Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1932-8468Gudjonsdottir et al validated four clinical prediction scores for appendicitis in children. The AIR score and pARC had the best performance. A recent validation of the AIR score (AIR2) recommended an adjustment of the low risk interval.
With the new risk interval the PAS and AIR2 score assign about half of the no appendicitis patients to the low risk group with very high sensitivity for advanced appendicitis (0.97-0.99). Expectant management with planned reexamination, can thus safely be considered for this group.
The AIR2 score and pARC both assign a smaller proportion of patie...

Systematic Review of Definitions and Outcome Measures for Postoperative Ileus and Return of Bowel Function after Abdominal Surgery in Children
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1745779This review aims to objectify which definitions and outcome measures are used for the return of bowel function and postoperative ileus in children. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched from inception to December 17, 2020. Prospective studies conducted in children (aged 0–18 years) undergoing gastrointestinal surgery which reported on definitions and/or outcome measures for post-operative ileus or return of bowel function were evaluated. Definitions and outcome measures were extracted. From 4,027 references, 71 articles were included. From the 17 articles mentioning ...

Internal Spermatic Vein to Superficial Epigastric Vein Microsurgical Bypass in Varicocele Treatment
Conclusion Testicular vein to superficial epigastric vein anastomosis is a useful and simplified venous bypass technique that reroutes the blood from the pampiniform plexus to the femoral vein. It can be done as an adjunct to microsurgical varicocelectomy in selected patients through a standard incision.

A Promising Future for Hands-On At-Home Training in Pediatric Surgery
Conclusion Participating trainees and pediatric surgeons were of the opinion that simulation models and at-home training have added value. This implies that simulation-based training may be used more often in pediatric surgical training.

Congenital Hepatopulmonary Fusion
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749213Congenital hepatopulmonary fusion (HPF) is a rare anomaly characterized by a fusion between the liver and lung parenchyma. HPF cases have been scarcely reported in the literature. An extensive search of publications was performed in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases without a time limit. In total, 34 clinical case reports were found in the literature, and a study by the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Study Group reported data on 10 patients with HPF. Of these 44 infants, 20 were male, 20 were female, and four were reported without gender specification. Nineteen (43...

Synthetic versus Biological Patches for CDH: A Comparison of Recurrence Rates and Adverse Events, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion Biological patches appear to have higher recurrence rates than synthetic patches, while skeletal deformities are associated more commonly with synthetic patches. Results of biological patches are mainly using SIS and this may overestimate complications of current superior biological patches.

Clinical Characteristics and Management of Colorectal Vascular Malformation in Children: A Retrospective Study of 23 Cases
Conclusion The identification of CRVM in children often is delayed. Colonoscopy, CT, and MRI are essential in making the correct diagnosis. The modified Soave procedure is safe and feasible to treat CRVM in children. Endoscopic sclerotherapy and/or electrocautery can be used for residual lesions.

Parent-Reported Health-Related Quality of Life of Pediatric Burn Patients 5 to 7 Years after Burn Injuries: A Multicenter Study
Conclusion Five to seven years postburn, the majority of children in our study (76%) did not experience long-term problems with HRQL. In a minority of the children, burns showed to have a prolonged negative impact, especially in those being severely burned and who had to undergo surgery for their burns. Most experienced problems were related to anxiety/depression. These important insights could be used to inform children and their parents about the expected long-term HRQL after pediatric burns.

European Pediatric Surgeons' Association Survey on the Use of Splenic Embolization in Blunt Splenic Trauma in Children
Conclusion Two-thirds of respondents have access to SE. For SE respondents, SE is used even in stable patients when CE showed on initial CT scan and its use increased with the concomitant need for spinal surgery. There is currently a variation in the use of SE and antibiotics/immunizations following SE.
