  • Abdominal pain is the most common
    The reason for the appeal to the doctor in children's practice. Diseases in the picture
    which arise abdominal pain, a lot. But the most important thing is not
    skip among them those that require emergency surgical
    Aid. Often enough in late diagnosis and development of complications
    the guilty of the parents themselves who, engage in self-medication too late
    Apply to the doctor. And the acute surgical pathology of the organs of the abdominal
    cavity requires timely diagnosis and conduct
    Operational treatment.

    Therefore, we decided to tell you about the most common surgical diseases of the abdominal organs.



    Acute appendicitis

    Acute appendicitis is the inflammation of a worm-shaped outflow
    Kiska. Is the most common surgical disease.
    Among children who are operated on about abdominal pain, appendicitis
    Received approximately in 60-70 cases out of 100. The main symptom
    acute appendicitis is abdominal pain. And at the beginning of the disease
    In most children, pain is localized in the aircraft region, with
    subsequently moving into the right abdominal departments. Nausea, vomiting -
    frequent but not mandatory symptoms of acute appendicitis, as well as
    temperature increase - temperature can increase as slightly,
    So reach high numbers - up to 39°WITH. Part of the children may have diarrhea,
    arising from increased intestinal reduction. With most
    diseases of the gastrointestinal tract Language can be covered with a raid.

    In acute appendicitis, symptoms may be observed depending on
    The location of the heart-shaped process. If it is located in small
    The pelvis, in the immediate vicinity of the bladder, often celebrate
    painful and stripped urination; At the location of the process
    near sigmoid or rectum can occur frequent,
    Painful bowrs for defecation (emptying). At location
    The process under the liver is intensive pain in the right hypochondrium,
    accompanied by nausea and vomit.


    When identifying changes in a worm-shaped process, removal is performed - appendectomy.

    Late diagnosis of acute appendicitis leads to development
    Complications, the most terrible of which is peritonitis - inflammation
    peritoneum. In the development of peritonitis after appendectomy, purulent
    effusion and install drainages for its subsequent outflow. Complicated
    Appandycitis forms are characterized by a heavier course and high
    the risk of the development of postoperative complications that require complex
    and long-term treatment, and often repeated operations.


    Intestinal invagination

    Under the intestinal invagination understand the introduction of one sector in the intestine in
    Another resulting from the violation of its peristaltics - the process
    consecutive cuts and relaxation of various departments,
    contributing to the promotion of content. Occurs with a frequency of 2-4
    Case for 1000 babies, mainly in boys. Most often
    Intestinal invagination develops in children aged 6-12 months
    incorrect introduction of feeding, which is usually vegetable or
    Fruit ingredients. Fiber can cause a disturbance of peristaltics,
    what leads to invagination.

    I have a stomach ache!
    The clinical picture of intestinal invagination is quite characteristic:
    The background of full health in the child appears harsh, grabs
    in a stomach. In the first year of life, this is manifested
    anxiety, unmotivated cry and crying, pouring legs to
    Belly. Attacks are often accompanied by vomiting, temperature lift.
    Chair at the beginning of the disease can be ordinary, without pathological
    impurities.

    The attack of pain eating as unexpectedly, as it began: children
    become calm, play, appetite appetite. After some
    The time described above is repeated. Periodicity of pain
    Syndrome is a characteristic clinical manifestation of invagination. WITH
    Time the outstanding periods - light gaps
    become shorter, and attacks are more frequent, severe and long.

    The appearance of pronounced pain syndrome is due to infringement
    introduced gut. In the intestine, blood supply is broken, edema appears
    intestinal wall. The cages of the mucous membrane begin to produce
    a large number of mucus that, mixing in the list of intestines with
    penetrating through the walls of blood vessels by red blood cells, acquires
    Raspberry-red color, this explains the appearance when invagination of the chair
    in the form of raspberry jelly. Sometimes blood is simply noted in
    Roast masses.

    Intestinal invagination in children over 3 years old arises on the background
    No organic changes that cause a violation of motility. To them
    Polyps include (benign tumor education, growing
    from the intestinal wall in his lumen) thin and colon,
    Multiple enlarged lymph nodes, tumor formations of organs
    abdominal cavity and pr. Therefore, with the development of intestinal invagination in children
    Over 3 years old needed a comprehensive examination for identifying and
    eliminate the cause of the development of this state.

    The presence of a child in intestinal invagination is an indication for surgical treatment.


    Tactics of treatment with intestinal invagination depends on
    Duration of the disease and clinical picture. With absence
    signs of peritonitis and lasting less than 6 hours from
    diseases, the main diagnostic and therapeutic method is
    Pneumaticrigoscopy. This is the easiest and most effective way,
    consisting in promoting air in the colon and disgrace
    Separation of the intestine under pressure. To do this in the colon with
    The use of the rubber pear is injected by air for the advancement of which
    Wrap using an X-ray apparatus. Sign of dissection
    The introduced sector of the intestine is free air promotion in
    Thin gut. Next, the child gives a drink liquid barium suspension and follow
    For its promotion, making overview radiographs of the abdominal cavity through
    A certain time. The appearance of the impurity barium in the cartoons is
    a reliable sign of the gastrointestinal tract.

    With late arrival, given the high probability of death
    The walls of the disadvantaged intestine, produce a laparoscopic operation or
    Lapotomy Opening of the abdominal cavity). After the columns of the gut
    evaluate the condition of its implanted loop. If there are signs
    Donation produce removal of the changed sector.


    Mekkel's diverticulus

    Mekkel's diverticulus is congenital intestinal defect and
    represents the grown walls of the small intestine conical or
    cylindrical form. Occurs with a frequency of about 2%. Feature
    Mekkel's diverticula is that in 90% of cases in the structure of it
    Walls included foreign fabric: cells characteristic of mucous
    stomach, duodenal estate or pancreatic fabric, it
    The circumstance and determines the manifestations of the disease. Foreign fabric
    produces aggressive secrets (hydrochloric acid, pancreatic juice
    glands) that lead either to inflammation of the diverticula -
    Diverticulitis or damage to the walls with the development of bleeding. At
    The development of the diverticulitis in the child arises a clinical picture, similar
    with such an acute appendicitis. As a rule, the patient takes on
    Operation with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and during the operation it becomes
    Clear the true cause of abdominal pain.

    During the operation, with the presence of unchanged worm
    The process, compulsory conducting the study of the small intestine for
    Exceptions of the diverticula Meckel. When discovered it is deleted
    Section of the intestine with a diverticulous.


    Pelvioperitonit

    Pelvioperitonitis is the inflammation of the pelvic peritoneum (thin film,
    covering walls and abdominal organs), uterus and her appendages with
    The appearance of fluid in a small pelvis. Most often found in girls
    from 3 to 9 years. Diseases of internal genital organs are detected
    Approximately 20 girls out of 100 operated ones, among them
    Approximately 30% of cases revealed Pelvioperitonitis. Cause
    Development of this disease, as a rule, is an external infection
    genital organs, that is, such girls to the pain in the stomach could
    Currency pathological discharge from sex tract.

    Usually there are pains in iliac areas or above the Lona, maybe
    Be time rise, nausea, vomiting. Part of the children is celebrated
    Painful and stripped urination. Quite a constant sign
    is the presence of unusual vaginal discharge.

    I have a stomach ache!
    Indication for surgical treatment, as well as suspected acute
    Appendicitis is the tension of the muscles of the front abdominal wall and the presence
    Symptoms of inflammation of the peritoneum.

    With Pelvioperitonitis, during Lavoroscopy, removal
    from a small pelvis with electric cover with the subsequent sowing of paying fluid
    To determine the microbial flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
    If on the background of Pelvioperitonitis developed appendicitis, perform
    Appendectomy, in the postoperative period is carried out antibacterial
    Therapy with several drugs, in mandatory girls
    examines gynecologist. As a rule, this complex of events
    enough for complete recovery.

    In the exclusion of acute surgical pathology of the abdominal bodies
    cavities always recommend the child survey to determine
    character pain in the stomach. The survey can be carried out either in
    outpatient order, or in a specialized, for example,
    Gastroenterological department.

    In most cases, abdominal pain is associated with diseases
    Gastrointestinal tract to which include: gastritis, duodenitis,
    enteritis, colitis - inflammation of the gastric mucosa, 12 pans,
    thin and colon (including virus origin);
    Dyskinesia of biliary tract due to violation of processes
    reduction of biliary tract and bile evacuation; reactive
    Pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas that occurs when
    Diseases of other organs of the gastrointestinal tract.

    Inflammation of the mesenterior intestinal lymph nodes - (mesadenit), as
    Rule is accompanied by stomach pain. Most often occur
    nonspecific mesadenit (the cause of which is not determined)
    After transferred acute respiratory viral infection. Glisny
    Invasia (Giardiasis, Amebiaz, Ascaridosis and T.D.) also appear pain
    in a stomach.

    Children with similar pathology should be observed in gastroenterologists and
    Receive comprehensive treatment. As a rule, in the hospital need
    Perform at least a diagnostic minimum: ultrasound research
    Abdominal and kidney organs, for girls - ultrasound
    Study of small pelvis, general urine analysis, general blood test. Data
    Diseases are detected on the ultrasound of the abdominal organs and
    Endoscopic examination (during this study various
    Departments of the gastrointestinal tract are viewed using optical
    devices introduced through the mouth) of the upper gastrointestinal departments
    tract. If any changes in the kidneys and bladder are revealed,
    then the child must be necessarily examined by nephrologist and urologist.

    Thus, the tactics of treatment, the volume of operation and the outcome of the disease
    Abdominal cavity organs directly depend on the timing of the doctor's appeal.
    Late treatment or refusal of treatment can lead to
    severe complications and even the death of a child. It should be remembered that
    Only a doctor can evaluate the symptoms of the disease, the severity of the state
    child and determine the testimony for one or another treatment.


    In a children's hospital

    When a child arrives with complaints of abdominal pain in the receiving
    The hospital department examines his surgeon. On the voltage of the muscles of the front
    Abdominal wall, sharp abdominal pain during palpation (feeling)
    And other symptoms can be suspected of acute surgical pathology
    Abdominal organs. The child measures the temperature, carry out common
    blood test (determines the number of leukocytes in the blood; their elevated
    Quantity indicates the presence of inflammation). All children with pain in
    the stomach is carried out a finger study through the rectum, which
    It is necessary to examine the cavity of the small pelvis, the exclusion of abscesses and
    etc. If the doctor cannot completely exclude the surgical pathology, then
    The child is sent to the surgical compartment for observation,
    Further examination and solving tactics of treatment. For example, for
    suspicion of acute appendicitis (but in the absence of its unambiguous
    Signs) Surgeon inspects a child every 3 hours. Children up to three years
    necessarily conduct an inspection of belly in a dream, since small patients
    Often during the inspection actively strain the front abdominal wall. IN
    Surveillance course Surgical pathology of abdominal organs
    either excluded or detected testimony for surgical treatment.

    The need for surgical intervention is determined exclusively
    Surgeon when examining a child or observing in dynamics. Other
    In-orpeable additional examination methods have a secondary
    meaning. The most common method is ultrasound
    study of the abdominal organs, but sometimes it can not give
    Full view of the truth cause of abdominal pain.


    Surgical tactic

    In doubtful cases, laparoscopy acquires -
    The method allowing the optical device to inspect the abdominal
    cavity, determine the diagnosis and simultaneously perform surgical
    Intervention with the help of special tools introduced through
    Small cuts in the front abdominal wall. Of course laparoscopy
    carried out in operating conditions and under general anesthesia. Advantages
    Laparoscopy is undoubted. First, an overview study of the whole abdominal
    cavity and small pelvis immediately allows you to make a diagnosis correctly.
    Secondly, minimal trauma. contributing to fast
    Patient rehabilitation. Thirdly, the risk of occurrence is significantly reduced
    Suit (formations in the abdominal cavity from connective tissue) after
    Operations. And last, this is a cosmetic effect: three small cuts,
    one of which is produced in the field of the navel, in the subsequent practical
    not noticeable on the front abdominal wall. With laparoscopy become
    obvious signs of inflammation of a worm-like process (appendix) or
    Pelvic peritoneum and small pelvic organs (uterus, uterine pipes).
