Large Bowel Internal Hernia Secondary to Reimplanted Ureter.

Internal hernias are difficult to diagnose clinically, and normal cross-sectional imaging has been documented in many patients. Transmesenteric hernias from congenital defects or prior abdominal surgery are most common. A 46-year-old previously healthy female presented to the emergency department with acute onset nausea and vomiting eight years after a right ureteral transection during a laparoscopic hysterectomy, with a delayed ureterolysis and reimplantation into the bladder.

Neonatal Carotid Artery and Internal Jugular Vein Management Practices at Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Decannulation: No Standard Approach.

Background: There are currently no commonly accepted standardized guidelines for management of cervical vessels at neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation. This study investigates neonatal ECMO decannulation practices regarding management of the carotid artery and internal jugular vein, use of post-repair anticoagulation, and follow-up imaging.

Methods: A survey was distributed to the 37 institutions in the Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium.

The Use of the Perioperative Nutrition Score in Postoperative Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients.

Background And Objectives: Preoperative malnutrition is associated with increased postoperative morbidity. The perioperative nutrition score (PONS) was developed to identify patients at risk of malnutrition. We sought to assess the correlation between preoperative PONS and postoperative outcomes in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

Enteral tube feeding selection at NICU discharge and resource utilization.

Objective: To evaluate resource utilization in infants discharged with different forms of feeding access.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review of neonates discharged from 2012 to 2018. Data were collected from the medical record and relevant outcomes were compared.

Impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP) assisted laparoscopic esophagomyotomy in pediatric population.

Introduction: Functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) is a diagnostic technology that assesses esophageal cross-sectional area via impedance planimetry during controlled volumetric distention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of EndoFLIP intraoperatively during laparoscopic esophagomyotomy.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study reviewing all patients undergoing EndoFLIP assisted laparoscopic esophagomyotomy for achalasia between January and December 2021 (n = 10).
