Article Synopsis
  • Isolated male epispadias is a rare condition occurring in about 1 in 120,000 births, often presenting as a concealed penis due to insufficient penile skin and a non-retractable foreskin.
  • A nine-month-old boy with this condition underwent a successful surgical repair using a modified technique, showing positive follow-up results with no complications and high parent satisfaction.
  • Effective treatment requires proper preoperative diagnosis and counseling, as many cases may be overlooked due to the presentation of buried penis and normal urinary function.

Article Synopsis
  • Splenic tumors are rare and can be malignant or benign; benign tumors like splenic hamartomas are particularly uncommon, with fewer than 160 cases reported, predominantly in adults.
  • A case study of a 14-year-old with abdominal pain led to the discovery of a splenic hamartoma through imaging, which was confirmed by pathology after spleen removal.
  • Splenic hamartomas are benign and often asymptomatic, requiring precise imaging and histology for diagnosis; they should be considered in the diagnosis of splenic masses.

PV reconstruction is an important aspect of LDLT, with post-transplant outcomes depending on PV reconstruction methods. However, it is unclear whether the preferential selection of these techniques is dependent on preoperative recipient characteristics. This retrospective study assessed whether preoperative recipient factors differed in pediatric patients who did and did not receive VGs for PV reconstruction.
