PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a prediction model to identify risk factors for post-operative acute pancreatitis (POAP) in children with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) by pre-operative analysis of patient variables. METHODS: Logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were established using the prospectively collected databases of patients with PBM undergoing surgery which was reviewed in the period comprised between August 2015 and August 2022, at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University...

PURPOSE: Fecal incontinence is a problem for many patients born with an anorectal malformation (ARM) that can impact quality of life. It is unknown if racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities relate to fecal continence in these children. We sought to examine outcomes and potential disparities in care. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective study of children > 3y with ARM evaluated at sites participating in the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium (PCPLC)...

PURPOSE: Globally, pediatric surgical association websites present patient/family education materials on an extensive list of conditions, including descriptions of the condition, signs and symptoms, diagnostic modalities, and treatment options. The purpose of this project was to assess the readability of pediatric surgical association websites' patient/family education materials. METHODS: With IRB approval, we accessed all patient/family education materials on pediatric surgical association websites from around the globe and used multiple grade-level assessments and readability assessments to determine the reading level at which the information is presented...

BACKGROUND: Fulminant necrotizing enterocolitis (FNEC) is the most serious subtype of NEC and has a high mortality rate and a high incidence of sequelae. Onset prediction can help in the establishment of a customized treatment strategy. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a predictive nomogram for FNEC. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective observation to study the clinical data of neonates diagnosed with NEC (Bell stage ≥ IIB). Neonates were divided into the FNEC and NEC groups...

PURPOSE: Differentiating abdominal pain due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) in children with acute appendicitis (AA) can cause diagnostic dilemmas. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a previously described scoring system and improve its diagnostic ability in differentiating between these diseases. METHODS: This study was conducted between March 2020 and January 2022. Patients who had MIS-C with gastrointestinal system (GIS) involvement and patients who underwent surgery for appendicitis were included...

Thoracobiliary fistula (TBF) is a rare condition, in which an atypical communication between the bronchial tree and the biliary tree is present. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases for studies reporting TBF in children. Data regarding patient demographics, site of fistula presentation, preoperative diagnostic procedures needed, and treatment modalities employed were extracted for further analysis. The study pool consisted of 43 studies incorporating 48 cases of TBF...

PURPOSE: There is a long history of research dealing with the embryology of the testicular descent. However, important aspects like the role of the gubernaculum and the development of the processus vaginalis peritonei are not understood. Micro-computed tomography (µCT) is an established tool for anatomical studies in rodents. Our study applied µCT imaging to visualize the testicular descent in rats and focused on the role of the gubernacular bulb and the development of the processus vaginalis peritonei...

BACKGROUND: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a relatively common urologic problem in children. Most cases present with pelvicaliceal dilatation in antenatal period. Historically most UPJO cases were treated with surgical procedures, but recently many of these children have been treated by nonsurgical observational plans. We compared the outcome of children with UPJO treated in surgical and observational ways. METHODS: In a retrospective study, we assessed the medical history of patients diagnosed as UPJO, march 2011 to march 2021...

PURPOSE: Malignant chest wall tumors are rare in pediatrics. They require multimodal oncological treatment and local surgical control. Resections are extensive; therefore, thoracoplasty should be planned to protect intrathoracic organs, prevent herniation, future deformities, preserve ventilatory dynamics, and enable radiotherapy. METHODS: We present a case series of children with malignant chest wall tumors and our surgical experience with thoracoplasty using absorbable rib substitutes (BioBridge® ), after local surgical control...

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is used in the medical treatment of ductal-dependent critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in neonates. Apnea/bradycardia, hypotension, hypokalemia, and fever are the most important side effects of PGE1. Moreover, gastric outlet obstruction has been reported in a few case reports. A prospective study was conducted to investigate the effect of PGE1 treatment on pyloric wall thickness in newborns with congenital heart diseases. METHODS: A total of 22 newborns with ductal-dependent CCHD having PGE1 infusion longer than a week were included in this study...

INTRODUCTION: Neonatal abdominal reoperation is difficult and can be complicated by abdominal adhesions. Identifying patients who could safely undergo early reoperation would save TPN and central line days, decrease associated infection and liver injury, and NICU and hospital length of stay. We sought to determine if ultrasound (US) could accurately assess the location and severity of adhesions in neonates as an objective dynamic marker capable of informing reoperation timing. METHODS: After IRB approval, we conducted a prospective observational study including neonates undergoing abdominal operations...

PURPOSE: There is a paucity of data regarding the comparison of robotic and laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) for the treatment of paediatric choledochal cysts. Thus, our primary objective was a comparison of early complications namely post-operative bleeding, anastomotic leak, intestinal obstruction and the need for reoperation in both techniques. Our secondary objectives included a comparison of the mean time for surgery and HJ, conversion of procedure to open, intraoperative blood loss, late complications like cholangitis, stricture and post-operative outcomes like time to start oral feeds and length of post-operative stay...
