Abstract

Purpose

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) can present with a variety challenges to patients and their caregivers, many of which require surgical evaluation and intervention. Surgical needs can also extend long into adulthood, prompting evaluation and intervention throughout development and beyond. Here, we identify common concerns and patient needs associated with the 22q11.2DS from a general surgery perspective, their management, and typical management based on our institution’s experience with 1263 patients.

Methods

1263 patients evaluated and treated at the 22q And You Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia were enrolled and included in the study, from January 1992 to May 2017 Co-morbidities, procedures, and imaging studies performed were quantified and assessed via descriptive analysis.

Results

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and feeding difficulties were the most common surgical issues identified, while gastrostomy tube placement, anorectal procedures, and hernia repairs were the most common surgical interventions performed by general surgeons.

Conclusions

General surgical procedures are commonly needed in this population and are part of the complex needs these patients and their surgeons may encounter in the setting of a 22q11.2DS diagnosis. These findings will help to inform a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to care.

Mit dem Seitenschneider gegen das Reißverschluss-Malheur

03.06.2024 Urologische Notfallmedizin Nachrichten

Wer ihn je erlebt hat, wird ihn nicht vergessen: den Schmerz, den die beim Öffnen oder Schließen des Reißverschlusses am Hosenschlitz eingeklemmte Haut am Penis oder Skrotum verursacht. Eine neue Methode für rasche Abhilfe hat ein US-Team getestet.

Ähnliche Überlebensraten nach Reanimation während des Transports bzw. vor Ort

29.05.2024 Reanimation im Kindesalter Nachrichten

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.

Alter der Mutter beeinflusst Risiko für kongenitale Anomalie

28.05.2024 Kinder- und Jugendgynäkologie Nachrichten

Welchen Einfluss das Alter ihrer Mutter auf das Risiko hat, dass Kinder mit nicht chromosomal bedingter Malformation zur Welt kommen, hat eine ungarische Studie untersucht. Sie zeigt: Nicht nur fortgeschrittenes Alter ist riskant.

Begünstigt Bettruhe der Mutter doch das fetale Wachstum?

Ob ungeborene Kinder, die kleiner als die meisten Gleichaltrigen sind, schneller wachsen, wenn die Mutter sich mehr ausruht, wird diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse einer US-Studie sprechen dafür.
