A Randomized Controlled Trial of Cryoanalgesia for Pain Management following Pectus Excavatum Repair: A Single-Center, Single-Blind, Parallel Design Study
Conclusion Cryoanalgesia improved postoperative pain control at rest and during movement following PE repair. However, the outcome was less favorable than expected because the VAS was greater than 4 (moderate pain), although after a day or two, it decreased to lower levels (VAS < 4) in the cyro group. Considering its extra invasiveness and instrumentation, a routine cryoanalgesia procedure for pectus surgery is yet to be determined.

Trends in Management of Fetuses with Suspected Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO): A High-Risk Fetal and Pediatric Center Experience in a Universal-Access-to-Care System
Conclusion This study demonstrated that more severe cases of LUTO are referred earlier and are more likely to undergo TOP. No significant trend was detected between time and prenatally suspected or postnatally confirmed LUTO, highlighting the need for further studies to better delineate factors that can increase prenatal detection.

Neonatal Intestinal Segmental Volvulus: What Are the Differences with Midgut Volvulus?
Conclusion Our study highlights the paucity of studies on SV in neonates. Nonetheless, our meta-analysis clearly indicates that SV is an entity on its own with distinct clinical features and intraoperative findings that are different from MV. SV should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in all term and preterm babies with bilious vomiting after MV was ruled out—especially if abnormal fetal US and abdominal distension is present.

The Role of Indocyanine Green in Pediatric Gastrointestinal Surgery: Systematic Review
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2123-5433The use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) is actually considered as a very useful tool in decision-making strategy during challenging surgical procedures with a growing evidence in the literature. Our aim is to perform a systematic review focusing on ICG applications in gastrointestinal surgery. We conducted a systematic review with narrative synthesis in conformity with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE databases to identify articles describing the gastrointestinal p...

European Paediatric Surgeons' Association Consensus Statement on the Management of Neonatal Ovarian Simple Cysts
Conclusion A peer-reviewed consensus statement for the management of neonatal ovarian simple cyst was formulated based on current evidence and peer practice. The EUPSA recognizes that the statement can be useful for pediatric surgeons in decision making for this pathology.

Esophageal Atresia Associated with Congenital Duodenal Obstruction: Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry (TEAR) Evaluation
Conclusion Congenital duodenal obstruction associated with EA is a complex problem. Delayed diagnosis is common.

Long-Term Recurrence Rates and Patient Satisfaction after Repair of Pectus Excavatum
Conclusion There is a high level of satisfaction many years after correction of pectus excavatum and bar removal. With the advent of cryoablative therapy since 2017, patient satisfaction improved by experience of less postoperative pain. Reintervention rate is low despite some patients reporting a perceived chest wall inward movement.

Can We Do Anything Else before Removing a Button Battery from the Esophagus? —Hyaluronic Acid
Conclusion Exposure to hyaluronic acid solution buffers the acidification on the side exposed to the cathode and basification on the anode. This effect can be maintained up to 3 to 5 hours, even after stopping its application. Our results suggest that a solution containing hyaluronic acid could be used as an esophageal protector after accidental ingestion of button batteries.

Outcomes of Pediatric Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment: A Systematic Review
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1771224Treatment of pilonidal sinus disease with conventional excision techniques is associated with recurrence up to 20 to 30% (primary closure) or with prolonged healing that might last months (closure by secondary intention). Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) is gaining increasing popularity. This systematic review aims to summarize and evaluate the reported outcomes of pediatric EPSiT (PEPSiT) to date. Systematic search was performed for all studies on PEPSiT in patients younger than 18 years, pertaining to demographics, technique, and outcomes. Fisher's test was used t...

A History of Umbilical Vein Catheterization Does Not Preclude Children from a Successful Meso-Rex Bypass
Conclusion Our results indicate that a history of UVC is not a contraindication to MRB. Half of the patients were able to successfully receive an MRB. Patients with symptomatic PHT from EHPVO should not be excluded from consideration for MRB based on UVC history.

Posterior Tracheopexy for Tracheomalacia: A Study of Clinical and Radiological Consequences on Esophagus
Conclusion For the first time, we demonstrate the right dislocation of the esophagus after PT and we propose an objective method to measure it. In most patients, PT is a procedure not affecting esophageal function, but dysphagia can occur if dislocation is important. Esophagus mobilization during PT should be cautious, especially in patients who underwent previous thoracic procedures.
