Patients with Disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) are at risk of various malignancies, predominantly, germ cell gonadal tumors, but also non-germ cell gonadal tumors and extra gonadal tumors. The risk differs according to the type of DSD, being the highest in patients with Y chromosome and gonadal dysgenesis. The risk also increases with age....

Glutaraldehyde is used in the hospital setup for high-level disinfection of heat-sensitive instruments like endoscopes, bronchoscopes, and arthroscopes. Notwithstanding the occupational hazards, glutaraldehyde is still being used in the third-world countries to facilitate rapid turnover in between cases. The adverse effects of glutaraldehyde spill...

Aim: In addition to the well-known toxicities of treatment, survivors of pediatric solid tumors can also develop other health-related conditions. They may either be an indirect consequence of therapy or could be unrelated to their prior history of malignancy. We aim to evaluate the nontoxicity related health conditions in survivors of pediatric sol...

Stomal prolapse is one of the most common complications of enterostoma. Stoma if persistent and significant often requires revision of stoma. The techniques described often require laparotomy with resection or internal fixation of the bowel. Such procedures may make further laparotomy more difficult. We herein describe the use of a relatively simpl...

Aims: The conventional Seldinger and trocar techniques of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) have inherent limitations in infants and younger children. We studied the role of a novel coaxial technique of PCN in children under the age of 5 years in comparison to the conventional techniques. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center feasibility tri...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of single-stage transvestibular and Foley’s assisted epispadias repair (STAFER) technique in girls with incontinent epispadias. Methods: The records of all girls who had undergone epispadias repair and bladder neck plication via the STAFER technique over a four-year study period (January...

Background: There has been a dramatic effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on the daily health-care services. The era of physical consultations is slowly being replaced with teleconsultation, and this current pandemic has tipped the scales further. This study highlights the preliminary experience in providing teleconsultation to pediatri...

Objective: Various studies have depicted the incidence of glove perforations during open (OS) and minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the incidence of macroscopic and microscopic glove perforations during MIS and OS. Methods: The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items fo...

Background: In cases with solid tumors, preoperative radiological investigations provide valuable information on the anatomy of the tumor and the adjoining structures, thus helping in operative planning. However, due to a two-dimensional view in these investigations, a detailed spatial relationship is difficult to decipher. In contrast, three-dime...

Background: The available endoscopic techniques for ureterocele decompression include laser puncture (LP), electrosurgical incision (ES), and cold-knife incision. This systematic review was performed to compare the efficacy of LP versus ES techniques with special emphasis on de novo VUR. Methods: Four databases were systematically searched by the a...

Background: Surgical trainees often resort to operative videos on the internet during preparation for surgery; YouTube is the most commonly explored video source by them. However, the quality of these videos is often questioned. This study was performed to assess the quality of available YouTube videos on laparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP). Materials...

Ectopic scrotum is a rare form of congenital scrotal anomaly that is rarely encountered in pediatric surgical practice. Herein, we report an infant with a unilateral ectopic suprainguinal scrotum associated with undescended testis and multicystic dysplastic kidney. The case is reported in view of rarity of this anomaly in the general pediatric popu...

Background A significant proportion of children require multiple surgeries for successful repair of hypospadias. This is not only a source of a financial burden to the family but also causes long-term social and psychosexual issues. Tissue sealant application can provide additional coverage to the suture line and subsequently prevents operative fai...

Objectives: To present a case vignette on missed distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) which was managed by thoracoscopy and fistula clipping. Patient and methods: A preterm (35 weeks) female newborn developed frothing of saliva and fast breathing after birth. She was diagnosed with pure esophageal atresia and underwent right cervical esophagosto...

Objectives The authors herein report the results of esophageal replacement by gastric pullup technique through the retro-sternal route as an option for esophageal replacement in a resource-constrained set-up. Method Prospectively collected data upon twenty-two consecutive patients (male:female = 17:5) mean age 24.9 months [7 months – 12 years], me...

Introduction: The study focuses on the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes (both short term and long term) in patients with sacrococcygeal teratoma managed over a decade in a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study on children with sacrococcygeal teratoma over 12 years data collected included antenatal d...
