Introduction Sutureless enterostomy is used as an effective technique for constructing an enterostomy in very low and extremely low birth weight infants in Japan. Sutureless enterostomy is a separate type of enterostomy procedure for low birth weight infants. We adapted this technique and developed sutureless loop enterostomy (SLE), an approach without a skin bridge in which the intestinal wall is not sutured to the abdominal wall.

- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is characterized by macroglossia, overgrowth, and abdominal wall defects, as highlighted in a case of an extremely low birth weight infant diagnosed three months after birth.*
- The infant, delivered at 24 weeks, experienced abdominal wall issues and underwent surgery, but signs of BWS weren't recognized until later due to her critical condition and other management priorities.*
- Early diagnosis of BWS is essential to address potential tumor risks, emphasizing the need for better awareness and screening practices among medical professionals for improved patient care.*
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) retain the original tumor's characteristics to a large degree and allow direct evaluation of the drug sensitivity, thereby emerging as a valuable resource for both basic and preclinical researches. Whereas most past studies stereotypically adopted a single PDO as an avatar of the patient, it remains to be investigated whether this assumption can be justified even for the tumor with spatial diversity. To address this issue, we established and characterized multiple PDOs originating from various sites of a patient with advanced uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS).
