Introduction: Total nephrectomies for the treatment of Wilms' tumor (WT) are more and more performed by laparoscopy, although indications for this approach following the UMBRELLA guidelines are currently very restrictive. The purpose of this study was to assess the compliance to the criteria of the UMBRELLA protocol for minimally invasive approach of WT.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included children operated on by laparoscopic total nephrectomy for suspected WT before 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether children with a condition called esophageal achalasia are at a higher risk of a serious problem (esophageal perforation) if they get a procedure called endoscopic dilatation before a different surgery called Heller myotomy.
- Researchers checked the results from 77 children who had the Heller myotomy between 2000 and 2022, and found that it didn’t matter if they had the dilatation before; the risk of esophageal perforation was the same.
- They discovered that the only real risk factor for complications after the surgery was if the doctors caused a tear in the esophagus during the procedure.
Pediatric bone injuries are traditionally diagnosed using radiography. However, ultrasonography is emerging as an alternative due to its speed and minimal invasiveness. This study assessed the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound before radiography in a group of 186 children with suspected long bone fractures at Saint Etienne University Hospital (Saint-Priest-en-Jarez, France).

Here, we investigate an easy protocol to immobilize the desired non-water-soluble receptors inside a water-dispersible chiral nanoplatform made of silica. This approach induces chirality in the receptors and Here, we investigate an easy protocol to immobilize the desired non-water-soluble receptors inside a water-dispersible chiral nanoplatform made of silica.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 15 European centers between 2000 and 2020 with patients who underwent thoracoscopy for a neurogenic mediastinal tumor. We assessed preoperative data, complications, and outcomes.
