RESUMO

Background: The introduction of splenectomy in pediatric robotic surgery programs remains controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic assisted splenectomy (RAS) in children and compare its outcomes with the laparoscopic splenectomy (LAS). Method: A single institution retrospective study was performed (2011-2020). We used the minimally invasive splenectomy score described by Giza et al. to measure the level of technical difficulty. The data collected for each procedure included its duration, the need for blood transfusion, complications, analgesic use, and the length of hospital stay. A standard univariate analysis is applied. Results: We recorded 41 cases (26 LAS and 15 RAS). The mean age was 11 years [7.00; 13.5]. The operating time was 97 minutes [85.5-108] for LAS and 223 minutes [190-280] for RAS (P < .001). The length of stay was 6.50 days [5.00-8.00] for LAS and 5 days [5.00-5.50] for RAS (P = .055). The cumulative use of level III analgesic was not statically different (P = .29). Two cases of difficult splenectomy were found in each group with comparable performances. In the RAS, we demonstrated the improved outcomes with the progression of the learning curve of a single surgeon. Conclusions: In our experience (as in the literature), RAS remains safe, but offers no additional advantage compared to laparoscopy as the cost and the operating time are higher. Our study has the advantages of having a 9 years long evolving experience, including broad indications in comparison to other pediatric studies.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: With advances in surgical and neonatal care, the survival of patients with oesophageal atresia (OA) has improved over time. Whereas a number of OA-related conditions (delayed primary anastomosis, anastomotic stricture and oesophageal dysmotility) may have an impact on feeding development and although children with OA experience several oral aversive events, paediatric feeding disorders (PFD) remain poorly described in this population. The primary aim of our study was to describe PFD in children born with OA, using a standardised scale. The secondary aim was to determine conditions associated with PFD. METHODS: The Feeding Disorders in Children with Oesophageal Atresia Study is a national cohort study based on the OA registry from the French National Network. Parents of children born with OA between 2013 and 2016 in one of the 22 participating centres were asked to complete the French version of the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale. RESULTS: Of the 248 eligible children, 145 children, with a median age of 2.3 years (Q1-Q3 1.8-2.9, min-max 1.1-4.0 years), were included. Sixty-one children (42%) developed PFD; 13% were tube-fed (n=19). Almost 40% of children with PFD failed to thrive (n=23). The presence of chronic respiratory symptoms was associated with the development of PFD. Ten children with PFD (16%) had no other condition or OA-related complication. CONCLUSION: PFD are common in children with OA, and there is no typical profile of patients at risk of PFD. Therefore, all children with OA require a systematic screening for PFD that could improve the care and outcomes of patients, especially in terms of growth.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Respiratory diseases are common in children with esophageal atresia (EA), leading to increased morbidity and mortality in the first year. The primary study objective was to identify the factors associated with readmissions for respiratory causes in the first year in EA children. METHODS: A population-based study. We included all children born between 2008 and 2016 with available data and analyzed factors at birth and 1 year follow-up. Factors with a P value <.10 in univariate analyses were retained in logistic regression models. RESULTS: Among 1460 patients born with EA, 97 (7%) were deceased before the age of 1 year, and follow-up data were available for 1287 patients, who constituted our study population. EAs were Ladd classification type III or IV in 89%, preterm birth was observed in 38%, and associated malformations were observed in 52%. Collectively, 61% were readmitted after initial discharge in the first year, 31% for a respiratory cause. Among these, respiratory infections occurred in 64%, and 35% received a respiratory treatment. In logistic regression models, factors associated with readmission for a respiratory cause were recurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula, aortopexy, antireflux surgery, and tube feeding; factors associated with respiratory treatment were male sex and laryngeal cleft. CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory morbidity in the first year after EA repair is frequent, accounting for >50% of readmissions. Identifying high risk groups of EA patients (ie, those with chronic aspiration, anomalies of the respiratory tract, and need for tube feeding) may guide follow-up strategies.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Thoracotomy as surgical approach for esophageal atresia treatment entails the risk of deformation of the rib cage and consequently secondary thoracogenic scoliosis. The aim of our study was to assess these thoracic wall anomalies on a large national cohort and search for factors influencing this morbidity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pediatric surgery departments from our national network were asked to send recent thoracic X-ray and operative reports for patients born between 2008 and 2010 with esophageal atresia. The X-rays were read in a double-blind manner to detect costal and vertebral anomalies. RESULTS: Among 322 inclusions from 32 centers, 110 (34.2%) X-rays were normal and 25 (7.7%) displayed thoracic malformations, including 14 hemivertebrae. We found 187 (58.1%) sequelae of surgery, including 85 costal hypoplasia, 47 other types of costal anomalies, 46 intercostal space anomalies, 21 costal fusions and 12 scoliosis, with some patients suffering from several lesions. The rate of patients with these sequelae was not influenced by age at intervention, weight at birth, type of atresia, number of thoracotomy or size of the center. The rate of sequelae was higher following a classical thoracotomy (59.1%), whatever the way that thoracotomy was performed, compared to nonconverted thoracoscopy (22.2%; p=0.04). CONCLUSION: About 60 % of the patients suffered from a thoracic wall morbidity caused by the thoracotomy performed as part of surgical treatment of esophageal atresia. Minimally invasive techniques reduced thoracic wall morbidity. Further studies should be carried out to assess the potential benefit of minimally invasive approaches to patient pulmonary functions and on the occurrence of thoracogenic scoliosis in adulthood. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level III retrospective comparative treatment study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Alimentary tract duplications (ATD) are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in childhood. There are many case reports but few series about laparoscopy or thoracoscopy for ATD. The aim of our study was to report the outcome of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for ATD. METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter study from the GECI (Groupe d'Etude en Coeliochirurgie Infantile). We reviewed the charts of 114 patients operated on by MIS for ATD from 1994 to 2009. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients (54 %) had a prenatal diagnosis. Forty-nine patients (43 %) were symptomatic before surgery: 33 of those patients (63 %) with postnatal diagnosis compared to 16 (25 %) with prenatal diagnosis (P < 0.01). In this last group, the median age at onset of symptoms was 16 days (range = 0-972). One hundred and two patients had laparoscopy (esophageal to rectal duplications) and 12 patients had thoracoscopy for esophageal duplications. The mean operative time was 90 min (range = 82-98). There were 32 (28 %) resection anastomoses, 55 (48 %) enucleations, and 27 (24 %) unroofings. The conversion rate was 32 %, and in a multivariate analysis, it was significantly higher, up to 41 % for patients weighing <10 kg (P < 0.01). Ten patients (8 %) had unintentional perioperative opening of the digestive tract during the dissection. Eight patients had nine postoperative complications, including six small bowel obstructions. The median length of hospital stay was 4 days (range = 1-21) without conversion and 6 days (range = 1-27) with conversion (P = 0.01). The median follow-up was 3 months (range = 1-120). Eighteen of the 27 patients who underwent partial surgery had an ultrasound examination during follow-up. Five (18 %) of them had macroscopic residue. CONCLUSION: This study showed that MIS for ATD is feasible with a low rate of complications. Patients with prenatal diagnosis should have prompt surgery to prevent symptoms, despite a high rate of conversion in small infants.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to evaluate survival and ovarian prognosis in patients treated for ovarian germ cell tumor (OGCT) and to propose a decision-making protocol. METHODS: Charts of girls operated on for OGCT from 1976 up to 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Tumor characteristics were assessed by tumor markers, imaging, and pathology. RESULTS: Charts were available in 71 children presenting 75 OGCT. Tumors were benign in 58 cases and malignant in 17 cases. The average of the largest diameter of benign OGCT was significantly lower than that of malignant OGCT (76.5 +/- 49 mm versus 169 +/- 54 mm, P < .0001). Ovarian-sparing tumorectomy was carried out in 27 benign OGCT; 23 (85%) preserved ovaries were follicular. Malignant OGCTs were managed according to the protocols of the French Society for Pediatric Oncology. Bilateral oophorectomy had to be performed in 2 children. One patient presented a recurrence and 1 died. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, both benign and malignant OGCTs have a good prognosis. A 75-mm cutoff size is proposed as an important criterion to preoperatively differentiate between benign and malignant tumors. In benign OGCT, ovarian-sparing tumorectomy leads to preserve ovaries in approximately 85% of cases, and in malignant OGCT, high survival rate has been obtained.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Ovarian torsion in childhood and adolescence is a rare entity. Traditionally, treatment is oophorectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian outcome and to propose a decision-making protocol for suspected ovarian torsion. METHODS: Between January 1986 and December 2007, 45 ovarian torsion cases in 40 girls were operated on. In all the cases, when the ovary was preserved, patients were clinically and ultrasonographically followed up for several months. RESULTS: Median age was 11 years. Median delay between the first symptoms and surgical procedure was 3 days. There was a statistical difference (P = .0003) between the mean of the largest diameter of twisted normal ovary and the mean of the largest diameter of twisted diseased ovary. Underlying pathology was benign in 22 cases and low-grade malignancy in 2 (one grade II immature teratoma and one steroid cell tumor). Conservative management was performed in 26 cases. At follow-up, 17 ovaries were follicular, 7 being black-bluish during surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Conservative approach after detorsion of black-bluish ovaries is safe and effective in children. Although very unlikely, the fear of missing malignancy must incite to proceed with caution and can lead, when the size of the twisted ovary is greater than 75 mm, to prefer laparotomy to laparoscopy.
