ABSTRACT

Introducción. La apendicitis del muñón es la inflamación del tejido apendicular remanente tras la apendicectomía después de un periodo de tiempo variable. Es una patología de muy rara aparición con escasez de casos publicados en niños, de ahí su relevancia clínica, en la cuál el retraso en el diagnóstico puede conllevar una morbilidad elevada. Caso clínico. Niña de 10 años de edad intervenida de apendicitis flemono-gangrenosa por vía laparoscópica que, a los 45 días de la intervención presenta un nuevo cuadro clínico compatible con apendicitis aguda. Se practica ecografía y TAC abdominal que confirman la sospecha diagnóstica de apendicitis del muñón. Se interviene nuevamente por vía laparoscópica y se reseca el resto del muñón apendicular, con una evolución posterior favorable y sin nuevas complicaciones. Comentarios. El interés de este caso es presentar esta patología tan poco frecuente, especialmente en pediatría, así como el tratamiento y la forma de prevenir dicha complicación recalcando la importancia de la correcta identificación de la base apendicular o unión ceco-apendicular en la cirugía inicial de la apendicitis


Introduction. Stump appendicitis is the remaining appendicular tissue inflammation after a variable length of time. It is a very infrequent pathology with a paucity in pediatric publications, and given the fact that a delay in its diagnosis could lead to an increased morbidity, this is the reason of its clinical relevance. Clinical case. A 10 years old girl who had laparoscopic excision of a flemonous-gangrenous appendicitis and who 45 days after surgery showed new clinical symptoms compatible with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Abdominal ultrasound and CAT scans were suggestive of stump appendicitis. On a second laparoscopic operation, the rest of the stump was removed with full recovery and without complications. Comments. What is interesting about this case is to describe this rarely seen pathology, especially in paediatrics, as well as the treatment and the prevention of such complication highlighting the importance of the correct identification of the appendicular base o caecum-appendicular union in the initial surgery

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. El tránsito gastrointestinal con contraste hidrosoluble se utiliza desde hace años en el tratamiento de las obstrucciones intestinales por adherencias (OIA) en adultos. Nuestro objetivo es comparar un grupo de niños con OIA tratados con contraste hidrosoluble con un grupo control. Material y métodos. Realizamos un estudio de casos y controles que incluye pacientes con antecedentes de cirugía abdominal y OIA entre 2008 y 2013. Los controles fueron tratados de forma conservadora o cirugía según evolución y los casos admitidos como OIA a partir de diciembre de 2012 se les aplicó tratamiento con contraste hidrosoluble. La variable principal es la necesidad de cirugía y las variables secundarias, la estancia hospitalaria y las complicaciones. Resultados. Se han recogido 20 controles y 8 casos. La necesidad de cirugía en el grupo control ha sido del 50% y del 25% en los casos tratados con contraste (p > 0,05). La estancia hospitalaria en el grupo control ha sido de 6 días frente a 4 días en el grupo a estudio (p > 0,05). Se han observado un 20% de complicaciones entre los controles y ninguna complicación en los casos. Conclusiones. Aunque no hemos encontrado diferencias significativas debido al pequeño tamaño de la muestra, sí se ha observado una tendencia de menor necesidad de cirugía en los casos tratados con contraste hidrosoluble. Nuestra experiencia preliminar sugiere que el contraste hidrosoluble puede ser una alternativa eficaz y sin complicaciones en el tratamiento de la oclusión intestinal por adherencias en niños, por lo que proponemos la realización de un estudio multicéntrico para aumentar la muestra y poder definir conclusiones más certeras


Objective. The water-soluble contrast has shown its effectiveness for the resolution of adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) in adults. The objective of this study is to compare the value of water-soluble contrast in children with SBO versus control group. Methods. We conducted a case-control trial. Patients with a history of abdominal surgery and SBO diagnosed between 2008 and 2013 were included as controls. Conservative treatment or surgery depending on clinical evolution was performed in control group. The patients with SBO diagnosed from December 2012 were treated with water-soluble contrast. The main variable was the number of patients requiring surgery and the hospital stay and complications were the secondary variable. Results. Twenty controls and 8 cases were admitted with SBO. Surgery was required in 50% of control group patients and 25% in the contrast group (p > 0.05). The hospital stay length was 6 days in control group versus 4 days in study group (p > 0.05). No complications were attributed to the use of water-soluble contrast and 20% of complications happened in control group. Conclusions. The need for surgery was lower in study group but not statically significant due to the small size of the sample. We concluded that water-soluble contrast is safe and effective in the management of SBO in children. We propose a multicentre study

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. La gastrostomía percutánea endoscópica (PEG) es el método de elección para la colocación de gastrostomías en niños. En los últimos años se ha diseñado un sistema PEG para la colocación del botón en un solo tiempo (PEG-B). Este sistema ofrece algunas ventajas respecto la PEG clásica aunque el riesgo potencial de complicaciones es mayor. El objetivo de este trabajo es exponer nuestra experiencia con la PEG-B. Material y métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de los pacientes pediátricos en los que se ha utilizado el sistema PEG-B durante el año 2013 en el Hospital Universitario Son Espases de Palma de Mallorca. Se recogieron datos demográficos, indicaciones, inicio del uso de la gastrostomía, estancia hospitalaria, complicaciones tempranas y tardías. Resultados. Se intervinieron 8 pacientes, con edades entre los 8 meses y los 14 años. Las indicaciones fueron: patología neurológica en 4 pacientes, metabolopatías en 3 y tumores en 1. El rango de peso fue de 5,5 a 36 kg con una mediana de 12,4 kg. Se colocaron botones de 16 Fr con longitud ajustada a cada paciente. La gastrostomía se comenzó a usar entre las 4-48 horas. La estancia media fue de 43,5 horas (24-72 h). No se han presentado complicaciones mayores con un seguimiento medio de 6 meses. Se produjeron un neumoperitoneo postoperatorio y dos granulomas, uno en uno de los puntos de anclaje de la gastrostomía. Conclusiones. Aunque es una serie pequeña y con poco tiempo de seguimiento, no se ha producido ninguna complicación mayor y los resultados son comparables a los publicados, tanto con la técnica PEG-B como la técnica de PEG en dos tiempos. Creemos que la PEG-B es una buena opción para la colocación de una gastrostomía en niños porque evita un segundo procedimiento


Objectives. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the preferred method for the placement of a gastrostomy in children. In recent years a system to perform a button gastrostomy in one step has been designed (PEG-B). This system offers advantages over classical PEG although the potential risk of complications is greater. The aim of this paper is to present our experience with PEG-B. Methods. Retrospective review of pediatric patients who have received the PEG-B system during 2013 in Hospital Universitario Son Espases, Palma de Mallorca. Parameters analyzed included demographics, indications, feeding start, length of hospital stay and complications. Results. A total of 8 patients, aged 8 months to 14 years, were included in the study. Indications were neurologic disease in 4 patients, metabolic disorders in 3 and tumors in 1. The weight range was 5.5 to 36 kg with a median of 12.4 kg. 16 Fr buttons were placed with length adjusted to each patient. The use of the gastrostomy started between 4-48 hours. The average length of hospital stay was 43.5 hours (24h-72h). There have been no major complications in 6 months follow up. A single pneumoperitoneum occurred postoperatively and two granulomas, one of them at one of the anchor points of the gastrostomy. Conclusions. Although it is a small series, no major complications were found and results are comparable to results published in the surgical literature in both techniques. We believe that the PEG-B is a good choice for PEG placement in children

ABSTRACT

We present twelve cases of cystic lymphangioma in the neck and one in the leg, treated with fibrina adhesive injected into the lesion, during the periode 1991-1994. Two cases had been surgically treated and experimental recurrence of the tumor previous to our treatment. In the other ten the punction was the only therapy applied. Four cases needed two punctions and only one of then after two failed punctions, had be treated with surgical extripation. The follow up was between 3 and 42 months, with a mean of 26.5 months. No complications appeared. The ecografic follow up demonstrated a complete remission in the ten cases treated only with punction. We believe that our results support the fact that the punction-aspiration and posterior Tissucol infection is the first choice in the surgical treatment of the cystic lymphangioma.
