Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1760837Congenital anomalies, congenital malformations, or birth defects can be defined as any structural or functional anomalies that develop prenatally and could be identified before, at birth, or later in life. Approximately 6% of babies are born with a congenital anomaly, which results in 2.4 million newborn deaths worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis ascertained the quantitative studies published in PubMed, ClinicalKey, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Two authors independently screened and extracted the data from the primary studies that analyz...

Diagnosing Hirschsprung Disease in Children Younger than 6 Months of Age: Insights in Incidence of Complications of Rectal Suction Biopsy and Other Final Diagnoses
Conclusion RSB is a safe procedure with few and only minor complications. In the majority of patients referred for RSB under the age of 6 months, HD was found followed by a functional cause for the defecation problems. RSB should be obtained on a low threshold in all patients under the age of 6 months with the suspicion of HD.

Definition, Documentation, and Classification of Complications in Pediatric Surgical Literature —A Plea for Standardization
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1760835Severity grading systems for complications in surgical patients have been used since 1992. An increasing assessment of these instruments in pediatric surgery is also noticed, without their validation in children. To analyze the current practice, we performed a literature review with focus on the assessment and grading of complications. The review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies reporting on postoperative complications as a primary or secondary endpoint using a severity grading system ...

Classification of Adverse Events in Adult Surgery
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1760821Successful surgery combines quality (achievement of a positive outcome) with safety (avoidance of a negative outcome). Outcome assessment serves the purpose of quality improvement in health care by establishing performance indicators and allowing the identification of performance gaps. Novel surgical quality metric tools (benchmark cutoffs and textbook outcomes) provide procedure-specific ideal surgical outcomes in a subgroup of well-defined low-risk patients, with the aim of setting realistic and best achievable goals for surgeons and centers, as well as supporting unbiased co...

Caudal Block versus Wound Infiltration for Inguinal Procedures in Young Children: A Randomized Clinical Study
Conclusion Both CB and LI result in good postoperative pain control after inguinal procedures in pediatric outpatients. Since LI is less time consuming and has lower risks for complications, we recommend this technique for inguinal procedures in pediatric outpatients. Our findings will need to be confirmed in larger cohorts, but we believe the evidence generated with this study has the potential to positively influence patient care, operating room efficiency, and costs.

Association of Renal Function (Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate) with the Number of Febrile Urinary Tract Infections in Children with Neurogenic Bladder
Conclusion This study showed that recurrent FUTIs are common in children with NB and that the risk of rapid progression to CKD G3 to G5 increases substantially after four or more FUTIs episodes.

Laparoscopic Heller –Dor Is a Persistently Effective Treatment for Achalasia Even in Pediatric Patients: A 25-Year Experience at a Single Tertiary Center
Conclusion LHD is a safe and persistently effective treatment for EA in pediatric age, with a success rate comparable with what is usually obtained in adults, and better than what has been reported to date in the pediatric literature. Adding a fundoplication certainly helps ensure an optimal long-term control of any gastroesophageal reflux induced by the myotomy.

Impact of Social Vulnerability on Long-Term Growth Outcomes in Sutureless Versus Sutured Repair of Gastroschisis
Conclusion Sutureless and sutured gastroschisis repairs result in similar growth and long-term outcomes. Patients living in areas with greater social vulnerability may be at increased risk of poor weight gain. Patients should be followed at least through their first year to ensure appropriate growth.

Preoperative Bladder Capacity Predicts Social Continence following Bladder Neck Reconstruction in Children Born with Exstrophy –Epispadias Complex
Conclusion Young-Dees-Leadbetter bladder neck reconstruction yielded rates of 33% for full continence and 67% for social continence and volitional voiding. These rates are comparable to those of large high-volume centers. A preoperative capacity of 110 mL or more was the sole predictor of social continence.

Ureteral Stent Colonization and Urinary Tract Infection in Children Undergoing Minimally Invasive Pyeloplasty
Conclusion After MIP, febrile UTI and afebrile UTI occurred in about one quarter of patients. Pathogens isolated postsurgically from urinary cultures were unrelated to those colonizing the stents. Therefore, routine stent culturing is of low clinical significance. Moreover, small-caliber stents and longer indwelling periods were not risk factors for UTI. Optimizing antibiotic treatment for children with preoperative UTI may potentially prevent morbidity after surgery.

Prevalence and One-Year Survival of Selected Major Congenital Anomalies in Germany: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusion The survival rate of infants suffering from congenital anomalies in Saxony-Anhalt is comparable to that reported by national and international studies. Registering all pregnancy outcomes irrespective of whether they result in a live birth, stillbirth, or fetal loss in a malformation register seems to be important as it affects the statistical survival analysis in general.
