- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Context:
- Mallory-Weiss syndrome is a significant cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in children.
- Understanding the unique pediatric anatomy is crucial for managing this condition.
Purpose:
- To analyze treatment experiences for 18 pediatric cases of Mallory-Weiss syndrome.
- To explore the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for this condition in children.
Summary:
- The study reviewed 18 pediatric cases, with 6 requiring surgery (1 mortality).
- Endoscopy plays a vital diagnostic and therapeutic role.
- Treatment tactics are recommended based on blood loss and endoscopic findings.
Impact:
- Highlights the importance of endoscopy in diagnosing and managing pediatric Mallory-Weiss syndrome.
- Provides evidence-based recommendations for treatment strategies in children.
Abstract:
The article analyzes an experience with treatment of 18 children with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Six children were operated upon, one of them died. Questions of pathogenesis of this syndrome in children practice are considered on the basis of anatomo-physiological properties of the child's organism. Attention was paid to the diagnostic and medical role of endoscopy. The tactics of treatment of this disease is recommended based on reference of the blood loss degree and findings of the endoscopic examination.
