Premalignant/malignant histology in excised choledochal cyst specimens from children. Experience and literature review
ConclusionsThe present study identified the youngest cases of AIS and dysplasia from specimens excised when they were 3 years old and 4 months old, respectively. Both are published for the first time as evidence that PMMH can complicate CC in young patients. Long-term protocolized postoperative follow-up is mandatory when PMMH is diagnosed in pediatric CC.

The “cut and push” method of removing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube is not safe in paediatric patients
ConclusionOur study reports more severe complications that required complex surgical interventions compared to the previous studies. We believe that this method of removal is not safe in children and should be abandoned. Also, patients with Down syndrome might be at higher risk of retention and complications.

Risk factors for and developmental relation of delayed oral nutrition in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
ConclusionIn patients with CDH, a large defect and ventilatory management over 9 days are independent risk factors for delayed oral nutrition, which is a potent predictor of developmental delay that requires active developmental care. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Comparison of robotic assistance and laparoscopy for pediatric choledochal cyst: advantages of robotic assistance
ConclusionDissection and recovery were faster with Rob while overcoming Lap-associated shortcomings to prevent complications associated with suturing. Both CE and HJA were safer and more reliable with Rob, a reflection of Rob ’s superiority. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Characterization of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia model in C57BL/6J fetal mice: a step toward lineage tracing experiments
ConclusionModeling CDH in C57BL/6J mouse fetuses is effective in reproducing the classical CDH hallmarks. This model will be critical for lineage tracing experiments. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

The impact of the recipient intestinal site on the differentiation of transplanted enteric neural crest cells
ConclusionOur study highlights the differences in ENCC differentiation depending on the site of transplantation. To further develop cell therapy for HD, it is important to consider the impact of the recipient intestinal environment on transplanted ENCCs. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)
