Purpose : Various procedures have been used for the treatment of unilateral inguinal hernia in children to detect the patency of contralateral processus vaginalis. We performed a laparoscopic contralateral examination and herein discuss the usefulness of this innovative method for making a precise diagnosis. Methods : Seventy-nine cases with unilateral inguinal hernia were examined. Using a 70° angle laparoscope, the shape of the internal inguinal ring could be classified into four types as follows: a Flat type, a Slit type, a Covered type, and a Hole type. Results : The Flat type was found in 40 cases, the Slit type was seen in 3 cases, the Covered type was observed in 28 cases, and the Hole type was present in 8 cases. The Slit type and the Covered type both tended to more frequently be recognized in boys. The findings of silk sign and the findings of a laparoscopic contralateral examination coincided in 63 out of 79 cases (79.7%). Conclusions : In both the Flat type (the peritoneum was completely closed) and the Hole type (the processus vaeinalis was almost always patent), patency could be easily identified. However, some Slit type and Covered type cases were difficult to diagnose. In such cases, using a probe or fine foreceps was found to be useful for making a diagnosis. Although a laparoscopic contralateral examination is superior to such conventional procedures as looking for a silk sign among others when making a diagnosis, the use of additional procedures is necessary to make a more definite diagnosis.

A case of congenital colonic atresia with ileal stenosis is reported. A one-day-old boy was referred to our institution with abdominal distension and vomiting. Plain abdominal X-ray showed a hugely dilated loop in the right upper abdomen. A barium enema showed microcolon. During surgery, membranous stenosis of the ileum and type III atresia of the ascending colon were noted. The stenotic ileum was resected and anastomosed, and colostomy was constructed at the site of colonic atresia. At 3 months of age, colostomy was closed by anastomosing the site of atresia between the ascending colon and transverse colon. However, he underwent re-anastomosis 2 times because of anastomotic stricture. We reviewed 126 cases of colonic atresia in the Japanese literature. Atresias in the descending and sigmoid region should not be treated by primary anastomosis because the proximal colon is hugely dilated in general. It is difficult to preserve the ileocecal valve in the atresias proximal to the splenic flexure generally; however, delayed-primary anastomosis and decompression by tube enterostomy may increase the chance for preserving the ileocecal valve. In addition, in cases with associated birth defects, such as ileal stenosis or atresia, colostomy is recommended.

We report a neonatal case of testicular torsion. A 0-day-old boy presented with bilateral scrotal swelling at birth. A CT scan showed a non-homogenous mass without enhancement in the left scrotum and a hydrocele in the right scrotum. An ultrasonogram showed a low echoic lesion with a mosaic pattern in the left testis. Preoperative diagnosis was left testicular torsion. Operatively, the left testis was necrotic with 180° counter-clock wise torsion at operation. A resection of the left testis and fixation of the right were performed. It may be very difficult to make an accurate diagnosis in neonates with scrotal swelling. The prompt decision to operate is necessary to salvage the testis if testicular torsion is suspected. Because neonates with testicular torsion present few symptoms, we should take into account testicular torsion.

Two cases of adrenal hemorrhage are reported. The first case is a 4-day-old male who had icterus. He presented with a high density mass in the right suprarenal region by CT. On follow-up examination 2 weeks after the first examination, the mass decreased in size and changed to a cystic mass. He was diagnosed as having right adrenal hemorrhage. The second case is a female neonate who had been diagnosed as having a right suprarenal cyst by US prenatally at 36 weeks of gestation. The cyst showed septa-like-lesion when she was 10 days old by US, but it decreased in size at the age of 2 months. She was diagnosed with right adrenal hemorrhage. Differentiation of an adrenal hemorrhage from cystic neuroblastoma is important, especially when it was found during a prenatal period. But, differential diagnosis is very difficult. We diagnosed that the masses of the 2 cases were adrenal hemorrhage by following them up for 2 months, and could avoid the need for surgery.

Simple ulcer is one of the rare intestinal diseases. It is characterized by intractable recurrent chronic ulcerative lesions in the bowel. We report a case of perforative simple ulcer of the distal ileum at the anal side of Meckel's diverticulum. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital developing right lower abdominal pain and muscle guarding. An emergency operation was performed under a diagnosis of acute appendicitis with peritonitis. At laparotomy, a punched-out perforated ulcer was observed at the mesenteric side of the ileum about 25cm proximal to the ileocaecal valve and 50cm distal to coexistent Meckel's diverticulum. No other lesions were noted in the colon or ileum. Partial resection of the ileum, diverticulectomy and appendectomy were carried out. Histological examination of the site of the perforation revealed only non-specific inflammation. and the diagnosis was simple ulcer of the ileum. Heterotopic pancreas was found in the diverticulum. The patient has been well without recurrence for 24 months.

We report a pair of brothers who developed acute idiopathic ileocolic intussusceptions. In both cases they were admitted at the age of 2 years because of colicky abdominal pain and vomiting. Their laboratory data showed some infection before crisis. Hydrostatic reductions were made successfully after 9 hours duration. The barium enema showed the cecum mobile in the younger brother. Sixty-four cases including our case have been summarized. Five cases had anatomic abnormalities such as cecum mobility and malrotation. Although this abnormality was found in one sibling, the other, it was not found in. Common infection as an etiologic factor was recognized in 4 siblings. Etiology of intussusception in siblings depends on not only the anatomic factors but also environmental factors.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CHD) is one of the most challenging neonatal diagnoses faced by pediatric surgeons. When primary muscle closure is impossible, closing the defect with a prosthetic patch has become the standard of care. But there is a problem of recurrence. We experienced a case of a repair using a mesh plug in recurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We show the advantages and demerits of this procedure.

The case of an eleven-month-old girl with a juvenile fibroadenoma is reported. Enlargement of her right breast was noted since she was seven months old. On initial presentation to our hospital at ten months old, palpation revealed firm, well mobile, and non-tender mass without erythema in her right breast. The size of the tumor was 5cm in diameter. Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated class II, fibroadenoma. The patient underwent resection of the tumor at eleven months old through an inframammary incision sparing normal breast tissue, and the size of the tumor by palpation was 6cm in diameter. Histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of juvenile fibroadenoma, and MIB-1 labeling index in stromal cells showed approximately 10%. At 18 months after operation, the patient is symptom-free and has had no recurrence.
