Uncommon presentation of Meckel's diverticulum in a child with decompensated hypovolemic shock.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause serious complications such as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, or inflammation with/without perforation, which can present with non-spe-cific symptoms and signs. We report on the case of a 2.5-year-old boy admitted to our emergency department in poor condition, with compatible signs of decompensated hypovolemic shock.

Urinary continence after high urogenital sinus repair conducted with posterior prone approach: electromyography-uroflowmetric assessment.

Purpose: We aimed to present the results of urinary continence assessment objectively with electromyography (EMG)-uroflowmetry after high urogenital sinus (HUGS) repair with posterior prone approach without division of rectum.

Methods: The records of patients who underwent HUGS repair via posterior prone approach between January 2005 and July 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Incontinence, dysuria, hesitation, and straining during urination were evaluated during the clinical follow-up.

Laparoscopic Excision of the Retroperitoneal Mullerian Cyst in a Different Location.

Background: Herein, we report laparoscopic excision of a retroperitoneal Mullerian cyst, which is uniquely located medial to the left adrenal gland, mimicking adrenal adenoma in an adolescent girl.

Case: A healthy 13-year-old adolescent girl presented with secondary amenorrhea. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid-cystic mass medial to the left adrenal gland.

Successful outcomes in adolescent varicocele treatment with high-level laparoscopic varicocelectomy.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of testicular vein ligation level on complications encountered; i.e. high-level ligation cranial to the linea terminalis vs ligation caudal to the linea terminalis.

Testicular Ischemia Caused by Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia in Infants: Incidence, Conservative treatment procedure, and Follow-up.

Purpose: Testicular ischemia and necrosis, especially in the infant age, may result from incarcerated inguinal hernia. Duration of ischemia is a significant factor for the affected testicle. We aimed to present a case series on the conservative management in the testicular ischemia caused by incarcerated inguinal hernia.

Distribution of interstitial cells of Cajal in the bladders of fetal rats with retinoic acid induced myelomeningocele.

Objective: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is one of the most common reason of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children. Although neurogenic bladder dysfunction occurrence is related with bladder innervation, also there are some changes seen in the smooth muscle and neural cells of the bladder. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are the pacemaker cells found in organs with peristaltic activity.

Nuss procedure: Technical modifications to ease bending of the support bar and lateral stabilizer placement.

Background: Modifications defined to ease bending of the support bar and lateral stabilizer placement during minimal invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) have not been reported. We herein report our experience with MIRPE including several technical modifications.

Methods: A total of 87 patients who underwent MIRPE were evaluated retrospectively.

Conventional single-port laparoscopic appendectomy for complicated appendicitis in children: Efficient and cost-effective.

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is gradually gaining popularity among paediatric surgeons for complicated appendicitis. A retrospective study was conducted to compare conventional single port LA, multiport LA and open appendectomy (OA) for complicated appendicitis in children.

Patients And Methods: From January 1995 from December 2014, 1,408 patients (604 girls, 804 boys) underwent surgery for uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis.
