Q-island flap urethroplasty: 1-stage procedure for reconstruction of Y-type urethral duplications in children.

Purpose: We review our experience with Q-flap urethroplasty in children with Y-type urethral duplication.

Materials And Methods: Six children with Y-type urethral duplication underwent 1-stage urethral reconstruction using Q-flap urethroplasty between 1988 and 2012. The ventral hypospadiac urethra was always the functional one, and, therefore, was used for urethroplasty.

Hypercalcemia in a child with juvenile granulosa cell tumor of ovary: Report of an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome and review of the literature.

► Hypercalcemia is an extremely rare paraneoplastic syndrome in children. ► Small cell carcinoma is the commonest ovarian tumor associated with hypercalcemia. ► Small cell carcinoma must be ruled out because of poor prognosis.

Laparoscopic treatment of renal cancer in children: a multicentric study and review of oncologic and surgical complications.

Objective: The aim was to report a multicentric study with a longer follow-up to evaluate the laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in children with renal cancer.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective multicentric study, from October 2005 to January 2012, of children who underwent a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for small renal malignant tumors.

Results: Seventeen children were included in this study.

Acute gastric volvulus: an unreported long-term complication of pericardial drainage.

We report the case of a girl who had tetralogy of fallot (TOF) repaired at birth without any associated diaphragmatic hernia. At the age of 2½ years, she experienced an upper gastrointestinal occlusion. At laparoscopy an organoaxial gastric volvulus was observed related to a peritoneal adhesion secondary to pericardial drainage that had been performed at the time of the TOF repair.

Portal venous gas and thrombosis complicating superior mesenteric artery syndrome (Wilkie's syndrome) in a child.

We report a case of a 10-year-old girl presenting with portal venous gas and thrombosis associated with superior mesenteric artery syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome complicated by gastric wall pneumatosis, portal venous gas, and thrombosis in childhood. Although these complications usually lead to bowel resection in adults and result in a high mortality rate, our pediatric patient was successfully treated nonoperatively with intensive care management and jejunal tube feedings.

Severe bladder dysfunction revealed prenatally or during infancy.

Objective: Although thought to be an acquired condition, non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder may sometimes be a congenital dysfunction, revealed before toilet training. We report our experience with the condition diagnosed prenatally or during early infancy.

Patients And Method: We retrospectively reviewed cases of severe bladder dysfunction with upper-tract impairment, without neurological or obstructive pathology, in children diagnosed before toilet training: five with prenatal diagnosis of severe hydro-ureteronephrosis (group 1) and six with signs of bladder dysfunction during infancy (group 2).

[Nonoperative management of splenic trauma in children].

In haemodynamically stable children with splenic trauma, conservative treatment is recommended to preserve the spleen and prevent potentially lethal post-splenectomy infectious complications. We report on the case of a 11-year-old child who suffered a fistula of a huge subcapsular splenic hematoma into the colon, 16 days after the traumatism. Decision to sustain the non-operative treatment allowed the preservation of the spleen without complications.
