A selective sac extraction method: another minimally invasive procedure for inguinal hernia repair in children: a technical innovation with satisfactory surgical and cosmetic results.
Ikeda H, Hatanaka M, Suzuki M, Fujino J, Tahara K, Ishimaru Y Related Articles A selective sac extraction method: another minimally invasive procedure for inguinal hernia repair in children: a technical innovation with satisfactory surgical and cosmetic results. J Pediatr Surg. 2009 Aug;44(8):1666-71 Authors: Ikeda H, Hatanaka M, Suzuki M, Fujino J, Tahara K, Ishimaru Y PURPOSE: To achieve satisfactory surgical and cosmetic results with minimal surgical invasiveness without laparoscopic assistance in childhood inguinal hernia repair, a novel technique, the selective sac extraction method (SSEM), was devised. The technical feasibility of this method was retrospectively examined. METHODS: The method was applied to 162 consecutive hernia repairs in 153 patients, 79 boys and 74 girls, excluding patients with incarcerated or irreducible hernia, sliding hernia of the ovary (hernia with palpable ovary at repair), or hernia associated with an undescended testis. Hernia repair was performed by several young surgeons under the guidance of one teaching surgeon. RESULTS: Patients' ages ranged from 1 month to 12 years (median, 3 years), and their body weights ranged from 2.9 to 41 kg (median, 14.4 kg). The SSEM was accomplished in 149 (92%) of 162 repairs, and lengths of incision at the end of the procedure were less than 10 mm in all repairs. The success rate was 72 (88%) of 82 repairs in male patients and 77 (96%) of 80 repairs in female patients. In the remaining 13 (8%) repairs in 13 patients, 10 males and 3 females, the procedure was converted to a conventional open method by extending the incision to 10 mm or longer. The ages of the 13 patients ranged from 1 month to 8 years (median, 3 months), being significantly younger than patients whose repair was accomplished by the SSEM (P = .006). The reason for conversion in 9 repairs was a huge or thickened sac that could not be extracted from the small incision, of which 6 involved male infants younger than 11 months. Obesity (the body mass index was 22.2 and >97th percentile for the patient's age) and thick subcutaneous tissue characteristic of early infancy were also reasons, both of which hindered the approach to the inguinal canal. Other reasons included malpositioning of the skin incision and difficulty in sac identification. The lengths of incision at the end of the 162 repairs ranged from 4.5 to 13.0 mm (median, 7.0 mm). Those in female patients, 4.5 to 11.5 mm (median, 6.5 mm), were significantly shorter than in male patients, 5.0 to 13.0 mm (median, 7.5 mm) (P < .001). The median length of the operation was 25 minutes. A follow-up interview revealed that there was no hernia recurrence with a median follow-up time of 20 months (range, 12-29 months). No postoperative complications were reported by the parents. As for the parents' satisfaction with wound cosmesis, 93% of them rated it as good or excellent. CONCLUSIONS: Inguinal hernia repair with the SSEM through a minimal skin incision is technically feasible, with very satisfactory surgical and cosmetic results. As it has the potential to be a standard method for inguinal hernia repair in children, a prospective study to confirm the safety of the procedure should be carried out.

Flexor tendon repair in children with zone 2 injuries: an innovative technique using autogenous vein.
Mousavi SR, Mehdikhah Z, Tadayon N Related Articles Flexor tendon repair in children with zone 2 injuries: an innovative technique using autogenous vein. J Pediatr Surg. 2009 Aug;44(8):1662-5 Authors: Mousavi SR, Mehdikhah Z, Tadayon N OBJECTIVES: This is a new technique for tendon repair that may improve the results of existing methods. METHODS: The study is a nonrandomized retrospective study using historical (nonconcurrent) controls. From May 1994 to March 2004, 53 children aged 5 to 15 years requiring tendon repair (test group) were compared to 53 children conventionally repaired (control group). All patients had flexor tendon injuries, involving zone 2. In the test group (53 patients), a modified Kessler repairing of tendons with 4-0 prolene was used, followed by a core suture of running 7-0 nylon or prolene epitendinous suture. After the tendon repair, a segment of vein through which the tendon had been passed before or a vein patch used as a tendon sheath substitute was used to repair the sheath defects. The results during 6 months of follow-up were compared with those of the control group that were operated using the conventional technique (modified Kessler method). RESULTS: We assessed the results by measuring the range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal, distal interphalangeal, and proximal interphalangeal joints in the follow-up period and graded them as excellent, good, fair, and poor. In the test group, 86% were graded as excellent, 11% good, 3% fair, and 0% poor results; and in the control group, 0% were excellent, 12% good, 38% fair, and 50% poor results. The differences were significant (P < .005). CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary results appeared encouraging when compared with the outcomes achieved by the conventional tendon repair technique. As the new technique decreases the need for intensive physiotherapy, it may serve as a substitute method for the conventional tendon repair and eventually become a standard technique in the future.

Infarction of an epiploic appendage in a pediatric patient.
Fraser JD, Aguayo P, Leys CM, St Peter SD, Ostlie DJ Related Articles Infarction of an epiploic appendage in a pediatric patient. J Pediatr Surg. 2009 Aug;44(8):1659-61 Authors: Fraser JD, Aguayo P, Leys CM, St Peter SD, Ostlie DJ Epiploic appendagitis or infarction of an epiploic appendage is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain in pediatric patients. Few cases have been reported. Diagnosis based on clinical examination alone is nearly impossible, and therefore, adjunctive radiographic measures are necessary to aid in the diagnosis, including ultrasound and computed tomography. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy whose diagnosis of epiploic infarction was suggested by computed tomography and was confirmed and treated via laparoscopy.
