Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) and open radical nephrectomy (ORN) for treating pediatric renal tumors, particularly Wilms' tumors.
- The analysis found that while LRN is a feasible option for about 20% of cases, its lymph node harvesting is inadequate compared to ORN, and both surgical methods showed similar mid-term outcomes.
- The authors concluded that LRN can be considered a safe alternative to ORN for selected cases, but further studies with long-term data are needed to confirm these findings.*
Purpose: To explore the factors involved in the demise of tunnelled central vascular access devices (CVADs) in children and describe patterns of failure.
Methods: A retrospective study including children under 16 years of age undergoing CVAD insertion in a tertiary centre between October 2014 and December 2019. The Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to study CVAD survival and piecewise exponential curves to approximate hazard rates.
Introduction: Congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) repair can be performed open or laparoscopically. We aimed to determine the potential benefit of laparoscopic repair regarding tolerance of enteral feeding, postoperative pain, hospital stay, and complication rate.
Materials And Methods: In a single-center retrospective cohort study, we compared neonates with isolated CDO operated open versus laparoscopically from 2010 to 2019.
Segmental aganglionosis Hirschsprung's is an extremely rare condition. Described as a segment of normally ganglionated bowel surrounded proximally and distally by aganglionosis, zonal aganglionosis is of interest because it may cause confusion in interpreting surgical margins. Diagnosis of segmental lesions in Hirschsprung's disease may be missed as it is rarely suspected at initial surgery.
