Background: Endoscopic injection (EI) is a safe treatment for vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) in children, but recurrences are not insignificant. This study aims to show if multiple EI is still the best first line management even if in case of recurrences.
Methods: All patients affected by primary VUR, treated with at least one EI and with at least 5 years follow up were included.
Introduction: Total nephrectomies for the treatment of Wilms' tumor (WT) are more and more performed by laparoscopy, although indications for this approach following the UMBRELLA guidelines are currently very restrictive. The purpose of this study was to assess the compliance to the criteria of the UMBRELLA protocol for minimally invasive approach of WT.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included children operated on by laparoscopic total nephrectomy for suspected WT before 2020.
In vivo studies investigating the inhalative efficacy of biotherapeutics, such as nucleic acids, usually do not perform an aerosolization step, rather the solution is directly administered into the lungs e.g. intratracheally.

- The study reviews eight years' worth of data on surgical management of ovarian masses in girls under 18, comparing laparoscopic and open surgery methods.
- It includes 88 patients, with 56 undergoing laparoscopic surgery, revealing that laparoscopic procedures have benefits like smaller tumor sizes, shorter operation times, and fewer hospital days, with minimal complications.
- The conclusion suggests that laparoscopy is ideal for benign tumors and certain cases of torsion, but open surgery may be necessary for high-risk malignancy situations if complications arise.
