Aim: The aim of our study is to introduce a new objective method of perioperative evaluation of the size of diaphragmatic defect to enable comparison of results among various centres and methods used for diaphragmatic reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: Prospective observational study of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and respiratory distress within 24 h of birth operated on from January 2009 to December 2011. Weight, length, thoracic shape and the diameters of diaphragmatic defect were measured.
Purpose: The aim of study was to compare growth, nutritional status and incidence of chest wall deformities and scoliosis in survivors of large congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) defect (Gore-Tex patch reconstruction) with survivors with smaller defects and primary reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: An anthropometric study of 53 children who underwent CDH repair in neonatal period was carried out. Weight, height, and skin-fold thickness were measured, scoliosis and chest wall deformity were evaluated.

Aim Of Study: Aim of the study was to assess the complications and long-term results in children operated on for solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) between 1993-2008 at the authors' institution with a focus on a novel duodenum-sparing technique to treat tumors of the head of the pancreas.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed of patient data including demographics, diagnostic measures, the operative technique focusing on tumor of the head of the pancreas, complications and long-term results.
Results: There were 13 patients (12 girls and one boy) with an average age of 14 years (9-17.
Background: Analysis of results of surgical treatment of congenital duodenal obstruction at authors' institution.
Methods And Results: Retrospective analysis of demographic and clinical data collected from hospital and outpatient documentation. Age at operation, sex, type of duodenal obstruction, associated anomalies, type of operation, time of parenteral nutrition, onset of enteral nutrition, early and late complications were recorded and analyzed.
Aim Of Study: To determine a single centre incidence, rate of early and late complications and sequelae and histological characteristics of solitary rectosigmoideal polyps in children.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of hospital charts and histological characteristics of patients operated for rectosigmoideal polyps between January 1995 and December 2005. There were 23 children operated on, the study group consists of 20 patients (3 patients were excluded because of insufficient documentation).
