Feasibility of emergency laparoscopic colectomy for children with acute colonic perforations and fibropurulent peritonitis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective for urgent and emergent colectomy in adulthood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic colectomy for children in emergent settings. METHODS:Between March 2008 and August 2011, 10 consecutive children with acute colonic perforations and fibropurulent peritonitis secondary to infectious colitis underwent emergency laparoscopic colectomy. Simultaneously, we reviewed and recorded the same data from another consecutive 10 patients who underwent standard laparotomy between November 2004 and February 2008. The two groups were compared with regard to operative time, length of hospital stay (LOS), and complications. RESULTS:The gender, age, body weight, serum C-reactive protein, number of involved bowel segments, operative time, and LOS were not significantly different (P = 0.36, 0.50, 0.33, 0.62, 0.81, 0.14 and 0.23, respectively). In the laparoscopy group, one patient required conversion to open surgery because of extensive bowel involvement, and another patient with solitary colonic perforation required reoperation for anastomostic leakage. However, patients who underwent laparotomy had a higher incidence of later complications, including wound infection, incisional hernia, and adhesion ileus (P = 0.03, 0.06, and 0.03, respectively) and thus required more additional unplanned operations (P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Emergency laparoscopic surgery is technically feasible in most children with acute colonic perforations and fibropurulent peritonitis. However, extensive intestinal involvement with multiple perforations should be an indication for converting to open surgery.
