Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a novel surgical technique in thyroid surgery that provides a feasible opportunity to avoid a visible neck scar. In recent years, TOETVA became popular in the thyroid surgery of selected adult patients with cosmetic concerns. We conducted a right lobectomy with the TOETVA technique in a 17-year-old adolescent with a suspicious thyroid nodule the present report aimed to describe the details of the operative technique step by step.

Acquiring the technical skills required for thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is challenging. A high-fidelity 3D-printed pediatric thoracoscopic EA/TEF simulator has been developed to address this issue. This study explored motion-tracking as an assessment tool to distinguish between surgeons of different expertise using the simulator.

Our study examines if the disease severity profile of our Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) patient cohort adherent to long-term follow-up differs from patients lost to follow-up after discharge and examines factors associated with health care utilization.

Mashup Score: 23Modified laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in children: Does subcutaneous suture type matter? - 9 day(s) ago
Laparoscopic gastrostomy tube (GT) placement is one of the most common procedures performed by pediatric surgeons. Several operative techniques are used for placement, and many utilize transabdominal tacking sutures to retract and stabilize the stomach during gastrotomy and tube insertion. The “modified” laparoscopic approach is a technique that employs such sutures and subcutaneously tunnels them in place, anchoring the stomach to the abdominal wall in the event of early dislodgement and need for GT replacement (Fig. 1) [1–5].

Mashup Score: 17Minimally invasive repair of asymmetric pectus excavatum: An alternative technique to treating asymmetric morphology - 13 day(s) ago
Pectus Excavatum (PE) is the most common congenital anterior chest wall deformity, characterized by a depression of the sternum and costal cartilages. PE has an incidence ranging from 0.62 to 12.7 per 1000 [1]. About 60% of patients present with symmetric pectus excavatum and remaining 40% as asymmetric PE [10]. While the abnormality can be apparent at birth, it often progresses and becomes more noticeable starting from the age of one to the onset of puberty. With the growth of the patients, many patients with initial symmetric PE become right asymmetric in appearance as the position of the heart left shift over time [3].

We are very excited for the Letter to the Editor sent by Bruna Aliotto Nalin Tedesco and colleagues from Botucatu Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil [1]. First of all, we would like to thank the authors for their positive feedback on our recently published study describing the utilization of the vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy following posterior sagittal anorectalplasty (PSARP) [2]. Indeed, we showed that the use of VAC embedded in a perioperative treatment protocol (preoperative bowel preparation, +/- loperamide, intravenous antibiotics, and total parenteral nutrition) has a potential to prevent wound dehiscence of the neoanus and reconstructed perineal body after PSARP.

Robotic-assisted vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in adolescent patients has been shown to have comparable outcomes to laparoscopic VSG. Recent data suggests that metabolic and bariatric surgery (performed using robotic and laparoscopic techniques) in patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 have a higher risk of adverse events compared to those with BMI < 50 kg/m2. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of robotic-assisted VSG in adolescents with a BMI above and below 50 kg/m2.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder of the colonic mucosa that starts in the rectum, and generally extends proximally through the colon [1]. An estimated 20% of all patients with UC are diagnosed during childhood (< 18 years), with an incidence between 1 and 4 cases per 100,000/year. UC generally presents more severe in the pediatric population [2,3]. Medical management is typically first line therapy, however childhood-onset UC is less responsive to steroids compared to adult-onset UC [2].
