Small Bowel Obstruction Following Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair-Incidence and Risk Factors.

Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a known complication following congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair, resulting in significant morbidity and potential mortality. Our study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for SBO following CDH repair.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective review evaluated all CDH births between January 2010 and September 2022 (n = 120).

Management of fetal head and neck masses: Evaluation of prenatal factors associated with airway obstruction and decision for definitive airway and ex-utero intrapartum treatment at birth.

Objective: Fetal head and neck masses can result in critical airway obstruction. Our study aimed to evaluate prenatal factors associated with the decision for a definitive airway, including ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT), at birth among at-risk fetuses.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective review evaluated all fetal head and neck masses prenatally diagnosed from 2005 to 2023.
