Background: The purpose of surgeries performed for congenital anomalies in children is to increase the survival rates and provide a developmental comparison to that of their peers.
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the development of children following surgery for congenital anomalies and the risk factors affecting their development.
Methods: Our study included 33 children who underwent surgery for gastrointestinal anomalies in our clinic between 2011 and 2016, and did not have any syndrome, chromosomal abnormality, or additional abnormality.
The aim of this study is to review the experience on managing foreign body ingestion in children with special emphasis on the endoscopic techniques and specific retrieval devices used for foreign body (FB) extraction. The charts of 341 children were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic data, ingested material, removal technique and tool, level of FB, complications, and outcomes were recorded.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) represents a spectrum of lung diseases that may contain different levels of fibrosis and inflammation. Sometimes, the clinical picture and imaging studies are insufficient to determine the diagnosis and lung biopsy becomes crucial, which may be performed in a thoracoscopic or open manner. The aim of this study was to present a new minimally invasive biopsy method that seems to be technically easy, safe, and inexpensive.

- This study investigates the use of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) levels as a potential diagnostic marker for appendicitis in children.
- The results showed significantly elevated PTX3 levels in children with appendicitis compared to healthy controls, with specific values indicating appendicitis at a cut-off of 1.30 ng/mL.
- The authors suggest that high PTX3 levels in children with right lower quadrant pain could support an appendicitis diagnosis and recommend further research with larger groups to clarify its diagnostic value.
Background: Inguinal hernia repair is a common procedure in daily pediatric surgical practice.
Objectives: The present study was planned to find out whether transinguinal laparoscopic exploration (TILE) of the contralateral groin is effective in reducing the need of operation for contralateral metachronous inguinal hernia (CMIH) in children.
Study Design: Charts of 1103 children who underwent inguinal hernia repair between 2006 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.
