Ateşli silah yaralanmaları dünya genelinde önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Bu çalışmada Somali'deki tek çocuk cerrahisi kliniğinde abdominal ateşli silah yaralanması nedeniyle opere edilen hastaların klinik özellikleri incelendi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada,Somali'deki tek çocuk cerrahisi kliniğine Mayıs 2019 -Temmuz 2021 tarihleri arasında abdominal ateşli silah yaralanması ile getirilen ve opere edilen 42 çocuk hastanınkayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, yaralanma nedeni (ateşli silah veya bombalanma), tedavi, ameliyat bulguları, yaralanan organlar, hastanede kalış süresi ve komplikasyonlar açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yaşları 3 -16 arasında değişen (ortanca 10 yıl), 28 (%67) erkek ve 14 (%33) kadın hastaların 30'u (%71) bombalanma, 12'si ise (%29) kurşunlanma sonucu yaralanmıştı. Vakaların 21'inde (%50) tek, 21'inde (%50) birden fazla organ yaralanması saptandı. En sık hasar gören organlar sırasıyla ince bağırsak (n=24), kolon (n=14), karaciğer (n=10) ve böbrekti (n=7). Ortanca yatış süresi yedi gün olarak saptandı. Vakaların 36'sı (%86) serviste, altısı (%14) yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip edildi. Yoğun bakımda takip edilen iki hastanın seyri mortalite ile sonuçlandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, Somali'de tek bir çocuk cerrahisi kliniğinde kısa bir zaman dilimi içinde elde ettiğimiz verilerin, çocukların ciddi oranda abdominal ateşli silah yaralanmalarına maruz kaldıklarını ve önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite ile karşı karşıya olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır.
Inguinal hernia is one of the most prevalent reasons for transfer to the pediatric surgery department. The incidence varies from 0.8-4.4% of term babies and up to 30% of preterm babies. Surgery for inguinal hernia has become one of the most frequently carried out operations, with better outcomes and very few complications. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of all children diagnosed with inguinal hernia (under 15 years of age) was conducted from April 1 th , 2018 to July 31 th , 2022, in a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia. All cases of inguinal hernia are operated on using a modified Ferguson surgical technique. Results: During the 51 mounts, 119 cases with inguinal hernia were operated. 94.1% of cases (n=112) were male and 5.9% (n=7) of were female; the ratio of inguinal hernia from male to female was 16:1. The right side was slightly more common and the proportion of bilaterally affected cases was about 6.7%. The median age at presentation was 52 months, and the mean waiting period for patients to be operated on was 2 months. The rate of incarcerated cases was 4.2%. Infants had a greater risk of incarceration than other children.The total wound infection and recurrence rates following surgery were 1.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Babies with inguinal hernias are at an increased risk of incarceration and it would be wise to consider surgery soon, depending on current waiting lists. Surgical therapy should be performed as soon as possible to minimize associated morbidities and mortality.
The infantile intestinal obstruction associated with situs inversus totalis and polysplenia is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Furthermore, the management of this association is complicated. We report a case of a 2-month-old boy with intestinal obstruction due to malrotation and volvulus with thin translucent omentum sac encasing the small intestine associated with situs inversus totalis, polysplenia, and pulmonary hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of situs inversus totalis with polysplenia, pulmonary hypertension, and intestinal obstruction due to malrotation and volvulus with thin translucent omentum sac encasing the small intestine.
