Malpractice in paediatric minimally invasive surgery - a current concept: Results of an international survey.

This study aimed to assess malpractice in paediatric minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and attitudes, prevention strategies and mechanisms to support surgeons while they are under investigation. An observational, multicentric, questionnaire-based study was conducted. The survey questionnaire was sent via mail, and it comprised four sections.

Work-related upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in pediatric minimally invasive surgery: a multicentric survey comparing laparoscopic and sils ergonomy.

Purpose: Surgeons are at risk for developing work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WMS). The present study aims to compare laparoscopy and SILS ergonomy among pediatric surgeons.

Methods: A questionnaire formed by 17 questions was mailed to 14 pediatric surgeons, seven with a large experience in laparoscopy and seven in SILS.

Work-related upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in paediatric laparoscopic surgery. A multicenter survey.

Background: Surgeons are at risk for developing work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WMS). The present study aims to examine the physical factors and their association with WMS among pediatric laparoscopic surgeons.

Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 21 questions was created and mailed to 25 pediatric laparoscopic surgeons (LG).

Should we be concerned about jejunoileal atresia during repair of duodenal atresia?

Introduction: During repair for duodenal atresia, it has been emphasized that inspection of the small bowel to identify a second atresia is required. The laparoscopic approach for repair of duodenal atresia has been criticized for its limitation to perform this step. Given that duodenal atresia and jejunoileal atresias do not share common embryologic origins, we question the validity of this concern.

Laparoscopic duodenoduodenostomy in the neonate.

Background: Minimally invasive procedures are performed in neonates for an ever-expanding list of congenital anomalies. The laparoscopic repair of duodenal atresia and stenosis in the neonate is one such indication.

Method: We report our experience with the laparoscopic duodenoduodenostomy for duodenal atresia and stenosis in the neonate over the past 4 years.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy in infants.

Objective: Congenital lung malformations are often discovered on routine prenatal sonography or postnatal imaging. Lesions such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation or pulmonary sequestration may be asymptomatic at birth, and their management is controversial. Thoracoscopy in children has been mainly used for lung biopsy and for the treatment of empyema and recurrent pneumothorax.
