Introduction: Recently, the use of thoracoscopic methods in spinal deformity surgery has increased, however, the issue of the effectiveness of combining anterior release with posterior spinal fusion compared to single-stage posterior instrumentation remains controversial, which raises the issue of the effectiveness and feasibility of their use.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic anterior release for thoracic scoliosis in children.

Material And Method: A retrospective analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 48 patients with idiopathic scoliosis of the thoracic spine aged 12-17 years, with a thoracic curve of more than 60°, was carried out.

Portal hypertension is a syndrome characterized by increased pressure in the portal vein system and can be caused by impaired blood flow in the portal vein, hepatic veins, or inferior vena cava. The main complications of this condition are bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus (in our study in 100% of patients), splenomegaly with hypersplenism (in our study in 98% of patients), ascites (in our study in 1 patient). The main goal of treating portal hypertension is to prevent bleeding from esophageal varices.

Introduction: Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is one of the most severe forms of congenital epidermolysis bullosa and characterized by the formation of many surgical complications. Esophageal stenosis is a common complication of DEB and occurs in almost 76% of cases. Balloon dilatation (BD) under X-ray control is the main therapeutic technique, however conservative treatment is necessary to prevent restenosis.

We present a case of tubular esophageal duplication in a 3-day-old female newborn (38 weeks, 2,500 g) without concomitant abnormal development. Esophageal duplication was diagnosed based on the clinical picture, direct laryngoscopy, esophagography and computed tomography. The duplicated esophagus was resected by thoracoscopy leaving the orthotopic esophagus in place.

Complete tracheal rings are a rare pathology occurring in 1 out of 100,000 live births. It is rare isolated tracheal or tracheobronchial anomaly resulting from abnormal cartilage growth, forming a complete ring, and leading to airway stenosis. A sliding tracheoplasty, primarily described by Tsang et al.
