Laparoscopic-assisted transanal pull-through (LATP) versus complete transanal pull-through (CTP) in the surgical management of Hirschsprung's disease
2016, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :There was a significant difference in surgery duration between groups, with CTP being completed in less time than LATP (2.6 ± 0.6 h vs. 3.9 ± 1.1 h, p = 0.001). The literature search yielded 423 abstracts, from which 17 articles (12 LATP [12–23], 3 CTP [24–26], and 2 comparative [27,28]) were included (Fig. 1). The main reasons for study exclusion were surgical procedures and outcomes that were not of relevance for this review.
Epidemiology of adhesions in infants and children following open surgery
2014, Seminars in Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The incidence in older children was comparable with the adult literature. The aggregate mean incidence of ASBO following major trans-abdominal surgery in infants and older children from 16 papers is demonstrated in Table 2.12,18–31 The total number of patients in these 16 papers amounted to 4328.
Advances in pediatric colorectal surgical techniques
2010, Seminars in Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :As a result, many surgeons have developed a laparoscopic approach based on their previously preferred open procedure. In this regard, the considerations for choosing a specific dissection technique (Soave, Swenson, or Duhamel) are no different from when using an open approach.62,63,81,82 The procedure begins by using a 3- or 4-port technique to obtain frozen-section biopsies to confirm the transition zone.
The preliminary study of modified Swenson procedure in Hirschsprung disease
2009, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In the Swenson procedure, dissection of the posterior-lateral wall of the rectum down to the deep pelvic floor also requires meticulous attention, keeping the dissection directly on the rectal wall. Laparoscopic approaches have been reported for the Swenson procedure [4,9] as well as the Duhamel [6] and the Soave [5] procedures, suggesting better visualization of pelvic structures may contribute to a safe and effective operation, in addition to a cosmetic advantage. This study has shown that with laparoscopic guidance, our modified Swenson operation may have the additional safety advantage of reduced blood loss.
