- Computerised tomography and magnetic resonance tomography were performed in nine faecally incontinent patients more than eight years after rectoplasty for high imperforate anus. No statistically significant correlation was found between function, i. e. degree of faecal incontinence, and anatomical findings. Thus, in spite of a detailed demonstration of the post-operative anatomy, the information does not seem to be directly applicable in indicating a way to reoperate for faecal incontinence in this group of patients.

Abdominal manifestations of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
- 1991

In: European Journal of Pediatric Surgery. - : Georg Thieme Verlag KG. - 1439-359X .- 0939-7248. ; 1:1, s. 21-23

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 25 children (18 boys and 7 girls) were treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) during 1982-1990. The age at diagnosis was 2-15 years. Five of the 25 children died. Of the 25 children 6 patients had the diagnosis of intraabdominal NHL. The presenting abdominal symptoms for these 6 patients were abdominal pain in 4 cases, nausea 3, abdominal distention 2, icterus 1 and diarrhoea 1. Four of the 6 patients with abdominal NHL underwent laparotomy but the diagnosis was unknown before surgery. The indication for explorative laparotomy was in all cases a tumor of unknown etiology combined with ascites in 2 cases and icterus in 1 case. At surgery there was a tumor localized around the porta hepatitis in 1 case and in the right ovarium in 1 case. Furthermore, spread infiltrative growth of tumor was found in 3 cases, with infiltration of the peritoneum in 2 of these cases. A specimen for peroperative histological examination was taken and gave the conclusive diagnosis of NHL in 4 of 6 cases. Staging laparotomy, palliative tumor resection and radical surgery are preferably avoided. For proper treatment an adequate biopsy is important. The management of children with NHL is a multidisciplinary approach.
