  • Minimal Access in Pediatric Surgery

    Open AccessGlória Pelizzo, Francesca Destro et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Surgical techniques are evolving in Pediatric Surgery, especially in the area of minimal access surgery (MAS) where indications for applications are expanding. Miniaturization of instruments, using natural orifices, single incisions, or remotely controlled robot-assisted procedures, promises to increase the benefits of MAS procedures in pediatrics. Many pediatric pathologies are rare, and specialized surgical and anesthesiologic instruments are n…

  • And 2022/23 Post-Pandemic Bronchiolitis Seasons in Two Major Italian Cities

    Open AccessAnna Camporesi, Rosa Morello et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Objectives: Bronchiolitis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 24 months. During the first year of the pandemic, non-pharmacological interventions resulted in a significant reduction of bronchiolitis cases. Early in 2021, a rebound of bronchiolitis was reported with a description of out-of-season outbreaks. In this study, we prospectively evaluated the impact of bronchiolitis in two Italian University centers located…

  • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Children

    Open AccessFrancesca Destro, Ugo Maria Pierucci et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in children seem to evolve caused by changing characteristics of the pediatric population. Patients with overweight/obesity may develop more complex GB diseases. Asymptomatic patients should be considered for surgery after observation, considering age and/or pubertal maturation when other risk factors are absent

  • Echo-Endoscopy Combined with Virtual Reality

    Open AccessFrancesca Destro, Raffaele Salerno et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Introduction: Endoscopic procedures are performed more frequently in children due to technological advances that can be safely performed in an adequate setting with a support of a multidisciplinary team. Pediatric indications for ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) and EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) occur mainly due to congenital malformations. In a pediatric case series, we report the application of EUS combined with duodenoscopy,…

  • Predictors of Urinary Abnormalities in Children Hospitalised for Their First Urinary Tract Infection

    Open AccessDanilo Buonsenso, Giorgio Sodero et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    We aimed to investigate if children with their first UTI and a concomitant positive blood culture have a higher risk of abnormalities. We performed a retrospective study of children younger than 18 years of age with their first UTI. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate if positive blood cultures are associated with urinary abnormalities. After the screening process, we considere…

  • Congenital Esophageal Atresia Long-Term Follow-Up—The Pediatric Surgeon’s Duty to Focus on Quality of Life

    Open AccessCarlotta Ardenghi, Elettra Vestri et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common congenital esophageal malformation. An improvement in survival led to a focus on functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL). We analyzed the long-term outcomes and QoL of patients submitted to surgery for EA. Perinatal characteristics, surgical procedures, gastrointestinal and respiratory current symptoms and QoL were investigated. Thirty-nine patients were included. Long Gap patients had a higher rat…
