Factors associated with mortality in congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract in a tertiary center in Senegal.

Objective: Patients with congenital malformations (CMs) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) have a very high mortality. However, the literature on the factors associated with mortality in these patients is scarce in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study is to identify independent risk factors for mortality in patients with CMs of the GIT at our pediatric surgical department.

[Transanal evisceration of small bowel caused by impalement in children: about a case].

Transanal evisceration of the small intestine caused by impalement is exceptional among children. We report the case of an 11-year old girl with intestinal loops eviscerating through the anus due to a fall on a sharp piece of wood which stuck into her, occurring two hours before hospitalization. On examination, his general condition was good, with transanal evisceration of approximately 25 cm of viable small bowel through the anus and abdominal tenderness.

Peritoneal Tuberculosis in Infants: Diagnostic Challenges.

Abdominal tuberculosis is rare in immunocompetent infants. We report on two infants with peritoneal tuberculosis (6 and 8 months) who underwent laparotomy for suspected intussusception. In the first patient, characteristic lesions of peritoneal tuberculosis were observed intraoperatively with presence of multiple granulations.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Children: Preliminary Study in Pediatric Hospital Albert Royer, Dakar.
