Reducing Postoperative CT Imaging for Children With Complicated Appendicitis: A Pediatric Surgical Quality Collaborative Quality Improvement Project
Despite widespread initiatives to reduce ionizing radiation for appendicitis diagnosis, computed tomography (CT) scanning postoperatively remains common. The Pediatric Surgery Quality Collaborative (PSQC) aimed to identify differences between children ’s hospitals with high and low postoperative CT usage for complicated appendicitis.

Letter to the Editor in Response to: Management of Pediatric Patients with Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum: A Retrospective Chart Review
In regard to the article “Management of pediatric patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum: A retrospective chart review” by Patel, et al, [1] “spontaneous pneumomediastinum” has traditionally been classified as primary or secondary spontaneous pneumomediastinum (PSP and SSP, respectively). PSP is defined as pneu momediastinum occurring in patients without known underlying lung disease, and secondary, when there is underlying disease or other causes such as trauma. Despite significant advances, its terminology remains unchanged, and has not evolved to greater precision. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Does Delayed Diagnosis of Hirschsprung Disease Impact Post-operative and Functional Outcomes? A Multi-Center Review From the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium
Hirschsprung Disease (HD) is a rare cause of functional bowel obstruction in children. Patients are typically diagnosed in the neonatal period and undergo pull-through (PT) soon after diagnosis. The optimal management and post-operative outcomes of children who present in a delayed fashion are unknown. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Thoracic musculoskeletal deformities following surgical treatment of esophageal atresia - thoracoscopic versus open approach: A retrospective two centers cohort study
Thoracic musculoskeletal deformities are significant complications following open correction of esophageal atresia (EA) during long-term follow-up. We aimed to compare the frequency and severity of thoracic musculoskeletal deformities after open and thoracoscopic repair of EA. We hypothesized that fewer deformities would occur following the less invasive thoracoscopic approach. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Bridging the Knowledge Gap: A Toolkit on Reproductive Rights for Pediatric Surgeons in the Post-Dobbs Era
The ripple effect of the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women ’s Health Organization has impacted physicians and patients across numerous medical specialties. In pediatric surgery, the patient population ranges from fetus to the pregnant patient. There is a gap in the knowledge of pediatric surgeons regarding abortion laws and access. This project aims to br idge the gap by creating access to reliable resources which may be used to optimize patient care and support physicians. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Antenatally Detected Choledochal Malformation: What are we waiting for?
An increasing proportion of congenital choledochal malformation (CCM) are being detected on antenatal ultrasound. However, the actual timing of its surgical correction remains controversial with some series showing an excess of complications the earlier the operation. The aim of this study was to characterize the pathophysiological aspects of this cohort from the perspective of age at surgery in order to inform a more rational basis for clinical decision-making.

Validation of the Clavien-Madadi classification for unexpected events in pediatric surgery: A collaborative ERNICA project
The Clavien-Madadi classification is a novel instrument for the assessment and grading of unexpected events in pediatric surgery, based on the Clavien-Dindo classification. The system has been adjusted to better fit the pediatric population in a prospective single-center study. There is a need now to validate the Clavien-Madadi classification within an international expert network. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Updates from the Other Side of the Drape: Recent Advances in Multimodal Pain Management and Opioid Reduction Among Pediatric Surgical Patients
As the management of acute pain for children undergoing surgical procedures as well as recognition of the short and long term risks of exposure to opioids has evolved, multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches using organized pathways has resulted in improved perioperative outcomes and patient satisfaction. In this 2023 symposium held at the American Academy of Pediatrics on Surgery meeting, a multidisciplinary discussion on current enhanced recovery after surgery pathways, alternate methods of effective pain control and education and advocacy efforts for opioid reduction were discussed, and highlights are included in th...
