Abstract
BACKGROUND While ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the recommended way to restore intestinal continuity after total proctocolectomy, straight ileoanal anastomoses (SIAA) are still selectively performed, especially in the pediatric population. In case of SIAA failure, conversion to IPAA is possible, but reports on its outcomes are scarce. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected database on pelvic pouches, and identified patients with a SIAA that was converted to IPAA. Our aim was long-term functional outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were included (14 females, median age at SIAA 15 years, median age at conversion to IPAA 19 years). The indication for SIAA was ulcerative colitis in 17 (74%) cases, indeterminate colitis in 2 (9%) cases, and familial adenomatous polyposis in 4 (17%) cases. The indication for IPAA conversion was incontinence/poor quality of life in 12 (52%) cases, sepsis in 8 (35%) cases, anastomotic stricture in 2 (9%) cases, and prolapse in one (4%) case. The majority were diverted at IPAA conversion (22, 96%). Three (13%) patients never had stoma closure, due to patient wishes, failed healing of vaginal fistula, and pelvic sepsis, respectively. After a median follow up of 109 months (28-170), pouch failure occurred in 5 additional patients. Overall pouch survival was 71% at 5 years. Median quality of life was 8/10, of health 8/10, and of energy 7/10. Median satisfaction with surgery was 9.5/10. CONCLUSION Conversion of SIAA to IPAA leads to acceptable long-term outcomes and good quality of life, and can safely be offered to patients with problems related to SIAA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Since the mid-20th century, physicians have searched for way to improve the lives of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Early attempts of curative resection left the patients with a permanent stoma with only primitive stoma appliances available. Gradually, stoma care improved and operations were devised to give the patient bowel continuity without the need for a permanent ostomy. As these operations were evolving, benefits and drawbacks related to fertility, ease of small bowel reach to the pelvis, and postoperative pelvic sepsis were observed. In this article, we will elucidate the various ways pelvic pouches are used to treat UC and the rationale for the timing of surgery as well as the evolution of stoma care.

Abstract
Background Typically, in cases of adenomatous polyposis, colorectal cancer develops in the third or fourth decade of life. We report the case of a female patient with colorectal polyposis who developed adenocarcinoma at 8 years of age. Case presentation An 8-year-old girl was admitted with a 4-year history of occasional bloody stools. Colonoscopy revealed colon polyposis and histopathological assessment confirmed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the adenomatous polyps, so laparoscopy-assisted proctocolectomy was performed in the lithotomy position by a simultaneous abdominal and anal approach. To completely resect the rectal mucosa, excision was commenced just distal to the dentate line. After the mucosal resection up to the peritoneal reflection level, an inverted muscular cuff was cut circumferentially, and the terminal ileum was pulled through the muscular cuff and anastomosed to the anal canal. Histopathology revealed multiple adenomatous polyps and scattered well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinomas (tub1) in the adenomatous polyps and the non-polypoid mucosal lesions. Because complete resection was achieved, additional adjuvant chemotherapy was not administered. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct sequencing of the entire coding region and the exon–intron junctions, and real-time PCR of DNA extracted from blood cells, revealed no mutations of either APC or MUTYH. No deletions, duplications, translocations or inversions of APC, MUTYH and GREM1 genes were found using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and G-banding analysis. Multi-gene panels sequencing for polyposis syndromes or hereditary colorectal cancers, and trio-whole exome sequencing was conducted. However, no candidate pathogenic variants of genes were detected in de novo dominant or autosomal recessive model. Somatic mutation of APC was not detected in 4 polyps by loss of heterozygosity analysis at a single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 14. The patient has remained disease-free for 5 years. Currently, the patient is on loperamide and passes stool 5 times/day without any soiling. Conclusions The genetic analysis suggests that she may have a germline mutation at unscreened region of these genes or in unidentified FAP gene. The patient will be carefully followed up for residual rectal carcinoma and for the development of other cancers.

Advantages of total proctocolectomy with straight ileoanal anastomosis plus pedicled omental transposition for familial adenomatous polyposis: a preliminary study. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:20.

Abstract
Purpose To achieve excellent postoperative bowel function in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, it is important to reconstruct the digestive tract. The aim of this study is to preliminarily discuss the advantages of total proctocolectomy with straight ileoanal anastomosis (TPC-SIAA) plus pedicled omental transposition for FAP. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in two hospitals analysing data for FAP patients who underwent surgical treatments between 2015 and 2021. Perioperative outcomes and early and mid-term anal functions were analysed. Results After excluding 4 patients who underwent total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy, 10 patients were enrolled in the study. Among the 10 patients, 3 received TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition, 3 received total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TPC-IPAA), and 4 received total colectomy with ileal pouch-rectal anastomosis (TC-IPRA). Except for one case conversion to laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery was performed for the other cases. The incidence of early postoperative complications was apparently higher with pouch anastomosis (57.1%) than straight anastomosis (0%). Frequencies of bowel movement and low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) score were higher for TPC-SIAA than the other two surgical procedures in the early term; over time, however, the frequencies of bowel movement and LARS score both showed a decreasing trend. In addition, combined with anorectal pressure detection and magnetic resonance imaging defecography at the 3rd month after TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition, defecation coordination was good. The dynamics and receptivity of the new rectum tended to be as expected. Conclusion Although the three surgical procedures are safe and feasible surgical options for FAP, TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition is more consistent with intestinal physiology, with good intestinal compliance, and anal function tended to be as expected over time. Nevertheless, more extensive studies are needed to confirm these benefits.

Abstract
Background: Patients suffering from complete colonic aganglionosis (TCA) require the best surgical care possible. Only a few studies reported J-Pouch repair as the primary reconstructive surgery in TCA patients. This study adds to the current literature a thorough clinical and functional outcomes group. Methods: Between 2011 and 2021, medical records of Hirschsprung disease (HD) patients who underwent J-Pouch reconstruction during infancy (n = 12) were reviewed. In close follow-up, bowel function and satisfaction with operation results were evaluated. The median age at the time of J-Pouch reconstruction was 16 months, and covering ileostomies were closed four months later. There were no postoperative problems. After the final repair, Pouch-related problems (PRP) occurred in 27% of the children and were treated conservatively. There was no histological evidence of pouchitis in any of the individuals. The median 24-h stooling frequency was 4–5 at the latest follow-up 51 months following enterostomy closure. Conclusions: The current study’s findings support the existing literature and advocate for J-pouch repair in TCA patients. However, more research will be needed to determine the best time to undergo pouch surgery and ileostomy closure in TCA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present the surgical technique and outcomes of reduced-port laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-J-pouch anal canal anastomosis (IPACA) without diverting ileostomy for total colonic and extensive aganglionosis (TCA+). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed TCA+ cases between 2014 and 2022. Preoperative ileostomy was performed when transanal bowel irrigation was ineffective. Radical surgery for TCA+ was performed at approximately 6 kg. The surgery was performed using laparoscopy through a multi-channel trocar with or without an additional 3-mm trocar and IPACA reconstruction with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) to assess anastomotic perfusion and Lugol's iodine staining to visualize the surgical anal canal. RESULTS Ten patients with TCA+ were included. Ileostomy was performed in seven cases. The median operation time and blood loss were 274.5 min and 20 ml, respectively. No significant postoperative complications were found. All patients experienced frequent liquid stools and perianal excoriation in the early postoperative period, requiring anti-flatulence or codeine. The median follow-up period was 3.5 years. Three patients required irrigation management 1 year postoperatively, and the others defecated a median of 3.5 times per day. The median Kelly's clinical score was 5 in 5 patients aged >4 years. CONCLUSION Reduced-port surgery, combined with Lugol's iodine staining and ICG, was safe, feasible, and had cosmetically and clinically acceptable mid-term outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch-anorectal anastomosis (IPAA) remains the preferred surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC) in children. Considering the well-known advantages of minimally invasive approach, and its main application for the deep pelvis, robotic surgery may be used in UC reconstructive procedures. The aim of the study is to report our experience with Robotic IPAA in children. METHODS Single surgeon experience on Robotic IPAA were prospectively included. Data on patient demographics, surgical details, complications, and length of stay (LOS), were collected. RESULTS Fifteen patients were included. Median age was 13.2 years, median body weight 45 kg. Median operative time was 240 min. Median LOS was 7 days and mean follow-up time 1 year. No intraoperative complication occurred. Five postoperative complications happened: 3 minors treated conservatively (CD I-II), 2 majors needing reintervention under anesthesia (CD IIIb). No mortality was observed. CONCLUSION Our preliminary experience reveals that Robotic IPAA is a safe and feasible option for the surgical treatment of UC in children. A bigger patient sample and a long-term follow-up are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Polyps in gastrointestinal tract are mostly benign and result from hamartomas or lymphoid hyperplasia of submucosa. They usually occur as isolated lesions in children and are referred to as juvenile polyps. Multiple polyps with inherited origin are called polyposis and can be seen as a part of the syndrome. The polyps with adenomatous histopathology have malignant potential and necessitate genetic testing and colonoscopy to define the risk of cancer. Although simple endoscopic removal is adequate in the treatment of juvenile polyps, children with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) need total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) or ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). The timing of prophylactic colectomy and the type of surgical treatment are controversial in children. The clinical features, the assessment of cancer risk, and the alternatives of the surgical treatment of polyps are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
The incidence of paediatric Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing. Surgical intervention is required during childhood in approximately 25% of children diagnosed with CD, and for 10% of those diagnosed with UC. Although there is evidence that the rate of surgical intervention undertaken in children is decreasing since the introduction of biologic therapy, this may only represent a delay rather than true reversal of the risk of surgery. Surgery for CD is not curative and limited resection is the key principle thus preserving bowel length. For UC, subtotal colectomy is relatively curative; ileo-anal pouch anastomosis can be performed to restore bowel continuity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard of care for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). The rates of postoperative complications are not well established in children. The objective of this systematic review is to establish benchmark data for morbidity after pediatric IPAA. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and The Cochrane Library were searched for studies of colectomy with IPAA in patients ≤21 years old. UC studies were limited to the anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents era (1998-present). All postoperative complications were extracted. RESULTS Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria (763 patients). Compared to patients with FAP, UC patients had a higher prevalence of pouch loss (10.6% vs. 1.5%). Other major complications such as anastomotic leak, abscess, and fistula were uncommon (mean prevalence 4.9%, 4.2%, and 5.0%, respectively, for patients with UC; 8.7%, 4.2%, and 4.3% for FAP). The most frequent complication was pouchitis (36.4% of UC patients). CONCLUSIONS Devastating complications from colectomy and IPAA are rare, but patients with UC have poorer outcomes than those with FAP. Much of the morbidity may therefore stem from patient or disease factors. Multicenter, prospective studies are needed to identify modifiable risks in patients with UC undergoing IPAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the procedures of choice for restoration of intestinal continuity in ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. This systematic review aims to assess short-term postoperative and long-term functional outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing IPAA. METHODS A literature search was performed for all publications of pediatric IPAA in which short- and long-term outcomes were reported. Papers were excluded based on title, abstract, and full-length review. Data collection included patient demographics, medication use preoperatively, operative approach, 30-day postoperative outcomes, long-term functional outcomes (to maximal date of follow-up), and pouch failure rate. Outcomes were compared in those patients with and without perioperative corticosteroid exposure. Study quality and risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale as all studies were cohort studies. RESULTS Of 710 records reviewed, 42 full papers were included in the analysis. Rates of superficial surgical site infection, pelvic sepsis, ileus, and small bowel obstruction at <30 days were 10%, 11%, 10%, and 14%, respectively. Rates of pouchitis, stricture, chronic fistula tract, incontinence, and pouch failure were 30%, 17%, 12%, 20%, and 8%, respectively, at 37-109 months of follow-up; incontinence was significantly higher in those exposed to corticosteroids preoperatively (52% vs 20%; P < 0.001). The median daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour stool frequency were 5.3, 1.4, and 5 bowel movements, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IPAA is safe with good long-term functional outcomes in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contemporary management of ambulatory ulcerative colitis (UC) continues to be challenging with ∼20% of children needing a colectomy within childhood years. We thus aimed to standardize daily treatment of pediatric UC and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)-unclassified through detailed recommendations and practice points. METHODS These guidelines are a joint effort of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO) and the Paediatric IBD Porto group of European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). An extensive literature search with subsequent evidence appraisal using robust methodology was performed before 2 face-to-face meetings. All 40 included recommendations and 86 practice points were endorsed by 43 experts in Paediatric IBD with at least an 88% consensus rate. RESULTS These guidelines discuss how to optimize the use of mesalamine (including topical), systemic and locally active steroids, thiopurines and, for more severe disease, biologics. The use of other emerging therapies and the role of surgery are also covered. Algorithms are provided to aid therapeutic decision-making based on clinical assessment and the Paediatric UC Activity Index (PUCAI). Advice on contemporary therapeutic targets incorporating the use of calprotectin and the role of therapeutic drug monitoring are presented, as well as other management considerations around pouchitis, extraintestinal manifestations, nutrition, growth, psychology, and transition. A brief section on disease classification using the PIBD-classes criteria and IBD-unclassified is also part of these guidelines. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines provide a guide to clinicians managing children with UC and IBD-unclassified management to provide modern management strategies while maintaining vigilance around appropriate outcomes and safety issues.

Abstract
Colorectal adenomatous polyposis syndromes encompass a diverse group of disorders with varying modes of inheritance and penetrance. Children may present with overt disease or within screening programs for families at high risk. We provide an overview of the array of pediatric polyposis syndromes, current screening recommendations, and surgical indications and technical considerations. Optimal disease management for these pediatric patients is still evolving and has implications for screening, surveillance, pediatric surgical management, and transition of care gastroenterologic neoplasia physicians and surgeons.

Abstract
Children and young adults with ulcerative colitis tend to present with more extensive colonic disease than an adult population. The need for surgical intervention in the pediatric population with ulcerative colitis occurs earlier after diagnosis and has a greater incidence than a comparably matched adult population with an estimated need for colectomy at 5 years following diagnosis of 14-20%. Perhaps, even more than the adult population, there is a desire to restore intestinal continuity for the pediatric patient to achieve as healthy and normal quality of life as possible. With surgery playing such a prominent role in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in this age group, an understanding of the surgical treatment options that are available is important. The surgeon's awareness of the complexities of the different operations associated with proctocolectomy and reestablishing intestinal continuity may help to avoid early complications and minimize the risk of less than ideal long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Total colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is considered the standard procedure for the surgical management of ulcerative colitis. Despite the widespread utility of the procedure, as many as 75% of patients who undergo IPAA, experience at least 1 complication. This review highlights difficult intraoperative scenarios and complications of pouch surgery in children, including intraoperative, postoperative, and functional complications. Intraoperative scenarios include insufficient mesenteric length and positive leak tests. Postoperative complications include surgical site infection, anastomotic leak, stricture, fistula, pouchitis, small bowel obstruction, and pouch failure. Less common complications include afferent limb syndrome, pouch prolapse, and superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Functional complications include incontinence, impaired quality of life, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. Despite complications, most patients are satisfied with their outcomes and report an improvement in their lifestyle.

Abstract
AIMS To quantify the incidence of loss of an ileoanal pouch in children and to identify variables associated this event. METHODS Logistic regression of possible explanatory variables: age, sex, indication for procto-colectomy, pre-operative continence status, use of immunosuppressive drugs, open or laparoscopic surgery, number of stages, anastomotic leak, operative complication excluding anastomotic leak, performance of revisional surgery, albumin concentration and platelet count at time of surgery, rank order in series. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify significant variables which were then assessed in a multivariate model and construction of Kaplan-Meier graphs. RESULTS 103 children, 56 girls, underwent ileoanal pouch at median age 14years (SD 3.7). Indications and mean age were: ulcerative colitis (n=71, 14years), polyposis syndromes (n=13, 15years), chronic idiopathic constipation (n=9, 11years), Hirschsprung's disease (n=4, 1year), Crohn's disease (n=2, 16years), and fibrosing colonopathy (n=2, 11years). 13 patients had their pouch excised or permanently diverted. Three patients had successful revisional pouch surgery. Only pre-operative fecal incontinence and anastomotic leak were significantly associated with pouch excision/diversion, however on multivariate analysis, only fecal incontinence remained significant, odds ratio 21 (95%CI 1.8-235, p=0.01). Pouch survival was significantly worse where there was fecal incontinence pre-operatively, p<0.0001 or an anastomotic leak, p<0.001. CONCLUSIONS 13% of children subjected to restorative procto-colectomy ultimately receive a permanent ileostomy. Fecal incontinence prior to surgery is a relative contra-indication. Anastomotic leak increases the probability of later pouch excision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Colorectal pediatric surgery is a diverse field that encompasses many different procedures. The pullthrough for Hirschsprung disease, the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty for anorectal malformations including complex cloaca reconstructions and the ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis present some of the most technically challenging procedures pediatric surgeons undertake. Many children prevail successfully following these surgical interventions, however, a small number of patients suffer from complications following these procedures. Anticipated postoperative problems are discussed along with medical and surgical strategies for managing these complications.

Abstract
In this review, the authors discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentations of colitis in children, and provide current recommendations for the approach to a child with colitis. In addition, they discuss in detail one of the important and emerging causes of chronic colitis in children; inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Diagnostic and management approaches to colitis in children vary considerably based on several factors, including if the colitis is acute in onset or chronic, the age of the child, and the geographical region of the affected child. Broader classification or differential diagnosis of colitis falls under infectious, inflammatory, allergic, and less commonly, immune-mediated and ischemic colitis. Recent epidemiologic reports have elucidated a shift in our understanding of ethnicities and geographic regions affected by IBD. The incidence and prevalence of IBD has been steadily increasing in developing countries, including South-East Asia/India. Also, the risk of developing IBD among the second-generation South-Asians immigrants has greatly increased, with rates approaching those in the Western country to which they immigrated. Current research is focusing on genetic, environmental, and dietary factors to understand the increased incidence of IBD in developing countries and immigrants from developing nations.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aim to investigate the postoperative outcomes, bowel habits and quality of life (QoL) of younger pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) patients following surgical intervention compared to an older pediatric population. METHODS Medical records of UC patients after colectomy with ileoanal reconstruction (2002-2013) at our institution were reviewed. Patients/parents completed a QoL, bowel habits and disease course questionnaire. Surgical outcomes, bowel habits and QoL were reported comparing the younger (≤11years old, n=26) to older (>11years old, n=38) cohorts. RESULTS The mean age at colectomy was 7.04±0.63years vs 14.71±0.32years in the two groups. Patients had a significant (P<0.001) reduction in stooling frequency after surgery in both age groups and had favorable rates of fecal continence. The frequency of pouchitis and postoperative small bowel obstruction was similar in both cohorts. Dehydration was slightly increased in the younger population but not significant. Anastomotic leak and stricture rates were slightly reduced in younger patients. Postoperative QoL was favorable and similar regardless of age at surgery. CONCLUSIONS Colectomy with ileoanal anastomosis for young children (≤11years old) with UC is without increased complications relative to older patients and maintains a postoperative QoL and stool patterns.

Abstract
AIM The study's aim is to determine long-term outcomes in a large cohort of pediatric and young adult patients who underwent proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomsis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Patients diagnosed with UC in childhood or adolescence (age≤21years) who underwent IPAA in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood between 1982 and 1997 were contacted to determine pouch history, complications, and quality of life. RESULTS Data were obtained from 74 patients out of a previously reported cohort. Median age at diagnosis of UC was 15years and at surgery was 18years. Median follow-up was 20years. Complications during follow-up were pouchitis (45%), strictures (16%), fistulae (30%), obstruction (20%), and change of diagnosis to Crohn's (28%). Twenty-three percent reported no complications. Fourteen percent had pouch failure, with Crohn's and fistulae reported to be the most frequent complications. Seventy-nine percent reported being very satisfied at 20years follow-up. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study represents the largest cohort with the longest follow-up of pediatric and young adult patients undergoing IPAA for UC. Change in diagnosis to Crohn's and development of fistulae are risk factors for pouch failure. Despite reported complications, IPAA remains an excellent option for pediatric patients with UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis and treatment of total colonic aganglionosis (TCA) vary according to the presence and extent of small bowel involvement. METHODS Medical records of TCA patients treated in Helsinki University Children's Hospital during 1984-2013 (n=21) were reviewed. RESULTS The aganglionosis extended up to cecum or distal ileum (n=12), mid small bowel (n=4), or duodenojejunal flexure (n=5). Patients underwent resection of distal aganglionic bowel with ileoanal (IAA) or jejunoanal anastomosis (JAA) with (n=9) or without J-pouch (n=5), Lester-Martin pull-through (n=1), or were left with an end-jejunostomy (n=6). Further procedures included autologous intestinal reconstruction (n=3) and ITx/listing for ITx (n=2). Compared to distal ileum aganglionosis, patients with more proximal disease required parenteral nutrition (PN) more often (100% vs. 25%) and weaned off PN less frequently (p=0.001). At last follow-up 6.5 (interquartile range 2.5-14.5) years postoperatively, all patients with distal ileum aganglionosis were off PN and alive compared to 78% on PN (p<0.001) and 67% alive (p=0.063) of those with more proximal disease. All had normal plasma bilirubin and patients with preserved intestinal continuity (n=13) were continent. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes following restorative proctocolectomy for aganglionosis extending up to mid small bowel are promising, whereas long-term outlook in proximal small intestinal disease is dismal without ITx.

Abstract
The incidence of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) has dramatically increased in the last 20 years. Although first reported in mid 1970s’, diagnostic laparoscopy has started to be routinely adopted in paediatric surgical practice since late 1990s’. Minimally invasive surgery was first limited to diagnostic purposes. After 2002 it was also applied to the radical treatment of PIBD, either Crohn’s disease (CD) or Ulcerative colitis. During the last decade minimally invasive approaches to PIBD have gained popularity and have recently became the “gold standard” for the treatment of such invalidating and troublesome chronic diseases. The authors describe and track the historical evolution of minimally invasive surgery for PIBD and address all available opportunities, including most recent advancements such as robotic surgery, single port approaches and minimally invasive treatment of perianal fistulising CD. A systematic review of all series of PIBD treated with minimally invasive approaches published so far is provided in order to determine the incidence and type of patients’ complications reported up to present days. The authors also describe their experience with minimally invasive surgery for PIBD and will report the results of 104 laparoscopic procedures performed in a series of 61 patients between January 2006 and December 2014.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The serologic status of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who develop postoperative pouchitis was compared with that of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and unoperated patients with UC. METHODS Pouch patients were stratified into normal pouch, acute/recurrent acute pouchitis, and chronic pouchitis/Crohn's-like disease of the pouch groups. Antibodies against glycans associated with CD (anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae, anti-laminaribioside, anti-chitobioside, and anti-mannobioside carbohydrate antibodies [ASCA, ALCA, ACCA, and AMCA, respectively]) were detected and correlated with type of inflammatory bowel disease and pouch behavior. RESULTS A total of 501 patients with inflammatory bowel diseases were recruited: 250 (50%) CD, 124 (24.7%) unoperated UC, and 127 (25.3%) UC-pouch. At least 1 positive antibody was detected in 77.6% CD, 52.0% UC-pouch and 33.1% unoperated UC (P < 0.0001 for all). ACCA and AMCA prevalence in CD, UC-pouch and unoperated patients with UC were 33.2%, 24.4%, and 16.9% (P = 0.003 for all) and 35.2%, 26.8%, and 7.3%, respectively (P < 0.0001 for all). ALCA and ASCA were more prevalent in patients with CD than unoperated UC and UC-pouch patients. A longer interval since pouch surgery was associated with inflammatory pouch behavior: 12.45, 11.39, and 8.5 years for acute/recurrent acute pouchitis, chronic pouchitis/Crohn's-like disease of the pouch, and normal pouch, respectively, P = 0.01 for all. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of the CD-associated anti-glycan antibodies ACCA and AMCA is significantly increased in UC-pouch patients, suggesting that pouch surgery may trigger differential immune responses to glycans. The finding that the serology of UC-pouch patients shares similarities with that of patients with CD supports the notion that those 2 inflammatory bowel diseases share a common pathogenic pathway.

Abstract
We present a pediatric case of medically unmanageable juvenile colonic polyposis, initially treated with subtotal colectomy and an ileostomy followed by a proctectomy, ileal-J-pouch and serial transverse enteroplasties (STEP) of the distal ileum. The STEP procedure in an adequate length was able to control stooling of our patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent epidemiological studies showed an increase in ulcerative colitis among children, especially in its aggressive form, requiring surgical treatment. Although medical therapeutic strategies are standardized, there is still no consensus regarding indications, timing and kind of surgery. This study aimed to define the surgical management of paediatric ulcerative colitis and describe attitudes to it among paediatric surgeons. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. All national gastroenterology units were invited to participate. From January 2009 to December 2013, data on paediatric patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis that required surgery were collected. RESULTS Seven units participated in the study. Seventy-one colectomies were performed (77.3% laparoscopically). Main surgical indications were a severe ulcerative colitis attack (33.8%) and no response to medical therapies (56.3%). A three-stage strategy was chosen in 71% of cases. Straight anastomosis was performed in 14% and J-pouch anastomosis in 86% of cases. A reconstructive laparoscopic approach was used in 58% of patients. Ileo-anal anastomosis was performed by the Knight-Griffen technique in 85.4% and by the pull-through technique in 9.1% of patients. Complications after colectomy, after reconstruction and after stoma closure were reported in 12.7, 19.3 and 35% of cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that there is general consensus regarding indications for surgery. The ideal surgical technique remains under debate. Laparoscopy is a procedure widely adopted for colectomy but its use in reconstructive surgery remains limited. Longer follow-up must be planned to define the quality of life of these patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises two distinct but related chronic relapsing inflammatory conditions affecting different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's disease is characterised by a patchy transmural inflammation affecting both small and large bowel segments with several distinct phenotypic presentations. Ulcerative colitis classically presents as mucosal inflammation of the rectosigmoid (distal colitis), variably extending in a contiguous manner more proximally through the colon but not beyond the caecum (pancolitis). This article highlights aspects of the presentation, diagnosis, and management of IBD that have relevance for paediatric practice with particular emphasis on surgical considerations. Since 25% of IBD cases present in childhood or teenage years, the unique considerations and challenges of paediatric management should be widely appreciated. Conversely, we argue that the organizational separation of the paediatric and adult healthcare worlds has often resulted in late adoption of new approaches particularly in paediatric surgical practice.

Comparable pouch retention rate between pediatric and adult patients after restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouches. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2014; 12:1295-302. [PMID: 24361418 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2013.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2013] [Revised: 11/27/2013] [Accepted: 12/04/2013] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We compared long-term outcomes between adult and pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who underwent restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. METHODS We performed a retrospective study that analyzed data from consecutive patients with ileal pouches who presented to the subspecialty Pouch Center at the Cleveland Clinic from 2002-2011. Pouch outcomes of 104 pediatric patients (having pouch surgery at age <18 years; 53 male) were compared with those of 1135 adults (having pouch surgery at an age 18 years or older; 632 male). RESULTS Pediatric patients had a shorter duration from time of IBD diagnosis to colectomy than adult patients. Fewer pediatric than adult patients had a history of smoking, concomitant extraintestinal manifestations, or dysplasia as the indication for colectomy. However, pediatric patients had higher rates of pouch procedure-related complications, postoperative pouch-associated hospitalization, and postoperative use of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents. In multivariate analysis, risk factors for pouch failure included preoperative use of anti-TNF agents (hazard ratio [HR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-3.13; P = .032), postoperative use of anti-TNF agents (HR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.31-3.27; P = .002), Crohn's disease of the pouch (HR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.28-3.82; P = .005), pouch procedure-related complications (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.55-4.64; P < .001), and postoperative pouch-associated hospitalization (HR, 25.20; 95% CI, 14.44-43.97; P < .001). Being a pediatric patient was not significantly associated with pouch failure in univariate or multivariate analyses (HR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.32-1.16; P = .13). CONCLUSIONS On the basis of an analysis of patients with IBD who underwent restorative proctocolectomy and presented at a subspecialized Pouch Center, patients who had the surgery at a pediatric age tend to have a higher incidence of postoperative pouch complications than adults. However, long-term rates of pouch retention were comparable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus exists on the optimal surgical management of total colonic aganglionosis (TCA). Outcomes after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) as the initial reconstructive procedure among neonatal and infant TCA patients have not been evaluated previously. METHODS Medical records of patients with Hirschsprung disease (HD) who underwent RPC during infancy between 1997 and 2012 (n=8) were reviewed. Bowel function and satisfaction with operative results were assessed in a follow-up interview. RESULTS Median age at RPC was 1.1 months, and covering loop ileostomies were closed 3.7 months later. No operative complications occurred. Hospitalizations for enterocolitis and obstruction occurred each in 50% of patients postoperatively. Enterocolitis-associated outlet obstruction occurred in one third of patients, most of whom responded well to intersphincteric botulinum toxin (botox) injections. No pouchitis or elevated fecal calprotectin levels (median 51 μg/g) were observed. At last follow-up 3.2 years after ileostomy closure, the median 24-hour stooling frequency was 3.5. None had socially limiting fecal incontinence or problems in holding back defecation. Parent satisfaction with operative results was high. CONCLUSIONS The rate of postoperative enterocolitis was similar to other procedures, but a better functional outcome was achieved. Botox injections were effective for postoperative functional outlet obstruction. Short-term results following RPC among neonates and infants are promising.

Abstract
Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) has a more extensive and progressive clinical course than adult UC. Therefore, more aggressive initial therapies and more frequent surgical treatments are needed. The therapeutic goal is to gain clinical and laboratory control of the disease with minimal adverse effects while permitting the patient to function as normally as possible. Approximately 5-10 % of patients with UC require acute surgical intervention because of fulminant colitis refractory to medical therapy. Mucosal proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis is currently recommended as a standard curative surgical procedure for UC in both children and adults worldwide. This review will focus on the current issues regarding the surgical indications for pediatric UC, the technical details of procedures and results of most recent published series to take the most appropriate next step to improve the surgical outcomes and patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Pediatric severe ulcerative colitis that is resistant to current medical treatment can successfully be managed surgically with a colectomy, ileal pouch creation and pouch-anal anastomosis. Key issues that should be considered and discussed before the pouch option can be offered include alternative surgical procedures, pouch function expectations, risk of surgical leak, pelvic sepsis, anastomotic strictures, acute and chronic pouch inflammation, Crohn's disease of the pouch and risk of reduced fertility for females. A long-term risk is malignancy of the residual colonic tissue. The decision to proceed with a pouch or not poses a substantial emotional burden to the child and family. Despite the risk of surgical complications and pouch inflammatory and functional challenges, the overwhelming majority of children and their families are satisfied with their pouch surgery outcomes. Further study is needed to assess preoperative risk predictors, prevention and treatment of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of IPAA on long-term outcomes in adults is favorable. Studies on functional outcome and quality of life in children are sparse. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and quality-of-life outcomes after IPAA in children and to investigate the possible correlations between the two. DESIGN Standardized validated questionnaires of bowel/psychosocial functioning and quality of life were used to assess outcome. SETTING This study was conducted at a tertiary medical center. PATIENTS All children who had surgery at <18 years of age and were followed up at our institute were included. Global Assessment of Function Scale questionnaires were used to evaluate functional outcome. Quality of life in patients >18 years at the time of follow-up was scored by using the Short Form 36 questionnaire completed by the patients. Quality of life in the younger patients at the time of follow-up was scored using the Child Health Questionarie-28 filled by the parents. RESULTS Data were obtained in 26 patients (25 with a preoperative diagnosis of ulcerative colitis) at a median follow-up of 6 years. The median age at surgery was 15 years. Quality of life was comparable to the general population for children >18 at the time of follow-up in 7 of 8 items, but was lower than in the general population in 7 of 12 items for those who were younger at the time of follow-up. The mean functional score was found to be negatively correlated to all 8 Short Form 36 parameters (r > 0.5; p < 0.005), but only to one of the Child Health Questionarie-28 parameters. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its small sample size. CONCLUSIONS The functional outcomes among pediatric patients undergoing IPAA are good. Parents' perception of their child's quality of life is poorer in comparison with the perception by patients themselves when older and with no correlation to the functional results.

Abstract
Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) is reportedly more extensive and progressive in its clinical course than adult UC. Therefore, more aggressive initial therapies and more frequent colectomies are needed. When physicians treat pediatric UC, they must consider the therapeutic outcome as well as the child's physical and psychological development. Mucosal proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis is currently recommended as a standard curative surgical procedure for UC in both children and adults worldwide. This procedure was developed 100 years after the first surgical therapy, which treated UC by colon irrigation through a temporary inguinal colostomy. Predecessors in the colorectal and pediatric surgical fields have struggled against several postoperative complications and have long sought a surgical procedure that is optimal for children. We herein describe the history of the development of surgical procedures and the current issues regarding the surgical indications for pediatric UC. These issues differ from those in adults, including the definition of toxic megacolon on plain X-rays, the incidence of colon carcinoma, preoperative and postoperative steroid complications, and future growth. Surgeons treating children with UC should consider the historical experiences of pioneer surgeons to take the most appropriate next step to improve the surgical outcomes and patients' quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) shares many features with adult-onset disease but there are some unique considerations; therefore, therapeutic approaches have to be adapted to these particular needs. We aimed to formulate guidelines for managing UC in children based on a systematic review (SR) of the literature and a robust consensus process. The present article is a product of a joint effort of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO) and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). METHODS A group of 27 experts in pediatric IBD participated in an iterative consensus process including 2 face-to-face meetings, following an open call to ESPGHAN and ECCO members. A list of 23 predefined questions were addressed by working subgroups based on a SR of the literature. RESULTS A total of 40 formal recommendations and 68 practice points were endorsed with a consensus rate of at least 89% regarding initial evaluation, how to monitor disease activity, the role of endoscopic evaluation, medical and surgical therapy, timing and choice of each medication, the role of combined therapy, and when to stop medications. A management flowchart, based on the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), is presented. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines provide clinically useful points to guide the management of UC in children. Taken together, the recommendations offer a standardized protocol that allows effective, timely management and monitoring of the disease course, while acknowledging that each patient is unique.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in pouch mucosa of pediatric onset ulcerative colitis (UC).
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 28 patients with pediatric onset UC underwent ileal pouch biopsy 13 years (median) after proctocolectomy. Expression of MMPs-3, -7, -8, -9, -12 and -26 and TIMPs-1, -2 and -3 in samples was examined using immunohistochemichal methods, and another biopsy was used to evaluate the grade of histological inflammation. Two investigators independently graded the immunohistochemical specimens in a semiquantitative fashion, using a scale marking staining intensity as follows: 0 = less than 20 positive cells; 1 = 20-50 positive cells; 2 = 50-200 positive cells; 3 = over 20 positive cells. Fecal calprotectin and blood inflammatory markers [serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate] were determined during a follow-up visit to examine correlations between these markers and the expression of MMPs and TIMPs.
RESULTS: Of the 28 patients with pediatric onset UC, nine had not experienced pouchitis, whereas thirteen reported a single episode, and six had recurrent pouchitis (≥ 4 episodes). At the time of the study, six patients required metronidazole. In all of the others, the most recent episode of pouchitis had occurred over one month earlier, and none were on antibiotics. Only four samples depicted no sign of inflammation, and these were all from patients who had not had pouchitis. Two samples were too small to determine the grade of inflammation, but both had suffered pouchitis, the other recurrent. No sample depicted signs of colonic metaplasia. Most pouch samples showed expression of epithelial (e) and stromal (s) MMP-3 (e, n = 22; s, n = 20), MMP-7 (e, n = 28; s, n = 27), MMP-12 (e, n = 20; s, n =24), TIMP-2 (e, n = 23; s, n = 23) and MMP-3 (e, n = 23; s, n = 28) but MMP-8 (e, n = 0; s, n = 1), MMP-9 (e, n = 0; s, n = 9) and MMP-26 (e, n = 0; s, n = 3) and TIMP-1 (n = 0, both) were lacking. In samples with low grade of inflammatory activity, the epithelial MMP-3 and MMP-7 expression was increased (r = -0.614 and r = -0.472, respectively, P < 0.05 in both). MMPs and TIMPs did not correlate with the markers of inflammation, fecal calprotectin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or CRP, with the exception of patients with low fecal calprotectin (< 100 μg/g) in whom a higher expression of epithelial MMP-7 was found no differences in MMP- or TIMP-profiles were seen in patients with a history of pouchitis compared to ones with no such episodes. Anastomosis with either straight ileoanal anastomosis or ileoanal anastomosis with J-pouch did depict differences in MMP- or TIMP-expression.
CONCLUSION: The expression of MMPs pediatric UC pouch in the long-term shares characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease, but inflammation cannot be classified as a reactivation of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sub-total colectomy and restorative proctocolectomy with j-pouch ileo-anorectal anastomosis is the treatment of choice in children with ulcerative colitis uncontrolled with medical therapy. OBJECTIVE To present some technical considerations about children undergoing laparoscopic ileal-J-pouch anorectal anastomosis. SETTINGS AND PATIENTS All patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing laparoscopic ileal-J-pouch anorectal anastomosis were evaluated from January 2006 to February 2011. INTERVENTION The new technical innovations herein are (1) total laparoscopic approach, (2) a very short 3-cm J-pouch ileal reservoir created outside the stoma incision, (3) preservation of the entire anal canal and the Knight-Griffen double stapled anastomosis, less than 3 cm from the dentate line, (4) use of a Multiple Instrument Access Port system in the stoma skin incision to reduce the number of port site incisions and (5) proctectomy performed using only an electrosurgical vessels sealing device thus avoiding clips to close rectal pedicle. RESULTS Seventeen laparoscopic ileo J-pouch low rectal anastomosis were performed by the same surgical staff. Three complications occurred postoperatively: one bowel obstruction, one ileostomy prolapse, and one anastomotic stricture. Satisfactory functional results were achieved in all, there was no significant perineal excoriation and quality of life was excellent. CONCLUSIONS A Multiport Instrument Access Port placed in the stoma site allowed the use of more instruments through a single incision. The very short ileo J-pouch low rectal anastomosis has been shown to be a safe, feasible, and effective reconstructive procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive procedures for inflammatory bowel disease have been shown to improve recovery in children. We report our initial experience with single-incision laparoscopic operations for pediatric intestinal disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 12 procedures in 11 patients (4 women) from March 2010 to January 2011. Procedures were conducted by using standard laparoscopic instruments. RESULTS Mean age was 15 years (9-17 years). Procedures included three total abdominal colectomies, four two-stage ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA), two single-stage IPAA, two three-stage IPAA, and one ileocectomy. An accessory umbilical port was used in 6 cases. Mean operating time was 287 minutes. Mean length of stay was 4.1 days (3-9 days). Postoperative complications have occurred in 5 patients (42%). Anastomotic leak occurred in 2 patients with IPAA without protective ileostomy, 1 operative small bowel obstruction, 1 pelvic abscess and portal vein thrombosis, and 1 readmission for dehydration. Both patients who had leaked have recovered well and had their stomas reversed. Mean follow-up is 190 days. Average number of daily bowel movements is 4.5. Pouchitis has occurred in 50% (4/8) of patients. CONCLUSIONS Single-incision laparoscopic surgery for pediatric intestinal disease is safe and feasible by using standard laparoscopic instruments. We do not advocate IPAA without a stoma due to the high rate of anastomotic leak. Continued experience will shorten operative times and reduce complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited colorectal cancer predisposing syndrome that has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with complete penetrance. Although the disease-causing gene of FAP, the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, is well understood, genetic testing for FAP remains uncommon in Thailand, possibly because of its high cost.
Objective: Present a family in southern Thailand that had benefited from this test.
Subject and methods: The proband was a 31-year-old man who had rectal cancer with profuse adenomatous polyposis of his colon.
Results: APC mutation screening revealed a novel mutation at codon 1249 (TGC1249TAA) that could predict a premature stop codon. On screening of three siblings in the same generation who were alive and 11 members of the descendant generation, four cases were positive for the mutation. The positive members were confirmed to have a type of diffuse colonic polyposis by endoscopy, and a prophylactic colectomy was performed without complications for every affected individual.
Conclusion: A genetic test is cost-effective. It should be considered for FAP, especially when the number of at-risk family members is high.

The utility of routine pouchogram before ileostomy reversal in children and adolescents following ileal pouch anal anastomosis. J Pediatr Surg 2011; 46:1222-5.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pouchograms are used to assess the integrity of the ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy. Its benefits have been questioned, and there are no data to support the routine use in children. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 26 patients who had an IPAA and pouchogram at our institution between 2001 and 2009. Each patient also underwent an examination under anesthesia to assess the integrity of the IPAA on the day of the ileostomy closure. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 13.8 (± 0.7) years. The pouchogram was performed at a median of 6 weeks after the IPAA (range, 4-20 weeks). The findings were normal in 26 (89.7%) and demonstrated stricture in 2 (6.9%) and leak in 1 (3.4%). History was suggestive and physical examination was confirmatory in these 3 problematic cases. CONCLUSIONS A contrast enema is not routinely required to evaluate the integrity of the IPAA before ileostomy reversal in pediatric patients. Complications can be detected by history and rectal examination before ileostomy closure. We recommend the use of contrast enema only in symptomatic patients where a leak is suspected, thereby limiting radiation exposure and inconvenience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASC) is a potentially life-threatening disease. We aimed to formulate guidelines for managing ASC in children based on systematic review of the literature and robust consensus process. This manuscript is a product of a joint effort of the ECCO (European Crohn's and Colitis Organization), the Pediatric Porto Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Working group of ESPGHAN (European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition) and ESPGHAN. METHODS A group of 19 experts in pediatric IBD participated in an iterative consensus process including two face-to-face meetings. A total of 17 predefined questions were addressed by working subgroups based on a systematic review of the literature. RESULTS The recommendations and practice points were eventually endorsed with a consensus rate of at least 95% regarding: definitions, initial evaluation, standard therapy, timing of second-line therapy, the role of endoscopic evaluation and heparin prophylaxis, how to administer second-line medical therapy, how to assess response, surgical considerations, and discharge recommendations. A management flowchart is presented based on daily scoring of the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), along with 28 formal recommendations and 34 practice points. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines provide clinically useful points to guide the management of ASC in children. Taken together, the recommendations offer a standardized protocol that allows effective monitoring of disease progress and timely treatment escalation when needed.

Abstract
Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) has a more severe phenotype, reflected by more extensive disease and a higher rate of acute severe exacerbations. The pooled steroid-failure rate among 291 children from five studies is 34% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27%-41%). It is suggested that corticosteroids should be dosed between 1-1.5 mg/kg up to 40-60 mg daily. Food restriction has a limited role in severe UC and should be generally discouraged in children who do not have a surgical abdomen. Appraisal of radiologic findings in children must recognize the variation in colonic width with age and size. Data suggest that the Pediatric UC Activity Index (PUCAI), determined at day 3, should be used to screen for patients likely to fail corticosteroids (>45 points), and at day 5 to dictate the introduction of second-line therapy (>65-70 points). Cyclosporine is successful in children with severe colitis but its use should be restricted to 3-4 months while bridging to thiopurine treatment (pooled short-term success rate 81% [95% CI: 76%-86%]; n = 94 from eight studies). Infliximab may be as effective as cyclosporine (75% pooled short-term response (95% CI: 67%-83%); n = 126, six studies) with a pooled 1-year response of 64% (95% CI: 56%-72%). In toxic megacolon, in patients refractory to one salvage medical therapy, and in chronic severe disease, colectomy may be preferred. Decision-making regarding colectomy in children must consider the toxicity of medication consumed over many future years, the quality of life and self-image associated with either choice, as well as both functional outcomes and, in females, fertility following pouch procedures.

Abstract
Treatment and services research in the general medical sector has emphasized the importance of addressing organizational capacity to improve interventions for patients with chronic conditions. Efficacious interventions for child and adolescent mental disorders without substantial enhancements in mental health organizational capacity will not result in improvements for children. This paper (a) lists some organizational enhancements that have resulted in improved medical care, (b) briefly underscores recent market trends such as state healthcare reform efforts, increased use of electronic records and contracting initiatives that push consolidation of agencies, and (c) describes one example of the organizational development of child behavioral services that will enhance treatment delivery.
