Article Synopsis
- Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), a bacteria usually linked to late postoperative infections, has been found to cause early surgical site infections (SSI) after a change in antibiotic protocols at a hospital.
- A study reviewed patient data from 2007 to 2017, comparing the incidence of early C. acnes SSI across three different antibiotic treatment protocols.
- Results showed that the incidence of C. acnes infections increased from 0% to 4.9% with the new protocol but decreased to 1.7% after reverting to a longer antibiotic treatment, suggesting that prolonged antibiotic use helps prevent these infections.
Background: Esophageal repair after caustic injury is a surgical challenge in children. The aim of this study was to report the first results of a total laparoscopic approach in transhiatal esophagectomy and esophageal replacement by an anisoperistaltic gastric tube.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of data from children operated on with a laparoscopic approach for transhiatal esophagectomy and Gavriliu's esophagoplasty between 2011 and 2015 was performed.
Purpose: Thoracoscopic lung resection for congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a safe technique for children. Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of a fast-track protocol in such cases.
Methods: From September 2007 to May 2016, 101 patients underwent a thoracoscopic pulmonary resection of which 83 for CPAM (lobectomy, wedge resection or sequestrectomy).
Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a concern in pediatric spine surgery with unusually high rates for a clean surgery and especially for patients with deformity of nonidiopathic etiology. Microbiologic differences between etiologies of spine deformities have been poorly investigated.
Methods: We reviewed all cases of SSI in spinal surgery between 2007 and 2011.
We conducted a retrospective study comparing the presenting clinical and biologic features of 64 children who had septic arthritis caused by Kingella kingae with 26 children who had septic arthritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Children with K. kingae septic arthritis were significantly younger than those with S.

However, recent studies based on broad-range 16S ribosomal DNA PCR and real-time PCR without a probe suggest that conventional methods remain suboptimal. We developed a new real-time PCR method with a probe that is highly specific for K.
