Minimally-invasive pediatric surgery in 2004: a survey including 50 German institutions
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundA survey on the practice of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery in pediatric surgical departments in Germany is presented.Materials and methodsA questionnaire was sent to all 71 pediatric surgical departments in Germany (population 82 million). Fifty institutions (70%) took part in the survey that mainly included data for the year 2004: spectrum of minimally invasive operations, quantity of procedures, conversions, major complications, number of performing surgeons and residents.ResultsLaparoscopic techniques were used in 48 departments (96%) and thoracoscopic techniques in 37 (74%). The annual frequency of laparoscopies was less than 100 in 30 departments (62%) and more than 100 in 15 (31%). The number of thoracoscopies was less than 50 in 35 departments (73%) and more than 50 in 2 (4%). Appendectomy was offered in 45 (90%), varicocelectomy in 32 (64%), and Fowler-Stephens operation in 33 (66%). Twenty-one departments (42%) covered more advanced procedures such as laparoscopically assisted pull-through for Hirschsprung disease. Most demanding procedures such as laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection, duodeno-duodenostomy, heminephrectomy, or pyeloplasty were offered by 10 departments (20%). Minimally invasive surgery was performed by 1 surgeon (12%) in 6 institutions and by more than 5 surgeons (14%) in 7 institutions.ConclusionMinimally invasive techniques are increasingly accepted in most German pediatric surgical institutions for a wide range of indications. However, the number of departments offering major minimally invasive procedures remains limited.
