Repeat bidirectional double-balloon enteroscopy 1 year later may be proper in Peutz-Jeghers patients with difficult-to-reach polyps
Conclusions The difficult-to-reach polyps may have a low risk of immediate symptomatic intussusception, possibly due to limited bowel mobility by extraluminal adhesions, and the likelihood of reaching them at repeat DBE was substantial. Hence, repeat DBE 1 year later may be proper in such patients with PJS.

Serum tRNA-derived fragments as potential biomarkers in children with acute intussusception
CONCLUSIONS: Circulating tRF-Leu-TAA-006, tRF-Gln-TTG-033 and tRF-Lys-TTT-028 expression might be a novel potential biomarker for diagnosis of pediatric intussusception.PMID:38058713 | PMC:PMC10696982 | DOI:10.5114/aoms/140491 (Source: Archives of Medical Science)

Management of a Rare Challenging Case of Duodenal Ampullary Lipoma
AbstractDuodenal lipoma is a very rare entity with limited case reports present in literature. But duodenal ampullary lipomas are even more rare in nature. Owing to the recent advances in endoscopy and modern imaging techniques, more cases are being diagnosed and treated. However, challenge lies in performing a less invasive and least morbid procedures to treat them surgically in such complex location of tumour. To study the diagnosis and treatment of duodenal ampullary lipoma in a young male patient and challenges faced during surgical management. A 15-year-old young boy presented to us with complaints of intermittent upp...

Point of Care Ultrasound in Pediatric Surgery across the European Region —European Pediatric Surgery Association Endorsed Survey
Conclusion There is a wide spectrum of POCUS use in pediatric surgery across Europe. For those surgeons who practice POCUS, it is most used for the diagnosis of abdominal conditions. There are differing views among clinicians concerning the most useful applications of POCUS. The extent to which ultrasound is taught during pediatric surgery training differs substantially across European curricula.

Unusual presentation of ileal intussusception due to submucosal lipoma in a child and its management
Nisha Girish, Naveen Thomas, Gayathri Natraj, KV Satish Kumar, Neena JohnJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(6):517-519
Idiopathic intussusception is the most common form of intussusception in infants and young children. In older children and adults, intussusception being rare, the lead point is usually an underlying bowel pathology (Meckel's diverticulum, hemangioma, carcinoids, polyps, submucous lipomas, etc.) and these are called pathological lead points (PLP's). The management of an obese child with recurrent abdominal pain for over 2 years, diagnosed with ileo-ileal intus...
