Thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary lesions in Israel: The mentorship approach
Conclusions: Thoracoscopic lobectomy is a technically demanding procedure with a long learning curve, strongly related to the low volume of cases. The role of a mentorship program in acquiring those surgical skills is crucial through standardization of the technique applied and supervised by the mentor. Early thoracoscopy for congenital pulmonary lesions at an early age can be achieved with a low conversion rate and minimal complications creating a change in the paradigm of practice when considering surgery for CPAM in Israel.

Bibliometric analysis and visualization of the extrahepatic portal venous obstruction publication landscape
Conclusion: EHPVO research publication volume is low but is gradually progressing with dominant contributions from Indian institutes and authors. Most highly cited articles are of low level of evidence, and multi-institutional collaborative research can be the way forward. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Pattern of preoperative uroflowmetry in hypospadias patients and age-matched control patients
Conclusion: Children with hypospadias have abnormal uroflowmetry even before surgical correction and have a significantly low maximum urine flow rate. These uroflow anomalies may be due to meatal stenosis or hypoplastic proximal urethra. We postulate that these preoperative abnormal uroflow patterns in patients with hypospadias may contribute to voiding difficulties in repaired hypospadias cases. A greater understanding of the factors behind these uroflowmetric anomalies may allow surgeons to proactively tackle these intraoperatively, leading to better outcomes for patients with hypospadias.

Allaying pediatric preoperative anxiety, where are we now ? & #8211; A nationwide survey
Conclusion: Only 37% of the surveyed anesthesiologists consistently used some form of PA-relieving strategy and the practice varied widely. Further improvement and team approach involving anesthesiologists, surgeons, and nurses is required to ensure the quality of pediatric PA-relieving services and establish it as a standard of care.

Comparison of high spermatic vessel ligation and low spermatic vessel ligation in an undescended model of rat testis
Conclusions: Both immediate and long-term changes following LSVL showed an increase in blood flow to the testis after ligation through collaterals and reverses early ischemic changes to the testis. Given the higher testicular atrophic rate after HSVL, LSVL or at least low ligation can be preferred for the management of high intra-abdominal UDT.

Quality-of-life assessment among children with esophageal achalasia
Conclusion: Even when managed by interdisciplinary teams of professionals, managing esophageal achalasia in specialized institutions is still a subject of debate. Early pediatric diagnosis is best achieved with routine physiological function tests and HREM. Moreover, more research is required to assess long-term Quality of Life. Standardized lifelong follow-up and qualified resources, both human and technological, are required to improve postoperative outcomes. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Type VI choledochal cyst & #8211; An emerging rare entity (11th pediatric case of type VI) with a review of literature
We report this rare CC, Type VI seen in our experience for the first time. We have also reviewed the literature; only 26 cases of Type VI were found, including adults and children, ever since the first case has been reported in 1991. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 11th pediatric case report of a Type VI choledochal cyst. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Radiological investigations revealed an encapsulated sac encasing three fetus-in-fetu (FIF) in the retroperitoneum. Laparotomy revealed a sac occupying almost the whole of the abdomen. The sac was stretching the duodenum and barely visible common bile duct, which were carefully separated. The rest of the bowel was displaced to the left. The sac containing three FIFs was excised intact. One o...
