Article Synopsis
- Epidermoid splenic cysts are rare benign tumors in children, making up 10% of all splenic cystic lesions, typically discovered incidentally or during imaging for other abdominal issues.
- Laparoscopic partial splenectomy has gained popularity over total splenectomy as it preserves spleen function and reduces infection risk, although it requires a skilled surgical team due to bleeding risks.
- A study reported three cases of successful laparoscopic partial splenectomy in children, with no complications or recurrences during a mean follow-up of 21 months, despite varying operating times and intraoperative blood loss.
Objective: Despite recent progress in caring for patients born with esophageal atresia (EA), undernutrition and stunting remain common. Our study objective was to assess nutritional status in the first year after birth with EA and to identify factors associated with growth failure.
Study Design: We conducted a population-based study of all infants born in France with EA between 2010 and 2016.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors influencing the need for antireflux surgery in infants with esophageal atresia during their first year of life.
- From a total of 835 infants in a French registry, 682 were evaluated; 53 (7.8%) underwent surgery, with various predictors identified, such as anastomotic tension and low birth weight.
- Key findings suggest that complications like gastroesophageal reflux, poor nutrition, and surgical difficulties significantly increase the likelihood of requiring antireflux surgery in these patients.

Background: Since 2009 in France, the Peristeen® transanal irrigation (TAI) device has represented an alternative treatment of faecal incontinence (FI).
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the mid-term adherence to TAI in paediatric patients. The secondary objective was to identify factors determining TAI continuation.
Introduction: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) of the bladder is a rare transitional cell tumour of the bladder in children under the age of 10 years. The objective of this study was to report our experience and review the data of the literature in order to define a coherent therapeutic approach.
Patients And Methods: We report 5 cases of NA diagnosed between 1995 and 2003 in 3 boys and 2 girls with a mean age of 6.
