Summary: An online survey conducted among International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) members revealed that the majority of pediatric surgeons use Single-Incision-Pediatric-Endoscopic-Surgery (SIPES) for lower complexity cases, such as appendectomy, mainly for cosmetic reasons. Despite the better cosmesis, 70% of respondents believe that there is a lack of convincing scientific evidence for the benefits of SIPES. Further studies and discussions on this technique are needed.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 1469 cases of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) performed at Osaka Police Hospital from May 2009 to December 2020. The results showed that the median operative time and blood loss of SILC were 96 minutes and 0 mL, respectively. Intraoperative complications included common bile duct injury and right hepatic artery injury, with no other organ injury observed. Postoperative complications and incisional hernias occurred in a small percentage of patients. The study concluded that SILC can be performed safely without an increase in complications.

Summary: The study found no significant change in the role of surgeons in neuroblastoma treatment over the past decade, but there was a decrease in open surgeries for extra-adrenal neuroblastomas and a narrowing of the time interval to surgery.

Summary: The treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax remains controversial. Predicting recurrence based on the size of pneumothorax at presentation is helpful. There are no differences in duration of drainage or hospitalization period between pigtail catheter and chest tube use. CT is useful in evaluating lung findings in recurrent cases, and surgery effectively prevents recurrences.

Summary: The study found deficiencies in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric urinary tract infections in outpatient settings, such as underutilization of narrow-spectrum antibiotics and failure to discontinue antibiotics in cases with negative urine cultures. Therefore, antibiotic stewardship could be beneficial in reducing unnecessary antibiotic exposure in the management of pediatric UTIs.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent customized and custom tracheostomies between January 2011 and July 2021 at our institution. The most common indications for customized tracheostomy were tracheal or stomal breakdown (33%) and ventilation difficulties (27%). The most frequent customization was shaft length (57%). Custom tracheostomies were primarily used for persistent air leaks (9%) and often involved custom cuffs, flanges, and anteriorly curved shafts. Patients with customized tracheostomies had a higher 5-year overall survival rate (75.3%) compared to custom tracheostomies (51.4%).

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed patients with uncomplicated appendicitis who underwent SILA from 2011 to 2020. The results showed that SILA had shorter operative time compared to CLA, without significant differences in length of stay, complication rate, and readmission rate.

Summary: This study outlines the learning phases of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer and compares the surgical and clinical outcomes with conventional laparoscopic surgery. The results show that robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has better outcomes in terms of surgical duration, hospital stay, and blood loss compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery.
