an effective method, to repair the anterior hypospadias without or with minimal chordee

RESUMO

This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Civil Hospital, Karachi on all patients with rectal prolapse who underwent sclerotherapy [ST] alone or in combination with Thiersch ligature from April 1994 to December 2003, to assess the efficacy of sclerotherapy in rectal prolapse [RP] and the role of combination of ST with Thiersch ligature[TL] in refractory cases. Out of the 104 patients that underwent sclerotherapy, 69 were males and 35 females, with an age range between 13 months to 12 years. After one session of sclerotherapy the cure rate was 86% [89 patients] and after second session 91% [95 patients], the remaining nine patients responded to Thiersch ligature with 3rd session of sclerotherapy. Postoperative complications were minimal. It is therefore concluded that sclerotherapy is a cheap, safe and effective method of treatment for paediatric rectal prolapse not responding to conservative treatment

RESUMO

A prospective study was conducted on 13 patients with mid and distal penile hypospadias [without chordee] to study the out come of Onlay Island Flap repair in the Department of Paediatric Surgery of Dow Medical College and Civil Hospital Karachi from July 1997 to August 2003. Excellent cosmetic results were obtained in 12 patients. Only one patient developed urethrocutaneous fistula, which was successfully repaired. It is, therefore, concluded that the onlay island flap technique is a very good procedure for midpenile hypospadias without chordee and in patients with distal penile hypospadias with deficient ventral skin

RESUMO

To examine the role of laparoscopy in the evaluation of the non-palpable testes. Design: A descriptive study. Setting: The study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Dow Medical College and Civil Hospital Karachi, some of the private hospitals from July 1997 to July 2003 and Pediatric Surgical unit B, National Institute of Child Health, Karachi, from January 2001 to July 2003. Patients And All the patients with impalpable testes had ultrasound examination and were evaluated laparoscopically. Twenty patients with 25 impalpable testes were seen during the study period. Ultrasound examination was inconclusive in all cases. Laparoscopic examination was helpful in the diagnosis of presence or absence of impalpable testes in all cases. Laparoscopy is a safe reliable and effective method for the evaluation of impalpable testes

RESUMO

To identify and record the number and type of epididymal abnormalities [EA] associated with undescended testis and its correlation with the location of the testis. Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration: Department of Pediatric Surgery, Dow Medical College and Civil Hospital, Karachi Patients And All patients with undescended testis operated in this unit from September. 1997 to October 2003 were included. Clinical data and surgical findings were recorded. A new method of classification for the anomalies was employed to make comparison between various studies easy and meaningful. A total of 107 testes in 97 patients were operated. Epididymal anomalies were found with 37 testes. Obstructive anomalies were found with 19 testes and non obstructive anomalies were found with 18 testes. Obstructive anomalies were more frequent with the testes located high up in the inguinal canal or intra-abdominally. Undescended testes that are non-palpable and located high up are more likely to have associated epididymal anomalies causing obstruction to the sperm conducting pathway
