Management of pediatric patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum: A retrospective chart review
Given the paucity of data on pediatric spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM), management is largely informed by extrapolation from adult studies or personal clinical experience, resulting in significant heterogeneity. The purpose of this study was to describe how pediatric patients with SPM are clinically managed at our institution and propose a treatment algorithm. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Impact of surgical timing (primary, delayed, or second look) on surgical morbidity and outcomes in Malignant Germ Cell Tumor of the Ovary in children
This study aimed to analyze the impact of primary and delayed surgery on surgical morbidity and outcomes. Second-look surgery after inadequate surgical staging and the various components of surgical staging were also evaluated. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

One-year results of minimally invasive sutured fixation of the slipped ribs in the pediatric population
Costal cartilage resection with or without rib resection is the gold standard surgery for slipping rib syndrome. Minimally invasive restoration of normal anatomy via nonabsorbable sutures has been described in the adult population with encouraging results. We sought to assess the efficacy of minimally invasive sutured fixation of the hypermobile rib in the pediatric population. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Antenatal administration of extracellular vesicles derived from amniotic fluid stem cells improves lung function in neonatal rats with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The severity of pulmonary hypoplasia is a main determinant of outcome for babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Antenatal administration of extracellular vesicles derived from amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC-EVs) has been shown to rescue morphological features of lung development in the rat nitrofen model of CDH. Herein, we evaluated whether AFSC-EV administration to fetal rats with CDH is associated with neonatal improvement in lung function. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Proliferative Effects of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Neuroblastoma Cell Lines: Are They Tumor Promoting or Tumor Inhibiting?
Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric malignancy with poor survival for high-risk disease. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have innate tumor-homing properties, enabling them to serve as a cellular delivery vehicle, but MSCs have demonstrated variable effects on tumor growth. We compared how placental MSCs (PMSCs) and bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) affect proliferation of neuroblastoma (NB) cells in vitro. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Ovarian tissue collection for fertility preservation in children: The need for standardised surgical practice guidance
Chemotherapy, pelvic radiotherapy (including total body irradiation) and novel compounds used to treat children and teenagers with benign or malignant diseases can lead to impaired fertility. For prepubertal female patients at high risk of treatment-related infertility, upfront storage of ovarian tissue is increasingly being recognised as standard of care. No surgical guidelines exist to ensure best practice technique. We reviewed current UK practice to assess surgical management. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Systematic Lymphatic Repair for Reduction of Postoperative Lymphatic Leak Following Neuroblastoma Resection
Gross total resection of neuroblastoma is associated with lymphatic leaks that can delay postoperative resumption of treatment. To prevent postoperative lymphatic leak, we introduced systematic lymphatic repair (SLR), which involved oversewing the entire edge of the disrupted lymphatic plane after neuroblastoma resection. We sought to study the impact of SLR on postoperative lymphatic leak and time to return to treatment. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)
