Objectives: Percutaneous tracheostomy is rarely performed in children, especially in infants. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the complications and outcomes of PT via the Griggs technique according to the age and size of pediatric patients.
Methods: This study included 110 PICU patients who underwent PT using the Griggs technique between 2012 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation in the scrotum due to a patent processus vaginalis, and this study compares traditional open repair (OR) with laparoscopic repair (LR) techniques in a single medical center.
- A retrospective analysis of 113 patients who underwent hydrocele repair between August 2016 and November 2022 showed that OR was the standard method until late 2021, when LR began to gain preference due to its observed success.
- The results indicated that the recurrence rate for LR was significantly lower at 2.12% compared to 10.6% for OR, suggesting that laparoscopy provides better visualization and can effectively address intrabdominal connections associated with hydrocele.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of postoperative hypophosphatemia on liver regeneration after major liver surgery in the scenario of Associating Liver Partition with Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) and living liver donation (LLD).
Background: Hypophosphatemia has been described to reflect the metabolic demands of regenerating hepatocytes. Both ALPPS and LLD are characterized by an exceptionally strong liver regeneration and may be of particular interest in the context of posthepatectomy hypophosphatemia.
Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a well-established, life-saving treatment for children with irreversible acute and chronic liver failure (LF). We aimed to evaluate the factors associated with morbidity and mortality in the early period of LT in children by reviewing our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) experience.
Methods: We reviewed children`s medical records followed in the PICU after LT between May 2015-August 2021, including demographic parameters, indications for LT, operative variables, respiratory and circulatory support requirements, LT-related complications and survival.
Background: The aims of this study were to investigate biliary complications in liver transplant recipients with choledochocholedocho stomy anastomosis, to identify the risk factors for the development of such complications, and to evaluate the success of endoscopic approaches in liver transplant recipients.
Methods: Between January 2013 and May 2021, a total of 238 patients with liver diseases underwent liver transplantation: 174 recipients undergoing choledochocholedochostomy anastomosis were included in the analysis.
Results: Their median age was 54.
