    Notes: Summary We performed an open experimental study for evaluation of rapidly absorbable material of bovine serosa for diaphragm replacement. A total of 100 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups of equal size. In the control group (n=20) incision of the diaphragm was followed by primary suture. The animals of the four other groups underwent partial resection of the left hemidiaphragm. The defects were repaired by lyophilized dura, polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), autologous transversus muscle or rapidly absorbable bovine serosa. We performed electromyography (EMG) and postmortem physical examinations of elasticity and load capacity of the different materials as well as histologic examinations after three and six months. A total of 89 animals survived and were subject to the analysis. There were no differences between the groups concerning growth and weight gain. The EMG showed normal function for the absorbable material and the transversus muscle. Only scanty physiologic waves were registered in the PTFE group. Load capacity measurements showed the lowest value of 4.71 N for the native diaphragm; all other materials had much higher values (17.66 N – 51.99 N) with a peak load capacity in the PTFE group. Measurements of elasticity displayed similar results. The native diaphragm had the lowest value (1516 N/m); much higher values were found in all the other materials tested (3905 N/m – 7654 N/m) with again peak values for PTFE. The differences of all materials compared to native diaphragm were statistically significant (p〈0.05). The histologic examinations revealed strong foreign body reactions in the dura and PTFE groups. The absorbable bovine serosa had vanished three months postoperatively. Short-term absorbable bovine serosa tested successfully as a partial replacement of the diaphragm in this experimental study on rats. There may be additional indications for this material if a temperary replacement is intended.

    Notes: Summary It is impossible to determine whether or not a child will develop a contralateral hernia after inguinal hernia repair. There exists no risk score for the occurrence of a contralateral hernia. This well-known fact prompted us to perform the underlying study. In a retrospective trial, we reviewed the files of all children operated on for inguinal hernias in our department from January 1986 until December 1994. During this period, we performed 1721 hernia repairs on 1708 children aged 0–16 years. In 96 (5.6%) of these patients, the indication to operate was a contralateral hernia following previous unilateral repair. Comparison of the ages at the time of primary inguinal repair of those children who developed a contralateral hernia (n=96) and those who did not (n=1612) showed a significantly increased incidence of contralateral hernias if the primary operation was performed before the age of two months (p〈0.0001). Diseases predisposing to hernias were found in 38% of all children (prematurity, dystrophia, ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, ascites, asthma). The authors recommend a contralateral exploration for children under the age of two months if they have any predisposing disease.

    Notes: Abstract Tumors of the ovary in girls represent about 80% of pediatric genital tumors; approximately 30% of these tumors are malignant. The risk of malignancy increases with decreasing age. The most frequent finding is a teratoma; other tumors are rare. Small-cell carcinoma (SCCO) of the ovary is extremely rare, occurring mostly in young women. We present an 8-year-old girl with a SCCO of the hypercalcemic type. The findings and treatment are discussed with emphasis on the poor prognosis in these patients, even in stage 1 disease. The current literature is reviewed.

    Notes: Abstract To evaluate absorbable materials for use for replacement of the diaphragm, we implanted materials in experimentally-created diaphragmatic defects in pigs. As a short-term absorbable material, bovine serosa (BS) was used. Its absorption was complete after 4–6 weeks. In a control group, the defect was repaired with a continuous running polypropylene suture. In two other groups the defect was closed with lyophilized dura (LD) and a modified transverse abdominal muscle flap according to Hecker, respectively. Physical studies (load capacity and elasticity) and histologic investigations were performed in one-half of the animals of each group after 3 and 6 months, respectively. Considering their physical properties, it could be shown that all materials tested are suitable for replacement of the diaphragm, but that BS best resembled native diaphragm. We conclude that short-term absorbable BS is suitable for replacement of the diaphragm in pigs.

    Notes: Abstract Abdominal cysts in girls are frequently observed by abdominal ultrasound (US) and are usually ovarian. In this case a cystic structure located in the right abdomen was seen in a female newborn without symptoms and was initially described as a possible ovarian cyst. Frequent US examinations showed an increase in volume and diameter, and temporary, recurring episodes of hyperbilirubinemia were observed. The US scans showed no relationship to the biliary tree. During a diagnostic laparoscopy, a cystic structure attached to the pyloric region was seen. A laparotomy revealed a cystic duplication of the stomach, which could be resected completely. The finding is discussed emphasizing the importance of clinical findings and diagnostic methods in the diagnosis and management of abdominal cystic masses in females.

    Notes: Abstract Gas gangrene is not a frequently encountered toxic wound infection in childhood. We present a case of postoperative Clostridium perfringens infection with proximal forearm myonecrosis. In order to reveal the full extent of tissue viability in the right upper extremity, infrared thermography was performed. Although dyschromia was evident in the proximal forearm, thermographs revealed viable tissue only up to the supracondylar region. Angiography, which provided valuable clues to the patency of the vascular supply, and subsequent intraoperative findings confirmed the extent of tissue perfusion as revealed by infrared thermography.

    Notes: Abstract. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is becoming a standard procedure in pediatric surgery. Anterior gastropexy is often performed in antireflux procedures, as well as in children with recurrent and intermittent volvulus of the stomach. We present a simple and secure technique for anterior laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Inzidenz von Leistenhernien im Kindesalter beträgt 1–2%, bei Frühgeborenen steigt sie bis auf 30% an. In 9,5% der Fälle ist nach unilateraler Hernienversorgung mit der Ausbildung einer kontralateralen Hernie zu rechnen. Bei den eigenen Patienten bildete sich bei 96 Kindern (5,6%) eine kontralaterale Hernie aus. Signifikante Unterschiede bestanden hinsichtlich des Geschlechts. Jungen sind häufiger von der Ausbildung einer kontralateralen Hernie betroffen als Mädchen. War eine Hernie in den ersten 2 Lebensmonaten aufgetreten, so mußte im späteren Leben hochsignifikant mit dem Auftreten einer kontralateralen Hernie gerechnet werden (p〉0,0001). Diese tritt in 84,9% der Fälle innerhalb der beiden ersten postoperativen Jahre auf. Daher halten wir die routinemäßige Simultanoperation der kontralateralen Seite bei Kindern 〈2 Monaten für indiziert.
    Notes: Abstract Inguinal hernia is a frequent surgical disease during infancy, occuring in 1 to 2% of all mature newborns and rise up to 30% of all premature babies. In 9.5% a contralateral hernia is found after unilateral operation. In our own patients this rate was 5.6%. The development of a contralateral hernia was significantly more often found in boys than in girls. If the hernia occured during the first two months of life, a contralateral hernia developed later highly significant (p〉0.0001). Within the first two postoperative years the second hernia arose in 84.9%. We recommended to routinely operation for a contralateral hernia in all children younger than two months.
