Article Synopsis
- This study reviews the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in pediatric surgery, emphasizing its growing application during surgeries to enhance visualization and tissue assessment.
- A systematic literature search identified 53 relevant studies, most categorizing as lower-level evidence, primarily through case series, with common uses being in the identification of biliary structures and malignant tissues.
- While NIRS has several benefits, such as reducing operative time and complications, it also faces limitations like high costs and challenges in certain patient conditions; further research is needed to assess its overall effectiveness and cost efficiency.

He proceeded to form a nodular hyperplastic overgrowth that was proven to be pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia on histological examination. On surgical exploration, he was found to have an apparent peristomal enterocutaneous fistula propagating this hyperplastic growth.
