Article Synopsis
- The study compared microlaparoscopic pyloromyotomy to traditional open techniques by analyzing surgical outcomes in 110 infants.
- Findings indicated that microlaparoscopy resulted in significantly shorter operation times and faster recovery to full feeding compared to the Bianchi and Weber-Ramstedt methods.
- Overall, the microlaparoscopic approach shows promise due to its safety, fewer complications, and efficiency, while the Bianchi method is also noted for producing minimal scarring.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficiency, feasibility, and surgical outcomes of microlaparoscopy-assisted pull-through (MAPT) for Hirschsprung's disease.
Methods: Starting in 2005, pull-through procedures for Hirschsprung's disease were performed exclusively using 2-mm instruments and miniscopes (microlaparoscopy). Three miniports were inserted laterally in the right abdominal wall in one line, with the miniscope at the level of the umbilicus and the working trocars cranially/caudally of the scope.
Introduction: We conducted a prospective feasibility study to evaluate the value of microlaparoscopic pyloromyotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infants.
Methods: All data were prospectively collected, and the procedures were documented by video recording. Patients were selected based on the availability of the equipment and consultant surgeons experienced in microlaparoscopy.
Background: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and complication rate of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair for small babies weighing 5 kg or less compared with the traditional open herniotomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the surgical charts of 147 infants weighing 5 kg or less who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair. Either a regular 5-mm scope or a microlaparoscope was used for visualization, and 2-mm instruments were used for closure of the inner inguinal ring.
Background: Morphine can be used to treat pain in preterm neonates with CPAP because of its analgetic potency; however, it is known to induce apnoea.
Aim: To evaluate this risk of apnoea.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 91 preterm neonates with CPAP who received morphine intravenously.
