Laparoscopic partial splenectomy for congenital splenic cyst in a pediatric patient: Case report and review of literature.

Non-parasitic splenic cysts (NPSC) are a rare condition that makes difficult to know their true incidence and represent 10% of all benign splenic cysts, they can be either congenital with the presence of epithelial lining that originate from invagination of the capsular mesothelial lining or post-traumatic with absence of epithelial lining. We present our management of a splenic congenital cyst in a pediatric patient. A 10-year-old female patient presented to the clinic complaining with a 3-week abdominal pain at the left upper quadrant.

Sigmoid fixation associated with rectopexy using a laparoscopic approach could prevent relapse of rectal prolapse in pediatric patients with spinal dysraphia.

Unlabelled: Recurrent rectal prolapse, resistant to medical treatment, is an indication for surgical treatment. Patients with spinal dysraphia frequently have already been treated by sclerotherapy or other surgical techniques, but unsuccessfully.

Methods: We present 2 patients, who underwent laparoscopic rectopexy, with spinal dysraphia and complete rectal prolapse relapse after conservative treatment.

Two reports of acute neonatal acalculous cholecystitis (necrotizing cholecystitis) in a 2-week-old premature infant and a term neonate.

We present 2 cases of acute acalculous cholecystitis, an extremely rare entity in newborns. A number of risk factors have been identified, such as inspissated bile, prematurity, sepsis, dehydration, total parenteral nutrition, medications, and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. In our cases, gallbladder bile had positive bacterial cultures for E coli.
