    Pulmonary complications are among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates with esophageal atresia and tracheofistula. We aimed to investigate the possible causes of respiratory complications encountered in esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in an experimental model. Sprague-Dawley fetal rats treated with adriamycin were used for the experiment. Time mated pregnant rats were given 1.75 mg/kg of adriamicyn intraperitoneally on days 6-9 of gestation. The fetuses were sacrified on day 21, weighed, and dissected under the surgical microscope. The animals were divided into four groups: (1) control group; (2) saline-injected group; (3) adriamycin-induced EA group, and (4) adriamycin administered but without development of EA. The lungs, esophagus, and trachea were excised and underwent histological examination. The mucosa of distal esophagus was thickened (p < 0.05); the submucosa was thinner (p < 0.05); and the muscular layer was thickened (p < 0.05) in fetuses with EA and TEF. In adriamycin-treated rats, in which EA and TEF developed, tracheal cartilage was loosened and formed into a D or C shape. The cartilage was fragmented into several segments on transverse sections in most fetuses. Alveolar septa were thin in lungs of fetus with EA and TEF (p < 0.05), without any fibrosis or evidence of parenchymal abnormality microscopically. Our findings suggest that respiratory complications may contribute to structural lesions in the trachea and particularly in the distal esophagus but not in the pulmonary parenchyma itself.

    Management of anorectal injuries in children
    (Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2003) Öztürk, H; Onen, A; Dokucu, AI; Otçu, S; Yagmur, Y; Yucesan, S
    Anorectal injuries (ARI) are rare in childhood and yet occur due to sexual abuse and firearm injuries in developed countries. The labeling of ARI remains controversial in spite of a number of divergent reports over the past decade. We evaluated the surgical indications for primary repair of ARI without stoma, and also the potential risk factors affecting morbidity and mortality in children with ARI. Between 1983 and 2001, 41 children were diagnosed as ARI in our institution due to blunt or penetrating trauma. There were 17 male and 24 female patients. Causes of anorectal injury were blunt injuries in the majority of cases (56%). Vagina and extremity fractures were the organs most frequently associated with ARI. There was isolated ARI in 49% of cases. Intraperitoneal organ injury was found in 3 patients (7%). The distribution of injury location according to the classification of ARI in our children was as follows: 10% in G I, 32% in G II, 51% in G III, and 10% in G V. Primary repair without colostomy was performed in 51% of cases. Primary repair and diversion of faecal stream by loop colostomy was required in 20 (49%) patients. Postoperative septic complications occurred in 29% of cases. Some potential risk factors such as trauma mechanism and associated organ injury were not significantly correlated to postoperative septic complications, while other risk factors such as mode of treatment, time of operative intervention and contamination were significantly related to postoperative septic complications (p < 0.05). The sensitivity of trauma scoring systems for the estimation of postoperative complication occurrence was significant for ISS (p < 0.05) and ARI score (p < 0.05). The relative risk of developing a postoperative septic complication was higher than 2 for patients with ARI grade III, ISS > 15, primary repair + colostomy group, and time of operative intervention > 8 hours. A child in the colostomy + primary repair group died on the first postoperative day from rapidly progressing septicaemia and multiple organ failure (2.4%). The management of ARI can be carried out by primary repair procedure without colostomy in the majority of cases if the needed selectivity is established.
