Abstract
Introduction: The pediatric choledochal cyst with hepatic duct stenosis occurs postoperative hepatolithiasis, recurrent cholangitis, or pancreatitis. The laparoscopic hepatic ductoplasty can prevent these incidences. Objectives: To determine the characteristic of hepatic duct stenosis, laparoscopic treatment, and outcomes in systematic review and meta-analysis. Methodology: We searched the published studies on PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases from January 1985 to April 2022 in English language. This protocol was registered to PROSPERO (CRD42022332145). Results: Nine published studies and 412 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the locations were the confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts 43.1%, the left or/and the right hepatic duct 8.3%, and the unclassified location 60.4%. These characteristics included a membranous/septum appearance (44.7%) and a circumferential/relative stenosis (22.7%). The laparoscopic techniques were the wide hilar Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (28.5%), the excision of membranes/septum (26.5%), and the mixed hepatic ductoplasty (45.0%). The outcomes revealed a minor bile leakage of 3.8% and minimal bleeding. The meta-analysis showed no statistical difference between laparoscopic and open techniques in hepatolithiasis (0% versus 2.00%), anastomosis stricture (4.83% versus 10.00%), and no recurrent cholangitis. There was no conversion rate but showed a trend the prolonged operating time in laparoscopy. Conclusion: Laparoscopic hepatic ductoplasty is safe and effective. The characteristics and location can be feasible laparoscopic procedures. So, hepatic ductoplasty decreases hepatolithiasis, anastomosis stricture, or recurrent cholangitis and may increase minor bile leakage. The systematic review registration was PROSPERO system with CRD42022332145.

How many cases do instructor class pediatric surgeons need to experience to be an independent operator in performing advanced endoscopic surgery? A nationwide survey to establish an ideal curriculum for pediatric endoscopic surgery in Japan. Pediatr Surg Int 2023; 39:271.

Abstract
PURPOSE To ensure the safe spread of pediatric endoscopic surgery, it is essential to build a training curriculum, and a survey of the current situation in Japan is necessary. The present study assessed an efficient training curriculum by clarifying instructor class pediatric surgeons' experiences, including autonomy when performing advanced endoscopic surgeries. METHODS An online nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted among pediatric surgeons who had Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification (ESSQ) and board-certified instructors who had skills comparable to ESSQ. We assessed participants' training experience, opinions concerning the ideal training curriculum, and the correlation between surgical experience and the level of autonomy. The Zwisch scale was used to assess autonomy. RESULTS Fifty-two participants responded to the survey (response rate: 86.7%). Only 57.7% of the respondents felt that they had received sufficient endoscopic surgery training. Most respondents considered an educational curriculum for endoscopic surgery including off-the-job training essential during the training period. Autonomy had been acquired after experiencing two to three cases for most advanced endoscopic surgeries. CONCLUSION This first nationwide survey in Japan showed that instructor class pediatric surgeons acquired autonomy after experiencing two to three for most advanced endoscopic surgeries. Our findings suggest that training, especially off-the-job training, has been insufficient.

Robotic versus laparoscopic radical surgery for pediatric congenital biliary dilatation: a comparison of surgical outcomes of a single surgeon's initial experience. Pediatr Surg Int 2023; 39:261.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to clarify the validity of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) for pediatric patients with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). METHODS We retrospectively compared RAS and laparoscopic surgery (LS) for pediatric CBD performed by the same certified surgeon between 2016 and 2022. RESULTS We included 6 RAS and 12 LS cases in this study. One case of RAS with laparotomy was excluded from the analysis. The patients in the two groups had comparable ages and body weights. The median surgery duration, the suture time per stitch, and the time to drain removal were 385 min, 145 s, and 5 days in the RAS group and 370 min (p = 0.28), 177 s (p = 0.03), and 6 days (p = 0.03) in the LS group, respectively. The time to create the Roux-en-Y limb was significantly longer in the RAS group. Postoperative complications occurred in one RAS case and in four LS cases. CONCLUSIONS Less anastomotic time per stitch and less time to drain removal suggest that RAS may contribute to accurate suturing and fine intra-pancreatic bile duct dissection. In addition, RAS requiring large movements of forceps in a large surgical field, such as Roux-en-Y creation, is inferior to LS.

Abstract
The purpose of our study was to explore the influencing factors of parental selections of minimally invasive procedure including laparoscopic or robotic methods in children's abdominal surgery. The questionnaire survey was conducted among the parents of patients who received abdominal laparoscopic or robotic surgery in our hospital from December 2020 to June 2022. The contents included basic information of the patients and parents, parental educational background, monthly income, insurance details and the parental considerations. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were applied for the influencing factors analysis. Six categories of diseases involving choledochal cyst (198 cases), spleen related diseases (31 cases), hirschsprung disease (40 cases), inguinal hernia (330 cases), adrenal tumor (15 cases) and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (73 cases) were included in this study. After univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis accomplished, we discovered that college degree or above (OR = 0.545, P < 0.001), monthly income > 5000 RMB (OR = 0.761, P < 0.001) and involving reconstruction during operation (OR = 0.842, P < 0.001) were the influencing factors for parental selections of robotic surgery. In children's abdominal surgery, parents with college degree or above, monthly income > 5000 RMB and considering the need for reconstruction during operation are more inclined to choose the robotic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative anastomotic stricture (PAS) is a well-known complication after correcting choledochal cyst (CC). Although the exact cause of PAS is unknown, various risk factors, such as Todani classification type IV-A, hepaticoduodenostomy, and narrow anastomosis have been reported to be associated with PAS. As far as we know, there is no report with a cumulative analysis of such risk factors of PAS. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the risk factors of PAS following surgical correction of CC in children. METHODS A systematic literature search for relevant articles was performed in four databases using the combinations of the following terms "Congenital biliary dilatation", "Congenital choledochal cyst", "Choledochal cyst", "Stenosis", "Stricture", and "Complication" for studies published between 1973 and 2022. The relevant cohorts of PAS were systematically searched for clinical presentation and outcomes. RESULTS The search strategy identified 795 reports. Seventy studies met the defined inclusion criteria, reporting a total of 206 patients with PAS. There is no prospective study in this search. The incidence of PAS was 2.1%. The proportion of Todani classification of the patient with PAS was higher in type IV-A with significant difference (2.0% in type I and 10.1% in type IV-A (p = 0.001)). Fourteen studies reported a comparison between hepaticojejunostomy and hepaticoduodenostomy. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.36). Four studies reported the diameter of the anastomosis at the primary surgery. The mean diameter was 12.5 mm. Nine studies reported a comparison between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery. Pooled odds ratio of PAS did not show a statistical difference (p = 0.29). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that close careful follow-up is important in the patients with type IV-A of CC who underwent excision surgery, considering the possibility of PAS.
