An unusual case of type a posterior cloaca associated with 46xx disorder of sexual differentiation with y duplication of urethra
We report an infant reared as a girl who presented with ambiguous genitalia and urine coming per rectum. On examination, she had minimal clitoromegaly with labial fusion and Y urethral duplication. On investigations, genetic, metabolic, and endocrine causes for disorder of sexual differentiation were ruled out. This girl was operated via a posterior sagittal approach. This case was unique in that the urogenital sinus was deviated posteriorly and opened in the anterior rectal wall and the accessory urethra opened in clitoris, along with ambiguity of external genitalia, thus making it a rare variant of the posterior cloaca. ...

Triple diversion technique in complete duodenal transaction following blunt trauma abdomen: A time-tested method in a very rare injury
Shishir Kumar, Shasanka Shekhar Panda, Sujoy Neogi, Simmi K Ratan, Ashish KumarJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2022 27(2):245-247 Duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma is extremely rare in children and many times, it has delayed presentation, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. A patient with complete duodenal transaction is a surgical challenge and management involves the time of presentation and extent of visceral damage. A 10-year-old boy was brought with features of bowel perforation after road traffic accident and underwent emergency laparotomy which revealed complete transact...

Serum matrix metalloproteinase 7 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for extrahepatic biliary atresia
Conclusions: MMP-7 has a diagnostic value in differentiating EHBA from NH and may also be used as a prognostic biomarker in the follow-up of these patients. MMP-7 levels in controls may be used as a baseline for future studies. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Early feeding versus traditional feeding in children with ileostomy closure
Conclusions: This comparison between early oral feeding and traditional oral feeding suggests that various benefits exist when enteral nutrition is initiated early after ileostomy closure in pediatric patients. The benefits and importance of initiating early oral feeding in adults have been reported, but there are few studies on pediatric populations (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Does early upper tract diversion and delayed undiversion in megaureters secondary to severe posterior urethral valves lead to better renal outcomes ?
Conclusions: In severe PUVs, early PDRU with delayed undiversion is a reliable surgical option that may ensure better renal outcomes in the long-term. Nonrefluxing renal units recover better than the refluxing. APD measurements also are shown to improve favorably. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Ethics on the learning curve
Sanjay RaoJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2022 27(2):191-195 Advances in surgical techniques and technologies require surgeons to constantly retrain and adopt these into their practices. Until the surgeon gains proficiency in the new technique, he is said to be on the learning curve. During this time, the patient is at higher risk of adverse outcomes. This poses significant ethical challenges. Several factors impact the surgeon's decision-making and ability to obtain a truly informed consent. These factors include personal bias – both the surgeons and the patients, absence of hi...

Correlation of the position of the anal dimple with the caudal termination of the striated muscle complex in patients with anorectal malformations
Conclusions: In the majority of cases AD and SMC were 'well developed' and the location of the SMC does not correlate with that of the AD. This has significant practical value in the important step of optimizing the placement of the rectum through the center of the SMC during repair.

Reverse gastric tube esophagoplasty with and without lower esophageal stump wrap & #8211; Comparison of outcome
Conclusion: We have described a novel method of using the LE as a “fundoplication” wrap following RGTE. Vagi should be preserved. Those with complete esophageal wrap may develop dysphagia to solids and this is, therefore, not recommended. Lower esophageal wrap patients appeared to have a better outcome in terms of growth and less reflux. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)
