Clinical characteristics and treatment of esophageal atresia: a single institutional experience.

Purpose: Treatment for esophageal atresia has advanced over several decades due to improvements in surgical techniques and neonatal intensive care. Subsequent to increased survival, postoperative morbidity has become an important issue in this disease. The aim of our study was to analyze our experience regarding the treatment of esophageal atresia.

Cerebral toxoplasmosis combined with disseminated tuberculosis.

A 24-year-old man presented with mental change, fever, abdominal pain, tenderness and palpable mass on the lower abdomen. He was a non-Korean engineer and did not accompany a legal guardian, so medical history taking was difficult due to his mental status. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple rim-enhanced lesions of the brain, and abdominal computed tomography showed huge paraspinal abscess.

Laparoscopic total intracorporeal correction of choledochal cyst in pediatric population.

Background: The laparoscopic correction of the choledochal cyst is an attractive treatment option. However, even the skilled surgeons do not prefer the intracorporeal jejunojejunal anastomosis due to the technical difficulties. In this article, we present the feasibility of laparoscopic total intracorporeal correction of the choledochal cyst, including the retrocolic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy.

Giant Meckel's diverticulum associated with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Giant Meckel's diverticulum is a very rare lesion and its association with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia has not been reported previously. We report a case of newborn with a giant Meckel's diverticulum and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. A large round atypical air-filled bowel segment was found by chest radiography preoperatively, and a giant Meckel's diverticulum was located within the left hemithorax during surgery.

Slide cricotracheoplasty: a novel surgical technique for congenital cricotracheal stenosis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a new surgical technique for the correction of congenital cricotracheal stenosis.

Methods: A 5-day-old girl presented with esophageal atresia and congenital cricotracheal stenosis. After successfully correcting her esophageal atresia, the authors chose to use a type of slide cricotracheoplasty, which was a modification of slide tracheoplasty and anterior cricoid split.

Magnetic resonance cholangiography for the diagnosis of biliary atresia.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) for the diagnosis of biliary atresia in infantile cholestatic jaundice.

Methods: Forty-seven consecutive infants with cholestatic jaundice underwent single-shot MRC. The diagnosis of biliary atresia was made by MRC based on the nonvisualization of extrahepatic bile ducts and excluded on the basis of the complete visualization of extrahepatic bile ducts.

Morphometric evaluation of PGP9.5 and NCAM expressing nerve fibers in colonic muscle of patients with Hirschsprung's disease.

A quantitative assessment of the density of the protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), and the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) expressing nerve fibers in the circular muscle layer in the colon was carried out by morphometric analyses from 13 patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD).
