Ureteroinguinal Herniation with Consecutive Ureteral Stricture in a 2-Month-Old Infant: Case Report
In conclusion, signs of ureteral obstruction such as hydronephrosis in patients with inguinal herniation may suggest the possibility of an ureteroinguinal hernia. Preoperative diagnostic suspicion is essential.

Intra-amniotic Sildenafil and Rosiglitazone Late in Gestation Ameliorate the Pulmonary Hypertension Phenotype in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Pulmonary hypertension remains difficult to manage in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Prenatal therapy may ameliorate postnatal pulmonary hypertension. We hypothesized that intra-amniotic (IA) injection of either sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, or rosiglitazone, a PPAR- γ agonist, or both late in gestation would decrease the detrimental pulmonary vascular remodeling seen in CDH and improve peripheral pulmonary blood flow.

The CDH Study Group: Past, Present, and Future
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778021The Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group (CDHSG) is an international consortium of medical centers actively collecting and voluntarily contributing data pertaining to live born congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) patients born and/or managed at their institutions. These data are aggregated to construct a comprehensive registry that participating centers can access to address specific clinical inquiries and track patient outcomes. Since its establishment in 1995, 147 centers have taken part in this initiative, including 53 centers from 17 countries outside the United St...

Evaluation of robot-assisted laparoscopic versus conventional laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair in children
In this study, no significant differences were found in terms of gender, age, weight, size of HH, total operation times, the effective operation time (excluding setup time) and complications be tween group 1 and group 2. (P = 0.979,P = 0.438,P = 0.265,P = 0.800,P = 0.122,P = 0.427 andP = 0.478, respectively). However, the intraoperative bleeding, the intensive care unit (ICU) admission, postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS) and postoperative fasting time were significantly less for RALS (P = 0.016,P = 0.040,P = 0.035 andP = 0.025, respectively). Meanwhile, the overall charg...
