Antegrade Continence Enema Alone for the Management of Functional Constipation and Segmental Colonic Dysmotility (ACE-FC): A Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium Study
Conclusion In patients with severe functional constipation and documented segmental colonic dysmotility, ACE alone is an effective treatment modality at 1-year follow-up. Patients without pelvic floor dyssynergia on anorectal manometry are more likely to receive colonic resection after ACE. The vast majority of such patients can avoid a colonic resection.

Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Intravenous Indocyanine Green Method in Segmentectomy for Infants with Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation
Conclusions Based on our experience, the NIRF imaging with intravenous ICG method proved to be both safe and effective when performing segmentectomy for infants with CPAM. Low doses of ICG did not hinder the accurate identification of the intersegmental plane.

The Diagnostics and Management of Bronchopulmonary Sequestration: An International Survey among Specialized Caregivers
Conclusions This survey demonstrates a variation in management strategies of BPS, reflecting different specialist expertise. Most centers treat only a handful of cases per year and follow-up is not standardized. Therefore, management discussion within a multidisciplinary team is recommended. Recording patient data in an international registry for the comparison of management strategies and outcomes could support the development of future guidelines. Level of Evidence: Level IV.

Treatment of Anorectal Malformations in German Hospitals: Analysis of National Hospital Discharge Data from 2016 to 2021
Conclusions Children with ARM are multimorbid. Early complications after corrective surgery are common. Considering the large number of hospitals with a very low caseload, centralization of care for the complex and elective corrective surgery for ARM remains a key issue for quality of care.

Bridging the Gap: A Systematic Review on Reporting Baseline Characteristics, Process, and Outcome Parameters in Rectosigmoid Hirschsprung's Disease
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2198-9050The variation in standardized, well-defined parameters in Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) research hinders overarching comparisons and complicates evaluations of care quality across healthcare settings. This review addresses the significant variability observed in these parameters as reported in recent publications. The goal is to compile a list of commonly described baseline characteristics, process and outcome measures, and to investigate disparities in their utilization and definitions. A systematic review of literature on the primary care process for HSCR was performed according...

Intercostal Nerve Cryoablation or Epidural Analgesia for Multimodal Pain Management after the Nuss Procedure: A Cohort Study
Conclusions Intercostal nerve cryoablation is a superior analgesic method compared with CEA, with reduced LOS, opioid use, and NRS pain scores. The prophylactic use of gabapentin is redundant.

Social Determinants of Health Are Associated with Failed Bowel Management for Children with Anorectal Malformations
Conclusions There is a significant correlation of failure of BMPs with several SDOH elements in patients with ARM. Attention to SDOH may help identify high-risk patients in whom additional care may lead improved outcomes following BMP.

Anatomical Variations of the External Genitalia in Posterior Cloaca: Clinical Consequences of Misdiagnosis —A Systematic Review of the Literature and the ARM-Net Consortium Experience
Conclusion Patients with PC are at high risk of being diagnosed with AG or even assigned the wrong gender at birth. In our series two patients were assigned as males, and consequently one of them underwent a highly mutilating surgery. A thorough physical examination together with a high index of suspicion and laboratory workup are mandatory to identify these variations, avoiding further investigations, unnecessary surgeries, and parental stress.
