Cloacal Malformations: Technical Aspects of the Reconstruction and Factors Which Predict Surgical Complexity

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Cloacal malformations are rare anomalies which occur in one in 50,000 live births. Anatomically these anomalies are defined by the presence of a single perineal orifice. There is however a substantial range in their complexity. Defining these differences

Case report: Magnetic resonance imaging-based three-dimensional printing for reconstruction of complex cloacal malformations

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
BackgroundSurgical reconstruction of the urinary tract, anus, and vagina is the definitive treatment for cloacal malformation. However, this procedure may be technically challenging in patients with a long common channel (>3 cm), because further ...

Late Diagnosis of Complete Colonic and Rectal Duplication in a Girl with an Anorectal Malformation

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Reports, 2019
Complete colonic duplication is rare, and usually occurs as a part of the caudal duplication syndrome. In such cases, the diagnosis is clinically evident by the presence of two ani arranged side by side in the perineum, which is commonly associated with ...

1‐D Collocated Dual‐Gradient Sensory Fibers for Comprehensive Sensing and Decoding of Complex Human Motion and Physiology

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Coupled materials design enables a monolithic fiber that integrates complementary sensing regimes into a single wearable strand. By preserving informative signal features across subtle physiological deformation, large body motion, and mixed mechanical inputs, the dual‐gradient architecture generates synchronized, less redundant outputs that improve ...

Extrusion Bioprinting for Wound Healing: Innovations in Functionalized Bioinks and Bioprinting Technology

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion‐based bioprinting (EBB) has emerged as a versatile biofabrication platform capable of precisely depositing bioinks composed of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive agents to generate patient‐specific, biomimetic skin constructs. This paper presents a state‐of‐the‐art and forward‐looking overview of EBB for wound healing, encompassing printing ...

A Modification of the Newborn Operation for Cloacal Exstrophy: Leaving the Cecal Plate Untouched

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Reports
The conventional approach to managing a newborn with cloacal exstrophy typically includes separating the cecal plate from between the two hemibladders, tubularizing it to be included in the fecal stream, creating an end colostomy, and bringing the two ...

Comparison of microbiota in the cloaca, colon, and magnum of layer chicken.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Anatomically terminal parts of the urinary, reproductive, and digestive systems of birds all connect to the cloaca. As the feces drain through the cloaca in chickens, the cloacal bacteria were previously believed to represent those of the digestive ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Challenges in the Prenatal Diagnosis of Cloaca

Global Pediatric Health, 2020
Background: Cloaca is a common excretory channel for the genital, urinary, and gastrointestinal tracts. It is considered a severe anorectal malformation caused by failed partitioning of the genital, rectal, and urinary tracts.
