Metabolic profile and outcome of pre- and post-ampullary gastrointestinal obstruction in children: Conventional or unconventional wisdom.

Background: Conventionally, it is well accepted that the intestinal obstructions in children, especially gastric outlet obstruction are associated with significant metabolic derangement which has impact on its outcome. The study aimed to compare the metabolic profile and treatment outcome of pre- and post-ampullary gastrointestinal obstruction in children at a tertiary care setting.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 30 children with intestinal obstruction and categorised into Group 1 (pre-ampullary, n = 11) and Group 2 (post-ampullary, n = 19) as per their anatomical site of pathology.

Efficacy and Safety of Supracostal Access for Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Pediatric Patients.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of supracostal percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) through the 11th intercostal space and compare it with subcostal PCNL in children with renal calculi.

Materials And Methods: Children with renal calculi who underwent PCNL between January 2010 and December 2017 were divided into 2 groups: supracostal PCNL (group 1) and subcostal PCNL (group 2). Stone location, stone burden, location of the access points, operative time, postoperative visual pain score, success rate, hospital stay, and complications according to the modified Clavien classification were compared.
