Video-assisted esophageal replacement with the stomach for LGEA can be safely performed in children and infants, even after a previous mediastinal operation; however, larger comparative series are required in the future.
Patients with PE can be operated on during the third decade of life by the NP, facilitated by compensating bending of the bar, a stronger bar, and the use of potent analgesics, leading to outcomes similar to those in younger patients.
Amyand's Hernia (AH) is defined as the protuberance of the vermiform appendix, inflamed, infected, perforated or normal, within the inguinal hernia sac. The prevalence of the AH in the world population is around 0.4-0.6%. While among children, it is about three times more prevalent, owing to patency of the vaginal peritoneum conduit and is more common in men. This Article report a case of AH in an eleven-month-old male who was diagnosed intraoperatively during an elective surgical treatment of bilateral inguinoscrotal herniorrhaphy (as evidence suggests to be what occurs in most cases of AH), when an appendectomy was performed with no unforeseen circumstances. It is essential discussing the diagnosis and treatment of Amyand's hernia as a way of making surgeons aware of this differential diagnosis.
Video-assisted esophageal replacement with the stomach for LGEA can be safely performed in children and infants, even after a previous mediastinal operation; however, larger comparative series are required in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
