Late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a child with gastric perforation and acute pancreatitis
CONCLUSIONS: Late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernias are often misdiagnosed. Clinicians should combine multiple imaging modalities to make a definite diagnosis and perform surgery as soon as possible to avoid severe complications.PMID:37853980 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2022.512 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Efficacy of a modified needle grasper for single-port laparoscopic hernia repair in children: a propensity score-matched analysis
ConclusionsIn this cohort study, the modified needle grasper is a safe and feasible instrument for SLPEC, and SLPEC using the needle grasper has a shorter operation time than TLPEC. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Thoracoscopic Patch Repair of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Can Smaller Incisions Treat Larger Defects?
Thoracoscopic CDH repair is increasingly performed for Type A and small Type B defects that are amenable to primary repair. However, the thoracoscopic approach is controversial for larger defects necessitating a patch due to technical complexity, intraoperative acidosis, and recurrence risk. We aim to compare clinical outcomes between thoracoscopic and open patch repair of Type B/C defects, using a standardized technique. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Medium-Term Outcomes of the Godoy Burnia Repair: Durability of a Sutureless Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair in Girls
Conclusions: Godoy Burnia, a single-incision, sutureless, laparoscopic IHR in girls, is an acceptable alternative surgical technique with a low complication and recurrence rate. The longer follow-up in this study demonstrates the durability of the repair in most age groups, and decreased operative times suggest a favorable learning curve.PMID:37751199 | DOI:10.1089/lap.2023.0266 (Source: Adv Data)

Addition of transfixation suture to purse string suture during intraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair increases peri-hernia sac neck collagen formation
The worldwide accepted repair for indirect inguinal hernia in children is high ligation of the hernia sac with open herniotomy. However, laparoscopic pediatric inguinal hernia repair (IHR) has been gaining popularity in the last two decades. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of different intraperitoneal IHR suture techniques on the collagen formation at the hernia sac neck.

Immediate Versus Delayed Surgical Management of Infant Cryptorchidism with Inguinal Hernia
Cryptorchidism is commonly treated with orchiopexy at 6-12 months of age, often allowing time for undescended testicle(s) (UT) to descend spontaneously. However, when an inguinal hernia (IH) is also present, some surgeons perform orchiopexy and inguinal hernia repair (IHR) immediately rather than delaying surgery. We hypothesize that early surgical intervention provides no benefit for newborns with both IH and UT. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Influences on the timing of pediatric umbilical hernia repair in the era of choosing wisely
In 2019, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Surgery and Choosing Wisely published a statement on “Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question,” which included the recommendation to avoid umbilical hernia repair until patients reach 4 to 5 years of age.1 Early repair of pediatric umbilical hernia has been found to be associated with a higher risk of complications, including recurrenc e.2,3 Early repairs are still commonly performed despite the association with increased risks and health care costs.

General Interest Letter to the Editor on “Laparoscopy is Increasingly Used for Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair”
In 2021, members of our group (MPS, DGS, and RAC) utilized the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database to report a fivefold increase in the use of laparoscopy for pediatric inguinal hernia repair (IHR) over a 10-year period, from 3% of all IHRs in 2009 to 15% of all IHRs in 2018 (1). Anecdotally, laparoscopic IHR has continued to gain popularity since 2018, particularly in infants. Here we provide an update to these previously published data, with specific attention to rates of laparoscopic IHR in different age groups and in infants with a diagnosis of prematurity.
