Introduction: Mastering paediatric laparoscopic surgery competency (PLSC) is technically challenging. The present study aimed to determine whether the inter-academic PLSC degree (IAD_PLSC) practical training program enables trainees to improve their skills.
Methods: This retrospective study included trainees enrolled in the IAD_PLSC program in 2021 and 2022 which included two separate 12 h-sessions.
Article Synopsis
- Duplex renal collecting system (DK) in children is linked to issues like uropathy and can lead to various management strategies, including surgeries or watchful waiting.
- A retrospective study examined outcomes of uretero-ureteral anastomosis (UUA) in 33 children over 20 years, focusing on complications, urinary tract infections, and follow-ups.
- The study found a 12.1% complication rate with different surgical approaches (inguinal, laparoscopic, and combined) and noted that most cases involved the left kidney, with prenatal diagnoses being common.

Objective: The multidisciplinary antenatal diagnosis staff bring together practitioners who are involved in the management of the antenatal period at birth. This project was designed following the French experience to institute multidisciplinary consultation meetings for prenatal diagnosis (MCMPD) in Benin.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study examining the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Beninese practitioners in the field of MCMPD to develop the pilot phase of the project.
Background: Healthcare curricula need summative assessments relevant to and representative of clinical situations to best select and train learners. Simulation provides multiple benefits with a growing literature base proving its utility for training in a formative context. Advancing to the next step, "the use of simulation for summative assessment" requires rigorous and evidence-based development because any summative assessment is high stakes for participants, trainers, and programs.

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.
