Introduction: We sought to understand the impact of locum tenens surgeons on pediatric surgical care delivery.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of Children's Hospital Association pediatric surgical practices. Anonymous electronic surveys were used to investigate locum tenens utilization, primary reason for use, limitations on clinical activities, and variations in practice standards or quality.
Background: High ligation is the standard practice for inguinal hernia repair in children while adults undergo a floor repair. There is limited data to guide recommendations on the age at which floor repair should be considered. This is a hypothesis-generating study to understand the correlation of age and other factors with inguinal hernia recurrence in children.

- Recent treatment options for advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma have evolved from the longstanding ABVD regimen, with new combinations showing improved survival rates but also increased side effects.
- A study tested a new treatment protocol (AN+AD) which replaces vinblastine with nivolumab, enrolling patients with treatment-naive stage II bulky or III/IV cHL, leading to promising response rates.
- At the time of analysis, patients showed an 88% complete response rate and a favorable safety profile, suggesting further investigation into this new combination therapy is necessary.
