Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplant: a critical look at surgical outcomes
Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) has become very popular. Although there are some practical and theoretical advantages to RALUR over open or pure laparoscopic ureteral reimplant, current literature provides mixed results regarding surgical success and complication rates. We provide a critical analysis of the relationship between patient characteristics and several surgical and non-surgical outcomes of a prospective series of 54 children who had RALUR over a 2.5-year period at our institution.

Transumbilical endoscopic technique for complete closure of inguinal hernias in female pediatric patients.
We described a technique used for transumbilical endoscopic closure of pediatric inguinal hernias in girls. This technique is simple and can be performed quickly. The cosmetic result is excellent because the two umbilical incisions are only 5-mm long, which make it possible to perform surgery without a visible scar. We performed this procedure in over 96 patients and have had no recurrences. Thus, this method may become the laparoscopic repair of choice for females with inguinal hernias.

Obstructive bronchitis and recurrent pneumonia in esophageal achalasia in a child: A CARE compliant case report
We describe the late presentation of achalasia in an 11-year old girl. Patient concerns: She suffered from recurrent pneumonia, obstructive bronchitis, and problems with swallowing solid food. Her family noted a wet pillow in the morning. Diagnoses: This case report describes the typical symptoms of achalasia in children in order to facilitate earlier diagnosis of this rare disease. Our patient was admitted to a pediatric hospital for treatment of severe pneumonia, low-grade fever, and pancreatitis. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax showed massive dilation of the esophagus and infiltration and partial ate...

Innovation in Patient Care
This study further builds on previous work started in 2013 where we found that patients were taking far less opioids for pain than had been prescribed. This resulted in standardizing the amount of opioids prescribed in this patient population to five doses. PURPOSE The purpose of the study will be to describe pain control in the pediatric postoperative nonperforated appendectomy population after discharge from the hospital. Our hope is that we can show adequate pain control in this patient population, specifically using nonopioid modalities for pain control including acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Diaphragm Pacers in Pediatric Patients with Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: a Review and Implications for Inpatient Rehabilitation
AbstractPurpose of reviewPediatric spinal cord injury (SCI) at C3 level and above results in tetraplegia and profound respiratory insufficiency requiring long-term positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and is associated with significant complications and morbidity. Diaphragm pacing (DP), a form of functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the diaphragm, provides natural negative pressure breathing which can replace or decrease PPV need. There are numerous reported benefits of DP including improved speech, reduced caregiver burden, and decrease in secretions. The purposes of this paper are to review the limited literature on...

Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in pediatric patients with esophageal achalasia: First Latin-American experience
Achalasia is the most common primary motor disorder of the esophagus, but its incidence in pediatric patients is low. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is the current surgical standard of care treatment. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a safe and effective therapeutic alternative in adult patients. We herein report the outcomes of a cohort of pediatric patients with achalasia treated by POEM at a Chilean medical center.

Incidence and Resolution of De Novo Hydronephrosis after Pediatric Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation for Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux
With the advent of robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) for primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), understanding and minimizing its complications continues to be critical. Incidence of de novo hydronephrosis after RALUR could be indicative of an outcome that needs further study or could be a benign transient finding.

The challenges in diagnosis and gender assignment in disorders of sex development presenting to a pediatric surgical unit in a developing country: The role of laparoscopy and simple tests for gender identity
We aimed to assess how the diagnosis and determination of gender identity of disorders of sex development (DSD) is different in a developing country from Western medicine, and whether a pediatric surgery department can determine the underlying diagnosis and use simple tools to determine the likely gender identity (GI).

Postoperative predictors of early discharge following laparoscopic segmental colectomy
Conclusions In the absence of postoperative ileus or overt complication, patients who do not exhibit a SIRS response, and have a brisk urine output on postoperative day (POD) 1, may be targeted for early hospital discharge after laparoscopic colectomy.

Teleflex updates on Q2 earnings, FDA clearances, acquisitions, deals & study data.
This study, when combined with the 2 earlier independent studies by the same team, shows that using an Arrow CVC with antimicrobial protection from Teleflex makes sense from many perspectives. This study is further evidence that using an unprotected catheter may put both patients and a hospital’s bottom line at unnecessary risk. The Arrow CVC with Arrow+ard Technology has been repeatedly shown to improve patient safety even when the risk of infection is low, and it more than pays for itself in the process,” vascular access division prez Jay White said in a prepared statement. The Arrow catheter also displaye...

Operative wound classification: an inaccurate measure of pediatric surgical morbidity
Wound classification has catapulted to the forefront of surgical literature and quality care discussions. However, it has not been validated in laparoscopy or children. We analyzed pediatric infection rates based on wound classification and reviewed the most common noninfectious complications which could be a more appropriate measure for quality assessment.
