[Experience in performance of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in 60 children].

The Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has radically changed the handling of the children with nutritional problems that until then were forced to receive nutritionals contributions by parenteral or enteral way, by nasogastric tube, conventional surgical gastrostomy or by central venous access. The objective of this work was to evaluate our experience with 60 patients, with diverse pathologies, that needed a PEG so that they could receive a suitable nutritional contribution. Were registered data of age, sex, reason for the accomplishment of the PEG, used surgical time, days of hospital stay and we analyzed the complications derived from the technique. There were two important complications. In one case one was a patient who presented a gastrocolic fistula as a result of the perforation of the colon in the accomplishment of the PEG and in another case a necrotizing fascitis in a girl who presented a choanal bilateral atresia. The rest of the complications were minor and they were treated without problems. The complications have been comparable to the registered in other series. Although the technique is simple and fast, is not free of risks, reason why it is necessary to inform suitably to the parents of the possibility of complications. In general, the degree of satisfaction of the parents was high.

[ Pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor in a child].

The Inflammatory Pseudotumor is a no neoplastic process characterised by an irregular growth of inflammatory cells. A case of 10 years old male is described, he was asymptomatic, diagnosed by a casual chest XR, with a spheric mass in the inferior lobe of the right lung. An excisional biopsy was done with the result of "Inflammatory Pseudotumor". The Inflammatory Pseudotumor is a rare process that can be found in different regions of the human body, with most frequent localization, in the lung. The image tests are not specific for the diagnosis that only can be done by biopsy. The recommended treatment is the complete resection.

[Independent intestinal duplication].

Some types of intestinal duplication are an infrequent clinical condition in the gastroenterology tract that do not meet all classic requisites for their definition. We present a case of independent intestinal duplication from small intestine that starts with acute abdomen; cystic, perforated and separated tumor from wall of normal intestine was founded during surgery. It was totally resected with preservation of normal intestine adjacent, because it was an independent vascular supply. We review a new vascular classification of intestinal duplication and their importance in surgical treatment of this matter.

Femoral hernia in childhood: review of 38 cases.

Femoral hernias rarely occur at any age, but are extremely rare in infancy. We present 38 cases of femoral hernia treated in our pediatric surgery department during the last 15 years. The number of patients who underwent surgery was high compared with other series reviewed. This might be due to the fact that these hernias were considered in the differential diagnosis of inguinal pathology in childhood. The preoperative diagnosis was correct in 22 cases (57. 8%). After surgical treatment no recurrence was reported.

[Post-traumatic cholelithiasis].

A 5 year old patient, without any lithogenic antecedent, suffered a trauma, resulting in a shrunken fracture of the left parietal bone, and a splenic parenchymal hematoma. A hemoperitoneum developed at the 3rd postoperation day, with an overall blood loss of 15% of the total blood volume. At the 6th day a well formed biliary calculi was detected in the gallbladder. As the patient remain asymptomatic related to his cholelithiasis, an ultrasound follow-up was instituted. At 3 month postinjury all biliary stones dissolved completely. In this report, the etiopathogenic factors responsible of stone formation in the biliary tree, and current therapeutic recommendations are reviewed.

[Laparoscopy in pediatric surgery].

The aim of this paper is to show our experience in Laparoscopic Surgery in the pediatric age. We make a review of 37 patients, in whom we carried out a laparoscopy. In 20 (54%) the laparoscopy was therapeutic: 15 appendectomies, 1 cholecystectomy, 1 ventriculo-peritoneal catheter extraction, 1 ovarian cyst, 1 bilateral oophorectomy and 1 adhesiolysis. In others 17 (46%) was diagnostic: 15 hepatic biopsies, 1 intussusception and 1 abdominal mass biopsy. Of 15 appendectomies, 8 were for acute appendicitis and 7 for chronic process. The age have ranged from 1 month to 18 years. The operative time from 2 h 30 min to 35 min. We had not complications and the average hospital stay was of 2 days. We can say that this is an useful technique in pediatric surgery.

[The histopathological diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease. Our experience over 18 years].

Having had several cases of difficult interpretation from the anatomopathological point of view, we make a review of all intestinal biopsies carried out in 54 patients for diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease and above all of the suction rectal biopsies. The result has been seven cases with false diagnosis that represents 22 per 100 of the series. We analyse the possible causes that can lead to false positives and negatives results with the suction rectal biopsy, like the height where the biopsy has been taken, the age of the patients (71 per 100 of false results were in children under one month) and finally other diagnosis like hyperganglionisme.

[Pygopagus Siamese twins. Surgical treatment].

A case is presented wherein a set of black female pygopagus siamese twins were successfully separated by our department in their 45th day of life. Both twins had multiple malformations: cardiopulmonary, vertebral, anorectal, genitourinary, etc. The bilateral renal absence in one of them, originated her death on the 7th postoperative day. Only nine other cases have been referred successful during the last 35 years, in a bibliographic review conducted. The associated malformations and surgical skills for treatment and separation of them, are studied: previous colostomy and effective separation at life ages, comprised between one and thirteen months.

[Meckel's diverticulum in children. A series of cases over 16 years].

The authors review 45 cases of patients with Meckel's Diverticulum, 28 were symtomatics and 17 asymtomatics. DM symtomatics were more frequent in males 3:1 and usually the diagnosis was made between 0 and 4 years of age. 85% apared with rectal bleeding, diverticulitis and intestinal obstruction. Near all cases with rectal bleeding and diverticulitis were associated with heterotopic mucosa (90%). The best method of diagnosis is the Tc-99 pertechnetate scan although it has been used in small number of cases because of the emergency. The results have been goods except one death, two intestinal obstructions and two wound infections.
