[Diagnosis and treatment of pancreas ectopy in the gastric wall in children].

The authors describe 6 children with pancreas ectopy to the gastric wall. Their age was between 8 and 14 years. The main clinical and endoscopic signs were: prolonged pain, dyspepsia and a "polyp" in pyloroantral part of the stomach. In 4 of 6 children the pancreas ectopy to the gastric wall was suspected. All patients had been operated on. The indications for surgery were the following: severe pain with no effect of conservative therapy, suspicion for "polyp" malignancy and ulceration, bleeding. In one patient Bilroth-1 resection has been performed and in 2 cases sectoral dissection of the gastric wall pancreatic ectopy has been done. In 3 patients enucleation of the ectopic pancreas was performed. All patients had ineventful postoperative period. The pancreas ectopy in children is an indication for the surgery because of severe pain and possibility of severe complications. The surgery relieves pain and provides recovery.

[Subdiaphragmatic abscesses in children].

At the clinic of pediatric surgery of the Sverdlovsk Medical Institute 30 children aged from 3 to 14 years were treated for subdiaphragmatic abscesses in 1979-1989. In 27 of them the abscesses occurred in 6 days to 6 months after an emergency operation. The largest group (19 children) was formed of patients who underwent operation for destructive appendicitis and peritonitis. The subdiaphragmatic abscess was found on the left side in 16 (53.3%) and on the right side in 14 (46.6%) cases. In 11 (36.6%) patients in was combined with abscesses of other localization. X-ray and ultrasonic studies and, occasionally, computed tomography were used along with clinico-laboratory methods in establishing the diagnosis of subdiaphragmatic abscesses. Operations were performed on 29 patients. One patient was treated by puncture followed by drainage of the abscess after Seldinger. The choice of the approach was determined by the localization of the abscess. The intraperitoneal approach was used in 11 cases (36.6%), Klermon's extraperitoneal approach in 16 (53.3%), Melnikov's extrapleural approach in 2, and the posterior retropleural approach in one case. Complex intensive therapy was applied in the postoperative period. Among the 30 patients one died from sepsis and developed polyorganic insufficiency.

[Rehabilitation of children with external intestinal fistula].

Experience in the treatment of 153 children with external intestinal fistulas is discussed. In 6 children the intestinal fistulas occurred as the result of a pyodestructive process in the abdominal cavity, in 147 children they were formed for therapeutic purposes. The choice of the method of treatment is individual and is determined by the character of the fistula. A magneto-++-compressive inter-intestinal++ anastomosis (MCIA) was formed for exclusion of the intestinal fistulas. Under conditions of peritonitis in gun-barrel enterostomy intraoperative formation of the MCIA can be undertaken. The method was applied in 21 children, no complications occurred. In closure of gun-barrel enterostomy an operative method was elaborated with preservation of the greater part of the magneto-++-compressive anastomosis.
