Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is limited literature on the optimal approach to treat adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) in children. We sought to compare rates and outcomes of laparoscopic (LAP) and open (OPEN) surgery for pediatric ASBO. METHODS A California statewide database was used to identify children (<18 years old) with an index ASBO from 2007 to 2020. The primary outcome was the type of operative management: LAP or OPEN. Secondary outcomes were hospital characteristics, patient demographics, and postoperative complications. We excluded patients treated non-operatively. RESULTS Our study group had 545 patients. 381 (70%) underwent OPEN and 164 (30%) LAP during the index admission. Over the study period, there was increasing use of laparoscopic surgery, with higher use in older children (p < 0.001). LAP was associated with fewer overall complications (65.2% vs. 81.6%, p < 0.001), with a decreasing trend in complications over time (p < 0.001). The LAP group had significantly lower rates of bowel resection (4.9% vs. 17.1%, p < 0.001), length of stay (LOS) (17 vs. 23 days, p < 0.001), and TPN use (12.2% vs. 29.1%, p < 0.001). Mortality rates were equivalent. Although the LAP group had lower readmission rates (22.6% vs. 37.3%, p < 0.001), the length of time between discharge and readmission was similar (171 vs. 165 days, p = 0.190). DISCUSSION The use of laparoscopic surgery for index ASBO increased over the study period. However, it was less commonly utilized in younger children. LAP had fewer overall complications as well as shorter LOS, decreased TPN use, and fewer readmissions. The benefits and risks of each approach must be weighed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To examine practice patterns and surgical outcomes of nonoperative versus operative management (OPM) of children presenting with an index adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). METHODS A California statewide health discharge database was used to identify children (<18 y old) with an index ASBO from 2007 to 2020. The primary study outcome was evaluating initial management patterns (nonoperative versus OPM and early [≤3 d] versus late surgery [>3 d]) of ASBO. Secondary outcomes were hospital characteristics, patient demographics, and postoperative complications. RESULTS Of the 2297 patients identified, 1948 (85%) underwent OPM for ASBO during the index admission. Of these, 14.7% underwent early surgery within 3 d. Teaching hospitals had higher operative intervention than nonteaching centers (87.1% versus 83.7%, P = 0.034). OPM was the highest in 0-5-year-olds compared to other ages (89% versus 82%, P < 0.001). In comparison to early surgery, late surgery was associated with longer length of stay (early 7[interquartile range 5-10], late 9[interquartile range 6-17], P < 0.001), increased infectious complications (16.4% versus 9.8%, P = 0.004), and greater use of total parenteral nutrition (28.0% versus 14.3%, P = 0.001); there was no difference in bowel resection (21% versus 18%, P = 0.102) or mortality (P = 0.423). CONCLUSIONS Our pediatric study demonstrated a high rate of OPM for index ASBO, especially in newborns and toddlers. Although operative intervention, especially late surgery, was associated with increased length of stay, increased infectious complications, and increased total parenteral nutrition use, the rates of bowel resection and mortality did not differ by management strategy. These trends need to be further evaluated to optimize outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal adhesions can lead to adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). The incidence of ASBO is higher in paediatric surgery than in adult surgery. However, ASBO related complications, economic burden and clear management guidelines in the treatment of ASBO are lacking. The aims of this study were to investigate underlying diagnoses, treatments, complications and costs in paediatric ASBO. METHOD An observational retrospective study in children 0-15 years, hospitalised for ASBO during 2000-2020. Data were extracted from the medical records. Complications were classified based on Clavien Dindo Classification of Surgical Complications. Descriptive statistics were presented as median, continuous variables and categorical variables summarised with frequencies. Time to ASBO was presented as a Kaplan-Meier estimate. RESULTS In total, 101 patients with 137 episodes of ASBO were included whereof 58.4% underwent first (index) surgery during the neonatal period. Median follow-up was 11.3 (0.6-19) years and median time to the first ASBO was 3.76 months (95%CI 2.23-12.02). The most common diagnoses at index surgery were necrotising enterocolitis, duodenal obstruction and primary ASBO. In 86.6% of the patients, first ASBO did not resolve with conservative treatment and a laparotomy was needed. Postoperative complications were found in 52%. Median cost for one episode of acute ASBO was 36 236 USD (1629-236 159). CONCLUSION Neonatal surgery was the dominating cause of ASBO and surgical intervention the most common treatment with a high frequency of postoperative complications and significant healthcare costs. Future studies are needed to develop safe management guidelines for the treatment of paediatric ASBO. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no standard timing for switching to surgical management for children with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) who initially receive conservative treatment. We hypothesized that an increased gastrointestinal drainage volume may indicate the need for surgical intervention. METHODS The study population included 150 episodes in the patients less than 20 years of age who received treatment for ASBO in our department from January 2008 to August 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: the successful conservative treatment group (CT) and the eventual surgical treatment group (ST). Following the analysis of all episodes (Study 1), we limited our analysis to only first ASBO episodes (Study 2). We retrospectively reviewed their medical records. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in the volume on the 2nd day in both Study 1 (9.1 ml/kg vs. 18.7 ml/kg; p < 0.01) and study 2 (8.1 ml/kg vs. 19.7 ml/kg; p < 0.01). The cut-off value was the same for both Study 1 and Study 2 (11.7 ml/kg). CONCLUSIONS The gastrointestinal drainage volume on the 2nd day in ST was significantly larger than that in CT. Accordingly, we considered that the drainage volume may predict eventual surgical intervention for children with ASBO who initially receive conservative treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
Identifying Bowel strangulation and the approach and timing of surgical intervention for pediatric SBO are still uncertain. In this study, 75 consecutive pediatric patients with surgically confirmed SBO were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into group 1 (n = 48) and group 2 (n = 27) according to the presence of reversible or irreversible bowel ischemia, which was analyzed based on the degree of ischemia at the time of operation. The results demonstrated that the proportion of patients with no prior abdominopelvic surgery was higher, the serum albumin level was lower, and the proportion of patients in which ascites were detected by ultrasonography was higher in group 2 than that in group 1. The serum albumin level was negatively correlated with ultrasonographic findings of the fluid sonolucent area in group 2. There were significant differences in the choice of surgical approach between group 1 and group 2. A symptom duration of >48 h was associated with an increased bowel resection rate. The mean length of hospital stay was shorter in group 1 than that in group 2. In conclusion, immediate surgical intervention should be considered in patients with a symptom duration of >48 h or the presence of free ascites between dilated small bowel loops on ultrasonography. Laparoscopic exploration is recommended as first-line treatment in patients with stable status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We intended to investigate the predictors for bowel resection in infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We further developed a scoring system for better predicting bowel resection. METHODS A total of 207 infants who underwent surgical management at Children's Hospital, Chongqing Medical University between April 2008 and December 2020 were identified for the following investigation. Bowel resection was reviewed among the infants who underwent the procedure. Potential parameters related to bowel resection were explored using a multiple logistic regression method, and then a scoring system was developed. RESULTS Among the 207 patients who underwent operative intervention that were reviewed, 109 infants underwent bowel resection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight, hypotension, neutropenia, pneumoperitoneum, acidosis, and intestinal wall thickness were predictors related to the occurrence of bowel resection. A 6-point scoring system was further developed based on the obtained total coefficient, and the infants could be divided into low-, moderate- and high-risk groups according to cut values of 7 and 13. CONCLUSION The results of this study demonstrated that severe NEC features and low birth weight were associated with bowel resection. The risk scoring system could accurately separate infants that were suspected to have bowel loss during surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study assessed inter-hospital variability in operative-vs-nonoperative management of pediatric adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective study was performed examining patients 1-21 years-of-age presenting with ASBO from 2010 to 2019 utilizing the Pediatric Health Information System. Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression was performed assessing inter-hospital variability in operative-vs-nonoperative management of ASBO. RESULTS Among 6410 pediatric ASBO admissions identified at 46 hospitals, 3,239 (50.5%) underwent surgery during that admission. The hospital-specific rate of surgery ranged from 35.3% (95%CI: 28.5-42.6%) to 74.7% (66.3-81.6%) in the unadjusted model (p < 0.001), and from 35.1% (26.3-45.1%) to 73.9% (66.7-79.9%) in the adjusted model (p < 0.001). Factors associated with operative management for ASBO included admission to a surgical service (OR 2.8 [95%CI: 2.4-3.2], p < 0.001), congenital intestinal and/or rotational anomaly (OR 2.5 [2.1-3.1], p < 0.001), diagnostic workup including advanced abdominal imaging (OR 1.7 [1.5-1.9], p < 0.001), non-emergent admission status (OR 1.5 [1.3-1.8], p < 0.001), and increasing number of complex chronic comorbidities (OR 1.3 [1.2-1.4], p < 0.001). Factors associated with nonoperative management for ASBO included increased hospital-specific annual ASBO volume (OR 0.98 [95%CI: 0.97-0.99], p = 0.002), older age (OR 0.97 [0.96-0.98], p < 0.001), public insurance (OR 0.87 [0.78-0.96], p = 0.008), and presence of coinciding non-intestinal congenital anomalies, neurologic/neuromuscular disease, and/or medical technology dependence (OR 0.57 [95%CI: 0.47-0.68], p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Rates of surgical intervention for ASBO vary significantly across tertiary children's hospitals in the United States. The variability was independent of patient and hospital characteristics and is likely due to practice variation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Adhesive small bowel obstructions are a common cause of morbidity in children who underwent prior abdominal surgery. The concept of partial versus complete bowel obstruction is outdated and lacks precision to be clinically useful. Identifying patients with indications for immediate operative intervention is critical and must be recognized to limit morbidity. Clinical protocols and contrast challenge algorithms have attempted to identify patients that will resolve their bowel obstruction nonoperatively; there has been slow uptake in the pediatric patient population versus adults until recently. Incorporating predictive models and standardized contrast challenge protocols will help reduce interpractitioner variability and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a life-threatening event. Literature reports an incidence of SBO of 20% and an association with patch repair and ECMO treatment. Adhesions develop due to peritoneal damage and underly various biochemical and cellular processes. This longitudinal cohort study is aimed at identifying the incidence of SBO and the risk factors of surgical, pre-, and postoperative treatment. METHODS We evaluated all consecutive CDH survivors born between January 2009 and December 2017 participating in our prospective long-term follow-up program with a standardized protocol. RESULTS A total of 337 patients were included, with a median follow-up of 4 years. SBO with various underlying causes was observed in 38 patients (11.3%) and significantly more often after open surgery (OS). The majority of SBOs required surgical intervention (92%). Adhesive SBO (ASBO) was detected as the leading cause in 17 of 28 patients, in whom surgical reports were available. Duration of chest tube insertion [odds ratio (OR) 1.22; 95% CI 1.01-1.46, p = 0.04] was identified as an independent predictor for ASBO in multivariate analysis. Beyond the cut-off value of 16 days, the incidence of serous effusion and chylothorax was higher in patients with ASBO (ASBO/non-SBO: 2/10 vs. 3/139 serous effusion, p = 0.04; 2/10 vs. 13/139 chylothorax, p = 0.27). Type of diaphragmatic reconstruction, abdominal wall closure, or ECMO treatment showed no significant association with ASBO. A protective effect of one or more re-operations has been detected (RR 0.16; 95% CI 0.02-1.17; p = 0.049). CONCLUSION Thoracoscopic CDH repair significantly lowers the risk of SBO; however, not every patient is suitable for this approach. GoreTex®-patches do not seem to affect the development of ASBO, while median laparotomy might be more favorable than a subcostal incision. Neonates produce more proinflammatory cytokines and have a reduced anti-inflammatory capacity, which may contribute to the higher incidence of ASBO in patients with a longer duration of chest tube insertion, serous effusion, chylothorax, and to the protective effect of re-operations. In the future, novel therapeutic strategies based on a better understanding of the biochemical and cellular processes involved in the pathophysiology of adhesion formation might contribute to a reduction of peritoneal adhesions and their associated morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative adhesive bowel obstruction (ABO) is a common complication especially in complicated appendicitis. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for ABO following appendectomy in children with complicated appendicitis, and establish a scoring model for predicting postoperative ABO and treatment option to relieve the obstruction. METHODS From December 2014 to January 2020, all files of consecutive patients with complicated appendicitis underwent appendectomy were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to screen out the risk factors of postoperative ABO, and establish a scoring model for predicting postoperative ABO and surgical relief to relieve the obstruction. RESULTS Of the 780 patients, 87 (11.2%) had ABO following appendectomy, including 27 who underwent surgical relief. Age ≤ 6 years, overweight and obesity, duration of symptoms ≥ 36 h, C-reactive protein ≥ 99 mg/L, duration of operation ≥ 60 min, intraoperative peritoneal lavage, and postoperative flatus time ≥ 20 h were independent risk factors for postoperative ABO. The final scoring model for postoperative ABO included factors above, and exhibited a high degree of discrimination (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.937; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.913-0.960) corresponding to an optimal cut-off value of 6: 82.8% sensitivity, 92.6% specificity. Furthermore, the scoring model showed a sensitivity of 74.1% and a specificity of 91.7% for patients wo underwent surgical relief to relieve obstruction with the optimal cut-off value of 9. CONCLUSION Risk factors for postoperative ABO should be taken seriously in children with complicated appendicitis. The scoring model is a novel but promising method to predict postoperative ABO and provide reference for clinical decision-making to relieve the obstruction.

Abstract
Adhesions following abdominal surgery remain a common cause of bowel obstruction. The incidence is between 1 and 12.6% in children who have had previous abdominal surgery. While conservative management is usually trialled in all patients (including children) suspected of having ASBO, the majority will require surgical intervention. New materials such as Seprafilm® have been studied in the paediatric population, with promising results of its use in index abdominal surgeries to prevent the formation of adhesions. In this article, we conducted a systematic review to present an overview of the current knowledge on the incidence, aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of ASBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are minimal data on long-term surgical outcomes of patients who have undergone resection for Wilms tumor (WT) and neuroblastoma (NB). METHODS A retrospective review of patients in a long-term survivor clinic between the years 1967 and 2016 in a pediatric tertiary care hospital (>5 years posttreatment) was performed. RESULTS Eighty-six survivors of WT and 86 survivors of NB who had ongoing follow-up in the survivors' clinic were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 2.5 years (range, 0.4-15.7 years) with a mean follow-up of 22.3 years (±10.4 years) for WT. The median age at diagnosis for patients with NB was 0.9 years (range, 0.1-8.6 months); mean follow-up of 21.7 years (±7.9 years). Twelve patients with WT (14.0%) had at least 1 repeat laparotomy, 11.1% for bowel obstruction, at a median of 3 months from initial surgery. Twelve patients (14.0%) with NB required laparotomy and 8.1% for bowel obstruction, at a median of 12 years after initial surgery. The incidence of hypertension in patients with WT who had undergone nephrectomy was not outside of population norms. Patients who underwent thoracotomy for a NB have a higher incidence of scoliosis and Horner syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Small bowel obstruction requiring laparotomy is significantly higher than the literature norms for both tumor patient populations and typically occurs in the early postoperative period for patients with WT and remotely in patients with NB. The long-term surgical complications of patients who underwent resection for NB and WT clearly merit follow-up and patient education within multidisciplinary long-term survivorship clinics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of children with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is often based on abdominal radiographs (AXR). Our purpose was to determine the significance of paucity of gas on initial AXR. METHODS Retrospective, single center review of children with ASBO between 2011 and 2015. Analysis included chi-square, non-parametric tests and multivariate regression. RESULTS Of 207 cases, 99 were operative. Initial AXR showed paucity of gas in 41% and gaseous loops in 59%. Paucity was more common in operative patients (49% vs. 32%, p = 0.01). At operation, 71% of patients with paucity had closed loop or high-grade obstruction, compared to 29% of patients with gaseous loops (p = <0.001). CONCLUSION For children with ASBO with paucity of gas on AXR, complicated obstruction (closed loop or high-grade) should be considered. In children with high clinical suspicion of complicated obstruction, additional imaging with CT or SBFT may clarify the clinical picture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) in children is generally managed with initial observation. However, no clear guidelines exist regarding indications to operate. Our purpose was to compare outcomes of ASBO management to determine whether timing of surgery and patient age should affect management. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of children admitted to a tertiary care children's hospital for ASBO between 2011 and 2015 was performed. Data included demographics, imaging, operative findings, and clinical management, which were analyzed using χ2 test, Fischer's exact test, t-test, analysis of variance, or logistic regression when appropriate. RESULTS We identified 258 admissions for 202 patients. Urgent operation was performed in 12% and the rest had nonoperative management (NOM), which was successful in 54%. Patients younger than 1 y of age were more likely to require operation (odds ratio 3.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.69-8.15; P < 0.01), and patients with prior ASBO were less likely to require operation (odds ratio 0.51, 95% CI 0.31-0.84; P < 0.01). At presentation, fever was most common in patients who had urgent operation (22.3% versus failure of NOM 7.6% versus successful NOM 6.6%; P = 0.02), but there were no differences in leukocytosis or abdominal pain. Excluding urgent operations, bowel resection was more common when operation was delayed more than 48 h (32.6% versus 15.3%; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In children with adhesive small bowel obstruction, NOM can be successful, but when failure is suspected, early operation before 48 h should be considered to avoid bowel loss, especially in children younger than 1 y of age.

Abstract
The article analyzes two rare cases of acquired intestinal obstruction in children. In the first child at the age of 2 years, who suffered a retrosternal total coloesophagoplasty for extended post-burn chemical esophageal stenosis, early postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction appeared on the 8th day of the postoperative period, which was eliminated laparoscopically. The next day, against the background of drug stimulation of the intestine, a small intestinal invagination developed, diagnosed with ultrasound examination. Relaparotomy and disinvagination were performed.The second patient, the 15 years old girl, who had suffered from closed abdominal injury and a pancreatic injury, manifested the signs of high partial intestinal obstruction a day after the trauma occurred. Initially, its cause was considered to be hematoma of the omental bursa. Fibrogastroduodenoscopy (FGDS) and X-ray diagnostics did not reveal the cause of intestinal obstruction, but after FGDS procedure the patient’s condition improved within 3–4 days, and then the clinical signs of small bowel obstructive adhesion confirmed by X-ray and laparoscopy. With laparoscopy in the middle section of the small intestine, a hyperinflate “whitish” section about 12 cm long, dense in palpation, was identified, which was the cause of obstruction. Through minilaparotomic umbilical access from the abdominal cavity, a loop of the jejunum with a foreign body inside was exteriorized. With transverse enterotomy trihobezoar 10×4×4 cm was removed from the lumen, which moved from the stomach and led to obstruction of small intestine. The outcome of the treatment was good in both cases.

Abstract
Abdominal surgery might contribute to postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions, with a high rate of recurrence. In the present study, we aimed to analyze potential factors for the surgical intervention of operated adhesive postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) in pediatric patients and compare the outcomes of patients managed by conservative treatment or surgical operation for an episode of SBO.From January 2007 to January 2017, the records of 712 patients admitted with SBO to Children's Hospital, Chongqing Medical University, were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided according to surgical intervention or conservative management. Potential predictors for surgical intervention were investigated, including the initial operation data and the current clinical variables. A Cox regression model was used to determine the independent risk factors of surgical intervention. A systematic follow-up for recurrence was performed based on surgical intervention or conservative management.Among the 712 patients admitted with SBO, 266 patients were managed surgically and 446 patients were managed conservatively. In the multivariate analysis, the predictors for the surgical intervention included initial surgical features, such as elevated markers of inflammation (WBC, CRP), incision location (HR, 2.31; 95CI, 1.29-5.26; P = .031), and emergency procedure (HR, 1.46; 95%CI, 1.13-3.42; P = .014), and current variables, such as crampy pain (HR, 4.66; 95%CI, 1.69-9.48; P < .001), ascites (HR, 5.43; 95%CI, 1.84-13.76; P < .001) and complete small bowel obstruction (HR, 3.21; 95%CI, 1.45-8.74; P < .001). The median follow-up time (interquartile range) was 3.6 years (range, 1 month-8 years) for the entire study population. Twenty-one patients (9.2%) who had undergone surgical intervention were rehospitalized for a new SBO episode, as were 53 patients (14.9%) who had been managed conservatively (P = .028; OR, 1.72, 95% CI, 1.00-2.95).Operated adhesive postoperative SBO with the following characteristics should heighten vigilance for surgical intervention: an initial emergency procedure with midline incisions and the current strangulation status. New hospitalizations were lower after surgical management than conservative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most serious adverse events resulting in deteriorated quality of life in children. Numerous studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces the occurrence of SBO compared with open surgery in adults. However, evidence of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery in terms of reducing SBO is lacking in children. Fundoplication is a common abdominal procedure in children. This study was performed to compare the occurrence of SBO after laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) versus open fundoplication (OF). METHODS Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, a national inpatient database in Japan, we retrospectively identified patients aged 0-18 years who underwent LF or OF from July 2010 to March 2016. Propensity score adjustment was used to compare the occurrence of SBO between the groups. RESULTS We identified 1838 eligible patients who underwent LF (n = 1362) or OF (n = 476). The median age at surgery was 4.0 and 1.5 years in the LF and OF group, respectively (P < 0.001). The median weight at admission was 11.4 and 7.5 kg, respectively (P < 0.001). Nineteen (1.4%) patients in the LF group and 13 (2.7%) in the OF group had at least one episode of SBO (P = 0.11, log-rank test). In the propensity score-adjusted Cox regression analysis, SBO was significantly less likely to occur in the LF than OF group (hazard ratio, 0.36; 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.82; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective nationwide study, LF was significantly associated with a reduction in SBO compared with OF in children.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluate serum procalcitonin (PCT) level as a predictor of intestinal ischemia or necrosis (IN) in patients with postoperative adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). METHODS Prospective cohort of consecutive patients with ASBO. Patients previously treated with antibiotics or septic were excluded. PCT was measured at the diagnosis of ASBO and every 24 h afterwards. MAIN OUTCOME intestinal ischemia or necrosis (IN). RESULTS Fifty-nine patients were included, 12 of whom were excluded; 47 patients remained in the study; male-to-female ratio = 1.9:1. MANAGEMENT medical in 15 cases (32%) and surgical in 32 (68%). MAIN OUTCOME Intestinal necrosis (IN) in 10 patients (21.3%). Mean PCT level was higher in patients with IN (15.11 ng/ml vs. 0.183 ng/ml, p=0.002), the proportion of patients with elevated PCT (>0.5 ng/dl) was higher in patients with IN (70% vs. 8.1%, p=<0.001, RR=26.4 with a 95% CI of 4.39-159.5). Elevated PCT levels at diagnosis had a 70% positive predictive value (PPV) and 91.8% negative predictive value (NPV) for prediction of IN. With a PCT value at diagnosis of >1.0 ng/dl, PPV was 87.5% and NPV, 92.3%. CONCLUSIONS PCT levels are closely related to the presence of intestinal ischemia and necrosis in children with ASBO. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Study of Diagnostic Test, Level II.

Abstract
Over the last century there have not been significant changes in the anatomical location of obstruction. The age of presentation has increased along with age related co-morbidity. Management has consequently been challenging as risks keep on increasing with advanced age. Hence, clear decision making has become essential in its management. A selective review of the literature pertaining to common age related aetiologies, diagnosis methods leading to standard decision making and treatment of acute intestinal obstruction was done. The same is obtained from randomized controlled studies, meta-analysis and other related evidence based publications. Predicting the conservative or operative management of Bowel Obstruction (BO) is difficult. BO in young age, in unscarred abdomen and Large Bowel Obstruction (LBO) needs early surgery. Decision on surgery should be taken in paediatric patient by second day and preferably between 3-5 days of admission in adults. Higher American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade correlates well with the mortalities. In this article, the timing of surgery, methods to avoid bowel resection and type of surgery in various causes are stressfully analysed and discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE For adult survivors of childhood cancer, knowledge about the long-term risk of intestinal obstruction from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is limited. METHODS Intestinal obstruction requiring surgery (IOS) occurring 5 or more years after cancer diagnosis was evaluated in 12,316 5-year survivors in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (2,002 with and 10,314 without abdominopelvic tumors) and 4,023 sibling participants. Cumulative incidence of IOS was calculated with second malignant neoplasm, late recurrence, and death as competing risks. Using piecewise exponential models, we assessed the associations of clinical and demographic factors with rate of IOS. RESULTS Late IOS was reported by 165 survivors (median age at IOS, 19 years; range, 5 to 50 years; median time from diagnosis to IOS, 13 years) and 14 siblings. The cumulative incidence of late IOS at 35 years was 5.8% (95% CI, 4.4% to 7.3%) among survivors with abdominopelvic tumors, 1.0% (95% CI, 0.7% to 1.4%) among those without abdominopelvic tumors, and 0.3% (95% CI, 0.1% to 0.5%) among siblings. Among survivors, abdominopelvic tumor (adjusted rate ratio [ARR], 3.6; 95% CI, 1.9 to 6.8; P < .001) and abdominal/pelvic radiotherapy within 5 years of cancer diagnosis (ARR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.6 to 3.7; P < .001) increased the rate of late IOS, adjusting for diagnosis year; sex; race/ethnicity; age at diagnosis; age during follow-up (as natural cubic spline); cancer type; and chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery within 5 years of cancer diagnosis. Developing late IOS increased subsequent mortality among survivors (ARR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.9; P = .016), adjusting for the same factors. CONCLUSION The long-term risk of IOS and its association with subsequent mortality underscore the need to promote awareness of this complication among patients and providers.

Pediatric surgical complications of major genitourinary reconstruction in the exstrophy-epispadias complex. J Pediatr Surg 2015; 50:167-70.

Abstract
PURPOSE Urinary continence is the goal of exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) reconstruction. Patients may require a continent urinary diversion (CUD) if they are a poor candidate for bladder neck reconstruction or are receiving an augmentation cystoplasty (AC) or neobladder (NB). This study was designed to identify the incidence of surgical complications among various bowel segments typically used for CUD. METHODS A prospectively kept database of 1078 patients with EEC at a tertiary referral center from 1980 to 2012 was reviewed for major genitourinary reconstruction. Patient demographics, surgical indications, perioperative complications, and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Among reviewed EEC patients, 134 underwent CUD (81 male, 53 female). Concomitant AC was performed in 106 patients and NB in 11. Median follow up time after initial diversion was 5 years. The most common CUD bowel segments were appendix and ileum. The most common surgical complications after CUD were small bowel obstruction, post-operative ileus, and intraabdominal abscess. There was a significantly increased risk in the occurrence of pelvic or abdominal abscess when colon was used as a conduit compared to all other bowel segments (OR=16.7, 95% CI: 1.16-239) and following NB creation compared to AC (OR=39.4, 95% CI: 3.66-423). At postoperative follow-up, 98% of patients were continent of urine via their stoma. CONCLUSION We report the largest series to date examining CUD in the EEC population. The increased risk of abdominal and pelvic abscesses in patients who receive a colon CUD and undergo NB compared to AC indicates that while surgical complications following major genitourinary reconstruction are rare, they do occur. Practitioners must be wary of potential complications that are best managed by a multi-disciplinary team approach.

Abstract
Adhesive small bowel obstruction is a significant cause of short- and long-term morbidity in infants and children. Unfortunately, the majority of scientific literature relative to adhesive obstructions continues to be dominated by adult studies. In this article, the existing literature for infant and pediatric adhesive obstructions is reviewed, with relevant comparisons to the available adult data. In addition, general guidelines for the management of infant and pediatric adhesive obstructions are recommended, based on the best available evidence.

Abstract
Pediatric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare entity that can be quite different from its adult counterpart. This report provides a comprehensive review on the diagnosis and management of this tumor in children and adolescents, including its oncogenesis and associated syndromes. Surgery remains a mainstay of treatment, but there are no standard guidelines available at this time regarding the best practice for multimodality therapy as our understanding of the biology of GIST is still in evolution. Therefore, pediatric patients with GIST should be ideally treated in the context of clinical trials at specialized, multidisciplinary centers throughout the course of their disease, especially because these patients may live for years after diagnosis.
