RESUMEN
Objetivos. La colecistectomía laparoscópica (CL) es un procedimiento muy habitual en adultos, pero no es tan frecuente en la edad pediátrica. Nos preguntamos si existen diferencias entre ambas poblaciones en cuanto a morbilidad y evolución postoperatoria. Material y métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de 39 casos consecutivos que precisaron CL en nuestro Servicio entre 2003-2013 y de una muestra similar de casos intervenidos en el Servicio de Cirugía General del mismo centro en pacientes entre 18 y 40 años. Resultados. 39 niños y 40 adultos cumplieron criterios para incluirse en el estudio. La indicación más frecuente fue la colelitiasis en ambos grupos. El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue significativamente mayor en los niños (niños: 127 min, adultos: 70 min, p< 0,01) pero no encontramos diferencias significativas en la tasa de reconversión o la incidencia de complicaciones (niños: 7.7%, adultos 15%). En cuanto a los factores preoperatorios, solo el sexo masculino se relacionó con mayor incidencia de complicaciones (p 0,037). Por otra parte descubrimos que, en ausencia de complicaciones, la estancia postoperatoria (niños: 2,1 días, adultos: 0,5 días), y el tiempo hasta tolerancia oral (niños: 21 h, adultos: 8 h) fueron significativamente mayores en niños (p< 0,01). Conclusiones. 1) La CL en niños es un procedimiento seguro que no presenta más morbimortalidad que en adultos, a pesar de un mayor tiempo quirúrgico. 2) Creemos que el tiempo de ingreso más prolongado se debe en parte a una falta de confianza con la técnica y que la tendencia en el futuro debe encaminarse a fomentar un inicio temprano de la tolerancia y un alta precoz (AU)
Background. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a very usual procedure within adult population, but not as frequent in childhood. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of LC in children compared with those performed in adulthood. Materials and methods. We reviewed 39 consecutive patients who underwent LC between 2003 and 2013 at our Department and a similar sample of patients from 18 to 40 years of age from the General Surgery Department. Results. 39 children and 40 adults fulfilled criteria to be included in the study. The most frequent indication was cholelithiasis in both groups. The mean operating time was significantly higher among children (127 min, adults 71 min, p< 0.01) but we didnt find differences neither in conversion nor in complication rates (children 5% and 7.7%, adults 2.5% and 15% respectively). In regard to preoperative factors, only male gender was correlated to a higher complication rate (p 0.037). On the other hand we found out that, in absence of complications, both the average length of stay (children 2.1 days, adults 0.5 days) and mean time to first feeding (children 21 hours, adults 8 hours) were significantly higher among children (p< 0.01). Conclusions. 1) LC in childhood is a safe procedure that does not imply more morbidity than the same intervention in adults, even though a more prolonged operating time. 2) We believe that our longer hospital stay is due to certain lack of confidence with the technique and, in the future, the trend should be bent on encouraging a shorter time to first feeding and an earlier discharge (AU)

La extrofia de cloaca femenina enfrenta al cirujano pediá- trico con un reto en el que está implicada la reconstrucción del tracto genitourinario y digestivo así como su manejo funcional. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es presentar nuestra experiencia en el manejo de las malformaciones genitales en niñas con extrofia de cloaca así como de la continencia urinaria y fecal. Revisamos las historias clínicas de las pacientes tratadas en nuestro centro en las que se ha llegado a una corrección definitiva del espectro malformativo de la extrofia de cloaca. En las tres pacientes se ha realizado un cierre del cuello vesical y un estoma cateterizable continente a través del cual llevan a cabo un programa de autocateterismo vesical intermitente, manteniéndose secas. Con respecto a la integración psicosexual, las tres pacientes están satisfechas con el resultado cosmético obtenido, aunque sólo una de ellas mantiene relaciones sexuales. El manejo de la extrofia de cloaca femenina debe tener en cuenta tanto los factores anatómicos como funcionales. La reconstrucción genital en niñas con extrofia de cloaca requiere un plan ajustado en cada paciente y en ocasiones realizar varias intervenciones hasta que la paciente esté satisfecha con el resultado tanto cosmético como funciona (AU)
Cloacal exstrophy is a complex multisistemic anomaly thatinvolves gastrointestinal and genitourinary issues. The aim of our paper is to report our experience in dealing with genital reconstruction and faecal and urinary continence in patients with female cloacal anomalies. We reviewed the clinical records from the three patients we have achieved a final reconstruction. We recorded the surgical management and both functional and anatomic results. The three of them required a bladder neck closure associated with a continent stoma, they are dry with intermittent catheterization and free of upper urinary complications. Genital reconstruction required a unique plan for each one, according to their anatomy and their cosmetic desires. One of the patients reported satisfactory sexual intercourse. Management of patients with cloacal exstrophy has major concerns about urinary and fecal continence and about genital reconstruction and function. Knowing the long-term results may help to develop management strategies and improve counselling for patients who have undergone reconstruction (AU)

Ante un recién nacido con genitales ambiguos, la prioridad debe ser asignar un sexo. Hay que considerar que tanto el diagnóstico como el plan de tratamiento son una urgencia. Un equipo multidisciplinario compuesto por neonatólogos, endocrinólogos, cirujanos pediátricos y genetistas, junto con los padres, debe decidir el sexo. La decisión depende de la anatomía del paciente, y suele ser femenino, ya que técnicamente es más fácil reconstruir los genitales como niña que como niño. Una vez asignado el sexo más apropiado, se realizarán los tratamientos quirúrgicos necesarios, siendo nuestra propuesta la corrección precoz (si es posible neonatal) y en un solo tiempo (AU)

OBJECTIVES: To develop the first Spanish Pediatric Trauma Registry to collect and evaluate infomation concerning aspects of injuries in our pediatric population. METHODS: From January 1995 to August 1998, 35,946 children younger than 16 years were treated in our hospital for acute injury: 1500 were admitted and included in our database. Our file registry consists of 108 data points including: patient identification, type, place and mechanism of injury, pre-hospital care, transport, assessment on admission, severity scores, diagnostic studies, injuries, treatment morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Accidents were more frequent in males (68%) than in females. The predominant age group was 12-15 years of age (34%). Accidents were more frequent in the street (35.1%) than at home (18.9%) or school (13%). Falls and traffic-related accidents were the leading cause of injury (39% and 21.2%, respectively). Two hundred and thirty-five (15.7%) had a Pediatric Trauma Score < or = 8. Fifty of these sustained multiple trauma (33%) (Injury Severity Score > or = 15). Musculoskeletal and head trauma were the most frequent injuries (48.5% and 42.0%, respectively). Surgical or orthopedic procedures were performed in 906 patients (56.5%). The average length of stay was 4.5 days (range 1-93 days). Functional impairment in children older than 4 years of age was found in 413 children (33.3%). We encountered 7 deaths in the 1500 patients, or an overall mortality of 0.5%. These 7 deaths were only seen in the I.S.S. > or = 15 group (50 patients) with 14% mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The goals of this Registry are to establish the epidemiology of our injured pediatric population, to review patient care, to develop prevention programs and to compare results with other centers so that potential deficiencies can be corrected.

OBJECTIVES: We developed the first Spanish Pediatric Trauma Registry in order to collect and evaluate information concerning aspects of injuries in our pediatric population. METHODS: From January'95 to September'97, 28,713 children younger than 16 years were treated in our Hospital for acute injury: 1,200 were admitted and included in our database. Our file-registry consists of 108 data points including: patient identification, type, place and mechanism of injury, pre-hospital care, transport, assessment on admission, severity scores, diagnostic studies, injuries, treatments and morbidity-mortality. RESULTS: Accidents were more frequent in males (69%) than in females. The age-group predominantly was 12-15 years old (34%). Accidents were more frequent in the street (35.3%) than at home (18.7%) or school (14%). Falls and traffic-related accidents were the leading cause of injury (38 and 21.1%, respectively). The 16.7% of cases had Pediatric Trauma Score < or = 8 (n = 201). The 3.6% of this sustained multiple trauma (43 cases with Injury Severity Score > or = 15). Musculoskeletal and head trauma was the most frequent (62 and 42.3%, respectively). Surgical or orthopedic procedures were performed in 678 patients (56.5%). Average length of stay were 4.8 days (range 1-93 days), and functional impairments at discharge were found in 33.9% of patients older than 3 years (n = 338). Mortality rate in our series was 0.5% (n = 6), and 13.9% in children with ISS > or = 15. CONCLUSIONS: The utility of this Registry is to know the epidemiology of our injured pediatric population, to review patient care, to develop prevention programs and to compare results with other centers so potential deficiencies can be identified and corrected.

In the last 5 years we have treated in our service 98 patients suffering vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with 148 refluyents units (RU) in total. The VUR recurred in 9 ureters (6.08%) in children neurologically normal. A urodynamic study was made in them getting the following diagnosis, in 5 R. U. vesical dysfunction: 4 R. U. vesico-sphinteric dyssynergia and in 1 R. U. vesical hyperreflexia with uninhibited bladder contractions. In the remaining 4 R. U. the urodynamic study was normal.
