Objective: Loop ligation of the appendix is a challenging surgical skill and well suited to be trained in a simulator. We aimed to develop an affordable and easy-to-build simulator and test its training effect.
Design And Participants: Different materials were tested, and the best training modality was identified by researching the literature.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the common issue of balanoposthitis in boys with physiological phimosis, focusing on current treatment practices and physician experiences due to a lack of evidence-based guidelines.* -
- An online questionnaire gathered responses from healthcare professionals, revealing a variety of treatment methods, with baths being the most endorsed and a total of 53 identified treatment varieties.* -
- The findings suggest that most treatments are perceived as effective, highlighting the need for further research to confirm these results and refine treatment proposals.*
Lymphatic-sparing Palomo procedure with intra-testicular injection of indocyanine green (ICG) has shown good results but the injection might harm the testes. This article describes the results of twelve consecutive patients where visualization and sparing were carried out successfully with para-testicular injection of ICG. Procedural details are reported thoroughly.

Objective: Our aim was to develop a high-fidelity, easily reproducible, and affordable animal tissue model for the advanced surgical simulation of hypospadias repair with realistic haptic feedback and tissue handling.
Introduction: Inguinal procedures in children are frequent and typically performed in an outpatient setting. We aimed to analyze whether there is a difference in postoperative pain scores and setup time (start of anesthesia management to incision time) when comparing caudal block (CB) with local wound infiltration.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled pediatric outpatients scheduled for inguinal procedures.
