ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Duplication enucleation (DE) has been described as an alternative to intestinal resection with primary anastomosis (IRA) for intestinal duplications, but no comparative study exists. The aim of this study was to compare both surgical procedures for intestinal duplication.METHODS:
A retrospective study was performed, including all children treated for intestinal duplication (2005-2023). Patients that underwent DE were compared to those that underwent IRA. Statistical significance was determined using p < 0.05. Ethical approval was obtained.RESULTS:
A total of 51 patients (median age 5 months) were treated for intestinal duplication, including 27 patients (53%) that underwent DE and 24 IRA (47%). A cystic image was detected prenatally in 19 patients (70%) with DE and 11 patients (46%) with IRA (p = 0.09). Enucleation was performed using laparoscopy in 7 patients (14%). Patients that underwent DE had shorter time to first feed (1 vs 3 days, p = 0.0001) and length of stay (4 vs 6 days, p < 0.0004) compared to IRA. A muscular layer was identified in 68% of intestinal resection specimens.CONCLUSION:
Compared to intestinal resection with anastomosis, duplication enucleation is associated with decreased postoperative length of stay and delay to first feeds without increasing post-operative complications. Regarding histological analysis, enucleation seems feasible in most cases.Palabras clave
