ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Recurrent abdominal pain is defined as > 3 episodes of abdominal pain accompanied by affectation of the daily activity, during > 3 months. Our objective is to analyze the role of diagnostic and/or therapeutic laparoscopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive, retrospective study from 2004 to 2016. Patients: <14 years with DAR who underwent laparoscopy. Variables: age, sex, history, surgical findings, histology and follow-up. RESULTS: 55 patients. Mean age: 10.7 years. Female 63, 6%. Probability of allergic comorbidity: 27.27% [16.138-40.962] (CI 95%). Probability of subsequent psychological comorbidity: 12.72% [5.27 -24.48] (95% CI). Histological changes 31/55 (56.36%): lymphoid nodular hyperplasia 10/31, appendicular inflammation 7/31, fecalite 3/31, carcinoid tumor 1/31, appendicular fibrosis 3/31, Meckel diverticulum 1/31, association of several of the above 8/31. Macroscopic alterations 31/55 (56.36%): appendicular pathology 10/31, adhesions 5/31, lymph nodes 2/31, ileitis 2/31, tubal cysts 1/31, Meckel 1/31 diverticulum, several of the previous ones 10/31. Remission of symptoms: 30/55 (54.54%). In some cases, with partial improvement (4/55) or persistence of symptoms (21/55), organic and/ or psychological cause was demonstrated (16/25). CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent abdominal pain seems to have a significant association with an allergic or psychological history. Exploratory laparoscopy is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic technique.


INTRODUCCION Y OBJETIVOS: El dolor abdominal recurrente (DAR) supone > 3 episodios de dolor abdominal acompañados de afectación de la actividad diaria, durante > 3 meses. Nuestro objetivo es analizar el papel de la laparoscopia diagnóstica y/o terapéutica. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo desde 2004 hasta 2016. Pacientes < 14 años con DAR a los que se les practicó laparoscopia. Variables: edad, sexo, antecedentes, hallazgos quirúrgicos, histología y evolución. RESULTADOS: 55 pacientes. Media de edad: 10,7 años. Mujeres 63, 6%. Probabilidad de comorbilidad alérgica: 27,27% [16,138- 40,962] (I.C 95%). Probabilidad de comorbilidad posterior psicológica: 12,72% [5,27 -24,48] (I.C 95%). Alteraciones histológicas 31/55 (56,36%): hiperplasia nodular linfoide 10/35, inflamación apendicular 7/31, fecalito 3/31, tumor carcinoide 1/31, fibrosis apendicular 3/31, divertículo de Meckel 1/31, asociación de varios de los anteriores 8/31. Alteraciones macroscópicas 31/55 (56,36%): patología apendicular 10/31, bridas 5/31, adenopatías 2/31, ileítis 2/31, quistes tubáricos 1/31, divertículo de Meckel 1/31, varios 10/31. Remisión: 30/ 55 (54,54%). En algunos casos con mejoría parcial (sin desaparición completa del dolor) (4/55) o persistencia de síntomas (21/55) se demostró causa orgánica y/o psicológica (16/25). CONCLUSIONES: El dolor abdominal recurrente parece presentar una asociación significativa con antecedentes alérgicos o psicológicos. La laparoscopia exploradora supone una técnica diagnóstica y terapéutica.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The defecation disorders represents the 3% of consultations in pediatrics patients. Our goal was to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the reeducation of the defecation maneuver through home training in patients with encopresis and sphincter dyssynergia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Study of patients with fecal incontinence treated with home training at our center between 2014-2015. Anorectal manometry was performed and was valued defecation maneuver by expulsion of rectal probe with or without the ball. Daily sessions were performed using a Foley catheter (18-20Fr.) with progressive filling of the balloon, maximum 20cc. The response to the treatment was assessed in terms of episodes of soiling. RESULTS: Seven patients (6 males and 1 female) with a mean age of 9.7 years (range, 5-15) were included; two patients with anorectal malformation history, 1 Hirschsprung disease, 1 sacrococcygeal teratoma and 3 functional encopresis. Three patients had soiling episodes daily and 4 patients frequently. The mean basal pressure of anal channel was 32.34mmHg (range, 11.74-50.75) with negative defecation maneuver in 2 cases, deficient in 3 and dyssynergic in 2 patients. The mean time of biofeedback therapy to be asymptomatic was 5.14 months (range, 2-11), with a mean of 16.14 months (range, 3-24), with the 7 patients currently maintained clean. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that re-education of defecation maneuver through home training, seems to be an effective and efficient therapy, achieving excellent results in medium term.


OBJETIVO: Los trastornos de la defecación representan el 3% de las consultas en pediatría. Nuestro objetivo fue demostrar la eficacia y eficiencia de la reeducación en la maniobra defecatoria mediante el entrenamiento domiciliario en los pacientes con encopresis y disinergia esfinteriana. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Estudio de los pacientes con encopresis tratados mediante entrenamiento domiciliario en nuestro centro entre 2014-2015. Se realizó manometría anorrectal y fue valorada la maniobra defecatoria mediante la expulsión o no de la sonda rectal con o sin balón. Se realizaron sesiones diarias de forma domiciliaria empleando una sonda de Foley (18-20 Fr.) con llenado progresivo del balón, máximo 20 cc. Se evaluó la respuesta al tratamiento en función de la presencia de manchado. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 7 pacientes (6 varones y 1 mujer) con edad media de 9.7 años (rango, 5-15); dos con antecedente de malformación anorrectal, una enfermedad de Hirschsprung, 1 teratoma sacrococcígeo y 3 encopresis funcionales. Tres pacientes presentaban manchado diario y 4 de forma frecuente. La media de presión basal del canal fue de 32,34 mmHg (rango, 11,74-50,75) con maniobra defecatoria negativa en 2 casos, deficiente en 3 y disinérgica en 2. La media de tiempo realizando el entrenamiento intestinal hasta lograr estar asintomáticos fue 5.14 meses (rango, 2-11), con un seguimiento medio de 16,14 meses (rango, 3-24), manteniéndose limpios actualmente los 7 pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: El presente estudio sugiere que la reeducación de la maniobra defecatoria mediante entrenamiento domiciliario parece ser una terapia eficaz y eficiente, logrando excelentes resultados a medio plazo.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Barium enema was the first method used for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease, with the appearance of anorectal manometry and its combination with rectal suction biopsy, barium enema has lost value as a diagnosis method but it has also gain importance to decide the surgical technique that will be used for the correction of the disease. AIM: To determine the correlation between the length of the affected segment showed by barium enema valued and the length of the removed piece. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have studied all Hirschsprung disease's cases diagnosed and treated in our center since 1998, 127 patients underwent Soave-Boley's technique and 51 De La Torre's descent technique. Routinely preoperative barium enema was performed in all cases and determine the location of the transition zone and compared with the aganglionic segment's length specified by pathologist. RESULTS: At 90% of cases the transition zone could be seen at barium enema, it's most common location was rectosigmoid. After statistically analysis the length measured at radiology tests and the length of the anatomic piece showed a low correlation (kappa index 0.0159), being highest values at rectosigmoid transition and very low values at long affected segments. CONCLUSIONS: Barium enema in Hirschsprung's disease is valuable to decide the best surgical technique in each singular case but not to determine the exact length of affected segments. In case of a aganglionic long-segment suspicion, biopsies may be necessary to determinate preoperative length of affected segments.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: There are many observational studies about the incidence of metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia (MIH). Metaanalysis allows to resume the results of individual studies in one with a higher level of evidence. AIM: to know the incidence of MIH in order to decide the contralateral exploration. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We do an extensive bibliographic review in Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central. Data analysis is done with RevMan 4.2. RESULTS: 632 abstracts were screened by only one revisor who selected 27 studies: 17802 inguinal hernias and 1209 MIH. Follow up is between 6 months and 10 years. Due to high heterogeneity, a randomized effect analysis (Der Simonian and Lard) is done. The incidence of MIH is 6,96% (6,07-7,85); 14 hernia must be operated to avoid one MIH (NNT). If the original side of the hernia is left, the probability of MIH is 1.81 times higher (NNT =10). The secondary analysis indicates that there is no important publication bias. CONCLUSIONS: Rutinary bilateral inguinal exploration is not justified. Only in high anaesthetic risk patients, bilateral exploration should be suggested.

ABSTRACT

El gold-standard para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Hirschsprunges la biopsia rectal por succión (BRS), pero no debería aplicarse antes del mes de vida. Presentamos un protocolo diagnóstico que permite el manejo neonatal de estos pacientes. Material y métodos. Estudio analítico retrospectivo de los resultados del protocolo en el cual se realiza una manometría rectal (MR)ante todo paciente con sospecha de EH con sondas de diseño propio. Si el resultado es positivo, se repiten semanalmente hasta el final del periodo neonatal, cuando se realiza la BRS. Resultados. 1980-2006 realizamos 503 registros en 391 pacientes, con una edad media al primer estudio de 15,86 días. En 54 casos se confirmó el diagnóstico de EH. La tasa de falsos negativos fue de 0,9%,con una sensibilidad del 99%. La tasa de estudios no válidos fue del 8%sin sedación, siendo menor (2,9%) con la sedación, presentando una OR=2,853 (p=0,008).Conclusiones. El protocolo de MR semanales aporta un diagnóstico de sospecha fiable que permite el manejo del paciente neonatal. Con la sedación de los pacientes se acorta el tiempo de estudio y se logran casi 3 veces más estudios válidos (AU)


Suction rectal biopsy (SRB) is the gold-standard for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung´s disease (HD), but may not be applied before the first month of age. We propose a diagnostic protocol that allows the management of these patients. Material and Methods. A retrospective analytic study is done, analysing the results of our protocol. A rectal manometry (RM) is done to any patient with clinical symptoms of HD. When first test is positive(no reflex), we practice a weekly RM till the end of the neonatal period when we propose the SRB for the confirmation of the diagnosis. Results. From 1980 to 2006 we have performed 503 tests in 391HD’s suspected neonates. Mean age in the first study was 15.19 days. In 54 cases, final diagnosis was EH. Rate of false-negative was 0.9%,sensibility 99%. Rate of non-usefull studies without sedation was 8%,being minor (2.97%) with sedation (OR=2.853; p=0.008).Conclusions. The protocol with a weekly RM allows the management of these patients because of a reliable diagnosis. Sedation has two positives effects: the reduction of the time of the study and the improvement of the results (AU)

ABSTRACT

AIM: To show our experience in urinary derivation by ureteral meatotomy associated with vesicostomy. METHODS: We reviewed uni or bilateral ureteral meatotomy associated with vesicostomy carried out in our institution between 1989 and 2006. We report 20 patients (15 boys and 5 girls) with ages ranging from 1 month to 13-years-old (median 4,4-years-olds). Nine (45%) had neuropathic bladder, 6 (30%) posterior urethral valves and 5 (25%) vesicoureteral stenosis. RESULTS: Improvement of the ureteral dilatation controlled by ultrasound was demonstrated in 100% of the patients. Improvement of the renal function was observed in the group of patients (5) with renal failure. COMPLICATIONS: 2 bladder prolapses, 1 calculus and 1 postoperative bladder bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: Ureteral meatotomy associated with vesicostomy is an effective urinary derivation in children with obstructive urological conditions with an important dilatation in which ureteral reimplantation seems to be difficult. This derivation avoids bladder dysfunction and the management of the vesicostomy is comfortable by the use of a bag or the nappies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Mostrar nuestra experiencia en la derivación urinaria mediante meatotomía ureteral uni o bilateral asociada a vesicostomía. Material y métodos. Hemos realizado un estudio retrospectivo sobre una serie de 20 pacientes (15 niños y 5 niñas), sometidos a meatotomíaureteral junto con vesicostomía cutánea en nuestro servicio, entre los años 1989 y 2006. La edad media fue de 4,4 años (1 mes-13años). Nueve pacientes (45%) presentaban vejiga neuropática (7 con reflujo vesicoureteral secundario), 6 niños (30%) válvulas de uretra posterior, 3 estenosis vésico-ureterales bilaterales y 2 unilaterales(25%).Resultados. En el 100% de los niños se observó disminución ecográfica de la dilatación ureteropielocalicial tras la derivación; 5 de los casos que presentaban alteración de la función renal, mejoraron tras la intervención, controlado mediante el aclaramiento de creatinina. Como complicaciones se produjo prolapso vesical por la ostomía en 2 pacientes, litiasis en 1 y sangrado vesical postoperatorio en 1.Conclusiones. La meatotomía ureteral asociada a vesicostomía cutánea es una opción válida en niños que presentan una uropatía obstructiva vesical o infravesical con importante dilatación del tracto urinario superior en los que la reimplantación ureteral no se considera que pueda tener éxito. Evita la desfuncionalización vesical y el manejo dela vesicostomía resulta cómodo con bolsa o pañal (AU)

ABSTRACT

Los episodios aparentemente letales (EAL) afectan a niños menores de un año y se caracterizan por la combinación de varios síntomas: apnea, cambio de coloración o de tono, tos o ahogamiento. En más de la mitad de estos niños se diagnostica una causa subyacente siendo el reflujo gastroesofágico una de las entidades más importantes a descartar. Objetivo. Demostrar la eficacia de la impedanciometría para el diagnóstico del reflujo gastroesofágico asociado a EAL en lactantes. Material y métodos. Se realiza manometría esofágica estacionaria para la localización del esfínter esofágico inferior y registro de 24 horas de pH e impedancia. Determinamos asociación reflujo gastroesofágico- EAL, y caracterización del tipo de reflujo que lo produce. Resultados. Se realiza estudio a 16 niños diagnosticados de EAL de entre 1 y 6 meses de edad(media 3,04 meses). Mediante pH metría, hemos diagnosticado una media de 23,40 episodios de reflujo (9,500-31,275, P25 y P75 respectivamente),mientras que con la realización de impedanciometría en número de reflujos obtenido es de 70,88 de media (60,25 - 80,00), siendo además posible diferenciar entre reflujos ácidos y no ácidos (36,21% y 63,78%cada uno). En tan sólo un paciente hemos hallado 4 episodios de apnea que se relaciona en todos los casos de manera estadísticamente positiva(SI >= 50%; SSI >= 10%) con reflujo gastroesofágico. Conclusiones• La impedanciometría esofágica es un método útil para el diagnóstico de reflujo en lactantes que presentan alcalinización del estómago la mayor parte del tiempo, permitiendo además, la diferenciación entre reflujos ácidos y no ácidos• Basándonos en nuestra muestra, los pacientes diagnosticados de EAL no presentan mayor tasa de reflujos gastroesofágicos que la población sana de la misma edad• Tan sólo en un paciente hemos encontrado relación estadísticamente significativa entre el reflujo y las apneas (AU)


Background. Apparent life threatening events (ALTE) affect children younger than one year. This syndrome is characterized by several symptoms: apnoea, change in colour or muscle tone, coughing or gagging. Approximately 50 percent of these children are diagnosed of an underlying pathology that explains the ALTEs, being gastroesophagealreflux one of the most important conditions to investigate. Aim. To demonstrate the effectiveness of intraluminal impedance technique for the diagnosis of the gastroesophageal reflux associated to ALTEs in infants. Material sand methods. Stationary esophageal manometric is used to define the low esophageal sphincter, a pH and impedance 24 hours was recorded. We determinate association between gastroesophageal reflux-ALTEs and characterisation of the reflux that occurs. Results. Intraluminal esophagealimpedance has been made to 16 children with the diagnosis of ALTEs between 1 and 6 months of age (mean of age 3.04 months). 23.4episodes of reflux (9,500-31,275, P25 and P75 respectively) have been diagnosed by pH metry whereas with impedance the number of reflux obtained were 70.88 (60.25 - 80.00), 36.21% acid and 63.78% weakly acidic. We have found 4 episodes of apnoea in one patient that seems to be connected with gastroesophageal reflux (3 non-acid and one acid event)in a statistically positive relation (SI >= 50%; SSI >= 10%).Conclusions.• Intraluminal gastroesophageal impedance is a useful method for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux in infants who present a gastricalkaline content most of time, allowing in addition, to differentiate between acid and non-acid reflux• According to our sample, the patients with the diagnosis of ALTEs do not present greater rate of gastroesophageal reflux than the healthy population of the same age• Only in one patient we have found a statistically significant relation between reflux and apnoea (AU)

ABSTRACT

Isolated Intestinal neuronal dysplasia is a disease characterized by symptoms of diarrhea or intestinal obstruction along with histopathologic diagnosis based on hyperplasia of submucous plexus with giant ganglia containing more than seven nerve cells, increased acetylcholinesterase activity in the lamina propria and around the submucosal blood vessels and heterotopic ganglia in the lamina propria. The aims of this study have been to determine the incidence of the congenital malformations associated with the isolated intestinal dysplasia type B (not associated to another anomaly of the enteric nervous system) and to correlate them with the severity of the symptoms and their possible familial involvement. We have retrospectively reviewed all the patients diagnosed with IND type B nonassociated to Hirschsprung's disease in our hospital from 1981 to 2002. Our serie consists of 44 cases, 1 for every 7500 newborn. 35% of the patients presented associated congenital anomalies, with digestive malformations being the most commonly found (20% of the total). 40% of the patients studied had previous history of constipation in the family. Onset of symptoms was detected in 75% of children during newborn period.

ABSTRACT

La displasia neuronal intestinal aislada es un cuadro caracterizado por síntomas de diarrea u obstrucción intestinal y con diagnóstico histoquímico basado en la hiperplasia del plexo submucoso con ganglios gigantes que contengan más de 7 células por ganglio, un aumento de la actividad acetilcolinesterasa en la lámina propia y alrededor de los vasos sanguíneos submucosos y la heterotopia de los ganglios en la lámina propia. Los objetivos de este estudio han sido determinar la incidencia de las malformaciones congénitas asociadas a la Displasia neuronal intestinal (DNI) tipo B aislada (no asociada a otra anomalía del sistema nervioso entérico) y correlacionarlas con la severidad de loas síntomas y su posible afectación familiar. Para ello seleccionamos todos los casos diagnosticados de DNI tipo B no asociada a Enfermedad de Hirschsprung en nuestro hospital entre 1981 y 2002. Nuestra serie consta de 44 casos, 1 por cada 7500 recién nacidos vivos, en los que 35% presentaron anomalías congénitas asociadas, siendo más frecuente (20% del total) las malformaciones digestivas. Los antecedentes familiares de estreñimiento aparecen en el 40% de los pacientes estudiados y el comienzo de la sintomatología fue en un 75% desde el momento del nacimiento (AU)

ABSTRACT

La patología más frecuente hoy en día en las unidades pediátricas de cirugía mayor ambulatoria son las hernias de la pared abdominal. Por ello pensamos que el objetivo principal de este trabajo era dar a conocer a pediatras y médicos de familia los datos clínicos, el tratamiento quirúrgico y el circuito asistencial de esta entidad eminentemente quirúrgica. Incluimos la hernia inguinal indirecta, la hernia umbilical, la hernia epigástrica, la hernia crural y, por último, la hernia ventral lateral o de Spiegel. Los puntos de controversia en cada una de las patologías, como son la revisión del lado contralateral en la hernia inguinal indirecta o el caso especial de los pacientes prematuros por la mayor probabilidad de apneas postoperatorias, son fruto, además de una extensa revisión bibliográfica, de la experiencia de un centro especializado de tercer nivel durante 35 años


Currently, abdominal wall hernias are the conditions most frequently treated in a pediatric ambulatory surgery unit. For this reason, in this paper, we proposed to provide a detailed report of the clinical data, surgical management and the treatment protocol associated with this surgical entity for pediatricians and general practitioners. We include indirect inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, ventral hernia, femoral hernia and, finally, Spiegelian hernia. The surgical exploration of the contralateral side in inguinal hernia and the special case of premature infants, because of the increased probability of postoperative apneas, seem to be the major points of controversy with respect to these entities. We have reviewed the literature extensively and the experience of our hospital over the last 35 years

ABSTRACT

A fit three months old male baby was admitted in our hospital with a history of massive painless fresh rectal bleeding. Blood transfusion, hemodynamic stabilization and emergency laparotomy were necessary because of the high suspect of Meckel's diverticulum as the cause of bleeding. It is an uncommon case due to the low age of the patient and the severity of clinical presentation.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un lactante varón de 3 meses, sin antecedentes de interés, que fue remitido a nuestro centro por rectorragia masiva indolora. Requirió transfusión sanguínea, estabilización hemodinámica y laparotomía urgente por alta sospecha de divertículo de Meckel como causa del sangrado. Se trata de un caso poco frecuente en la literatura debido a la corta edad del paciente y la severidad de la presentación clínica (AU)
