Abstract

The aim of the work: to analyze the features of clinical course, diagnostic and treatment approaches to intraabdominal cysts; to determine the role of minimally invasive surgery in the diagnosis and treatment.

Materials and Methods. We retrospectively analyzed case histories of 5 children diagnosed with “intraabdominal cyst”, who underwent treatment in clinic since January 2015 to December 2020. Mean follow-up period was (17±1.9) months.

Results and Discussion. In the case series, there were 2 (40.0 %) girls and 3 (60.0 %) boys. The average age at admission was (24±7.1) months. Four patients were admitted to the clinic as an emergency, three had a clinical presentation of intestinal obstruction, 1 child complained of black stool. One child had planned admission. Ultrasound was used as initial visualization in all patients, abdominal cysts were detected. Considering the presence of acute surgical pathology and the ambiguity of primary imaging results, children underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. After determining the size of the lesion, video-assisted resection of the intestinal segment with cyst and anastomosis was performed in 4 cases, conversion to open surgery was applied in one case. Histologically, the cystic lesion was a lymphatic malformation (n=2) and a cystic duplication of the intestine (n=3). There were no complications after surgical interventions.
