title: [Incidence and management of surgical pathology in children with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas].
abstract: This report reviews 110 children of ages ranging from 2 months to 17 years, with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, and analyzes the surgical treatments they have undergone. In our series, meconium ileus shows an higher occurrence (20%) than the reported by the literature. No direct relationship could be established between the existence of meconium ileus and a more severe affectation of cystic fibrosis. Rectal prolapse occurred in 10% of the patients, and only 4% underwent surgical treatment. Three children with appendicitis developed a periappendiceal abscess due to delayed diagnosis and 2 other were operated upon for meconium ileus equivalent. From 7 patients with gastroesophageal reflux, 5 were treated non-operatively and 2 required corrective surgery. Fifty five patients out of the 110 (45%) underwent different surgical procedures.
