Background: The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics of children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) and compare the outcomes of surgical and conservative treatment of pediatric CDE in France.
Methods: Retrospective study on cohort data conducted in 22 paediatric surgery departments, including patients less than 16 years of age diagnosed with CDE between 2010 and 2021. Patients with surgical or conservative treatment were compared.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed long-term functional outcomes of children aged 6-30 who had surgery for anorectal malformations (ARMs) in various expert centers in France.
- - Findings from 367 patients indicated a significant correlation between the rectal pouch position and issues like voluntary bowel movements and soiling, as well as an increased risk of constipation linked to certain anatomical factors and surgical approaches.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of ongoing follow-up for these patients to address their specific needs and improve their functional outcomes over time.
Background And Objectives: Patients with Hirschsprung's disease are at risk of developing Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis, especially in the first 2 years of life. The pathophysiology of this inflammatory disease remains unclear, and intestinal dysbiosis has been proposed in the last decade. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate in a large cohort if Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis was associated with alterations of fecal bacterial composition compared with HD without enterocolitis in different age groups.

In 10%-20% of cases, OMT occurs as multiple synchronous or metachronous lesions on ipsi- or contralateral ovaries. Ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) is recommended to preserve fertility, but total oophorectomy (TO) is still performed.

Our aim was to define predictive factors of the main postoperative complications: obstructive symptoms (OS) and Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC). In this prospective multicentre cohort study, samples of resected bowel were collected at time of surgery in 18 neonates with short-segment HSCR in tertiary care hospitals.
