Objectives: Percutaneous tracheostomy is rarely performed in children, especially in infants. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the complications and outcomes of PT via the Griggs technique according to the age and size of pediatric patients.
Methods: This study included 110 PICU patients who underwent PT using the Griggs technique between 2012 and 2020.
Amniotic membrane extract (AME) and Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells derived-exosomes (WJ-MSC-Exos) are promising therapeutic solutions explored for their potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly in skin and corneal wound healing applications. AME is an extract form of human amniotic membrane and known to contain a plethora of cytokines and growth factors, making it a highly attractive option for topical applications. Similarly, WJ-MSC-Exos have garnered significant interest for their wound healing properties.

- Hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation in the scrotum due to a patent processus vaginalis, and this study compares traditional open repair (OR) with laparoscopic repair (LR) techniques in a single medical center.
- A retrospective analysis of 113 patients who underwent hydrocele repair between August 2016 and November 2022 showed that OR was the standard method until late 2021, when LR began to gain preference due to its observed success.
- The results indicated that the recurrence rate for LR was significantly lower at 2.12% compared to 10.6% for OR, suggesting that laparoscopy provides better visualization and can effectively address intrabdominal connections associated with hydrocele.
Background: The purpose of surgeries performed for congenital anomalies in children is to increase the survival rates and provide a developmental comparison to that of their peers.
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the development of children following surgery for congenital anomalies and the risk factors affecting their development.
Methods: Our study included 33 children who underwent surgery for gastrointestinal anomalies in our clinic between 2011 and 2016, and did not have any syndrome, chromosomal abnormality, or additional abnormality.
