Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic or Conventional Thoracic Surgery in Infants and Children: Current Evidence
Conclusion The available data point toward improved recovery in pediatric video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery despite longer operative times. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to justify the widespread use of video assisted thoracoscopy in pediatric surgery.

Parent-Reported Feeding Difficulties among Children Born with Esophageal Atresia: Prevalence and Early Risk Factors
Conclusion Parentally observed feeding difficulties were commonly reported during early childhood, although prevalence decreases in older age groups. Several congenital and surgical factors were identified as independent predictors of complicated nutritional intake patterns.

Surgical Interventions for Functional Constipation: An Update
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716729Chronic idiopathic constipation, also known as functional constipation, is defined as difficult and infrequent defecation without an identifiable organic cause. Medical management with laxatives is effective for the majority of constipated children. However there is a subset of patients who may need evaluation by a surgeon. As constipation progresses, it can lead to fecal retention and rectal and sigmoid distension, which impairs normal colorectal motility. Surgical interventions are influenced by the results of: a rectal biopsy, transit studies, the presence of megacolon/megar...

Perianal Abscesses and Fistulas in Infants and Children
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716726Perianal abscess (PA) and fistula-in-ano (FIA) are common entities in infancy. Although several hypotheses have been suggested, the pathogenesis of PA/FIA remains elusive. The natural course of these diseases in infancy is self-limiting in the majority of cases whereas older children show similarities to PA/FIA in adults. It is important to rule out rare differential diagnoses of PA/FIA such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), surgical complications after colorectal surgery, and immunodeficiencies. Treatment remains empiric, comprises conservative, as well as surgical approach...

Esophageal Atresia and Associated Duodenal Atresia: A Cohort Study and Review of the Literature
Conclusion The management of associated EA and DA remains controversial. It seems that the staged or primary correction does not affect the mortality. Surgeons should not overlook DA when correcting an EA.

Ovarian Sparing Surgery in Mature Ovarian Teratomas in Children: A 20-Year Single-Center Experience
Conclusion OST is safe and effective and should be the first-line procedure in children. Laparoscopy and laparotomy constitute a complementary approach to MOT. Ultrasound follow-up is necessary to monitor recurrence, contralateral disease, and ovarian regeneration.

UEMS Section and Board of Paediatric Surgery —A Historical Perspective
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716875The European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) Section and Board of Pediatric surgery was founded more than 40 years ago. Since then major activities have been related to the improvement of quality of care of pediatric surgery in Europe. Remarkable success was achieved in the development of pediatric surgery as an independent specialty all over Europe. Other major successful activities of the UEMS Section and Board of Pediatric Surgery consisted of the development of a high-quality European examination and delineating a minimal common standard in pediatric surgery training in...

Surgical Resection of Hepatoblastoma: Factors Affecting Local Recurrence
Conclusion Extracapsular tumor extension was a significant prognostic factor of local recurrence after surgical resection of HB. R1 margin does not necessarily require a second resection, and it could achieve accepted results when combined with adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. However, patients who are not eligible for surgical resection must be transferred for primary transplantation to obtain favorable outcome.

Phenotypic Switch of Human Peritoneal Macrophages during Childhood
Conclusion This is the first study showing that lineage marker expression of peritoneal macrophages in neonates differs from that in adults. The knowledge about neonatal tissue resident macrophages might help to understand their complex interaction and to use specific macrophage properties for therapeutic approaches.

Increased Incidence of Functional Constipation in Children with a History of Perianal Abscess —A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Prophylactic stool softening in patients with PA may be considered to prevent subsequent FC.

Comparison of Hirschsprung Disease Characteristics between Those with a History of Postoperative Enterocolitis and Those without: Results from the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium
Conclusion Patients with a rectosigmoid transition zone have less postoperative HAEC compared with patients with a more proximal transition zone. Multi-institutional collection of clinical information in patients with HD may allow for the identification of additional risk factors for HAEC and afford the opportunity to improve care.

Perianal Crohn's Disease in Children and Adolescents
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716724The incidence of Crohn's disease is increasing worldwide. The clinical course of childhood onset Crohn's disease is particularly aggressive with characteristic disease localization in the ileocecal region and colon, often associated with perianal disease. Severe complications of perianal disease include recurrent perianal sepsis, chronic fistulae, fecal incontinence, and rectal strictures that impair quality of life and may require fecal diversion. Care of patients with perianal Crohn's disease requires a multidisciplinary approach with systematic clinical evaluation, endoscopi...

Colorectal Vascular Anomalies
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716727Vascular anomalies represent a diverse group of tumors and malformations. Those involving the colon and rectum can greatly impact patients' quality of life. Proper workup to ensure the correct diagnosis can vary and may include endoscopic and radiographic studies. These lesions can also be challenging to treat and often require a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best possible outcome. Treatment can include medical therapy, sclerotherapy, endoscopic, and operative intervention. Many patients will require multimodal therapy. We discuss the workup and management of vascula...

Effects of Sucrose and Nonnutritive Sucking on Pain Behavior in Neonates and Infants undergoing Wound Dressing after Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion The 24% sucrose plus pacifier was not superior to the pacifier alone in decreasing pain behavioral responses. Dressing wound pain produced a high-intensity pain behavioral response. A pain management strategy should be developed to lessen the postoperative procedural pain in pediatric patients.
