  • Aorto-Esophageal Fistula Secondary to Foreign Body Ingestion in Children

    Open AccessMarco Di Mitri, Gabriele Egidy Assenza et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Background : Aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition in children following foreign body (FB) ingestion, with button batteries (BB) being the most dangerous. These batteries involve severe tissue necrosis due to chemical and electrical reactions, often leading to fistula formation and catastrophic hemorrhage. Appropriate treatment for AEF is still undefined. Method : This report presents a novel case of AEF closure …

  • Advancing Pediatric Surgery

    Open AccessMarco Di Mitri, Annalisa Di Carmine et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Despite some challenges in ease of use, HoloLens 2 showed promising results in reducing the learning curve for complex procedures. This study underscores the transformative potential of mixed reality technology in pediatric surgery, advocating for further research and development to integrate these advancements into routine clinical practice

  • Intraoperative Ultrasound in Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic and Robotic Pediatric Surgery

    Open AccessMarco Di Mitri, Eduje Thomas et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive imaging technique frequently used to examine internal organs and superficial tissues, and invaluable in pediatric patients. In a surgical setting, intraoperative ultrasound allows to highlight anatomical structures in detail during traditional open and minimally invasive surgery, thanks to the use of specific probes. In fact, laparoscopic and robotic ultrasonography requires the development of specialized transdu…

  • Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment

    Open AccessGiovanni Parente, Francesca Ruspi et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Background: Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a common disease which can lead to complications including infection and abscess formation. Different surgical approaches have been suggested, based on primary or secondary wound closure intention healing or endoscopic treatment (EPSiT). The aim of this study is to verify the superior outcomes of EPSiT, especially in comparison with the traditional open approach, and discuss the operators' learning curve. Meth…

  • Pelvic Health Assessment in Adult Females Following Pediatric Appendicitis

    Open AccessGiovanni Parente, Marco Di Mitri et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Background: The anatomical location of the appendix in females determines its close contact with the internal genitalia, involving the latter in case of acute appendicitis (AA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of pelvic health impairment in adult women who underwent appendicectomy during childhood. Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted including all female patients who underwent appendicectom…

  • Consequences of Covid-19 Lockdown on Children and Their Pets

    Open AccessGiovanni Parente, Tommaso Gargano et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The number of family dog bites in children increased in 2020, especially during the lockdown period. Paediatricians should pay a lot of attention now more than ever to educate parents on the importance of always supervising children who are playing with dogs

  • Pyelonephritis in Pediatric Uropathic Patients

    Open AccessGiovanni Parente, Tommaso Gargano et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    Pyelonephritis (PN) represents an important cause of morbidity in the pediatric population, especially in uropathic patients. The aim of the study is to demonstrate differences between PNs of uropathic patients and PNs acquired in community in terms of uropathogens involved and antibiotic sensitivity; moreover, to identify a proper empiric therapeutic strategy. A retrospective study was conducted on antibiograms on urine cultures from PNs in vesi…

  • Preliminary Study on the Echo-Assisted Intersphincteric Autologous Microfragmented Adipose Tissue Injection to Control Fecal Incontinence in Children Operated for Anorectal Malformations

    Open AccessGiovanni Parente, Valentina Pinto et al.ARTICLEChildren2020

    Even if our Study is preliminary, echo-assisted anal-lipofilling could be considered as a feasible and safe alternative technique in the management of the fecal incontinence in non-responding ARMs patients. More studies are still necessary to support the validity of the implant of autologous adipose tissue in the anal sphincter as a therapy for fecal incontinence in children born with ARMs
