  • Mind the Missing Gap

    Open AccessMarco Di Mitri, Riccardo Coletta et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) type A, characterized by the absence of a tracheoesophageal fistula and typically presenting with a long esophageal gap, usually requires staged repair. Methods: We report a rare case of a newborn with type A EA in which both the proximal and distal esophageal pouches were unexpectedly close and located in the cervical region. This anatomical variant allowed for a successful primary anastomosis through a cervic…

  • Early Use of Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Pediatric Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery

    Open AccessBiagio Nicolosi, Felice Curcio et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Aim : To evaluate the effectiveness and economic impact of early Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) in promoting surgical wound healing in pediatric patients undergoing abdominal and thoracic surgery. Background : Surgical wound complications, such as dehiscence and infection, are frequent in pediatric patients, especially in high-risk cases. Although iNPWT is increasingly used in surgical care, evidence supporting its efficacy in…

  • Minimizing Enterostomy Complication in Neonates, Lessons Learnt from Three European Tertiary Centres

    Open AccessRiccardo Coletta, Andrea Zulli et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    In select neonates, such as those with proximal enteric stomas, the tube stoma avoids some of the commonly encountered complications (prolapse, skin excoriation). Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings in order for us to recommend this technique as superior

  • Early Bowel Lengthening Procedures

    Open AccessElisa Negri, Riccardo Coletta et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Early bowel lengthening procedure (EBLP) has been defined as any bowel lengthening procedure performed before six months of age. The purpose of this paper is to compare our experience with literature on this subject to identify common indications. A bi-institutional retrospective analysis was performed. Diagnosis, type of surgery, age at procedure and outcomes were analysed. Eleven EBLP were performed in Manchester and Florence from 2006 to 2021.…

  • A Unique Case of Primary Cutaneous Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Associated with Aplasia Cutis Congenita in a Four-Year-Old Female

    Open AccessAndrea Zulli, Alessandra Martin et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    This clinical case is the first known patient with PCACC associated with ACC. A skin excision biopsy should be performed with wide margins to avoid a second widening resection of skin in a similar scenario. Genetic studies may help to identify the origin of this rare association

  • Current Surgical Concepts and Indications in the Management of the Short Bowel State

    Open AccessAntonino Morabito, Sara Ugolini et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The mainstay of management for short bowel syndrome (SBS) is to promote access to the best quality of care provided by the intestinal rehabilitation program (IRP) in specialized centres. When treating SBS patients, the main goal is to minimize disease-associated complications, as well as achieve enteral autonomy. Surgical strategies should be selected cautiously upon the actual state of the bowel with respect to what it is clinically relevant for…
