Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic stricture (AS) is a common complication after esophageal atresia (EA) repair, and a study was conducted using data from the Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry to identify risk factors for its development.
- The research included 713 patients from 2015 to 2021, finding that 20.19% developed AS, with significant factors like being a term baby, having a birth weight over 2,500g, experiencing gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and having a recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).
- The study concluded that these risk factors are critical for understanding AS development in EA patients, particularly within their first year of life, and emphasized the importance of
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the debate between performing orchiectomy or orchidopexy after testicular torsion, focusing on the need for objective criteria to define testicular viability.
- Researchers analyzed 289 cases across 14 centers, finding that 8.8% of testes showed reversible grade 1 injuries despite adverse clinical findings like prolonged symptoms.
- The results suggest the potential for testicular fixation, as many patients with severe symptoms did not have conclusive high-grade injuries, indicating a need for improved criteria in evaluating testicular health post-torsion.*
Background: Esophageal atresia is a complex esophageal malformation with an incidence of 1 in 3,500-4,000 live births, and it usually occurs together with anomalies in other systems or chromosomes. This study aimed to investigate the short-term and long-term results of cases of esophageal atresia retrospectively in our institution and to analyze the factors affecting the outcome.
Methods: Charts of the patients managed for esophageal atresia in our tertiary pediatric surgery department were investigated retrospectively.
Purpose: This study aimed to retrospectively investigate congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) cases managed at our institution using a non-aggressive strategy based on a step-up approach from esophageal balloon dilatations to surgery.
Methods: Patients' charts with CES managed in a tertiary pediatric surgery department were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic characteristics, clinical features, pH-monitoring, imaging, and esophagoscopy results were recorded together with their treatments and outcomes.
Purpose: With the increase in indications for cholecystectomy in children, the frequency of laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures and related problems has increased. The Critical View of Safety (CVS) is the target-specific method for identifying the cystic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent common bile duct injury. We hypothesize that the use of CVS is reliable in the pediatric population.
