Laparo-endoscopic combination for the safe extraction of an open safety pin in a 9-month-old child. Case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

and importance: Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies (FBs) is common among infants. In case of sharp FBs, the risk of accidental organ damage with potential life-threatening complications constitutes an absolute indication for removal. We present the case of a child, who, following the ingestion of an open safety pin, was successfully treated exclusively with minimally invasive techniques.

Case presentation

A 9-month-old male patient was admitted for hematemesis. An anteroposterior and lateral X-ray of the thorax and abdomen revealed the presence of an open safety pin in the epi-mesogastric region, without a precise localization. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, fluoroscopy, and laparoscopy were combined in the same intervention to localize and safely remove the foreign body. The patient was dismissed on a postoperative day 1.

Clinical discussion and conclusion

The two main pitfalls of this scenario were the initially uncertain location of the foreign body and the young age of the patient. A combination of different techniques was used to safely locate and remove the foreign body, reducing hospitalization and avoiding repeated radiological exposure. An experienced team in a tertiary paediatric surgical and endoscopic centre increases the chances of success and minimizes invasiveness and the risk of complications.

Marseillevirus adenitis in an 11-month-old child.

Project description:A Marseillevirus (giant virus of amoeba) has been found in the blood and stool samples of individuals who otherwise appear to be healthy. During an attempt to define a serological cutoff for Marseillevirus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in children, we serendipitously detected high antibody responses to Marseillevirus in an 11-month-old boy suffering from adenitis. Marseillevirus DNA was then found in his blood using PCR and with a unique sequence. We identified Marseillevirus in a lymph node using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry, and the lymph node was removed surgically. The child was declared to be cured 1 year later. We conclude that adenitis during early childhood may be caused by Marseillevirus.

Laparo-endoscopic single-site radical prostatectomy: Feasibility and technique.

Project description:BackgroundAs laparoscopy becomes a standard approach in many urological procedures, researchers strive to make minimally invasive surgery less invasive. Our objective was to apply recent innovations in equipment and surgical approaches to develop the technique and perform laparo-endoscopic single site radical prostatectomy (LESS-RP).MethodsThe technique for LESS-RP was derived by combining existing techniques of standard laparoscopic RP and developing techniques of urological LESS. This incorporated newly available low-profile trocars, flexible instruments and a flexible-tip laparoscope. The procedure was performed through a single 3-cm transverse infra-umbilical incision. LESS-RP was completed successfully via a single operative site without auxiliary needles or trocars. Perioperative variables and postoperative outcomes were recorded and measured.ResultsThe operative time was 424 min and the hospital stay was 10 days because of a vesicourethral leak and ileus. The anastomotic leak resolved and the urethral catheter was removed at 4 weeks after surgery. The final pathology showed negative margins and Gleason 3 + 4 pT2c prostatic adenocarcinoma.ConclusionsLESS-RP is feasible by replicating laparoscopic RP techniques and incorporating the LESS technique with the advent of flexible-tip laparoscopes and flexible instruments. After a learning curve has been overcome, this should be further tested prospectively to compare oncological and functional outcomes with laparoscopic and robotic-assisted RP.

Efficacy and safety of laparo-endoscopic resections of colorectal neoplasia: A systematic review.

Project description:ObjectiveThe purpose of this review is to assess the efficacy and safety of laparo-endoscopic local resections for colorectal lesions not suitable for endoscopic resection.Summary background dataThe combined laparo-endoscopic approach has been proposed for large colorectal lesions unsuitable for endoscopic resection, in order to reduce morbidity of common laparoscopic resection. However, data on the efficacy and safety of laparo-endoscopic local resections are still controversial.MethodsAn Embase search of papers published during the period 1985-2014 was performed. Published studies that evaluated laparo-endoscopic resections for colorectal lesions were assessed using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) recommendations by two authors. Forest plots on primary (per-lesion rate of further surgery, including surgery for complications and surgery for oncologic radical treatment) and secondary outcomes were produced based on fixed and random effects models. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I (2) statistic. Risk for within-study bias was ascertained with QUADAS (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies) system.ResultsA total of 11 studies provided data on 707 lesions treated with a combined laparo-endoscopic approach. A variety of techniques were reported. The overall per-lesion rate of further surgery was 9.5%, while per-lesion rate of further surgery for oncologic treatment was 7.9%, per-lesion rate of further surgery for complications treatment was 3.5%, incidence of adenocarcinoma was 10.5%, incidence of overall complications was 7.9%, incidence of conversion to open surgery 4.3% and incidence of recurrence was 5.4%.ConclusionsDespite laparo-endoscopic approach ensures limited invasiveness, it is affected by a consistent rate of complications and oncologic inadequacy that often requires further surgical treatment.

Therapeutic actions in a 2-month-old child with teratoma and duodenal malrotation accompaniment.

Project description:Introductionand importance: A mature mediastinal teratoma is a rare type of tumor that can contain fully developed tissues and it is usually considered benign, more common in female and may require surgical removal. The most common locations for teratomas are the tailbone (coccyx), ovaries, and testicles, but in this case, the teratoma was located in the mediastinum.Case presentationFurthermore, intestinal malrotation could potentially lead the patient to gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction and PO intolerance. Here, we present a 2-month-old patient with considerable manifestation of GI intolerance due to intestinal malrotaion accompanied by mature mediastinal teratoma.Clinical discussionAn evaluation of malrotation should be part of every upper GI tract examination in pediatric patients, particularly newborns and infants.ConclusionFinally, in this case, surgical intervention could enhance both malrotation and mediastinal teratoma.

Extraperitoneal Robotic Laparo-Endoscopic Single-Site Plus1-Port Radical Prostatectomy Using the da Vinci Single-Site Platform.

Project description:Currently, over 80% of radical prostatectomies have been performed with the da Vinci Surgical System. In order to improve the aesthetic outlook and decrease the morbidity of the operation, the new da Vinci Single Port (SP) system was developed in 2018. However, one major problem is the SP system is still not available in most countries. We aim to present our initial experience and show the safety and feasibility of the single-site robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (LESS-RP) using the da Vinci Single-Site platform. From June 2017 to January 2020, 120 patients with localized prostate cancer (stage T1-T3b) at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital were included in this study. We describe our technique and report our initial results of LESS-RP using the da Vinci Si robotic system. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative patient variables were recorded. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-free survival was also analyzed. A total of 120 patients were enrolled in the study. The median age of patients was 68 years (IQR 63-71), with a median body mass index of 25 kg/m2 (IQR 23-27). The median PSA value before operation was 10.7 ng/mL (IQR 7.9-21.1). The median setup time for creat-ing the extraperitoneal space and ports document was 25 min (IQR 18-34). The median robotic console time and operation time were 135 min (IQR 110-161) and 225 min (IQR 197-274), respectively. Median blood loss was 365 mL (IQR 200-600). There were 11 (9.2%) patients who experienced complications (Clavien-Dindo classification Gr II). The me-dian catheter duration was 8 days (IQR 7-9), with a median of 10 days (IQR 7-11) of hospital stay. The PSA free-survival rate was 86% at a median 19 months (IQR 6-28) of follow up. Robotic radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci Single-Site platform system is safe and feasible, with acceptable outcomes.

Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site Combined With Hysteroscopy to Diagnose and Treat Robert's Uterine Malformation: A Case Report.

Project description:Asymmetric septate uterus, commonly known as Robert's uterus, is an exceedingly rare uterine malformation described for the first time in 1970 by Robert H. Currently, surgery is the therapy of choice for Robert's uterus, with surgical choices ranging from laparotomy to minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, we reported that a 14-year-old girl with primary dysmenorrhea that gradually worsened three months after menarche had surgery after many imaging evaluations, and that the intraoperative diagnosis was Robert's uterus. The diagnostic and therapeutic laparo-endoscopic single site(LESS) combined with hysteroscopy surgery for Robert's uterine abnormality was shown via a step-by-step presentation of the method accompanied by narrated video footage. During the ten-month postoperative follow-up period, the patient had monthly recurrences with normal menstrual volume and no dysmenorrhea, demonstrating that as a minimally invasive treatment, LESS combined with hysteroscopy surgery is a successful methodfor diagnosing and treating this specific malformation.
