Introduction of pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in Guatemala
CONCLUSION: Under controlled circumstances with limited but proper equipment and disposables, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs can be introduced and performed in a developing country with a risk complication profile comparable to that in developed countries. This study provides promising evidence of laparoscopic repair feasibility and safety where surgical resources are limited.PMID:38012603 | DOI:10.1186/s12893-023-02262-6 (Source: Pain Physician)

Laparoscopic-Assisted Scrotal Approach for the Treatment of Inguinal Cryptorchidism with Patent Processus Vaginalis: Clinical Efficacy Analysis
Conclusion: The laparoscopic-assisted scrotal incision approach for testicular descent and fixation offers precise localization of cryptorchidism, reduced surgical trauma, shorter postoperative recovery time, and results in smaller scars with minimal tissue damage. The procedure showcases enhanced overall clinical effectiveness, fewer postoperative complications, heightened safety, and superior cosmetic outcomes.PMID:38010263 | DOI:10.1089/lap.2023.0361 (Source: Adv Data)

Introduction of pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in Guatemala
Introducing new surgical techniques in a developing country can be challenging. Inguinal hernias in children are a common surgical problem, and open repair is the standard surgical approach. Laparoscopic repai... (Source: BMC Surgery)

Diaphragmatic hernia repair porcine model to compare the performance of biodegradable membranes against Gore-Tex ®
ConclusionGore-Tex® was associated with a higher survival rate and lower recurrence. Nevertheless, the proposed biodegradable membranes were associated with better tissue integration when compared with Gore-Tex®. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Patent processus vaginalis: role of ultrasound in pediatric population with unilateral inguinal hernia and other predictors
ConclusionsUltrasound has a high accuracy profile and is a useful alternative in limited resource settings with restricted access to minimally invasive surgery for the prediction of CPPV. Patients younger than 1 year with a right-sided hernia or a manifested hernia defect larger than 10 mm are at a higher risk of having a CPPV. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

The etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: the retinoid hypothesis 20 years later
Pediatr Res. 2023 Nov 21. doi: 10.1038/s41390-023-02905-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect and a major cause of neonatal respiratory distress. Impacting ~2-3 in 10,000 births, CDH is associated with a high mortality rate, and long-term morbidity in survivors. Despite the significant impact of CDH, its etiology remains incompletely understood. In 2003, Greer et al. proposed the Retinoid Hypothesis, stating that the underlying cause of abnormal diaphragm development in CDH was related to altered retinoid signaling. In this review, we provide a comprehensive update ...

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)
