Introduction. The biggest difficulties of pulmonary sequestration treatment appear when they are combined with other congenital malformations. Materials and methods. This article describes a rare case of combination of infradiaphragmatic extralobar sequestration of the lung and duplication cyst of the gaster. The antenatal ultrasound investigation at 21 week of gestation visualized a retroperitoneal mass that had a cystic-solid structure and a vessel that departed directly from the aorta. CT-scan that was performed after the birth, confirmed an existence of infradiaphragmatic cystic mass that had a vessel that departed directly from the aorta. We couldnt exclude the neoplastic process because of structure and topography of mass. Tumor markers were without pathology. Surgical treatment was performed: laparotomy and removal of the cyst and extrapulmonary sequestration. The histological investigation confirmed a pulmonary sequestrum and duplication cyst of the gaster. Conclusion. A nowadays method of visualization allows to find congenital malformation in earliest stages of gestation. The tradition surgical treatment and also minimal invasive surgical treatment are the main option of cure such congenital malformations. Also literature review of rare clinical forms of pulmonary sequestration presented in this article.

Background. Inguinal hernias in children are a common problem. They occur in 520 cases of 1000 newborns, with the prevalence in males of about 10 times. Therefore, they present a very important problem in pediatric surgery. Materials and methods. This prospective study was performed from 2019 to 2020 and included 30 patients with diagnosed inguinal hernias. Video-assisted percutaneous hernia sac ligation was performed in all patients. Results. The mean operating time was 10.3 2.7 min in patients with unilateral inguinal hernias and 14.7 1.6 min in patients with the bilateral variant. No complications or recurrences were observed during the six-month follow-up period. In one case, an additional 3 mm port setting was performed in an eight-month-old child. The main reason for doing this was the fibrous transformation of the parietal peritoneum because of the existence of incarcerations in the anamnesis. Conclusion. This technique garners all the advantages of a minimally invasive surgical treatment of inguinal hernias using the Tuohy needle. However, the conductor application allows us to create the same approach using a Touhy needle. This means that we can perform an isolated hernia sac ligation without getting under the preperitoneal tissue ligature, parts of the internal oblique and transverse muscles, aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, and subcutaneous fat. This presented video-assisted percutaneous hernia sac ligation method seems like a potential minimally invasive way to treat inguinal hernias in children.

A rare clinical case of an isolated intestinal duplication cyst in a 6-year-old child with unclear clinical picture of alimentary dyspepsia is described in the work. Surgical cyst laparoscopic removal resulted in convalescence. The article presents review of literature devoted to treatment of this pathology.

Background. Inguinal hernias are very important problem in pediatric surgery. It appears in 520 cases in every 1000 newborns, approximately 10 times prevalence in males. However, the incidence of inguinal hernia is bigger by 1.52 times in group of premature infants. Materials and methods. In prospective study, that was performed in 20192020, 90 pediatric patients diagnosed inguinal hernia were included. All patients had open herniotomy (Duhamel method), subcutaneous endoscopic-assisted ligation of inguinal hernia using Tuohy needle, or video-assisted percutaneous hernial sac suturing (VIPS). Results. The mean operating time in VIPS group was 13 13.46 min in patients with unilateral inguinal hernia and 20 6.12 min in patients with bilateral variant. In the 6-month follow-up period, any complications or recurrences were not observed. VIPS group included two extremely premature infant with uni- and bilateral inguinal hernia. Minimally invasive herniotomy was performed in 50 weeks post-conceptual age, with unremarkable postoperative period. A difference was found in the operating time between groups of minimally invasive herniotomy and group of Duhamel repair. No difference was found in the operating time of bilateral hernia between all groups. Conclusion. Considered all things, assuming that announced method of video-assisted percutaneous hernial sac ligation to be a perspective minimal invasive way of treatment for inguinal hernia in children is reasonable. However, for final conclusions, further study of this surgical technique, also in a cohort of premature infants, is required, with the possible organization of multicenter clinical trials.
