Robotic surgery in Hirschsprung disease: a unicentric experience on 31 procedures.

Robotic surgery has been increasingly applied to Hirschsprung patients with encouraging results. We report the results of a 5 year unicentric experience. All consecutive HSCR patients older than 12 months who underwent a surgical procedure with robotic approach between September 2017 and August 2022 were prospectively included.

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract in a cohort of 280 consecutive patients with Hirschsprung disease.

Background: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) have been underestimated in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). This paper aims at reporting results of patients with HSCR who underwent kidney and urinary tract assessment.

Methods: Patients seen between December 2005 and November 2020 underwent a complete kidney and urinary tract diagnostic workup.

Minimally Invasive Redo Pull-Throughs in Hirschsprung Disease.

To reoperate a patient with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) can be technically demanding and most surgeons would resort to conventional laparotomy. This article describes a series of patients with postoperative obstructive symptoms who underwent minimally invasive redo pull-throughs (MIRPT) (either laparoscopic or robotic) to assess the role of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in complicated HSCR patients. All consecutive HSCR patients with postoperative obstructive symptoms, who underwent MIRPT with fast track concepts of care between January 2012 and January 2020, have been included.

Regenerative nodules in patients with chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome: a longitudinal study using multiphase contrast-enhanced multidetector CT.

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the serial evolution of regenerative nodules in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) treated with portal-systemic shunts, using multiphasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Materials And Methods: Five patients each underwent three MDCT exams over an extended period ranging from 36 to 42 months. Two radiologists in consensus retrospectively reviewed each exam for each patient.
