Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS-A) through one transumbilical port vs. 3-port laparoscopic (3TA) appendectomy in children.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 309 children (65 LESS-A, 244 3TA) operated on between 2008 and 2012.
Background: The natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has become a commonly considered novel approach in the surgical field. The NOTES provide possibility of operation through the natural orifice and decreases the intentional puncture of the systemic organ and subsequent complications. Totally transanal laparo-endoscopic single-site proctoColectomy-Ileoanal J-Pouch (TLPC-J) is a novel method in minimally invasive surgery for total colectomy.

Background: The ingestion or insertion of alkaline batteries in the body can cause severe damage to hollow organs. We report here a case of severe vaginal burns in a young patient caused by an alkaline battery.
Case: A 5-year-old girl presented to our outpatient department with pelvic pain and vaginal discharge.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) and open appendectomy (OA) outcomes in children with perforated appendicitis.
- findings showed that LA led to significantly lower rates of re-admissions, re-operations, and wound infections compared to OA.
- There were no notable differences in operation duration or intra-abdominal abscess rates, but conversion from LA resulted in more complications.
Unlabelled: Abstract Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery in children with long-segment intestinal aganglionosis aims to reduce the number of abdominal wall incisions. Conventional laparoscopic and laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgeries fulfill this goal. In children, natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES™; American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy [Oak Brook, IL] and Society for American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons [Los Angeles, CA]) has been limited because of fear of access site complications.
