Introduction: Adequate patient volume is essential for the maintenance of quality, meaningful research, and training of the next generation of pediatric surgeons. The role of university hospitals is to fulfill these tasks at the highest possible level. Due to decentralization of pediatric surgical care during the last decades, there is a trend toward reduction of operative caseloads.

Study Design: We examined boys undergoing orchidopexy for cryptorchidism regarding age at surgery and entity of undescended testis. We characterized differences between primary undescended testis and acquired undescended testis and evaluated the knowledge regarding the diagnosis and management of acquired undescended testis among practicing physicians.
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.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find a way to make sure doctors learning how to do surgery on babies don’t leave the job incomplete.
- They looked at 233 infants who had different types of surgery and found that no surgeries were left incomplete, and there were fewer problems like cuts or infections when using certain methods.
- The results show that teaching these surgeries is safe and can help doctors do a better job while learning.
