Hindgut Duplications in children; surgical challenges and lessons learnt.
Dr A Suyodhan Reddy, Dr Dattaguru R Kulkarni
Abstract :
Background
Hind gut duplications account for 8% of all alimentary canal duplications. The varied presentation and the altered anatomy of the colon and its frequent association with other organ systems makes the management of theses rare anomalies a challenge.
Materials and methods
The authors have retrospectively reviewed their experience of 7 cases of children who were diagnosed as colonic duplication on clinical and radiological evaluation. Diagnostic modalities, findings at laparotomy and surgical management has been described.
Results
Successful surgical outcome was seen in six out the seven cases.
Conclusion
The surgical management of the colon duplication is challenging. The treatment has to be tailored for each of the patient depending on the anatomical variation and the associated congenital anomalies.
