Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 10:1324792. [PMID: 38249983 PMCID: PMC10796788 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1324792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Intussusception refers to the invagination of a proximal loop of the bowel into an adjacent distal segment. This condition is rare in adults, especially when it involves a complete folding of the ileocecal area out of the body cavity. Meanwhile, enterogenous cysts are congenital malformations that are largely identified in childhood following symptoms of bowel obstruction. While surgical treatment is ultimately required for both diseases, deciding on the type of surgery and the right time to operate can be a challenge for clinicians. It is especially difficult to decide on treatment for an adult with the coincidental occurrence of both conditions and no definitive pathologic diagnosis prior to surgery. Here, we present the case study of a 19-year-old female patient who presented with a prolapsed anus due to intussusception caused by a large ileocecal mass. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with a "massive anal mass." She remained symptomatic after receiving conventional conservative treatment and had to undergo emergency surgery after developing an intestinal obstruction. While the patient's intraoperative condition also confirmed the preoperative CT findings, the situation became more complicated during surgery. The postoperative pathological report indicated the presence of an enterogenous cyst. After recovery from surgery, the patient was successfully discharged. Intussusception or intestinal obstruction caused by an intestinal mass is a surgical indication, and removal is the only way to cure the condition. This case study provides a helpful reference for general surgeons, especially anorectal surgeons, imaging physicians, and pathologists, and informs the diagnosis and treatment of this patient population.

Abstract
Background: Intestinal duplication is the most common type of alimentary tract duplications in childhood. Laparoscopic-assisted surgery has become the main surgical procedure, but robot-assisted resection has rarely been reported; the aim of this study was to retrospectively present our experience with robot-assisted intestinal duplication excision using the Da Vinci Xi surgical system and discuss the technical points. Methods: In total, 49 patients who were diagnosed with intestinal duplication and underwent surgery from April 2020 to February 2022 in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were retrospectively analyzed. The data were collected including the clinical information of the patients, operative details, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Among these 49 patients, a total of 15 underwent robot-assisted surgery and 34 underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery. For the robot-assisted surgery group, all the cysts were peeled off by complete endoscope, the integrity of the intestine was preserved and intestinal resection and anastomosis were not required. The operation time of 80 minutes for the robot-assisted group was not significantly longer than the 90 minutes for the laparoscopic-assisted surgery group(P > .05), but the mean time to take the liquid diet after surgery and the average length of postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter (P < .05). Conclusion: Robot-assisted resection of intestinal duplication is safe and feasible and the refinement of the Da Vinci Xi surgical system was much better than that of the conventional laparoscopic equipment, resulting in significantly improved intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.

Ileocecal duplication in children: a single-center experience of 115 cases. Eur J Pediatr 2022; 181:3937-3944. [PMID: 36094665 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04611-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED To evaluate the clinical features, surgical management, and prognosis of ileocecal duplication in children. A total of 115 patients diagnosed with ileocecal duplication at Beijing Children's Hospital between January 2010 and June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Ileocecal duplications were divided into ileal intraluminal (n = 41), ileal extraluminal (n = 24), ileocecal valve (n = 11), cecal intraluminal (n = 18), and cecal extraluminal (n = 3) types according to their locations. Median age at diagnosis was 9.5 (0.1-169.2) months. Intussusception was only observed preoperatively in patients with the ileal intraluminal (8/41), ileocecal valve (4/11), and cecal intraluminal (7/18) types (P = 0.004). Ileocecal resection and ileocolostomy and cyst excision without ileocecal resection were performed in 41 (35.7%) and 74 (64.3%) patients, respectively. The proportions of cyst excision without ileocecal resection performed in patients with different types were 78.0% (32/41), 91.7% (22/24), 27.3% (3/11), 27.8% (5/18), and 100.0% (3/3) (P < 0.001). Time of oral intake (P = 0.003) and hospital stay after surgery (P < 0.001) were significantly shorter in patients undergoing cyst excision without ileocecal resection. There were no significant differences in the complications, growth, and stool frequency (older than 4 years) between patients undergoing different surgical procedures. Regarding the stool consistency (older than 4 years), there was a lower proportion of dry stool in patients undergoing cyst excision (P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Ileocecal duplications at specific locations are prone to intussusception and can influence the surgical procedure choice. At mid-term follow-up, the children's growth and defecation patterns do not seem to be affected by ileocecal resection. WHAT IS KNOWN • How to address ileocecal duplication has always been challenging in clinical management. • Children who have an ileocecal resection can develop some early postoperative complications. WHAT IS NEW • Ileocecal duplications at specific locations are prone to intussusception and can influence the surgical procedure choice. • Children's growth and defecation patterns do not seem to be affected by ileocecal resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileocecal resection leads to some early complications, but it is unknown whether it affects children's medium-long-term growth and defecation patterns. To determine if there was an association, we conducted this matched case-control study. METHODS This study was conducted in Beijing Children's Hospital and included three groups: the case group (n = 30) included patients with ileocecal duplication undergoing ileocecal resection between January 2010 and June 2021, the control group (n = 90) included outpatient patients without ileocecal resection in January 2022, and the appendectomy group (n = 90) included patients who underwent appendectomy between January 2010 and June 2021. The 1:1 matching criteria included gender and age (within 1 year). The evaluation indicators were growth (height-for-age, BMI) and defecation patterns (stool frequency, stool consistency) over 6 months after surgery. Defecation patterns were assessed in patients older than 4 years. Stool consistency was evaluated by the modified Bristol Stool Form Scale. RESULTS There were no significant differences, except for stool consistency, between the case and control groups regarding their growth and defecation patterns before case-control matching. The patients in the case group had a significantly higher prevalence of dry stool (P < 0.008). After case-control matching, there were no significant differences in the growth and defecation patterns between the case and control groups. Before and after case-control matching, there were no significant differences in the defecation patterns between the control group and the appendectomy group. CONCLUSION Children's medium-long-term growth and defecation patterns were not affected by ileocecal resection.

Abstract
A toddler presented with melaena on a background of a possible enteric duplication cyst, diagnosed in the neonatal period which 'vanished'. What was later confirmed to be a small bowel duplication cyst was not seen on follow-up ultrasounds and thus the patient was managed expectantly until presentation as an emergency. Our case highlights the challenges faced in managing cystic abdominal structures in infancy and the potential consequences of expectant management. We discuss whether cross-sectional imaging or diagnostic laparoscopy should be advocated when duplications cysts are considered amongst the differentials of a lesion on ultrasound.

Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations of the children and can develop everywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, being the ileum the most frequent localization. We herein present an unusual case of duplication cyst of ileal origin who show a tubular morphology and doesn't communicate with GI lumen. A 2-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital for investigation of an anechoic formation of the lower right abdomen for the surgical planning. The patient was asymptomatic. Ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed features of a cystic lesion. Laparoscopic surgery was performed and the cyst excised. Macroscopic examination and histologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of a enteric duplication cyst arising from the ileum. In a patient with an abdominal cystic mass, although asymptomatic, it's worth assessing the nature of the lesion and planning a surgery in order to avoid future complications. A correct use of diagnostic it's fundamental to identify the etiology and the characteristics of a cystic mass.

Abstract
PURPOSE Alimentary tract duplication (ATD) is a rare congenital condition that may occur throughout the intestinal tract. Clinical symptoms are generally related to the involved site, size of duplication, or associated ectopic mucosa. This study aimed to identify clinical implications by anatomical locations and age group and then suggest a relevant management according to its distinct features. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of pediatric patients who received a surgical management due to ATD. Furthermore, data including patients' demographics, anatomical distribution of the duplication, clinical features according to anatomical variants, and outcomes were compared. RESULTS A total of 25 patients were included in this study. ATD developed most commonly in the midgut, especially at the ileocecal region. The most common clinical presentation was abdominal pain, a sign resulting from intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intussusception. The non-communicating cystic type was the most common pathological feature in all age groups. Clinically, prenatal detection was relatively low; however, it usually manifested before the infantile period. A laparoscopic procedure was performed in most cases (18/25, 72.0%), significantly in the midgut lesion (p=0.012). CONCLUSION ATD occurs most commonly at the ileocecal region, and a symptomatic one may usually be detected before the early childhood period. Surgical management should be considered whether symptom or not regarding its symptomatic progression, and a minimal invasive procedure is the preferred method, especially for the midgut lesion.

Abstract
Background: Enteric duplication is a congenital anomaly with varied clinical presentation that requires surgical resection for definitive treatment. Ileocaecal (IC) duplications are duplications located at the IC junction, not clearly identified in all the published series. The reported treatment is IC resection and ileocolic anastomosis. The purpose of our study was to present our experience in successfully resection of IC duplication by laparoscope, thus avoiding bowel resection in children. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of medical records of 15 patients with diagnosis of IC duplication, treated in the Department of Paediatric Surgery of our hospital, within the period from November 2013 to September 2018. Results: Laparoscopic resection of IC duplication was successfully performed in all children without bowel resection. The operation time was 50–90 min (55 ± 10 min), and the post-operative hospitalization time was 5–7 days (average, 6 days). The 15 patients were followed up for 6–12 months (average, 10 months). No recurrence was found by abdominal ultrasound examination. The wound had small scars with good appearance of umbilicus. Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach allows for confirming the diagnosis and accurately defining the exact site of duplication, as well as for effective and safe treatment. Laparoscopic excision of IC duplication without bowel resection is a safe option and is worth promoting.

Abstract
Due to the various presentations of gastrointestinal tract duplications (GTD), diagnosing and management for this disease might be varied and difficult. We intend to improve the experiences for these difficult, in terms of the clinical presentations, diagnostic investigations, management.We reviewed recent literature and retrospectively analyzed 72 pediatric patients with enteric duplication. Diagnosis was confirmed by surgery and pathological examination for imaging characteristics and clinical and pathological features.The ages of patients ranged from one month to 12.5 years. The clinical presentations of the patients included 57 cases with abdominal pain, followed with nausea or vomiting, abdominal distension, etc. All of the patients were diagnosed by ultrasonography, and most of them presented as intra-abdominal cystic masses. Four cases were diagnosed with the cysts other than GTDs, like, mesenteric cyst, chledochal cyst and abscess, and so on. Computed tomography was performed on 65 patients. X-rays and barium meal showed the outline of the cyst structure, with intestinal displacement due to the pressure from the cyst. Among the 72 cases of enteric duplication, 45 were located with ileocecal area, 41 were ileal and 8 were colonic duplications.Enteric duplication is very rare in children and is prone to misdiagnosis. The preoperative diagnosis of enteric duplication can be improved through comprehensive analysis of various imaging exams and closely related clinical presentations.

Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations formed during the embryonic development of the digestive tract. They are usually detected prenatally or in the first years of life. The size, location, type, mucosal pattern and presence of complications produce a varied clinical presentation and different imaging findings. Ultrasonography (US) is the most used imaging method for diagnosis. Magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) are less frequently used, but can be helpful in cases of difficult surgical approach. Conservative surgery is the treatment of choice. Pathology confirms the intestinal origin of the cyst, showing a layer of smooth muscle in the wall and an epithelial lining inside, resembling some part of the gastrointestinal tract (GT). We review the different forms of presentation of the EDCs, showing both the typical and atypical imaging findings with the different imaging techniques. We correlate the imaging findings with the surgical results and the final pathological features. TEACHING POINTS: • EDCs are rare congenital anomalies from the digestive tract with uncertain pathogenesis. • More frequently, diagnosis is antenatal, with most EDCs occurring in the distal ileum. • Ultrasonography is the method of choice for diagnosis of EDCs. • Complicated EDCs can show atypical imaging findings. • Surgery is necessary to avoid complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enteric duplication is a congenital anomaly with varied clinical presentation that requires surgical resection for definitive treatment. This had been approached with laparotomy for resection, but has changed with minimally invasive technique. The purpose of our study was to determine the demographics, natural history, operative interventions, and outcomes of pediatric enteric duplication cysts in a contemporary cohort. METHODS With IRB approval, we performed a retrospective chart review of all patients less than 18 years old treated for enteric duplication between January 2006 and August 2016. Demographics, patient presentation, operative technique, intraoperative findings, hospital course, and follow-up were evaluated. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed; all medians were reported with interquartile range (IQR). RESULTS Thirty-five patients underwent surgery for enteric duplication, with a median age at surgery of 7 months (2.5-54). Median weight was 7.2 kg (6-20). Most common patient presentations included prenatal diagnosis 37% (n = 13). Thirty-four patients (97%) had their cyst approached via minimally invasive technique (thoracoscopy or laparoscopy) with only three (8%) requiring conversion to an open operation. Median operative time was 85 min (54-133) with 27 (77%) patients requiring bowel resection. Median length of bowel resected was 4.5 cm (3-7). Most common site of duplication was ileocecal (n = 15, 42%). Postoperative median hospital length of stay was 3 days (2-5) and median number of days to regular diet was 3 (1-4). No patients required re-operation during their hospital stay. Median follow-up was 25 days (20-38). CONCLUSION In our series, most enteric duplication cysts were diagnosed prenatally. These can be managed via minimally invasive technique with minimal short-term complications, even in neonates and infants.

Abstract
Background: The diagnosis and treatment of small-bowel diseases is clinically difficult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of double-balloon enteroscopy in small-bowel diseases. Methods: The history and outcomes of 2806 patients who underwent double-balloon enteroscopy from July 2004 to April 2017 were reviewed, which included 562 patients with obscure digestive tract bleeding, 457 patients with obscure diarrhea, 930 patients with obscure abdominal pain, 795 patients with obscure weight loss, and 62 patients with obscure intestinal obstruction. Examinations were performed through the mouth and/or anus according to the clinical symptoms and abdominal images. If a lesion was not detected through one direction, examination through the other direction was performed as necessary. Eighty-four patients with small-bowel polyps, 26 with intestinal obstruction caused by enterolith, and 18 with bleeding from Dieulafoy's lesions in the small intestine were treated endoscopically. Results: A total of 2806 patients underwent double-balloon enteroscopy, and no serious complications occurred. An endoscopic approach through both the mouth and anus was used in 212 patients. Lesions were detected in 1696 patients, with a detection rate of 60.4%; the rates for obscure digestive tract bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and intestinal obstruction were 85.9% (483/562), 73.5% (336/457), 48.2% (448/930), 49.1% (390/795), and 62.9% (39/62), respectively. For patients with small-bowel polyps who underwent endoscopic therapy, no complications such as digestive tract bleeding and perforation occurred. Intestinal obstruction with enteroliths was relieved with endoscopic lithotripsy. Among the 18 patients with bleeding from small-bowel Dieulafoy's lesions, 14 patients were controlled with endoscopic hemostasis. Conclusion: Double-balloon enteroscopy is useful for diagnosing and treating some small-bowel disease.

Risk-reduction surgery in pediatric surgical oncology: A perspective. J Pediatr Surg 2016; 51:675-87.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A small percentage of pediatric solid cancers arise as a result of clearly identified inherited predisposition syndromes and nongenetic lesions. Evidence supports preemptive surgery for children with genetic [multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome (FAP), hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), and hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and nongenetic [thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC), congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), alimentary tract duplication cysts (ATDC), and congenital choledochal cysts (CCC)] developmental anomalies. Our aim was to explore the utility of risk reduction surgery to treat and prevent cancer in children. METHODS A systematic review of the available peer-reviewed literature on PubMed was performed using a PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) search strategy, where possible. Search items included "risk reduction surgery", "hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome", "multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2", "familial adenomatous polyposis", "hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer", "hereditary diffuse gastric cancer", "thyroglossal duct cysts", congenital pulmonary airway malformations", "alimentary tract duplication cysts", "malignant transformation", and "guidelines". RESULTS We identified 67 articles that met the inclusion criteria describing the indications for prophylactic surgery in surgical oncology. For the genetic predisposition syndromes, 7 studies were related to professional endorsed guidelines, 7 were related to surgery for MEN2, 11 were related to colectomy for FAP, 6 were related to colectomy for HNPCC, and 12 related to gastrectomy for HDGC. Articles for the nongenetic lesions included 5 for techniques related to TGDC resection, 9 for surgery for CPAMs, and 10 for resection of ATDCs. Guidelines and strategies varied significantly especially related to the extent and timing of surgical intervention; the exception was for the timing of thyroidectomy in children with MEN2. CONCLUSION Current evidence supporting prophylactic surgery in the management of pediatric cancer predisposition syndromes and nongenetic lesions is best delineated for thyroidectomy to prevent medullary thyroid cancer in children with MEN2 (Strength of Recommendation Grade B/C). Despite the lack of pediatric specific evidence-based recommendations regarding the appropriate extent and timing for risk-reduction surgery for FAP, HNPCC, HDGC and nongenetic anomalies, our review represents an opportunity towards understanding the postgenomic development of these lesions and provides current indications and techniques for preemptive cancer prevention surgery in children.
