Caudal Duplication Syndrome Systematic Review-A Need for Better Multidisciplinary Surgical Approach and Follow-Up.

Caudal duplication syndrome is a rare association of anatomical anomalies describing duplication of the hindgut, spine, and uro-genital structures, leading to varied clinical presentations. The current literature focuses on case reports which describe the embryological etiology and anatomical spectrum of the condition giving little attention to the surgical preparation, the need for a well-structured follow-up program, or the transition into adult healthcare of these complex patients. No reviews have been published regarding this complex pathology.

Total Colonic Hirschsprung's Disease: The Hypermotility and Skin Rash Protocol.

Introduction:  Total colonic Hirschsprung's disease (TCHD) presents a postoperative challenge due to multiple stools and perineal rash. We propose a protocol developed by pediatric surgeons and ostomy nurses to help prevent and treat hypermotility and severe perineal rash, especially in younger children who are not toilet trained.

Materials And Methods:  We retrospectively reviewed our TCHD patients' charts from 2014 to 2017.
