Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic stricture (AS) is a common complication after esophageal atresia (EA) repair, and a study was conducted using data from the Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry to identify risk factors for its development.
- The research included 713 patients from 2015 to 2021, finding that 20.19% developed AS, with significant factors like being a term baby, having a birth weight over 2,500g, experiencing gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and having a recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).
- The study concluded that these risk factors are critical for understanding AS development in EA patients, particularly within their first year of life, and emphasized the importance of
Objectives: Postoperative ventilatory strategies in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) may have an impact on early postoperative complications. Our national Esophageal Atresia Registry was evaluated to define a possible relationship between the type and duration of respiratory support on postoperative complications and outcome.
Study Design: Among the data registered by 31 centers between 2015 and 2021, patients with esophago-esophageal anastomosis (EEA)/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) were divided into two groups; invasive ventilatory support (IV) and noninvasive ventilatory support and/or oxygen support (NIV-OS).
Background: Neuroglial choristomas are rare entities that are composed of differentiated neuroectodermal cells presenting where they do not belong.
Case: Here in this paper, we represent a two-year old patient with a very rare presentation of neuroglial choristoma which manifested itself within a thyroglossal duct cyst. In this paper we will also discuss pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, differential diagnosis and management of the neuroglial choristomas.
Mechanical and chemical trauma are a widely accepted theories to explain the pathogenesis of meatalstenosis after newborn circumcision. The aim of the present study was to explore the theory that an exposed glans is prone to meatal stenosis. This was done by a novel investigation of boys who were born with "hooded prepuce", a condition in which the glans is completely exposed.

Methods: The data on children who underwent surgical treatment for symptomatic OMD remnants during a 17-year period were reviewed retrospectively, excluding incidental diverticulectomies.
Results: A total of 59 children with a median age of 36 months underwent operations for symptomatic OMD remnants.
