INTRODUCTION: The management of gastroschisis remains problematic in low- and middle-income countries with high perioperative mortality. The objective of this work was to make an initial assessment of our management of gastroschisis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a monocentric and cross-sectional study including all newborns with gastroschisis between January 2017 and December 2021 in the Pediatric Surgery and Anesthesia Resuscitation Department of the Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital Center from Dakar...

INTRODUCTION: Severe or proximal hypospadias is associated with inadequate local tissue and small phallus size. Pre-operative androgens have been used to increase phallus size, but there are very few studies on its role in proximal hypospadias. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effects of pre-operative intramuscular (IM) testosterone on proximal penile hypospadias in terms of penile morphology and tissue characteristics of penile skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted on 27 patients of proximal hypospadias over a period from June 2017 to July 2018...

INTRODUCTION: Post-operative pain control improves patient's satisfaction and affects the period of admission. Local wound infiltration following hernia surgery using xylocaine or bupivacaine has been a common practice. The use of tramadol for such infiltration is relatively new and has not been studied in our environment. This study compared the efficacy of post-operative pain control between Bupivacaine and Tramadol wound infiltration in children who underwent herniotomy and orchidopexy...

BACKGROUND: Hypospadias repair is a complicated surgery even in the best of hands. To date, there is a lack of consensus on which surgical technique offers more favourable post-operative outcomes. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The present work was undertaken to evaluate and compare the outcomes and complications rates of two single-stage techniques widely used to repair primary anterior hypospadias, namely Thiersch-Duplay Tubularized Plate Urethroplasty and Koff Urethral Mobilisation and Advancement...

BACKGROUND: Circumcision of a male child is an integral part of some African cultures. An ideal technique of neonatal circumcision should be simple, safe and heal satisfactorily with good cosmetic appeal. AIMS: The aim was to compare conventional dissection (CD), Plastibell (PB) and Gomco (GM) techniques of circumcision in neonates in terms of wound healing, wound healing complications, cosmetic outcome and parental satisfaction. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 144 male neonates were randomised into three study groups: CD, GM and PB groups...

Management of oesophageal atresia (OA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) in Nigeria and the West African subregion has no doubt been a very demanding task for paediatric surgeons, not necessarily due to lack of skills, but due to the significant demand on neonatal intensive care, which in our region, is often fitted with the poor infrastructure needed to make this a success. Furthermore, the use of open thoracotomy has increased this demand resulting in a significant number having severe morbidities and significant mortality rates...

BACKGROUND: To predict native liver survival (NLS) after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP) for biliary atresia (BA) using pre-operative clinical data. METHODS: Pre-operative data were collected from 29 patients with BA who underwent KP at our department between 1989 and 2017 and were analysed including serum albumin, bilirubin, prothrombin time-international normalised ratio, body height, body weight, age at KP, paediatric end-stage liver disease score calculated using the pre-operative data and the period of NLS...

Gastrointestinal (GI) haemangiomatosis is a very rare cause of GI bleeding in children. Due to this fact, making the diagnosis sometimes is delayed. In this case report, two different patients with multiple GI haemangiomatosis are presented. Of note is an 8 year old male with a previous history of a vascular malformation of the face presented with features of bowel obstruction (intussusception) and a history of recurrent blood in stool. At laparotomy, multiple haemangiomatosis were seen on the small bowel, right colon, liver, diaphragm and on the body of the gallbladder...

Penile agenesis is complete absence of the penis in an otherwise normal phenotypic and genotypic male at birth that results from failure of development of the genital tubercle. It is an extremely rare anomaly that may be associated with anomalies in other organ systems, the extent and severity of which may affect the prognosis. The management is challenging and may have far reaching implications for the individual and family. While gender reassignment with bilateral orchidectomy and feminising genitoplasty has been carried out for most patients, significant psychosexual and social issues related to the male identity may occur due to foetal or postnatal sex steroid imprinting...

Male congenital urethrocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare anomaly that is commonly associated with chordee or anorectal malformations. It is characterised by an abnormal urethral opening on the ventral aspect of the penis with well-formed distal urethra and meatus at the tip of the glans. The treatment is individualised according to the site of the fistula, associated anomalies and condition of the distal urethra. The principles of hypospadias surgery should be strictly followed.

Primary vaginal calculi are uncommon in children. Urethral duplication in females is seen to occur in association with complex congenital malformations. We report the case of perianal persistent urogenital sinus with a hypertrophied clitoris with phallic urethra, scrotum-like pouch, uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina, and giant colpolithiasis in 46XX female. A 16-year-old presented with pain abdomen and cyclic passage of blood clots per rectum. She had a tender lump in left iliac region, a phallus like protrusion and a ruggous sac below it...

Inguinal hernias are more common in preterm and neonates and incidence of incarceration are reported to be more in the first 6 months of life. Strangulation follows incarceration and various incarcerated and strangulated contents having been reported in the sac. The fistulation of the herniated content through the scrotal skin is quite rare with only a few reported cases. We present the case of entero-scrotal fistula in a neonate managed with staged repair along with a brief review of the literature. A 27-days-old, full-term male presented with faecal discharge from the right scrotum...

Iatrogenic bladder rupture in children during a retrograde cystourethrography is very uncommon. We present a case of iatrogenic intraperitoneal bladder rupture in a 9-month child during the retrograde cystourethrography performed by a radiologist. The child presented in a paediatric emergency after 6 h with an acute abdomen indicating urinary peritonitis. An urgent laparotomy was performed and the perforation was repaired in two layers. The follow-up was unremarkable. This report emphasises the importance of respecting the criteria of the proper retrograde cystourethrography imaging procedure...

The routine schedule of antenatal ultrasound scans has led to an increased frequency of detection of foetal ovarian cysts. Although most of them regress spontaneously, some may grow into large cysts and undergo torsion followed by auto-amputation. However, pre- and post-natal scans may fail to identify this event. We report a case of a prenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst that failed to resolve conservatively and was increasing in size in post-natal ultrasounds. Pre-operative ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging failed to detect the auto-amputation...

BACKGROUND: Reduction and stabilisation of fractures at the earliest is valuable in the paediatric age groups. This novel technique focuses on stabilisation of the fracture fragments using vicryl, which has an added advantage to conventional plating and wiring. This study aimed on a novel cost-effective technique of stabilising the paediatric mandibular fracture using 2-0 resorbable polyglactin 910 suture with minimal trauma to tooth buds and bone and adequate stability. TECHNIQUE: After raising a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap, the fracture segments are identified and reduced...

Stomal prolapse is one of the most common complications of enterostoma. Stoma if persistent and significant often requires revision of stoma. The techniques described often require laparotomy with resection or internal fixation of the bowel. Such procedures may make further laparotomy more difficult. We herein describe the use of a relatively simple procedure for the correction of stomal prolapse.
