Can deciphering the growth of Meckel's diverticulum help us to decide the resection technique?

Introduction: The employment of laparoscopic surgical techniques has reignited the debate on managing Meckel's Diverticulum (MD) due to its low complication rates. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised regarding completely removing any potential heterotopic mucosa. Our study aimed to compare surgical approaches in MD and assess the effectiveness of simple diverticulectomy.

Perianal abscess in children: an evaluation of microbiological etiology and the effectiveness of antibiotics.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics of children with perianal abscess, distribution of microbiological etiology, antibiotic susceptibility, and identify the effectiveness and coverage of antibiotics due to culture results.

Methods: A retrospective study was designed to evaluate pediatric patients with perianal abscesses between January 2013 and December 2022.

Results: A total of 197 episodes in 135 patients were evaluated.

Early endoscopic injection may prevent new scarring in idiopathic detrusor overactivity disorder with vesicoureteral reflux in children.

Objective: To present baseline characteristics and the long-term treatment results of three groups of patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDOD) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) according to different treatment regimens, which underwent endoscopic subureteric injection (STING) in the early phase of targeted treatment (TT) (ES group), underwent STING in the late phase of TT (LS group) and with TT only (TT group).

Patients And Methods: A total of 49 IDOD cases with VUR which were divided into three groups according to treatment regimens were evaluated in terms of age, symptoms, bladder capacities, involuntary contraction pressures (ICP), presence and degree of renal scar, differential renal functions (DF), new scar formation and STING success.

Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age, side, symptoms, presence of urinary tract infection (UTI), DF, ICP and bladder capacity at diagnosis.
