Stapled intestinal anastomoses in infants

A multicenter evaluation of the role of mechanical bowel preparation in pediatric colostomy takedown

“…Some subjects from one of the sites were included in a prior study regarding colostomy takedown in children with anorectal malformations [26] that did not focus upon bowel preparation and a group of subjects from another site were part of a study that compared open and stapled intestinal anastomoses [27]. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine (no.…”

Surgical outcomes, bowel habits and quality of life in young patients after ileoanal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis

“…Over the study period, our surgical technique did transition from hand sewn to stapled ileoanal anastomoses, but this did not appear to affect outcomes. The literature on surgical stapling devices in pediatrics is limited, but safe and effective use of sapling devices in even infants has been shown [12,13]. Although the use of intestinal stapling devices especially end-to-end stapling devices should be further studied among pediatric population, the limited evidence suggests it is safe and effective.…”

Laparoscopic technique of resection of omphalomesenteric duct in the newborns

“…Несколько исследований описывают использование степлера у детей стар-шей возрастной группы для лечения болезни Гирш-прунга [21], аппендэктомии [22], удлинения ки-шечной трубки [23]. Количество сообщений о при-менении кишечного степлера у новорожденных для создания анастомозов кишечной трубки ограниче-но [24][25][26][27][28]. В 1995 г. R. Powell [24] опубликовал ре-зультаты исследования, в которое были включены 7 новорожденных.…”
