Is an antireflux procedure necessary for a successful appendicostomy ? The simplified Malone antegrade continence enema procedure
Conclusion: The SMACE procedure, without incorporating an antireflux mechanism, is technically simpler and saves operative time. Most importantly, the results are satisfactory and comparable with procedures using antireflux techniques. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Voiding pressures in boys: Pdetmax versus pdetQmax & #8211; Does it make a difference ?
Conclusion: Existing literature on pediatric voiding studies mentions voiding pressures during variable phases of void (usually Pdetmax) and the values have been very heterogeneous, making voiding pressure-flow studies unreliable in children. PdetQmax values are much lower than values quoted as “standard” pressures and are age independent. The use of PdetQmax instead of PdetMax may make voiding pressures in children more reproducible and informative. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

A cost-effectiveness model comparing urinary biomarkers with diuretic renogram in diagnosing ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children
Conclusions: Individual urine biomarkers are currently less expensive and less effective compared to DR in predicting UPJO. In future, biomarker panel is likely to be more cost-effective and reduce the need for invasive renogram thus reducing the radiation exposure.

Delayed presentation of malrotation: Case series and literature review
Conclusion: Malrotation beyond infancy is a rare diagnosis. Malrotation in older children is usually not suspected because of the wide range of symptoms. A high index of suspicion on ultrasound or computed tomography is required to demonstrate the reversal of superior mesenteric artery and superior mesenteric vein position and related conditions. Early intervention and treatment can prevent catastrophic events such as intestinal volvulus and intestinal ischemia in these patients. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Total glans amputation in a child following ritual circumcision & #8211; Report of a case and review of literature
We report the case of a 1½-year-old boy who underwent a progressive amputation of the glans after a ritual circumcision by a religious worker. The child was brought 10 days after the procedure with totally amputated, nonsalvageable glans. A urethral meatoplasty was performed to enable proper voiding and prevent meatal stenosis. The child has been in follow-up for the past 6 months without any urinary symptoms. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Mucocele arising from the submandibular gland presenting as neck swelling: A rare case report
Probal Chatterji, Rajul Rastogi, Akshay Jain, Somya Choudhary, Nitanshi JainJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(3):253-255 Mucoceles rarely involve major salivary glands. Very few cases involving the submandibular gland have been reported to date. A young male child presented with diffuse, soft, and painless swelling of the left submandibular region. Investigations suggested mucocele of the submandibular salivary gland. The mucocele was excised along with the left submandibular gland. Recovery was uneventful.

Small bowel intussusception due to solitary Peutz & #8211;Jeghers Jejunal polyp: A rare entity
We present this case of a 12-year-old female who presented with jejunojejunal intussusception and on exploration revealed a polypoidal mass around 50 cm from duodenojejunal flexure acting as a lead point. A segmental jejunal resection with anastomosis was performed and histopathology confirmed a solitary Peutz–Jeghers (PJ) hamartomatous polyp. She neither had mucocutaneous pigmentation nor family history of PJS or any other polyps anywhere in the gut on further evaluation by endoscopies. A solitary PJ polyp in the jejunum is a rare entity, and to the best of our knowledge, only around 13 cases have been report...
