Zusammenfassung
Nur wenige der Kinder mit akuten abdominellen Beschwerden, die eine Notaufnahme aufsuchen, leiden an schweren oder lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankungen, die eine sofortige chirurgische Intervention erfordern. Somit besteht die Hauptherausforderung für den diensthabenden Chirurgen darin, bei Kindern mit akuter abdomineller Symptomatik sehr schnell die korrekte Diagnose zu stellen. In diesem Kapitel werden die typischen Symptome bei Kindern beschrieben, effiziente und sichere chirurgische Behandlungsprinzipien vorgestellt und die Unterschiede zwischen Kindern und Erwachsenen bei der Diagnostik und Therapie des akuten Abdomens aufgezeigt. Es wird ein Überblick über häufige und seltene Ursachen des akuten Abdomens bei Kindern gegeben sowie das entsprechende diagnostische Vorgehen, Differenzialdiagnosen und die chirurgische Therapie erläutert.
