Complex abdominal wall repair remains a major surgical challenge. In transplant patients, non-vascularized rectus fascia (NVRF) is successfully used to bridge the defect. To extrapolate this to non-transplant patients, we developed a rabbit model of NVRF-transplantation without immunosuppression comparing syngeneic versus allogeneic transplants.

- - Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are uncommon congenital issues affecting the anus and rectum, which require complicated management; European experts are working on unified guidelines for better care.
- - The guidelines were created based on the Dutch Quality Standard for ARMs and involved a literature review and evaluation by a panel of experts from several European countries, leading to adaptations and new recommendations.
- - Emphasizing the need for specialized care throughout a patient's life, the guidelines outline essential diagnostic and follow-up processes for children with ARMs to ensure comprehensive management.
Introduction: Being born with an anorectal malformation (ARM) can have profound and lifelong implications for patients and parents. Organization of care and communication between health care providers is an overlooked area of patient care. The European Reference Network eUROGEN for rare and complex urogenital conditions assembled a panel of experts to address these challenges and develop comprehensive guidelines for the management of ARM.

- Mining activities in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, may significantly contribute to an increased prevalence of visible birth defects (BDs) among newborns, with a recorded rate of 399 cases per 100,000 live births between 2016-2021.
- A cross-sectional study involving 65,474 newborns found that those living in mining zones had more than double the risk of developing visible BDs compared to those in non-mining zones, with specific regions like Mwenga showing even higher risk.
- Common types of birth defects included musculoskeletal and central nervous system issues, highlighting the need for further research to explore the relationship between mining activities and birth defects.
