Minimally invasive repair of Morgagni hernia - A multicenter case series
Lamas-Pinheiro, R; Pereira, J; Carvalho, F; Horta, P; Ochoa, A; Knoblich, M; Henriques, J; Henriques-Coelho, T; Correia-Pinto, J; Casella, PChildren may benefit from minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the correction of Morgagni hernia (MH). The present study aims to evaluate the outcome of MIS through a multicenter study. National institutions that use MIS in the treatment of MH were included. Demographic, clinical and operative data were analyzed. Thirteen patients with MH (6 males) were operated using similar MIS technique (percutaneous stitches...

Intestinal duplication. A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Soares-Oliveira, M; Carvalho, J L; Campos, M; Andrade, M; Estevão-Costa, JDuplications of the alimentary tract are rare congenital anomalies. The symptoms often mimic other surgical diseases and the diagnostic workup presents low accuracy. The charts of twelve children with intestinal duplications were reviewed. Their ages ranged from 13 days to 12 years (median: 12 months). The majority of the cases were located at ileum (n = 9). These children presented: rectal bleeding (n = 4), in...
Meconium dependence of bowel damage in gastroschisis
Correia-Pinto, J; Tavares, ML; Baptista, MJ; Henriques-Coelho, T; Estevão-Costa, J; Flake, AW; Leite-Moreira, AFBackground/Purpose: Increasing evidence of physiologic in utero defecation supports the hypothesis that bowel damage in gastroschisis may be meconium dependent. In this study, the author investigated the role of meconium on parameters of bowel damage in a fetal rat model of gastroschisis. Methods: Pregnant rats underwent laparotomy at 18 1/2 days gestational age (GA). There were 4 experimental groups of 11 fetu...
Intestinal invagination in children. Reduction with pneumo-enema.
Estevão-Costa, J; Correia-Pinto, J; Campos, M; Mariz, C; Carvalho, J LPneumatic reduction of intussusception in children is an effective and safe procedure, although controversy persists concerning contraindications. The shown by this procedure when compared to barium reduction have led to its implementation in our Service.To evaluate the usefulness of a 'handicraft method' of pneumatic reduction of intussusception with very restricted contraindications (peritonitis or shock).The...
Evolution in the management of splenic trauma. Retrospective study in children.
Correia-Pinto, J; Estevão-Costa, JThe treatment of blunt splenic lesions had changed in the last years with an increasing trend to conservative management. In the absence of national surveys, this paper is aimed to evaluate the results of this therapeutic approach in a group of Portuguese children.Patients with blunt splenic lesions, admitted over a period of 7 years, (n = 54) were retrospectively analysed. A group submitted to surgical treatme...
