Nationwide Long-Term Growth and Developmental Outcomes of Infants for Congenital Anomalies in the Digestive System and Abdominal Wall Defects With Surgery in Korea
CONCLUSION: Infants with congenital anomalies of the digestive system and abdominal wall defects exhibit poor growth and developmental outcomes until 72 months of age. Close monitoring and careful consideration of their growth and development after discharge are required.PMID:38111278 | PMC:PMC10727918 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e372 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Autonomous and non-cell autonomous role of cilia in structural birth defects in mice
by Richard J. B. Francis, Jovenal T. San Agustin, Heather L. Szabo Rogers, Cheng Cui, Julie A. Jonassen, Thibaut Eguether, John A. Follit, Cecilia W. Lo, Gregory J. Pazour Ciliopathies are associated with wide spectrum of structural birth defects (SBDs), indicating important roles for cilia in development. Here, we provide novel insights into the temporospatial requirement for cilia in SBDs arising from deficiency inIft140, an intraflagellar transport (IFT) protein regulating ciliogenesis.Ift140-deficient mice exhibit cilia defects accompanied by wide spectrum of SBDs including macrostomia (craniofacial defects), exenceph...

Anastomotic time was associated with postoperative complications: a cumulative sum analysis of thoracoscopic repair of tracheoesophageal fistula in a single surgeon ’s experience
ConclusionsThoracoscopic repair of TEF is considered safe and feasible after 13 cases, where the surgeon can improve their proficiency with the total operation procedure, and 17 cases, which will enable the surgeon to achieve proficiency in anastomosis. Postoperative complications significantly decreased after gaining familiarity with the anastomosis procedure through the learning phase. (Source: Surgery Today)

Long ‐term outcome following successful endoscopic closure of tracheo‐oesophageal fistulas with two cardiac amplatzer septal occluders in a patient with oesophageal cancer
We report a case of successful closure of two adjacent TEFs with two partially overlapping cardiac amplatzer occluder devices. The insertion of a 12 mm and a 9 mm device was successful and without complications. The patient tolerated the cardiac amplatzer-devices well and could resume oral food uptake after 2 months. Two years after closure, the patient remained free of symptoms suggesting complete sealing of the fistulas. AbstractAcquired tracheo-oesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are rare and challenging complications in the course of oesophageal cancer. While surgery is the only curative treatment option for TEFs many pat...

A case of antenatally undiagnosed laryngeal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula with airway obstruction at birth and its management
Paediatr Anaesth. 2023 Nov 15. doi: 10.1111/pan.14794. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaryngeal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually diagnosed by antenatal ultrasound, however, if undiagnosed presents with desaturation after birth. A term neonate presented with airway obstruction after birth with multiple failed attempts at intubation and was rescued by proseal laryngeal mask airway (LMA). An esophagoscopy using an Ambuscope utilizing a modified connector assembly revealed an opening on the anterior wall of the esophagus with no esophageal atresia, leading to a diagnosis of H-type tracheo-esophageal fistula ...
