Abstract

The Davis procedure is a modification of Indiana pouch, using a stapling technique and a right colon segment. The ileo-caecal valve is reinforced in a slightly different way from the Indiana procedure, but the terminal ileum is similarly tapered. An umbilical stoma is created since many patients are obese and the umbilicus is the thinnest part of the abdominal wall. The technique has been used in 22 patients, and there have been few complications. Continence is generally excellent, but patients tend to leak at capacity (this, however, indicates to patients when they should catheterize). Overall patient satisfaction is excellent.

Reconstruction of bladder and urethra using ileocecal segment and appendix in patients with exstrophy-epispadias complex: the first report of a new surgical approach.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe our experience in administering an innovative surgical technique to treat pediatric cases of exstrophy-epispadias complex. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 1995 and 2004, seven consecutive patients (six males) with exstrophy-epispadias complex were treated using ileocecal segment for bladder augmentation and appendix for urethral reconstruction. In a single-stage operation, the exstrophied bladder was dissected- and a segment of cecum, ascending colon, terminal ileum, and the corresponding appendix were isolated. Using the opened colon to augment the bladder, the ileal segment was fashioned to skin as temporary stoma, and the appendix was laid in the urethral lumen as the neourethra following urethral demucosation. This technique was used as a secondary surgery in one case and as a primary surgery in six neonates. Evaluation of the urinary tract status was performed by cystograms and ultrasonograms. RESULTS: Renal function was saved in all cases and continence was achieved by clean intermittent catheterization every two hours either via the neourethra (n = 6) or through the temporary stoma (n = 1). The patients did not experience any metabolic complications in their follow-ups. Moreover, no one had vesicourethral reflux, dehiscence, or fistula. CONCLUSIONS: The technique was deemed safe with acceptable outcomes even when secondary repair of previously failed operation was intended. Experiencing the technique in larger cohorts as well as longer follow-ups might be necessary to assess probable long-term complications.

Appendicovesical fistula associated with Hirschsprung's disease.

Appendicovesical fistulae are rare. Only 112 cases in all ages have been reported previously in the world literature. Our case is that of a 1-year-old boy who presented during the neonatal period with missed appendiceal perforation associated with a long segment Hirschsprung's disease. The case is discussed.

Incidence of visualization of the normal appendix on different MRI sequences.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the incidence of visualization of the normal appendix on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the pelvis in a large adult population and to compare the yield of commonly used sequences. Pelvic MRI scans of 111 randomly selected patients were retrospectively reviewed by two fellowship-trained body imagers. Thirty-six cases, where the entire cecum and terminal ileum were not included in the field of view, were excluded. A normal appendix was definitively visualized in 55 of 71 patients on T1 spin echo (SE) sequences (78%). The appendix was seen on 25 of 42 (60%) half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin echo T2. Visualization rates were 42% on pre-gadolinium T1 FS GRE, 54% on post-gadolinium T1 fat-suppressed gradient echo, and 17% of short tau inversion recovery sequences. MRI is an effective modality for visualization of the normal appendix. This may have important implications in patients with abdominal or pelvic pain, as visualization of a normal appendix should exclude the possibility of acute appendicitis from the differential diagnosis.
