BACKGROUND: Relevant guidelines recommend the use of the Alvarado score (AS) to assist in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA) in children. To provide reference evidence for the clinical application of AS, we performed a meta-analysis of studies related to the diagnostic accuracy of AS in children with AA. METHODS: We searched the relevant literature from databases including CNKI, WanFangdata, VIP, CBM, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from the date of database creation to April 30, 2022, and screened them according to nadir criteria, followed by data extraction and then combined effect sizes to assess the accuracy of AS for diagnosis in children...

BACKGROUND: Leadership in academic conferences is an important factor for academic advancement. Underrepresentation of women in academic surgical conferences has been demonstrated in other subspecialties, but it has not been well-studied in pediatric surgery. METHODS: This retrospective descriptive study analyzes conference participation at 2 national pediatric surgery annual conference programs from 2003 to 2022. Moderator, speakers, and research presenter sex was collected...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine the longitudinal changes in pulmonary functions of adolescents with Pectus Excavatum who underwent the Nuss procedure, the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE). METHODS: Lung function measurements were performed before bar implantation (T0 ), at least six weeks to ten months after implantation (T1a ), at least eleven months to sixty-one months after bar implantation (T1b ) and at least two weeks after bar explantation (T2 )...

BACKGROUND: Hair at the gluteal cleft plays a key role in the development and recurrence of pilonidal disease (PD). We hypothesized that more hair reduction achieved using laser could correlate with lower chance of PD recurrence. METHODS: PD patients who underwent laser epilation (LE) were categorized by Fitzpatrick skin type, hair color, and hair thickness. Photos taken at LE sessions were compared to determine hair reduction amount. LE sessions completed prior to the recurrences were recorded...

PURPOSE: To provide a high-fidelity, animal tissue-based model for the advanced surgical simulation of a Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty (PSARP) for rectovestibular fistula in anorectal malformation (ARM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A chicken cadaver was used to assess the feasibility of simulating a PSARP for rectovestibular fistula in ARM. No modification was required to implement the surgical simulation. RESULTS: A detailed description of the high-fidelity surgical simulation model is provided...

BACKGROUND: Graduate and fellowship training trends for Canadian pediatric surgeons remain uncharacterized. Similarly, updated workforce planning for pediatric surgeons is required. We aimed to characterize graduate degree and fellowship trends for Canadian pediatric surgeons, with modelling to inform workforce planning. METHODS: We performed a cross sectional observational study evaluating Canadian pediatric surgeons in January 2022. Surgeon demographics collected included year of medical degree (MD) conferment, MD location, fellowship location, and graduate degree achievement...

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic surveillance guidelines for patients with repaired esophageal atresia (EA) rely primarily on expert opinion. Prior to embarking on a prospective EA surveillance registry, we sought to understand EA surveillance practices within the Eastern Pediatric Surgery Network (EPSN). METHODS: An anonymous, 23-question Qualtrics survey was emailed to 181 physicians (surgeons and gastroenterologists) at 19 member institutions. Likert scale questions gauged agreement with international EA surveillance guideline-derived statements...

BACKGROUND: During the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a protocol was adopted by our department on antibiotics treatment for Acute Uncomplicated Appendicitis (AUA). Our study aimed to determine the feasibility and safety of non-operative treatment (NOT), compared to upfront laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), for AUA in children during the pandemic. METHOD: Our prospective comparative study was conducted from May 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021. Patient selection criteria included: age ≥5 years, abdominal pain duration ≤48 h, ultrasound (US)/Computered Tomography scan confirmation of AUA, US appendiceal diameter 6-11 mm with no features of perforation/abscess collection and no faecolith...

AIM: Robot (da Vinci Si; Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) assisted retroperitoneoscopic diamond bypass pyeloplasty (R-RDBP) performed for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction (n = 5) is presented. METHODS: Patients were placed affected side up and the retroperitoneal space accessed conventionally using 3-4 trocars. The diamond-shaped anastomosis involved incising the lowest part of the renal pelvis 12-15 mm transversely and the ureter distal to the obstruction 10-12 mm longitudinally...

INTRODUCTION: Transition zone pull-through (TZPT) is incomplete removal of the aganglionic bowel/transition zone (TZ) in patients with Hirschsprung disease (HD). Evidence on which treatment generates the best long-term outcomes is lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term occurrence of Hirschsprung associated enterocolitis (HAEC), requirement of interventions, functional outcomes and quality of life between patients with TZPT treated conservatively to patients with TZPT treated with redo surgery to non-TZPT patients...

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing. Roughly 20% of all patients with UC are diagnosed in childhood, and children typically present with more severe disease. Approximately 40% will undergo total colectomy within ten years of diagnosis. The objective of this study is to assess the available evidence regarding the surgical management of pediatric UC as determined by the consensus agreement of the American Pediatric Surgical Association Outcomes and Evidence-Based Practice Committee (APSA OEBP)...

BACKGROUND: Few studies have analyzed the cyst characteristics and complications of mesenteric lymphatic malformations (ML). This study aimed to compare ML's cyst characteristics and preoperative complications at different locations and suggest a modified ML classification for patients requiring surgery.

BACKGROUND: Pyloromyotomy has a low rate of wound complications, yet antibiotic prophylaxis is still given. The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database was queried to determine whether prophylactic antibiotics decreased wound complications. METHODS: Records for infants with pyloric stenosis between 2016 and 2021 were extracted from the PHIS database and analyzed for demographics, comorbid conditions, and complications within 30 days of pyloromyotomy...
