Laparoscopic‐assisted ‘pull‐introducer technique’ for gastrostomy tube placement in small infants: A single‐centre experience

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Kirberg et al. described in 2016 a one‐step gastrostomy tube placement, the ‘pull‐introducer’ technique, designed for small‐for‐gestational‐age neonates, combining two endoscopic techniques. Nine infants (weight 3.4–8.1 kg) in our centre required a gastrostomy placement (two infants) or a combined gastrostomy placement and Nissen ...

Repeat fracture of shunts in ventriculoperitoneal shunting with pelvic migration: An African teen case report with literature review

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2022
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is the most common procedure performed to cure hydrocephalus. It is also the most failure prone. Mechanical late complications as shunt fracture or shunt migration are fairly often common in childhood.

Incidence of and Causes for Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Failure in Children Younger Than 2 Years: A Systematic Review

Central European Neurosurgery, 2018
Objectives Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is commonly used to treat pediatric hydrocephalus, but failure rates are high. VP shunt failure in children is mostly caused by infection and/or proximal/distal shunt obstruction.

Obstruction caused by suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst expansion after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with hydrocephalus

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This article focuses on four cases of hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in our center from 2016 to 2021. Imaging follow‐up showed that the secondary suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst was enlarged and then formed obstructive hydrocephalus. The clinical symptoms were relieved after a suprasellar cisterna cyst stomy.
