Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in management of neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida
Conclusions: The application of TENS in NB secondary to SB is effective and its application led to improvement in symptoms, decrease in the wet episodes/day, maximum detrusor pressure, instability, bladder compliance, and capacity. TENS therapy in combination with anticholinergic agents had a better outcome as compared to monotherapy with either of the two modalities.

Black ovary: Our experience with oophoropexy in all cases of pediatric ovarian torsion and review of relevant literature
Conclusion: Detorsion and oophoropexy should be the procedure of choice in pediatric patients with ovarian torsion. The gross appearance of the ovary after detorsion should not be the sole determinant for oophorectomy. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Evaluation of the outcome of pyeloplasty in children with poorly functioning kidneys due to unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction
Conclusion: Upfront pyeloplasty should be the first option in children with poorly functioning kidneys as it has a favorable outcome in almost all the cases with a very low incidence of complications. The degree of improvement in SRF can be predicted by the nephrostomy output and improvement in PT on US. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Correlation of urinary biomarkers (Interleukin-6, Transforming growth factor- & #946;, E-Cadherin, and MCP-1) with conventional parameters of disease progression in patients of posterior urethral valves: A comparative analysis
Conclusion: This study concludes that E-Cadherin, IL-6, TGF-β can be promising urinary biomarkers for early detection of the ongoing renal damage in patients of PUV following valve fulguration. MCP-1 may have more complex interactions, with inflammatory markers; which warrants further research. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Correlation of plasma renin activity values and resistive index on ultrasound doppler with findings of renal dynamic scan in patients with the society of fetal ultrasound grades 3 and 4 unilateral hydronephrosis
Conclusion: No significant correlation could be demonstrated between SRF and the respective values of PRA and RI. However, PRA could act as an adjunct to predict the early success of pyeloplasty in view of good concordance with RDS. A larger trial with bigger cohort of patients is required to confirm our contention. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Focus of pediatric surgical reports during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: A narrative review
Conclusions: The pandemic brought significant changes in surgical care. As expected, there was a reduction in elective surgeries, RT-PCR-positive children did not present worse postoperative outcomes than negative ones but there is still a paucity of data regarding COVID-19 children, and telemedicine may play an important role in health care, especially in times of social distancing.
