Modified versus Classical Tubularised Incised Plate Urethroplasty in Hypospadias: A Comparative Study.

Background: Hypospadias is a wide-world congenital malformation that accounts for 1 of 300 live male births. Many procedures were considered for its management. As the tubularised incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty, the most prevalent technique, caused many complications, several modifications were applied to the original operation to improve the outcomes and alleviate complications.

Comparative Study between Modified Millard and White Roll Vermilion Flap Techniques in Unilateral Lip Repair: A Randomised Controlled Study.

Background: Cleft lip and palate, which affects 0.5-1.6 out of every 1000 live births, is the most prevalent congenital defect of the head and neck.

Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes in Children with Intrahepatic Cholestasis Postpartial External Biliary Diversion: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Severe pruritus caused by progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and Alagille syndrome (AGS) is refractory to medical treatment. Surgical interruption of the enterohepatic circulation is considered the mainstay of alleviating distressing symptoms and delaying cirrhosis.

Aim And Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the short-term effect of partial external biliary diversion (PEBD) on pruritus, liver disease progression, patient's growth, and quality of life.

Minimally invasive surgery in older children with Hirschsprung's disease in a North African Country.

Introduction: Hirschsprung's disease (HSD) is a bowel congenital anomaly affecting mainly the enteric nervous system of the rectosigmoid region. Surgical resection of the aganglionic segment and restoration of bowel continuity coloanal anastomosis is the main stay of treatment. In 1999, Georgeson et al.

Serum interleukin-33 (IL-33) in children with active systemic lupus erythematosus: A cross-sectional study.

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family and is associated with the development of different autoimmune diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). So, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to measure the serum IL-33 in children with SLE (c-SLE) in relation to their SLE disease activity index. This study was conducted upon 50 c-SLE patients in comparison to 50 normal matched children as a control group.

Laparoscopic-assisted transanal pull-through for hirschsprung's children older than 3 years: A case series.

Context: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a congenital anomaly affecting the enteric nervous system commonly the rectosigmoid region. Treatment is surgical where the aganglionic segment is resected, and bowel continuity is restored by a coloanal anastomosis. In 1999, Georgeson et al.

Optimism for the Single-stage Transanal Swenson in Neonates.

Background: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) has been traditionally treated from infancy onward and different techniques have been used including Swenson, Soave, and Duhamel procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transanal Swenson's procedure for classical rectosigmoid HD in neonates.

Patient And Methods: This was a prospective study in which neonates diagnosed with HD were recruited from January 2017 to December 2018.

Impact of preoperative nutritional status on surgical outcomes in patients with pediatric gastrointestinal surgery.

Background: Malnutrition has a high incidence among pediatric surgical patients and contributes to increased risks of postoperative complications and extended hospital stays.

Purpose: The present study aimed to determine the influence of preoperative nutritional status on the postoperative outcomes of pediatric patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at Cairo University Specialized Pediatric Hospital.

Combined intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and platelet rich plasma versus intralesional triamcinolone acetonide alone in treatment of keloids.

Background: Keloids are benign fibro-proliferative growths occurring after skin injury or spontaneously. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is their first-line therapy, but commonly associated with side effects or recurrence. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived product with promising results in improving wound healing with lower keloid occurrence.

Short-term Effects of Mitomycin C Infiltration for Caustic Oesophageal Strictures in Children.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic local infiltration of mitomycin C (MMC) after oesophageal dilation for children suffering from refractory postcorrosive oesophageal stricture (OS).

Methods: Children referred to Cairo University Specialized Paediatric Hospital with refractory postcorrosive OS during the period from March 2016 to August 2017 were included in this study. MMC was infiltrated endoscopically at the stricture site by the end of the dilation session.

Serum-soluble CXCL16 in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus: a promising predictor of disease severity and lupus nephritis.

Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease of unpredicted course and prognosis. Rates of organ involvement in SLE are higher in children, and overt lupus nephropathy is more often a presenting manifestation of SLE in children than adults. Inflammatory soluble chemokine CXC motif-ligand 16 (sCXCL16) is an important pathogenic mediator in inflammatory diseases as SLE.
