An 11-year-old boy presented with symptoms of periappendiceal abscess. At laparotomy, a tumor-like mass involving the ileocecal mesentery and adjacent part of the cecum and covered by the omentum was found. A right hemicolectomy was performed, followed by primary ileocolic anastomosis.

Triochidism associated with cryptorchidism.

Polyorchidism is a rare genital abnormality in which supernumerary testes are present. We describe a case of triorchidism and cryptorchidism in a 3-year old male while performing an orchiopexy. We review the literature and propose its management.

[Transanal endorectal pull-through with or without laparoscopic assistance? Development of an experimental model].

The transanal approach is a relatively new technique for surgery of Hirschsprung's disease. The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate and compare the transanal endorectal pull-through when it takes place with laparoscopic assistance, according to Soave-Georgeson procedure and without laparoscopic assistance. We used two separated groups of animals.
