The article is devoted to the experience of surgical treatment of pathology of the pancreas at the Center for the Treatment of Developmental Anomalies and Diseases of the Hepatopancreatobiliary System in Children on the basis of the Children’s City Clinical Hospital No. 13 named after NF Filatova: annular pancreas, acute and chronic pancreatitis, tumors and cysts of the pancreas. From 2016 to 2020, more than 267 reconstructive interventions on the pancreas were performed, including longitudinal and transverse pancreatojejunoanastamosis, pancreatoduodenal resection, cystoenteroanastamosis, sectoral and total resection of the pancreas. In the postoperative period, the most severe complication in this category of patients was arrosive bleeding, which is the main cause of all deaths after surgery.
The pancreas is an organ that plays a key role in the digestive process, preparing food ingredients such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates for adequate absorption in the small intestine. Today, a wide range of pathological conditions is known in which the tissue of the pancreas is affected and its functions are lost. The literature review examined various diseases that phenotypically manifest as pancreatitis, as well as various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Introduction. The article is devoted to the experience of treating children with pancreatic tumors who underwent pancreatoduodenal resection (PDR) at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Pediatrics, N. I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University and at the Center for the Treatment of Developmental Anomalies and Diseases of the Hepatopancreatobiliary System in Children on the basis of the N. F. Filatov Children’s City Clinical Hospital. This type of operation was performed in children with tumors of the head of the pancreas, with the spread of fibroinflammatory changes to nearby organs in chronic pancreatitis and with complicated forms of chronic duodenal obstruction. Materials and methods. For the period from 2010 to 2021 9 PDEs were performed in patients aged 1 to 16 years. The results of treatment in this category of patients were assessed as satisfactory. It is noted that the postoperative period has a number of features: prolonged restoration of gastric motility and passage through the gastrointestinal tract (100% of patients), exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis (100% of patients). Against the background of conservative therapy in all children (100% of patients), the symptoms of pancreatitis were stopped in the period from 26 to 41 postoperative days, the evacuation function of the stomach was fully restored within 2-4 weeks after the operation. Discussion and conclusions. Among the postoperative complications, there were: stenosis of biliary and pancreatic-digestive anastomoses (22% and 11% of those studied, respectively), adhesive intestinal obstruction (11% of cases), intra-abdominal bleeding (11% of patients). One patient had a lethal outcome after repeated surgical interventions for pancreatic head limphangioma complicated by intra-abdominal bleeding and biliary peritonitis. The prognosis in this category of patients is favorable - in the follow-up after surgical treatment in all children (100% of patients), the passage through the gastrointestinal tract is not disturbed, the endo- and exocrine function of the pancreas is preserved (100% of patients), there were no indications for prescribing enzyme therapy and insulin preparations …
Chronic pancreatitis is one of the most pressing problems of pediatric gastroenterology and surgery of hepatopancreatobiliary organs. Diagnosis and treatment of this category of patients requires a comprehensive examination using modern highly sensitive research methods and the collegial participation of a surgeon, gastroenterologist and endocrinologist. Due to the fact that the algorithm for managing these patients is not regulated, patients often receive enzyme replacement therapy for a long time, with indications for surgical treatment. In addition, the non-specificity of complaints and clinical manifestations of chronic pancreatitis, the asymptomatic course and the initial detection of exo- and endocrine insufficiency lead to a later choice of the optimal treatment method and increase the risk of complications. The key to effective care for children with chronic pancreatitis is the staging and continuity in research and treatment. At the Center for the Treatment of Developmental Anomalies and Diseases of the Hepatopancreatobiliary System in Children on the basis of the Filatov Hospital, highly effective interventions are carried out for chronic pancreatitis in children, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate outflow of pancreatic juice using longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy, which, in addition to draining the pancreas, allows to achieve clinical remission and stop the progression pathological process, including diabetes mellitus. The article reflects the experience of diagnosis and treatment of chronic pancreatitis in children.
Introduction. Colon atresia is a rare form of congenital bowel obstruction. In scientific literature, there are isolated publications devoted to colon atresia, and only some authors discuss the membranous form of atresia.Material and methods. The article describes a rare clinical case of an incomplete colon membrane in an infant. At the age of 11 months, the child developed symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Irrigography was performed; Hirschsprung’s disease was suspected. At the first stage, the child was taken a floor-by-floor biopsy of the colon, and an ileostomy was put. Visually, Hirschsprung’s disease seemed to be present; however, histological examination turned aside this diagnosis. Given this, the colon membrane was suspected. Partial resection of the altered part of the sigmoid colon was performed with good clinical effect. Histological examination revealed an incomplete serous-muscular membrane of the colon.Conclusion. Colon atresia is a rare disease that presents a serious problem for diagnosis and treatment. Preoperative morphological verification of the diagnosis is important, even in case when Hirschsprung’s disease seems obvious. Preoperative diagnostics is important because surgical tactics may be considerably different in colon local lesions.
