[Treatment with Ethibloc of lymphangiomas and venous angiomas].

Lymphangioma and venous angioma are a group of pathological entities which have required surgical treatment since years. Extension, localization and poor delimitation of some lesions have resulted in technical difficulties and serious complications. Our group began the sclerosing therapy with an injection of fibrin adhesive and, due to the lack of response in the first patient, a program with Ethibloc as an alternative substance was developed. We present 10 cases, 4 lymphangiomas and 6 venous angiomas. In 50% of our patients one single session of sclerotherapy was made, in 25% two sessions, and in the rest 25% three. From 10 cases, 4 are still on treatment, complete remission in 5 cases, and good evolution in one case (mixed lymphangioma). As a long-term complication, we have noticed fistulization in 3 cases, and expulsion of the sclerosing agent. In our experience, percutaneous sclerosis with Ethibloc should be the first therapeutic alternative.

[Outcome of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis after pyloromyotomy].

Twenty four patients diagnosed and operated of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis were examined by ultrasonography at diagnostic and sequential after pyloromyotomy. We measured pyloric diameter, thickness and length of the muscle and we calculated the pyloric volume. The overall configuration of the pylorus is more important than specific pyloric dimensions for diagnosis. The pyloric volume is the most discriminating criterion. Sequential sonograms at one and four months showed that all measurements fell to normal levels within four weeks, except pyloric volume.

Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula treated with fibrin glue.

Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (RTF) after repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is a serious complication, with the need for a second operation. The mortality rate is high. The authors report on the eradication of RTF using fibrin glue.

[A new method for the measurement of the anatomical development of the muscle complex of the anus in children with anorectal malformations].

We present a new method for the measurement of the anorectal muscle complex. We studied 40 children with anorectal malformation (14 low and 16 high). Taking the perineal TAC with a rectal probe and quotient called "C": [formula: see text] A "C" value less than 0.31 indicates little development of the anus muscle complex. In 10/26 patients with high malformation, "C" was less than 0.31. All of these patients had fecal incontinence.

[Whole gut irrigation in pediatric patients: a comparative study].

The observation of hydroelectric and pH changes, as well as the diminishing incidence of postoperative infections in pediatric patients, subjected to digestive irrigation (D.I.) before surgery, was the reason for carrying out this paper, fundamentally directed at two objectives: Firstly, to determine the hydro-ionic and clinical repercussions by means of a comparative study of the two most used irrigations solutions and secondly, to analyze the modifications that the D.I., itself and with the addition of antibiotics, is capable of producing on the fecal flora and the intestinal mucous membrane. To realize our aim, a prospective and double blinded study was designed on 124 patients irrigated with a saline solution (S-I), or with the Golytely solution (S-II). The analysis of the results showed that exist a marked predisposition to metabolic acidosis and dehydration after irrigation with S-II, compared with a tendency towards hyperhydration and alkalosis after irrigation with S-I. The effect of flushing with D.I. is capable of producing a significant lowering in the number of germs/ml found in the contents of the colon; a reduction which increases for the anaerobic group (p less than 0.001), when the antibiotics are added to the irrigation solution. Neither of the studied cases gave evidence of histomorphologic alterations in the colonic mucosa after irrigation with erythromycin and neomycin base.

[The treatment of esophageal achalasia in children by endoscopic pneumatic dilatation. A report on 4 cases].

Four patients underwent pneumatic endoscopic dilatation of achalasia at the La Fe Children's Hospital have been studied. Endoscopic pneumatic dilatation has been performed in only one session with four dilatation maneuvers. In the absence of complications, the patients were only hospitalized for twenty-four hours. The effectiveness of endoscopic pneumatic dilatation and the safety of this method, its ease of application and possibility of repetition make it a useful method in the treatment of achalasia in children.

[Caustic burns of the stomach secondary to ingestion of acid in infants: importance of fibro-endoscopy].

Two cases of corrosive burns of the stomach after the ingestion of acid by children are presented. Both patients were the same sex and of a similar age (19 and 20 months). The chemical nature of the caustic substance ingested (hydrochloric acid) and the lack of initial symptoms were also similar. The clinical diagnosis however, was completely different due to the endoscopic finding of serious gastric lesions in one of the patients which were then treated accordingly. In children, the accidental ingestion of caustic acids is often accompanied by few clinical symptoms initially. This can lead to failure to diagnose correctly when symptoms are correlated with the existence and severity of digestive lesions. When a caustic substance has been ingested, in addition to symptoms, consideration of the acidity or alkalinity of the ingested product is also an important parametre in evaluating endoscopic findings.

[Laparoscopy in pediatrics].

Laparoscopy has been performed in 68 infants and children. In 50 cases of non-palpable testis; 7 cases of liver diseases; 4 cases of abdominal trauma; 7 cases for various other indications. In our experience, laparoscopy was a considerable advantage in the diagnosis and management of a number of pediatrics disorders.

[Postoperative obstructive abdominal complications in children].

In the pediatric surgical Department of the "Le Fe" Hospital, from January 1971 to December 1982 2,350 laparotomies were performed in neonates, infants and children. In 67 patients abdominal surgery was complicated by bowel obstruction for which a second laparotomy had to be performed. In 86.56%, of patients with obstruction (58 cases) this became obvious during the first three months after the previous operation. In 54 out of the 67 patients reviewed (80.59%), adhesions were the cause for obstruction and only twelve was this caused by an abscess.

[Treatment of portal hypertension in children].

Esophageal transection by means of an anastomotic clip or button is a simple and useful approach to the management of haemorrhage due to esophageal varices. We have used this technique in four cases (three Prioton clips, and one autosuture) and completed the procedure with periesophageal, left gastric and fundal veins ligation. The patients have been followed up for periods ranging between five months and six years. No one has rebled. Splenoportographic controls showed good results of disconnection, and endoscopic follow up revealed variceal cure. There was no GER and in one single case we had to dilate for mild stenosis. This is a simple and effective procedure for the control of variceal haemorrhage in the short and middle ranges, and can induce cure directing portal flow through other alternative ways.

[Inguinal hernia and testicular feminization in childhood (author's transl)].

Three cases of Morris Syndrome were detected among 103 girls admitted to the hospital for inguinal hernia. Diagnosis was made possible by routine sexual chromatine study in oral mucosa smear, but it can also be suspected when familial antecedents of amenorrhea exist. An early diagnosis of this condition is imperative in order to provide the patient with an adequate medical and surgical management, including the conservation of the gonads until pubertal age.

[Sequelae of necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns (author's transl)].

The authors report a new aspect of NEC which can be at the origin of symptoms appearing late in the clinical course. These sequelae, consisting of colic strictures, can be observed in all patients both medically and surgically treated. The five cases presented were observed among the 21 medically managed of which they represent 23.8%. None of the ten operated patients presented sequelae. All strictures were located in the colon, always in coincidence with the original topography of pneumatosis. Multiple strictures were observed in one patient.

[Local treatment of angiomas with corticoids (author's transl)].

The angiomas studied at the Clinica Infantil "La Fe" in a four and a half years period are reviewed. The different therapeutic approaches are considered. Thirteen cases selected at random have been treated with local injections of steroids, with a 84% satisfactory results. The technique seems to be simple and without complications. It is recommended in the management of the parotideal, small size, subcutaneous and those angiomas in which the therapy could be followed by sequelae and in those where other therapy has failed.
