Introduction: Training novice ophthalmology residents on the EyeSi simulator increases cataract surgery safety. However, there is no consensus regarding how much training residents should perform before their first time on patients. We evaluated the French national training program through the analysis of the learning curves of novice residents.

The purpose of this study was to assess the compliance to the criteria of the UMBRELLA protocol for minimally invasive approach of WT.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included children operated on by laparoscopic total nephrectomy for suspected WT before 2020.
Introduction: Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed in France. While the incidence of intraoperative complications affecting visual prognosis is extremely low, given the large number of patients operated on, the absolute number of patients affected by complications is quite high. Complication rates are significantly higher when ophthalmology residents (ORs) perform the surgery.

Our study objective was to assess nutritional status in the first year after birth with EA and to identify factors associated with growth failure.
Study Design: We conducted a population-based study of all infants born in France with EA between 2010 and 2016.
Article Synopsis
- Long gap esophageal atresia (EA) presents significant challenges for pediatric surgeons compared to non-long gap EA/tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF), particularly in terms of patient outcomes at ages 1 and 6.
- A study analyzed data from patients who underwent EA surgery in France, finding that those with long gap EA experienced more complications, longer hospital stays, and increased reliance on parenteral nutrition during the first year of life.
- At the 6-year mark, patients with long gap EA had more digestive issues, although they showed less spine deformation, with no major differences in outcomes between initial treatment approaches of delayed primary anastomosis or esophageal replacement.
