Evaluation of Peripheral Lymphadenopathies in Children in a Single Center: Predictive Factors for Malignancy.

Background: Lymphadenopathy (LAP) is a common finding in pediatric patients. It was aimed to determine predictive factors in distinguishing cases with malignant or benign lymphadenopathy in this study.

Subjects And Methods: Between January 2022 and January 2023, 101 patients (1-16 years old) with lymphadenopathy were retrospectively examined.

Intrauterine volvulus: systemic review of the literature with pooled analysis.

Our objective is to analyse the observations related to intrauterine volvulus and assess how clinical manifestations and treatment strategies impact prognosis. We conducted a comprehensive search on Pubmed and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 2022, using search terms like "intrauterine volvulus" or "foetal volvulus," supplemented by manual scrutiny of reference lists in relevant texts and articles.

Comparison of Clinical Features of Intussusception in Terms of Age and Duration of Symptoms.

Objectives: Intussusception is one of the most common surgical emergencies in children. We aimed to analyze the current clinical characteristics of intussusception.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 209 children diagnosed with intussusception, who were admitted to our hospital between January 2009 and August 2022.

Conservative management of iatrogenic tracheal rupture in a 19-month-old child.

Up to date, only five cases of iatrogenic tracheal rupture during rigid bronchoscopy have been reported in children. Herein, we report the first case who has recovered with spontaneous respiration without intubation. Rigid bronchoscopy of a 19-month-old girl revealed a foreign body at the right main bronchus.

First Report of Treatment with Pancreas-Sparing Duodenectomy in a Child with Primary Intestinal Lymphangiectasia.

Pancreas-sparing duodenectomy (PSD) is a known surgical technique used in patients with duodenal pathologies in the adult age group. We present a 3-year-old female patient with intestinal lymphangiectasia who underwent PSD. This is the first case in which this surgical technique was used in childhood.

The long term effects of intrascrotal low dose and high dose N-acetylcysteine on testis damage in rat model of testicular torsion.

Background/purpose: During testicular torsion, the testes face oxidative damage owing to ischemia/reperfusion. We studied the long term effects of the intrascrotal administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) during detorsion procedure in a rat model of testicular torsion.

Methods: Twenty-eight rats were divided into 4 groups: (1) Control group: No procedure was done (2): Torsion-detorsion group: Testis torsion applied for 3 h (3): Low Dose Group: After testis torsion-detorsion (for 3 h) 10 mg/kg NAC was given into tunica vaginalis (4): High Dose Group: After testis torsion-detorsion (for 3 h) 100 mg/kg NAC was given into tunica vaginalis.

Natural History and Conservative Treatment Outcomes for Hydroceles: A Retrospective Review of One Center's Experience.

Objective: To elucidate epidemiological data and hydrocele progression, we reviewed pediatric patients diagnosed with hydroceles in our institution retrospectively.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed data from 355 pediatric patients with hydroceles. Questionnaires regarding age at diagnosis, time of delivery, presence of hydroceles in the father and brothers, age at recovery, age at surgery, cause of hydrocele (if present), type of hydrocele, associated pathologies, treatments, and posthydrocelectomy complications were completed by reviewing patients' medical records and interviewing their families.
