Se presenta el primer caso pediátrico de sigmoidectomía videoasistida por robot Da Vinci Xi en un varón de 9 años con constipación crónica idiopática refractaria al tratamiento médico y megarrectosigmoides. Se le realizó sigmoidectomía con anastomosis primaria sin rebasar la reflexión peritoneal. La sigmoidectomía en pacientes con constipación crónica intratable resulta en una notable mejoría, con reducción o eliminación de medidas laxantes. La resección del sigmoides con asistencia de robot es una alternativa de mínima invasión segura en el paciente pediátrico.
Introduction: the aim of this study was to analyze the prognosis related to complications in the post-surgical period of patients with complicated appendicitis. Material and methods: retrospective study over a period of three years. Pediatric patients with complicated appendicitis, who underwent appendectomy by open technique or by laparoscopy, were included. Results: 109 patients were studied, aged from three to 16 years; there was a higher proportion of male patients (65.1%). Twenty-three (21.1%) post-surgical complications were identified; 10 corresponded to infection in the surgical site, six to intra-abdominal abscess, five to paralytic ileus, and two patients with perforation. Conclusions: in pediatric patients with complicated appendicitis, the incidence of postoperative complications is about 20%; surgical site infection is the most common complication.

Acta Pediatr Mex 2010;31(2):64-66.www.nietoeditores.com.mx RESUMEN Introducción. Los hematomas crónicos del páncreas en niños son raros y de difícil diagnóstico. Los diagnósticos diferenciales más relevantes son: seudoquiste de páncreas cuando existe el antecedente de traumatismo, y tumor seudopapilar de páncreas cuando dicho antecedente no existe. El estudio de imagen ideal es la tomografía de abdomen. En el caso que presentamos el diagnóstico definitivo fue quirúrgico mediante biopsia transoperatoria. Informe del caso. Se presenta el caso de una adolescente de 14 años de edad con antecedente de traumatismo abdominal cerrado cuatro meses antes del inicio de su padecimiento actual, caracterizado por: dolor en abdomen superior, náuseas, vómito y pérdida de peso de 8 Kg. La tomografía reveló lesión quística en cabeza de páncreas. Con sospecha de seudoquiste de páncreas vs tumor seudopapilar se sometió a laparotomía exploradora. Durante la cirugía se descubrió hematoma capsulado de la cabeza de páncreas realizándose vaciamiento y ventana a peritoneo, así como toma de biopsia. La evolución postoperatoria fue adecuada. Discusión. El hematoma de páncreas es raro y de difícil diagnóstico. Los diagnósticos diferenciales más importantes son seudoquiste y tumor seudopapilar de páncreas. Palabras clave: Hematoma pancreático, tumor seudopapilar del páncreas, biopsia transoperatoria, traumatismo. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Chronic hematomas of the pancreas are rare and difficult to diagnose in children. The most relevant differential diagnosis include: pancreatic pseudocyst (when a history of trauma is referred) and pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (when a history of trauma is denied). The gold standard study imaging consists of an abdominal CT scan. In the case we present, the diagnosis was not made by CT, and could only be obtained after surgical biopsy. Case report. A case of a female adolescent with history of closed abdominal trauma 4 months before the onset of symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss of 8 kg. The CT image only revealed a cyst of the head of the pancreas. The differential diagnosis included: pancreatic pseudocyst vs. a malignant tumor. Surgery was indicated. During surgery, a pancreatic hematoma of the head of the pancreas was diagnosed, drained and marsupialized. The postoperative outcome was uneventful. Discussion. Hematomas of the pancreas are rare and difficult to diagnose. The most relevant differential diagnosis include: pancreatic pseudocyst and pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.
