The Cross-Bar Technique for Pectus Excavatum Repair: A Key Element for Remodeling of the Entire Chest Wall
Conclusion The cross-bar technique is as safe and effective as the parallel-bar technique, even though it was selected to correct more complexities. The cross-bar technique could be a method for complex PE deformities for remodeling of the entire chest wall.

Perinatal Testicular Torsion in Northern Ireland: A Nationwide 10-Year Review
Conclusion This is the first nationwide population-based study to calculate more accurately the incidence of PTT, and bilateral synchronous and asynchronous bilateral PTTs, all of which seem to be significantly higher than previously estimated. However, in keeping with previous reports, this study confirms the poor salvage rate of testes undergoing perinatal torsion, and suboptimal concordance between preoperative USS findings and intraoperative diagnosis.

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Cryoanalgesia for Pectus Excavatum: When Should It be Applied?
Conclusion PCr48 and PCr24 prior to PE surgery offers lower opioid consumption, less pain and shorter hospital stay than PCrSD. PCr24 is comparable to PCr48, but seems to show advantages and simpler logistics for the patient and the hospital.

Elective Delivery versus Expectant Management for Gastroschisis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion Based on the data analyzed, near-term elective delivery (GA 36–37 weeks) appears to be the optimal timing for delivery of pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis as it is associated with less bowel morbidity and shorter TPN days. However, more RCTs are necessary to better validate these findings.

Learning of Intracorporal Knot Tying in Minimally Invasive Surgery by Video or Expert Instruction
Conclusion For the laparoscopically inexperienced, training in ICKT through expert instruction presents an advantage compared with video-based self-study in the form of faster understanding of the procedure and the associated consistent implementation of good knot quality. Both teaching methods significantly improved participants' ICKT skills.

Associations of Mucosal Nerve Fiber Innervation Density with Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis: A Retrospective Three-Center Cohort Study
Conclusion Here, we showed that HSCR patients with a low mucosal nerve fiber innervation grade in the distal aganglionic colon have a higher risk of developing HAEC. Consequently, histopathologic analysis of the nerve fiber innervation grade could serve as a novel sensitive prognostic marker associated with the development of enterocolitis in HSCR patients.

Associations of Mucosal Nerve Fiber Innervation Density with Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis - A retrospective three center cohort study
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1889-6355Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital intestinal neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the absence of enteric ganglion cells in the distal colon. Although Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is the most frequent life-threatening complication in HSCR, to date reliable biomarkers predicting the likelihood of HAEC are yet to be established. We established a three-center retrospective study including 104 HSCR patients surgically treated between 1998–2019. Patient-derived cryo- or paraffin-preserved colonic tissue at surgery was analyzed via beta III tubulin imm...
