[Surgical treatment of developmental anomalies of the gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis in children]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie anomalii razvitiia zhelchnogo puzyria i khronicheskogo kholetsistita u detei.

The authors report on the diagnosis, therapeutic tactics, the results of morphological studies, and the late-term results of surgery for developmental anomalies of the gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis with organic disorders of bile drainage in 53 children aged from 5 to 15 years. The findings of morphological studies showed that among the causes of impaired bile drainage developmental anomalies of the gallbladder were encountered much more frequently than chronic cholecystitis. Indications for operation were developed on the basis of clinical data and the results of auxiliary methods of examination. Clinical, radiological, and morphological comparisons showed these indications to be well-founded. The immediate and late-term results of surgical management of developmental anomalies of the gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis with organic disorders of bile drainage confirm the expediency of active surgical tactics in the presence of the proper indications.

The anatomical structure of the upper and lower segments of the esophagus and tracheoesophageal fistula in esophageal atresia in newborn in newborn infants conditions the clinical picture, character of surgical intervention and postoperative course. The gravity of pneumonic changes in the lung is dependent not only on terms of child's admission, but also on the width of esophagotracheal fistula, while bifurcation fistulas, sometimes, cause diagnostic erros.
