Summary: The aim of this study is to present the long-term outcomes of fetal thoraco amniotic shunt insertion for large congenital lung malformations (CLM). The study retrospectively reviewed fetuses that underwent TAS insertion from January 2000 to December 2020 and analyzed the outcomes of live newborns managed in the center. The results showed a high success rate of TAS insertion and good long-term outcomes, although most infants had a mild degree of chest wall deformity.

Summary: CCAM and BPS are common fetal lung diseases with similar imaging features. They can be differentiated based on the origin and direction of blood vessels, but distinguishing microcystic CCAM and BPS without visible supplying vessels is challenging. MRI may be helpful in these cases.

Summary: Lung organogenesis is a highly coordinated process regulated by a network of signaling pathways, which determine the formation of a functional organ. Abnormalities such as bronchial malformations can affect lung function. This review focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying normal/abnormal lung growth and development and their impact on postnatal survival.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed the initial experiences with pediatric total thoracoscopic segmentectomy (TTS) and evaluated the learning curve. The cumulative summation (CUSUM) of operative time (OT) indicated that at least 79 cases are required for TTS in their institute. It was emphasized that the interpretation of the learning curve should be cautious due to potential institutional factors influencing the exact parabola and actual learning curve.

Summary: CCAM, also known as CPAM, is a developmental lesion of the lungs characterized by pseudocysts and cystically dilated airways. It can be classified into five types based on lesion sizes, and the most common manifestation is respiratory distress. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare complication.

Summary: This study describes and categorizes the atypical systemic vascular anatomy in congenital lung lesions, finding various variants of systemic arterial and venous connection. Classifying the systemic arterial connection and venous drainage of congenital lung lesions as supra-diaphragmatic and infra-diaphragmatic types is important for safe resections.

Summary: This study found that a considerable proportion of asymptomatic patients with congenital lung malformations had hidden infections, which could increase the difficulty and risks of surgery. Therefore, early surgery may be a more appropriate choice for the management of these patients.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of lobectomy and sub-lobar resections in the treatment of congenital pulmonary malformations (CPMs) in adults and pediatrics. The results showed that lobectomy had a significant advantage in preventing symptom recurrence and reducing intraoperative complications.

Summary: This study suggests that chest CT may not accurately and reliably distinguish between PPB and benign congenital lung malformations in children. Operative management is warranted in any cystic lung lesion without a prenatal diagnosis to confirm the pathological diagnosis.

Summary: The study found that children experience more frequent respiratory infections after resection of congenital lung malformations compared to the general population, and the risk of pneumonia persists despite surgery.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of thoracoscopic surgery and open surgery on perioperative outcomes in infants with congenital lung malformations. Results showed that while thoracoscopic lobectomy had longer operative times and used less epidural anesthesia, there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, chest tube duration, or length of stay.

Summary: This study reviewed medical records of CLA patients born between 1999 and 2019, finding that 14% of patients had associated anomalies, most commonly congenital heart defects and gastrointestinal defects. It is recommended to focus on cardiovascular and gastrointestinal examinations for newborns with CLA, and consider chest and abdominal radiographs to assess signs of associated anomalies.

Summary: Bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPSs) are rare congenital anomalies characterized by non-functioning embryonic lung tissue receiving anomalous blood supply. Intradiaphragmatic extralobar BPs (IDEPS) represent an exceptionally rare finding and pose a diagnostic and operative challenge. Surgical management of IDEPS requires complex planning and a thoracoscopic-laparoscopic approach provides optimal vessel control.

Summary: A comparison study between laparoscopic inguinal herniotomy and open herniotomy showed similar age and gender distribution between the two groups. The laparoscopic repair group had more premature, emergency surgery, and redo surgery patients, yet with a lower recurrence rate than the open surgery group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the proportion of children requiring long-term ventilation via tracheostomy who also underwent gastrostomy insertion. The results showed that the majority of these children required enteral tube feeding via gastrostomy.
