Comparison of Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy and Microsurgical Varicocelectomy with Internal Spermatic Vein-Superficial Epigastric Vein Bypass in Adolescent Patients
Both LV and MV are safe and effective techniques for adolescent varicocele repair, with comparable complication and recurrence rates. LV offers significantly shorter operative time, whereas MV provides a superior improvement in semen parameters, suggesting a potential advantage of microsurgical repair in adolescents presenting with abnormal semen analysis
Forme Fruste Choledochal Cysts in Children: Clinical Presentation and Treatment Outcomes—A Retrospective Multicenter Study
Purpose : Forme fruste choledochal cyst (FFCC) is a choledochal cyst with minimal or no dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) and is usually associated with an anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ). While sharing similar symptoms, inflammation, and malignant potential with classic biliary cysts, FFCC is often overlooked on ultrasound. This paper aims to present the experience of two tertiary pediatric centers in managing FFCC. Me…
Salivary Biomarkers in Pediatric Acute Appendicitis: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Salivary biomarkers in pediatric appendicitis are promising but remain underexplored, with evidence limited to small, single-center studies totalling fewer than 300 patients. Their advantages include feasibility, tolerability, and suitability for integration into point-of-care testing. Future research should focus on multicenter validation, development of multi-marker salivary panels, and application of biosensor technologies. With further eviden…
Risk Factors Leading to Overnight Stays in Pediatric Surgical Outpatients
Although the duration of surgery was imposed as the main predictor of hospitalization after same-day surgery, and considering the extremely small number of studies on the mentioned topic, especially in the pediatric population, further, preferably multicenter research on the mentioned topic is needed
Comparison of Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (Pirs) versus Open Ligation of the Patent Processus Vaginalis for the Treatment of Communicating Pediatric Hydrocele
PIRS is a safe and effective laparoscopic technique that can be used in the treatment of communicating hydrocele in children. PIRS showed excellent outcomes and a low incidence of complications and recurrences, comparable to traditional open surgery
Trends and Predictors of Pediatric Negative Appendectomy Rates: A Single-Centre Retrospective Study
The majority of negative appendectomies were performed in children older than 9 years and most frequently in female children aged 10 to 15 years. In addition, female children have significantly lower BMI values compared to male children with negative appendectomy. An increase in the utilization of auxiliary diagnostic methods such as computed tomography could affect the reduction in the pediatric negative appendectomy rate
Clinical Outcomes of Daytime Versus Nighttime Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Children
Aim of the study : To evaluate the clinical outcomes and complication rate of laparoscopic appendectomy in children operated on during the daytime versus nighttime. Methods : A total of 303 children who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into two study groups. The first group consisted of the patients who underw…
A Bizarre Cause of Acute Appendicitis in a Pediatric Patient: An Ingested Tooth
(1) Background: Among all possible causes, foreign bodies are the rarest cause of appendicitis in the pediatric population. In the majority of cases, ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without causing symptoms. However, those foreign bodies that pass through the lumen of the vermiform appendix cannot re-enter the colon and may cause acute appendicitis. So far, various foreign bodies have been described to enter the ap…
Incidence and Management of Appendiceal Neuroendocrine Tumors in Pediatric Population: A Bicentric Experience with 6285 Appendectomies
The incidence of appendiceal NET among pediatric patients is very low. NET occurs most frequently in adolescents, with a female predominance. Most tumors are less than 1 cm in diameter, located at the tip, and associated with non-perforated appendicitis. Appendectomy is the treatment of choice, and major surgery was not necessary in our cohort
The Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Common Bile Duct Exploration: A Single-Step Treatment of Pediatric Cholelithiasis and Choledocholithiasis
Exploration of the common bile duct and removal of stones by LCBDE is safe and feasible in pediatric patients for the treatment of choledocholithiasis. Through this procedure, choledocholithiasis and cholelithiasis can be treated in a single procedure without papillotomy or fluoroscopy. Compared with LC + ERCP, LCBDE is associated with a shorter hospital stay. The incidence of complications was rather low but not statistically significant
Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Treatment of Pediatric Tibial Fractures: A 20-Year Single Center Experience of 132 Cases
ESIN is a minimally invasive bone surgery technique and is a highly effective treatment for pediatric tibial unstable fractures with a low rate of complications. Based on the given results, surgical stabilization of the tibial fractures using titanium intramedullary nailing can be safely performed without casting with early physiotherapy
The Incidence and Causes of Unplanned Reoperations as a Quality Indicator in Pediatric Surgery
Unplanned reoperations within the 30-day period after the initial surgical procedure can be a good quality indicator in pediatric surgery. Risk factors associated with uROR are emergency surgery, male gender, and ASA score ≥3 in elective pediatric surgery
Total Intravenous Anesthesia with Ketofol versus Combination of Ketofol and Lidocaine for Short-Term Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients; Double Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial of Effects on Recovery
The recovery in pediatric anesthesia can improve with usage of TIVA with ketofol plus lidocaine admixture with a reduced McFarlan dose regimen
Same-Day Discharge after Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Simple Appendicitis in Pediatric Patients—Is It Possible
(1) Background: One-day surgery has been widely adopted for many elective laparoscopic procedures in pediatric patients. Recently, the same protocol has been investigated for some emergency procedures, such as laparoscopic appendectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of discharge from hospital within 24 h in pediatric patients who received laparoscopic appendectomy for uncomplicated acute appendicitis. (2) Methods: From…
Difference in Pandemic-Related Experiences and Factors Associated with Sickness Absence among Nurses Working in Covid-19 and Non-Covid-19 Departments
It was possible to predict the probability of using SA among nurses due to pandemic professional experience, personality traits and coping strategies
The Effect of Subcutaneous and Intraperitoneal Instillation of Local Anesthetics on Postoperative Pain after Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
A significant reduction in postoperative pain intensity and analgesics consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic varicocelectomy who received intraoperative local anesthetic was observed. The best effect on postoperative pain intensity, according to the VAS score, was achieved by 0.5% levobupivacaine
The Safety and Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy Using 3-mm Electrocautery Hook versus Open Surgery for Treatment of Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis in Infants
Open and laparoscopic pyloromyotomy are equally safe and effective in treatment of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Laparoscopic technique is associated with faster recovery, shorter duration of surgery and shorter duration of hospital stay
Learning Curve for Laparoscopic Repair of Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Using Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing
A PIRS learning curve for perioperative and postoperative complications, recurrences, and conversion rates reached the plateau after each surgeon had performed at least 30 cases. After that number of cases PIRS is a safe and effective approach for pediatric hernia repair. A surgeon with an advanced level of experience in pediatric laparoscopic surgery adopted the technique more easily and had a significantly faster learning curve
