Journal ArticleDOI
Nonoperative treatment with antibiotics versus surgery for acute nonperforated appendicitis in children: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Jan F. Svensson,Barbora Patkova,Markus Almström,Hussein Naji,Nigel J. Hall,Simon Eaton,Agostino Pierro,Tomas Wester +7 more
TL;DR: This pilot trial suggests that nonoperatively treatment of acute appendicitis in children is feasible and safe and that further investigation of nonoperative treatment is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-hospital Surgical Delay Does Not Increase the Risk for Perforated Appendicitis in Children: A Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study.
TL;DR: In-hospital delay of acute appendectomy in children was not associated with an increased rate of histopathologic perforation, and timing of surgery was not an independent risk factor for postoperative complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of biliary atresia in the Nordic countries - a multicenter study of 158 patients during 2005-2016.
Mikko P. Pakarinen,Lars Søndergaard Johansen,Jan F. Svensson,Kristin Bjørnland,Vladimir Gatzinsky,Pernilla Stenström,Antti Koivusalo,Nina Kvist,Markus Almström,Ragnhild Emblem,Sigurdur Björnsson,Torbjörn Backman,Runar Almaas,Hann U. Jalanko,Björn Fischler,Jorgen Thorup +15 more
TL;DR: The outcomes of biliary atresia in the Nordic countries compared well with previous European studies, and further improvement should be pursued by active measures to reduce patient age at portoenterostomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of preoperative radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.
TL;DR: Preoperative RCT in patients with locally advanced PAC resulted in a high rate of curative resections and promising median survival in the treatment series, which merits further exploration in new studies, which are currently underway at the Department.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonoperative Treatment Versus Appendectomy for Acute Nonperforated Appendicitis in Children: Five-year Follow Up of a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.
Barbora Patkova,Anna Svenningsson,Anna Svenningsson,Markus Almström,Markus Almström,Simon Eaton,Tomas Wester,Tomas Wester,Jan F. Svensson,Jan F. Svensson +9 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the safety and feasibility of nonoperative treatment of acute nonperforated appendicitis in children during 5 years of follow-up found treatment with antibiotics seems to be safe in the intermediate-term; none of the children previously treated nonoperatively re-presented with complicated appendiciti.
