Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the gold standard surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) unresponsive to medical therapy and those with familial adenomatous polyposis. Robotic IPAA is a safe and feasible option for the surgical treatment of UC in children. The feasibility of IPAA without ileostomy has been demonstrated in adult in the modified two-stage approach.

- * During the procedure, doctors make punctures above the ureterocele while using specific tools like cystoscopes and metallic needles, sometimes utilizing lasers for decompression.
- * A study showed that 92% of patients underwent endoscopic treatment, with an 83% success rate in achieving the desired decompression after one procedure, though careful handling is needed to avoid complications like reflux.
Introduction: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Surgery is required in cases of severe acute colitis, massive hemorrhage, toxic megacolon, and perforation; in such cases colectomy and JpouchIleoanal anastomosis (IPAA) are performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional outcome, and patient satisfaction and Quality of Life (QoL) after surgery.

This study primarily aimed to assess the impact on Glycemia Risk Index (GRI) and other continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics when switching from one of four insulin strategies to AHCL in type 1 adult patients.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective pre/post observational study; 198 patients (age 44.
Article Synopsis
- Cesarean sections may contribute to increased risks of atopy and gut dysbiosis in newborns, with Bifidobacteria playing a key role in preventing these issues.
- A study evaluated the effects of a specific probiotic (PRL2010) on 164 children born via C-section, finding it notably reduced rates of atopic dermatitis and respiratory infections compared to 249 untreated controls.
- The probiotic supplementation improved gut microbiota diversity and composition, suggesting lasting benefits on gut health for children born by cesarean, even after the 6-month treatment period.
