Extrathoracic Lengthening (Kimura Technique)

2021

Treatment of congenital long gap esophageal atresia is extremely challenging. Cases are rare, variable, and oftentimes complex. Possible treatment options include delayed primary repair after initial gastrostomy, gastric transposition, intestinal interpositions, traction procedures, myotomy, and gastric tube techniques. Treatment strategies often consist of variations and combinations of different approaches.

Aortopexy in esophageal atresia: Long-term experience of a parent support group

2001

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to obtain the parents' view of aortopexy after esophageal atresia. Methods: A questionnaire was completed by the parents of 24 former patients, now aged from 1 to 15 years (average, 8.9; median, 9.0 years). The respondents were all members of a support group. Results: The median age of the patients receiving aortopexy was 4 months. The 24 procedures were performed in 16 different hospitals. The subjects had experienced a median of 3 apneic attacks. Technical complications occurred in 4 of the 24 children. In 71%, aortopexy was an immediate success. Conclusion: Despite its low success rate compared with centers with large cumulative experience, 90%…

Der Stellenwert der Sepsis nach Laparotomie im Kindesalter

1984

Laparotomy was performed on 579 children at the University Clinic of Paediatric Surgery in Mainz from 1.1.1975 to 31.12.1982. The children were up to 15 years of age; appendicitis or inguinal and umbilical hernia cases were not included. Postoperative sepsis occurred in 74 patients (12.8% of all children with laparotomy); in 51 cases positive bacteriological findings were seen besides the clinical and clinicochemical ones. Sepsis morbidity was particularly high in children who had not yet completed their first year of life (postoperative sepsis occurring in approximately every fourth infant); among the disease patterns, the following were particularly prominent: Defects of the abdominal wal…

CANDIDA SEPTIC THROMBOSIS OF THE LEFT ATRIUM IN TWINS: REPORT OF TWO CASES

2009

Background: Preterms are often exposed to nosocomial infections in NICU. Candida infections are particularly common and can result in progressive organization of intracardiac thrombosis, usually in the right atrium. Design and population: GB (24.4 wg, 460 g, bigeminal pregnancy): he was affected by RDS, PDA, jaundice, anaemia and had been submitted to TPN with CVC, also because of anus imperforate. On the 50th day, haemoculture resulted positive for Candida parapsilosis and, by echocardiography, hyperecogen peduncolate formation in the appendix of left auricola. Despite antifungal therapy, exitus occurred. CM (32.4 wg, 1390 g, bigeminal pregnancy): on 2nd day, she was operated for “apple-pe…

Esophageal Biomechanics Revisited: A Tale of Tenacity, Anastomoses, and Suture Bite Lengths in Swine

2019

Background Anastomotic tension has repeatedly been associated with anastomotic leakages after esophagectomy for cancer or esophageal atresia repair. We therefore aimed to determine which anastomotic technique would come as close as possible to the native esophagus in sustaining traction forces. Constant traction for several minutes at esophageal remnants and large suture bites are also considered relevant in long-gap esophageal atresia repair. Methods Porcine esophagi were subjected to linear traction using a motorized horizontal test stand. We compared breaking strengths of native esophagi to simple continuous, simple interrupted, stapled, and barbed suture anastomoses. We also investigate…

Experimentally Induced Biliary Atresia by Means of Rotavirus‐Infection Is Directly Linked to Severe Damage of the Microvasculature in the Extrahepati…

2018

Abstract: Vascular damage has been reported to contribute to atresia formation in several diseases including biliary atresia. This study focused on the extrahepatic biliary plexus in experimental biliary atresia. Newborn BALB/cAnNCrl-pups were infected with rhesus rotavirus within 24 hr after birth to induce experimental biliary atresia. The extrahepatic biliary plexus was examined by confocal microscopy on whole-mount preparations, scored by three independent researchers, and further evaluated at the subcellular level with transmission electron microscopy. Imaging results revealed a progressive destruction of the extrahepatic biliary vascular plexus in the course of experimental biliary at…
