Summary: Hydrocolonic sonography showed high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing HD.
Luminal diameter ratio was the best parameter.
Hydrocolonic sonography may be an alternative screening method for HD in children with constipation.

Summary: The study aims to compare laparoscopic-assisted reoperative surgery with transabdominal pull-through surgery in patients with Hirschsprung's disease and overflow fecal incontinence. Laparoscopic-assisted reoperation showed shorter operation time, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and lower post-operative complications compared to transabdominal pull-through surgery.

Summary: The laparoscopic complete excision of the posterior muscular cuff method for HSCR is safer and more effective than the laparoscopic stepwise gradient cutting muscular cuff procedure, leading to a decrease in the incidence of enterocolitis, although it may increase the number of soiling incidents in the short period post-surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the Versius(R) robotic surgical system in simulating small body cavities. The results showed that the system was able to successfully perform various procedures, with the procedure time and instrument collisions increasing as the volume decreased. This suggests the increasing complexity of procedures in small cavities. The study concluded that the system can be used for robotic reconstructive procedures in cavities as small as 106 mL, but further evaluation is needed before its application in children.

Summary: Neuroblastoma is the most common soft tissue malignancy in children, and surgery is a crucial component of treatment aiming for local control of the disease while preserving surrounding structures. There is no consensus on the best surgical technique, with approaches varying based on anatomical location and mass extension.

Summary: Complications of surgery for Hirschsprung's disease include general complications of abdominal surgery and specific complications such as obstruction. We report a case of a 4-month-old baby with Hirschsprung's disease who developed postoperative constipation due to unusual folding of the muscular cuff, which narrowed the colon. Laparoscopic surgery was performed to confirm the diagnosis and visualize the rectal cuff.

Summary: Colonoscopy is a safe, accurate, and timely examination for postoperative lower gastrointestinal bleeding in children with Hirschsprung's Disease. It helps diagnose the causes of hematochezia and provides accurate treatment options. All patients had uneventful recovery during the follow-up period, demonstrating the efficacy of colonoscopy in this subset of patients.

Summary: This study provides evidence that surgical debulking is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with symptomatic polycystic liver disease (PCLD). The study also suggests that patients undergoing hepatectomy for PCLD can tolerate significant liver volume reduction without impaired hepatic function.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of single-port laparoscopy (SPL) compared to conventional laparoscopy (CL) in treating benign gynecologic adnexal lesions. The results indicate that SPL has lower post-operative pain after 2, 24, and 48 hours compared to CL.

Summary: Jejunoileal atresia (JIA) is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates, but cases of concomitant ileal atresia and Hirschsprung disease (HD) are rare. This report describes a case of a male infant with JIA and HD who underwent multiple surgeries and ultimately died due to multiple organ failure. The unique finding in this case was the association of ileal atresia with colonic aganglionosis, central hypothyroidism, and persistent bacteremia.

Summary: Machine learning models can accurately predict operative mortality risk in cardiac surgeries without established risk scores. This study highlights the importance of using local institutional data to train prediction models that account for institution-specific practices.

Summary: LacrimaSurg, developed by Abreu et al., is an effective device for preventing fogging and residue buildup on surgical optics, with a 98.1% efficiency in experimental studies. The pilot study on its feasibility and safety in real surgical conditions showed that the device allowed 97% of procedures to be performed without interruption and did not lead to postoperative complications.

Summary: A simple predictive model has been developed and validated for pre-operative diagnosis of adnexal torsion (AT) based on three parameters. This model can assist clinicians in evaluating patients with suspected AT and improve pre-operative diagnosis.

Summary: The objective of this study was to determine the main surgical factors associated with postoperative pain in patients undergoing adnexectomy. The study found that fascia closure and increased surgical time were significant factors associated with immediate postoperative pain and the need for strong opioid consumption. Therefore, surgical training should be emphasized to reduce surgical time and opioid consumption.

Summary: The systematic review focused on post-operative anorectal manometry in children with Hirschsprung disease, revealing a lack of high-quality evidence and consistency in reported outcomes. Standardization of protocols, cohort reporting, and outcome assessments are essential for future research in this area.
