Article Synopsis
- Corrosive substance ingestion in children poses serious long-term health risks, particularly esophageal stricture, which can be managed through pneumatic dilation or esophageal replacement.
- A study from January 2005 to December 2020 evaluated the effectiveness of pneumatic balloon dilation in treating pediatric patients with caustic esophageal stenosis, finding a successful dilation rate of 80.4%.
- The severity of the stricture and the number of dilation sessions were significant risk factors for failure, suggesting that surgeons should consider early surgical intervention to improve outcomes.
Introduction: Canceling pediatric elective surgery leads to multiple disturbances regarding the inefficient operating room (OR) management, the financial repercussions, and the psychological impact on the patient and his family. This study aims to identify the reasons for cancellations among the pediatric population in our setting and suggest some convenient solutions.
Methods: We carried out a prospective and descriptive study over 12 months in the pediatric surgery department of Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital.
Objective: This study aims to search for reliable serological biomarkers allowing the early prediction of cystic echinococcosis (CE) post-operative outcomes.
Methods: We applied immunoprecipitation (IP) of Echinococcus granulosus protoscolex antigens with pediatric CE patients' plasma collected at 1-month and 1-year post-surgery, followed by Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We compared IP proteomic content from relapsed patients within the first-year post-surgery (RCE) to cases with no relapses until 3 post-operative years (NRCE).
Background: Pulmonary hydatid disease remains an important healthcare problem. Conservative operative interventions including cystotomy or cystotomy with capitonnage are the two commonly used techniques. However, there is no scientific consensus over selection of these operative interventions.

Surgeons are able to replicate the principles of conventional surgery using minimally invasive techniques ,in particular thoracoscopy. However, there are few reports about this subject in children.
