Article Synopsis
  • - A study compared surgical outcomes of robot-assisted surgery and laparoscopy in 39 pediatric patients with benign ovarian tumors, against 55 treated with laparoscopy by the same surgeons.
  • - Results showed no major differences in age, weight, or tumor size, but the robotic surgery had a longer operative time (102.7 min vs. 89.3 min) and fewer patients could go home the same day (15.4% for robotic vs. 54.5% for laparoscopy).
  • - Overall, both methods yielded similar effectiveness, but robotic surgery took longer to perform while being equally safe without complications or need for open surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated long-term outcomes of ovarian preserving surgery for neonatal ovarian cysts over several years at a hospital.
  • A total of 22 patients were analyzed, revealing that simple cysts had a higher ovarian preservation rate (90%) compared to complex cysts (12.5%).
  • The results indicate that while simple cysts have good prognoses and preservation rates, complex cysts show lower chances of ovarian preservation after surgical treatment.

Background: Various animal models have been used to explore the pathogenesis of choledochal cysts (CCs), but with little convincing results. Current surgical techniques can achieve satisfactory outcomes for treatment of CCs. Consequently, recent studies have focused more on clinical issues rather than basic research.

Background: Since 2017, the number of magnet ingestion cases has increased year over year in our hospital. Almost all of the ingested magnetic foreign bodies were magnetic beads, and most of the patients experienced intestinal perforations, causing substantial damage.

Aim: To summarize our experience with surgical treatment of multiple magnet ingestion in children.

Oridonin, the main active component of Rabdosia rubescens, has antitumor activities in experimental and clinical settings. The aims of the current study were to explore the anticancer abilities of oridonin in hepatoblastoma (HB) HuH-6 cells and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. We found that oridonin inhibited HuH-6 cell in vitro growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
