腹腔镜治疗儿童先天性食管裂孔旁疝

目的 分析和研究腹腔镜下治疗儿童先天性食管裂孔旁疝的经验.方法 2005年至2010年诊治10例食管裂孔旁疝的患儿,其中5例为混合性食管裂孔疝.年龄8个月～10岁,平均年龄5.2岁,男6例,5例表现为贫血,2例反复呼吸道感染,3例反复呕吐伴营养不良,术前通过胃肠钡餐检查(GI)及胸部CT检查,均发现右侧胸腔占位及胃泡影,其中2例胸腔被腹腔内容物占据.采用改良Thal方法,腹腔镜下修补食管裂孔旁疝,切除疝囊,关闭裂孔,并作抗反流.结果 全部病例在腹腔镜下行改良Thal法治疗,手术时间90～150 min,术中发现疝孔大小3.0～5.5cm,大部分胃组织疝入后纵隔,其中3例患儿伴有结肠疝入,同时合并有4例胃扭转,患儿均有巨大的疝囊组织.术后行GI检查,无反流,胃泡位置正常,胃肠功能恢复好,术后3～5 d出院,随访6个月,贫血及术前症状均消失,生长发育良好.结论 先天性食管裂孔旁疝通常伴有其他并发症,需要早期诊断、早期治疗,如果缺损较大伴有食管贲门交界处疝入后纵隔,需要在修补裂孔的基础上做抗反流手术,腹腔镜下改良Thal是一种有效的治疗方法.

Abstract：

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze our experience of diagnosis and treatment of congenital paraesophageal hiatal hernia(PEHH). Methods Between 2005 and 2010, the records of 10 patients with PEHH were retrospectively reviewed. Five patients had a combination of sliding and paraesophageal hernia. The age ranged from 8 month to 10 year. Average age was 5. 2 year.Five case presented with anemia,2 cases with recurrent respiratory infection. 3 cases with vomiting and failure to thrive. Diagnosis was confirmed by upper gastro-intestinal constrast study and chest CT scans. All patients present with right paracardiac opacity and gas bubbles in the right lower thorax. In two cases, the opacity occupied the right thorax. We carried out modified Thal procedure to repair the paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Results Thal procedure was successfully completed in all patients. The.operation time ranged from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. The diameter of these hernia ranged from 3 to 5. 5 cm with most of stomach displaced into the thorax. Three pateints had transverse colon herniated into the thorax. In four patients, the gastric volvulus was encountered. Post-operatively, there was no evidence of gastro-esophageal reflux. Patients were discharged in 3 to 5 days. Symptoms subsided and the growth of the children was normal. Conclusions Early diagnosis and treatment for congenital paraesophageal hiatal hernia is recommended. Large defect is associated with displacement of gastro-esophageal junction into the thorax. Additional antireflux procedure to is recommended. The modified Thal procedure is an effective way of repairing PEHH.
