Ileocolic Enteroenteric Fistula in Small Bowel Obstruction With Cecum Perforation in the Pediatric Age Group: A Case Report of a Rare Complication.

Enteroenteric fistula in the pediatric age group is an unusual presentation. It can create a diagnostic dilemma for the physician, particularly in the absence of any previous surgery, prolonged abdominal symptoms, or inflammatory bowel disease. The patient is a 10-year-old girl who presented with mild-grade fever, abdominal distension, scanty stool passage, and foul-smelling vomiting for the past 10 days.

Role of [18F]FDG - PET/CT Scan in Cervical Tuberculosis.

Background: Distribution and quantification of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and elicitation of response antitubercular therapy via F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission-based Tomography/ Computed Tomography(F18-FDG PET/CT).

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective Pilot study. In this study 30 patients of age between 15 to 36 years(mean 26.

Firearm Injuries in Children: Four-year Experience from a Rural Tertiary Care Centre of Northern India.

Background: Firearm injuries (FAIs) continue to be a global public health problem possessing substantial emotional, physical and financial burdens on hospital resources. Although FAIs are rare in children, their incidence is gradually increasing.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate various aspects of FAI in children that were managed at a tertiary care centre located in the rural part of India.

Surgical Technique of Glans Wings Creation with Preservation of Glanular Vascular Arcade and Creating Flaps for Tension-Free Glansplasty in Hypospadias Repair.

Objective: The objective of this study is to report the technical nuances of glans wings creation in anatomical plane facilitating liberal glans wings mobilization with preservation of glanular vessels for tension-free glansplasty in surgery of hypospadias in primary and redo cases.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-six primary hyposapdias and 7 cases of distal hypospadias, operated elsewhere and presented with glans and urethroplasty dehiscence, undergoing tubularized-incised-plate (TIP) repair were included after ethical approval. Technical points of glans wings creation in the subfascial plane included (i) creation of Buck's fascia window, just proximal and lateral to the point of bifurcation of corpus spongiosum, (ii) creation of subfascial-pret unical plane on the tunica albuginea of corpora cavernosa up to ventral limit of laid open glanular meatus, (iii) release of pillars of corpus spongiosum off the glans base keeping the basal lamina propria covering the vascular arcade intact, (iv) release of glans base off the tip of corpora cavernosa and composite flap of corpus spongiosum pillars with Buck's fascia off the corpora cavernosa, (v) approximation of glans wings over the tubularized-incised-plate covered with dartos, and (vi) approximation of fasciospongioplasty flaps at hypospadiac meatus.

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors: Can it be a Potential Treatment of Infantile Hemangioma.

Aims: The aim of the sudy was to evaluate potential role of oral captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and in treatment of infantile hemagioma (IH) and report our preliminary results.

Methods: This prospective study included 18 children with IH admitted in the department of pediatric surgery with no history of prior treatment of any type. Baseline blood pressure (BP), electrocardiogram, two-dimensional echocardiography, serum electrolytes, and renal function test (RFT) were noted.

Evaluation and management of rectovaginal fistula in anorectal malformation: an observational study.

Purpose: The rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is a type of female ARM in which the rectum terminates in the vagina. Due to its rarity, there are limited reports on its presentation, management, and follow-up. This paper deals with the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of RVF.

Supernumerary Kidney Associated With Horseshoe Malformation and Ureteric Stricture With Hydroureteronephrosis - A Rare Case.

Supernumerary kidney is an accessory kidney with its own vasculature, collecting-system and encapsulated parenchyma with about 100 cases reported in the literature. However, there is no report of supernumerary kidney associated with horseshoe malformation with ureteric stricture. We report a rare case of 20 months old female admitted with left-sided abdomen lump and mild abdominal pain.
