INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: In 2023, Kakuma refugee camp experienced measles outbreaks leading to delayed provision of pediatric surgical care. Our objective was to assess postoperative outcomes following the implementation of a new protocol to minimize pediatric surgical patient exposure to measles.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed ambulatory pediatric surgical care in Kakuma refugee camp to determine demographic information, diagnoses and procedures done, and postoperative outcomes following implementation of the new protocol.
RESULTS: We conducted a total of 28 ambulatory pediatric procedures. All 25 patients had received their measles vaccine preoperatively (100%); 35.7% of the procedures were inguinal hernia repairs, 50 % were hydrocele repairs, and 10.71% were umbilical hernia repairs. There were no postoperative deaths, cases of measles, and no surgical site infections (0%).
CONCLUSION: Ambulatory pediatric surgical care provision is feasible in the refugee context during a measles outbreak, and the outcomes were comparable to other settings.
