Article Synopsis
- The study reviews eight years' worth of data on surgical management of ovarian masses in girls under 18, comparing laparoscopic and open surgery methods.
- It includes 88 patients, with 56 undergoing laparoscopic surgery, revealing that laparoscopic procedures have benefits like smaller tumor sizes, shorter operation times, and fewer hospital days, with minimal complications.
- The conclusion suggests that laparoscopy is ideal for benign tumors and certain cases of torsion, but open surgery may be necessary for high-risk malignancy situations if complications arise.
Background: Pectus arcuatum is often mistaken for a type of pectus carinatum. However, pectus arcuatum is a unique clinical form of pectus caused by premature obliteration of the sternal sutures (manubrial sternum, four sternebrae and xiphoïd process), whereas pectus carinatum is due to abnormal growth of the costal cartilage. In order to better describe pectus arcuatum, we analysed the files of patients with pectus arcuatum followed in our centers.

- Long gap esophageal atresia (EA) presents significant challenges for pediatric surgeons compared to non-long gap EA/tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF), particularly in terms of patient outcomes at ages 1 and 6.
- A study analyzed data from patients who underwent EA surgery in France, finding that those with long gap EA experienced more complications, longer hospital stays, and increased reliance on parenteral nutrition during the first year of life.
- At the 6-year mark, patients with long gap EA had more digestive issues, although they showed less spine deformation, with no major differences in outcomes between initial treatment approaches of delayed primary anastomosis or esophageal replacement.
Study Objective: To demonstrate a technique of laparoscopic management of a rudimentary horn in a 12-year-old girl.
Design: A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using a video (instructive video) approved by the local institutional review board.
Setting: A university hospital (University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France).
