Long-Term Results of One-Stage Laparoscopic-Assisted Endorectal Pull-Through for Rectosigmoid Hirschsprung's Disease in Patients Aged Above 5 Years.

Despite the fact that the laparoscopic-assisted endorectal pull-through (LAEPT) for Hirschsprung's disease (HD) was introduced over 20 years ago, published outcomes in older children and adolescent are lacking. To address this, we studied the long-term results of LATEP for rectosigmoid HD in patients above 5 years of age. A retrospective review was conducted on all nonsyndromic patients above 5 years of age and who underwent one-stage LAEPT for rectosigmoid HD between January 2002 and December 2017.

Comparison of Characteristics and Outcomes in Antenatally and Postnatally Detected Choledochal Cyst in Infants and Young Children in a Laparoscopic Surgery Center.

The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and the outcome between infants and young children with antenatally (AN) and postnatally (PN) detected choledochal cyst (CC) in a laparoscopic surgery center. A retrospective review was conducted for all children who underwent excision of CC and hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) before 36 months of age between October 2004 and October 2019. Thirty-nine children (28 girls and 11 boys) were included in this study.

Ten-Year Native Liver Survival Rate After Laparoscopic and Open Kasai Portoenterostomy for Biliary Atresia.

Purpose: Laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy (LKP) remains controversial in the management of infants with biliary atresia (BA). There are no data reporting the 10-year native liver survival rate after LKP. The study aims to present the 10-year native liver survival rate after LKP and complications in native liver survivors after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).
