Esophageal Perforation into the Pericardium in a 3-Year-Old Child with Esophageal Stricture: A Rare Complication Following Esophageal Dilatation
We present the report of a 3-year-old girl who was diagnosed with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 17 months of age. She experienced a complicated clinical course after chemotherapy was initiated, which included mucositis and acute pericarditis. She later developed an acquired esophageal stricture and tracheoesophageal fistula, which were managed with resection and primary anastomosis when she was in remission. Postoperatively, the patient developed a leak, which was treated conservatively. She subsequently developed a stricture that was treated successfully. On the fourth dilatation attempt and after she was sent ho...

Co-injection of Bile and Indocyanine Green for Detecting Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction of Choledochal Cyst
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e127-e130 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1747913The usage of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) has gained popularity in many procedures in pediatric surgery. ICG generates fluorescent light only when it combines with a protein. We herein report a novel technique for detecting pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ) with co-injection of bile and ICG in laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection and hepaticojejunostomy for a pediatric patient. A 4-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain and intermittent vomiting. Enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonanc...

Indocyanine Green-Based Fluorescence-Guided Surgery in a Male Infant with Anorectal Malformation
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e122-e125 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1750029Reconstructive techniques for complex anorectal malformations (ARMs) require intestinal pull-through on vascular pedicles. Traditionally, the visual inspection of the intestinal perfusion is the sole modality adopted to assess tissue viability.In this article, we report the case of a child with a rectourethral prostatic fistula, who had a Peña's descending colostomy with distal mucous fistula in the neonatal period and a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty at 6 months of life. The ARM repair was guided by indocyanine green (ICG), which was intraveno...

Transanal Mesenteric Resection in Hirschsprung's Disease Using ICG under Concept of NOTES Technique
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e115-e117 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1751051Laparoscopic surgery has been applied for Hirschsprung's disease (HD). We herein report our approach to mesenteric processing for laparoscopic-assisted transanal endorectal pull-through (L-TERPT). Following mucosectomy and entering the abdominal cavity, a vessel sealing system is transanally inserted into the abdominal cavity for mesenteric processing based on concept of Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery. Since the transanal axis is parallel to the dissected mesentery, it makes easier to operate in comparison to when the procedure is ...

COVID-19-Related Intestinal Ischemia in A 7-Year Old Boy
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e107-e110 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1755721Severe abdominal pain and vomiting are common symptoms in children with pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS). Mesenteric lymphadenitis and aseptic peritonitis are predominantly reported in cases where acute surgical abdomen was suspected and laparotomy was performed at the early stage of the pandemic. These reports generally discouraged surgeons to perform exploration in COVID-19-related cases and medical management was prioritized. Only a few COVID-19-specific surgical cases with intestinal ischemia were published. Here, we report an...

Complete Colonic Duplication and Perineal Fistula: Transanal Mucosectomy of the Ectopic Rectum
Conclusion In cases of complete colonic duplication division of the common wall is simple and safe. Mucosectomy of the ectopic rectum limits pelvic dissection and preserves the entire muscular wall of the duplicated orthotope rectum.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Coracoid Process Presenting as Adhesive Capsulitis in a 10-Year-Old Male: A Case Report
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e98-e101 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1751241A 10-year-old male presented with symptoms in his right shoulder indicative of adhesive capsulitis. Radiographic films did not demonstrate any osseous abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the presence of an eccentric lesion within the coracoid process consistent with an osteoid osteoma. Six months after surgical removal the patient is back to full activities. For the pediatric population, surgeons must always consider diagnoses that could alter a patient's growth or result in long-term disability. In particular, an atypical present...

Cloaca-Like Anomalies in the Male: A Report on Two Cases
We present two “male” cases of anorectal anomalies associated with significant penile deformity (caudally displaced penis) that were managed during the period between January 2010 and September 2021. Characteristically, both cases had a single “central” perineal orifice. The latter was located anterior to the predestined site of the normal anus and just beneath a caudally positioned hypospadiac phallus. The caudal displacement of the penis was strikingly obvious by the presence of severe form of penoscrotal transposition. Both cases were associated with a perineal swelling (hamartoma) just beside the central perine...

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome after Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Excavatum in a 15-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e89-e92 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1748316Nuss procedure has become the treatment of choice in pectus excavatum mainly because of the excellent functional and cosmetic results. Despite the good results, several complications have been reported. The aim of this study is to describe a case of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) after Nuss procedure and review the management of such rare complication. A 15-year-old boy otherwise healthy was submitted to Nuss procedure, with no perioperative complications. Two-weeks later, the patient complained of right-hand paresthesia, progressive weakness of the ...

High-Resolution Transperineal Ultrasound in Anorectal Malformations —Can We Replace the Distal Colostogram?
Conclusion In all cases the results of the distal colostogram nicely correlated with the high-resolution transperineal ultrasound with 3D tomographic reconstruction. In the future, we envision a time when it can potentially replace the distal colostogram in preoperative assessment of ARM with no distress and exposure to radiation.

Diagnostics and Treatment of Volkmann Ischemic Contracture in a Seven-Year-Old Child
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e68-e72 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749210A 7-year-old boy presented 6 weeks after open reduction and crossed Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation of a supracondylar humerus fracture. Previous treatments had restored skeletal anatomy without documented complications. However, the patient would not move the entire arm, including his forearm and hand. Any passive movement led to anxious adverse reactions, and there was partial numbness of all fingers. After intensive physio- and occupational therapy supported by nerve stimulation and psychological counseling, anxiety-related functional deficits of...

Continuous Hepatogonodal and Splenogonogal Fusion: A Rare Cause of Bilateral Intra-Abdominal Testis in an 18-Month-Old Boy
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2022; 10: e80-e83 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1747671The fusion of gonadal structures with internal organs is very rare. The close proximity between the left gonad and spleen during embryogenesis may result in splenogonadal fusion (SGF). Moreover, the trapping of hepatocyte-destined mesenchyme cells in gonads is defined as hepatogonadal fusion (HGF). The fusion of gonads with intra-abdominal organs may be continuous and may impair testicular descent during the prenatal period. We herein report an 18-month-old boy presented with bilateral nonpalpable testis due to concomitant continuous HGF and SGF. To ...
