The Role of Postoperative Dressing in Hypospadias Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Pediatric Literature
This study aimed to describe the available dressings and their management in patients undergoing hypospadias repair and compare postoperative outcomes with and without dressing and between the different dressing types. A comprehensive electronic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted to obtain studies, published in the period 1990 to 2021, reporting on the dressing used following hypospadias surgery. All information regarding the dressing was considered as primary endpoints, whereas surgical outcomes were assessed as secondary outcomes. Thirty-one studies containing 1,790 subjects undergoin...

Sparing the Perineal Body: A Modification of the Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty for Anorectal Malformations with Rectovestibular Fistulae
Conclusion We present a new technique, a modification of the traditional PSARP for rectovestibular fistula, which spares the perineal body. This approach could eliminate the potential complication of perineal body dehiscence.

Complication Is Inevitable, but Suffering is Optional —Psychological Aspects of Dealing with Complications in Surgery
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1767830Surgical complications remain common in health care and constitute a significant challenge for hospitals, surgeons, and patients. While they cause significant physical, financial, and psychological harm to patients and their families, they also heavily burden the involved physicians. This phenomenon, known as the “second victim,” results in negative short and long-term physical, cognitive, and psychological consequences on the surgeon. In this review, we explored the intricate connections between the surgeons' emotional response to adverse events concerning the patient outc...

Reconstructive Strategies in Pediatric Patients after Oncological Chest Wall Resection: A Systematic Review
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2013-3074An appropriate reconstruction strategy after surgical resection of chest wall tumors in children is important to optimize outcomes, but there is no consensus on the ideal approach. The aim of this study was to provide an up-to-date systematic review of the literature for different reconstruction strategies for chest wall defects in patients less than 18 years old. A systematic literature search of the complete available literature was performed and results were analyzed. A total of 22 articles were included in the analysis, which described a total of 130 chest wall reconstructions...

Children with Localized Crohn's Disease Benefit from Early Ileocecal Resection and Perioperative Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Therapy
Conclusion In patients with localized Crohn's disease an ileocecal resection leads to short-term postoperative improvement of disease activity, body mass index, weight, and growth. For relevant catch-up growth an earlier intervention is necessary. Continuous perioperative anti-TNF therapy had no increased risk of perioperative infections.

Perioperative Hypoxemia and Postoperative Respiratory Events in Infants with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
Conclusions IHPS frequently leads to peri- and postoperative hypoxemia or respiratory events and high incidence of difficult tracheal intubations. Preoperative pH, bicarbonate, and chloride were bad predictors of respiratory events.

Conclusion We present the para-U-stitch anoplasty technique, which is an adjunct to the standard anoplasty during PSARP and PSARVUP. In conjunction with standardized pre- and postoperative protocols, this technique can help decrease rates of wound dehiscence in this patient population.

Minimally Invasive versus Open Ureteral Reimplantation in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion MIS is a safe, feasible, and effective surgical procedure in children when compared with OUR. Compared with OUR, MIS has a shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, and less wound infection. Furthermore, MIS is equivalent to OUR in terms of success rate and secondary outcomes such as postoperative UTI, urinary retention, postoperative hematuria, and overall postoperative complications. We conclude that MIS should be considered an acceptable option for pediatric ureteral reimplantation.

Variability in the Reporting of Baseline Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcomes in Esophageal Atresia Publications: A Systematic Review
Conclusion This study demonstrates considerable heterogeneity of studied parameters in EA research, emphasizing the need for standardized reporting to compare results of EA research. Additionally, the identified items may help develop an informed, evidence-based consensus on outcome measurement in esophageal atresia research and standardized data collection in registries or clinical audits, thereby enabling benchmarking and comparing care between centers, regions, and countries.
