[Surgical treatment of anorectal diseases in children]

Insights

Posterior sagittal and abdomino-posterior sagittal anoplasty are effective surgical treatments for anorectal diseases in children. These procedures yield positive immediate and long-term outcomes for high and moderate disease forms.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Anorectal Malformations

Background:

  • Anorectal diseases in children require effective surgical interventions.
  • Various surgical approaches exist for treating these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical techniques for anorectal diseases in pediatric patients.
  • To identify optimal surgical methods for achieving positive treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of treatment results for 189 children aged 6 months to 3 years and older.
  • Comparison of outcomes following different surgical variants, including posterior sagittal and abdomino-posterior sagittal anoplasty.

Main Results:

  • Positive immediate and long-term results were observed in patients treated with posterior sagittal anoplasty.
  • Abdomino-posterior sagittal anoplasty also demonstrated favorable outcomes for high and mean forms of anorectal diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Posterior sagittal and abdomino-posterior sagittal anoplasty are effective surgical options for pediatric anorectal diseases.
  • These surgical approaches lead to successful short-term and lasting results in affected children.

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
