    Congenital eventration of the diaphragm in children: 25 years' experience in three pediatric surgery centers
    (Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2003) Yazici, M; Karaca, I; Arikan, A; Erikci, V; Etensel, B; Temir, G; Sencan, A; Ural, Z; Mutaf, O
    Eventration of the diaphragm is generally defined as an abnormal elevation of all or a portion of an attenuated but otherwise intact diaphragmatic leaf Previous studies have indicated that eventration is a relatively rare condition, which can be symptomatic and requires surgery. We aimed to evaluate our patients with diaphragmatic eventration, and to discuss their characteristics in the light of the relevant literature. We retrospectively analyzed age, sex, incidence, location of the eventration, symptoms, associated anomalies, surgical technique, complications and survival in our patients. Between 1974 and 1999, 33 patients were treated in the Pediatric Surgery Departments of Ege University, SSK Children's Hospital and Behcet Uz Children's Hospital, 18 of them boys and 15 girls. The ages of our patients ranged from three days to 12 years. All of the patients had at least one of the respiratory symptoms such as cough, respiratory distress and fever; 3 newborns were admitted with severe respiratory distress while children belonging to higher age groups had symptoms of acute or recurrent pulmonary infections and failure to thrive. The eventration was right-sided in 22, 11 eventrations were left-sided. Diagnosis was performed with the help of a number of radiological studies such as fluoroscopic investigation, contrast study of the upper gastrointestinal system, direct X-ray graphies of the thorax, CT scan and ultrasonography, as necessary. Surgery was performed via thoracotomy in 20 patients and the 12 other patients underwent laparotomy for plication. One patient underwent thoracoabdominal plication. Two patients died because of cardio-respiratory complications in the early postoperative period and the rest of them survived to annual follow-ups. In conclusion, diaphragmatic eventration is an important condition which can eventually be mortal. Early diagnosis is necessary and plication is the treatment of choice.

    Paraesophageal hiatal hernias in children
    (Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2003) Yazici, M; Karaca, I; Etensel, B; Temir, G; Gunsar, C; Guclu, C; Mutaf, O
    Hiatal hernia is a rare condition, which may be a cause of important clinical problems either as a mediastinal mass or as a cause of failure of the antireflux mechanism. Nineteen patients treated for paraesophageal hiatal hernias were included in the study. We investigated demographic data, diagnostic studies and symptoms of the patients together with the type of operation and outcome. Respiratory and gastrointestinal complaints were the prominent symptoms in most patients. Plain X-ray, contrast radiological study and esophagoscopy were used in the diagnostic workup. Surgical repair was performed via thoracic, abdominal or thoraco-abdominal approaches. Concomitant antireflux procedures were performed in 13 patients. Hiatal hernias in children may be asymptomatic or may present with a variety of symptoms or dramatic complications. Because of the risk of complications, surgical treatment is necessary shortly after diagnosis. Repair of the hiatus combined with antireflux surgery seems to yield satisfactory results.
