January 2016
Background: Surgical treatment for high anorectal malformations has evolved over the years with introduction of posterior sagittal anorectoplasty in the early 80s. Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty is being perfomed in many centres which necessitates a review of its outcomes in Benin City, Nigeria.
Aim: To report a 10-year outcome and experience gained with posterior saggital anorectoplasty for children diagnosed with high anorectal malformation.
Background: Conventional posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) for high anorectal malformation (ARM) involves initial colostomy creation with its attendant complications, but primary PSARP in neonates requires no initial colostomy.
Objectives: To report on locally adapted inclusion criteria and outcomes of primary PSARP in neonates in Benin City.
Materials And Methods: Babies who presented during the first week of life in clinically stable conditions, without cardiac anomaly, and had hemogram and blood chemistry within normal ranges, were included in this prospective study undertaken at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in 2008-2011.
Introduction: Road traffic accident (RTA) is a common cause of pediatric trauma death and disability, constituting a worldwide loss of financial resources and potential manpower. This study was designed to determine the causes, prehospital care, presentation, and injuries that resulted in deaths among pediatric victims of RTA in Nigeria, and to make suggestions, based on the study data, to reduce RTA deaths.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of pediatric RTA presenting to a Nigerian referral center.
Background: The wide spectrum of circumcision urethral injury/fistula makes selection of appropriate repair methods challenging in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper reports on the outcome of repair-oriented categorization in a Nigerian center.
