Abstract
PURPOSE We compared the clinical features of patients with biliary atresia (BA) associated with a bleeding tendency (BT) at the time of the diagnosis with those of patients without a bleeding tendency (NBT). METHODS The patients' background characteristics, age in days at the first visit, Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), and postoperative course were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Nine of the 93 BA patients (9.7%) showed a BT, including 7 with intracranial hemorrhaging (ICH), 1 with gastrointestinal bleeding, and 1 with a prothrombin time (PT) of 0%. The age at the first visit was 62 ± 12 days old for BT patients and 53 ± 27 days old for NBT patients (p = 0.4); the age at KPE was 77 ± 9 days old for BT patients and 65 ± 24 days old for NBT patients (p = 0.2); the time from the first visit to surgery was 13 ± 7 days for BT patients and 11 ± 10 days for NBT patients (p = 0.5); and the native liver survival rate was 56% for BT patients and 58% for NBT patients (p = 1), with no significant difference in any of the parameters. The neurological outcomes of survivors of ICH were favorable. CONCLUSIONS Appropriate BT correction allowed early KPE even after ICH, resulting in native liver survival rates comparable to those of NBT patients without significant neurological complications.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We, herein, report a surgical technique for laparoscopy-assisted jejunostomy tube placement in an infant using a loop needle device to fix the jejunum and abdominal wall. A 3-year-old boy with Down's syndrome underwent nutritional management by gastrostomy due to oral feeding difficulty after radical surgery for congenital duodenal stenosis and following bile duct stenosis. However, intractable gastrostomy site leakage emerged; hence, laparoscopy-assisted gastrostomy takedown and simultaneous laparoscopy-assisted jejunostomy tube placement were planned. After laparoscopy-assisted gastrostomy closure was performed, the jejunum was extracted through the umbilical trocar wound. A jejunostomy tube kit was inserted at the left side of the umbilicus. After tube insertion into the jejunum, the jejunostomy tube was wrapped with four interrupted sutures using the Witzel technique. Suture threads were extracted by percutaneous insertion of a loop needle device, and then, the jejunum was fixed to the abdominal wall. The post-operative course was uneventful. Percutaneous insertion of a loop needle device is useful for fixing a jejunostomy tube to the abdominal wall using the Witzel technique. Our technique is safe, secure and expected to reduce the risk of dislodgement of tube and peritonitis associated with jejunostomy tube placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most cases of intestinal malrotation appear in neonates with bilious vomiting due to midgut volvulus, whereas in cases that develop beyond infancy, the initial symptoms vary. This study investigated the clinical features of these two populations and identified issues that should be considered in daily practice. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022. Data on patients with intestinal malrotation were collected in an anonymized fashion from five pediatric surgical hub facilities in the Southern Kyushu and Okinawa areas of Japan. RESULTS Of the 80 subjects, 57 (71.3%) were neonates (Group N) and 23 (28.7%) were infants and schoolchildren (Group I). The frequencies of initial symptoms, such as abdominal distention (Group N: 19.3% vs. Group I: 13.0%), bilious vomiting (59.6% vs. 43.5%), and hematochezia (8.8% vs. 21.7%), were not skewed by the age of onset (p = 0.535, 0.087, and 0.141, respectively). Midgut volvulus was significantly more frequent in Group N (71.9% [41/57] vs. 34.8% [8/23]; p = 0.005), while the degree of torsion was greater in group I (median 360° [interquartile range: 180-360°] vs. 450° [360-540°]; p = 0.029). Although the bowel resection rate was equivalent (7.0% [4/57] vs. 4.3% [1/23]; p = 1.000), half of the patients in Group N presented with 180° torsion. The neonatal intestine has been highlighted as being more susceptible to ischemia than that in older children. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of midgut volvulus is higher in neonates than in older children. Even relatively mild torsion can cause ischemic bowel changes during the neonatal period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE LEVEL III.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the autophagy associated with apoptosis in hepatic damage in the short bowel syndrome rat model. METHODS SD rats underwent jugular vein catheterization for continuous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and 90% small bowel resection. Animals were divided into two groups: TPN plus SBS (Control group) or TPN plus SBS plus intravenous administration of HGF (HGF group). On day 7, the rats were harvested, and hepatocellular injury was evaluated. RESULTS In an SBS rat model, hepatic steatosis and lobular inflammation were histologically suppressed in the HGF group (p < 0.01). The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α in the HGF group tend to be higher than that in the control group (p = 0.13). The gene expression of transforming Growth Factor-β in the HGF group was suppressed compared to the control group (p < 0.01). HGF treatment may have an antiapoptotic effect via the intrinsic pathway by caspase 9. Protein expressions of Rubicon (p = 0.03) and p62 (p < 0.01) in the HGF group were found to have increased compared to those in the control group. CONCLUSION The inhibitory effect of HGF on hepatic steatosis remains unclear, and further studies focusing on the mechanisms of fat accumulation are needed.

Abdominal wall defect repair with component separation technique for giant omphalocele with previous relaxing incisions on the abdominal skin. Surg Case Rep 2023; 9:99.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The repair of large abdominal wall defects that cannot be closed primarily is quite challenging. The component separation technique (CST) is a surgical approach using autologous tissue to close large abdominal wall defects. The CST requires extensive dissection between the abdominal skin and the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. Subsequently, incisions are made at both sides of the external oblique aponeurosis, releasing the external oblique muscle from the internal oblique muscle, and then the right and left rectus abdominis muscles are brought together in the midline for defect closure. However, impairment of blood flow in the abdominal wall skin and necrotic changes are recognized as potential complications. CASE PRESENTATION The CST was performed in a 4-year-old boy with a large ventral hernia who had undergone skin closure with abdominal wall relaxing incisions for the primary treatment of giant omphalocele in the neonatal period. Given his history of incisions on the abdominal wall, he was speculated to be at high risk for postoperative skin ischemia. Dissection was therefore kept to a minimum to preserve the blood supply from the superior and inferior epigastric arteries and perforating branches of those arteries through the rectus abdominis muscle. In addition, care was taken to adjust the muscle relaxant dosage while monitoring the intravesical pressure, ensuring that it did not exceed 20 mmHg to avoid impaired circulation in the abdominal wall caused by abdominal compartment syndrome. He was discharged 23 days after the surgery without any complications, and neither recurrence of the ventral hernia nor bowel obstruction was observed in 4 years. CONCLUSIONS A giant omphalocele with primary skin closure was treated by applying the CST. The procedure can be performed safely while preserving the blood flow to the abdominal wall, even in patients with a history of relaxing incisions on the abdominal skin. The CST is expected to be effective for repairing the large abdominal wall defects seen in giant omphalocele when primary closure is not possible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical management of neuroblastoma (NB) has been performed by open procedures for decades. However, advances in surgical devices and technology have made minimally invasive surgery safe and reproducible. In this study, we compared open and laparoscopic surgery regarding biopsy success and curative resection to determine the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for pediatric patients with adrenal NB. METHODS We reviewed the clinical data of 22 NB patients who underwent surgery from 2006 to 2021 in our institution. All patients with adrenal NB were diagnosed histologically, and we retrospectively analyzed the data. RESULTS The male/female ratio was 16/6. The median age was 2.5 (interquartile range: 2-4) years old, and the laterality was on the right in 13 and on the left in 9. A total of 20 patients underwent a tumor biopsy: 14 via laparotomy, five laparoscopically, and one retroperitoneally. Four patients underwent laparoscopic resection and 11 patients underwent open resection after chemotherapy. Two patients with stage LI underwent primary tumor resection laparoscopically. For curative resection in image-defined risk factor (IDRF)-negative patients, laparoscopic surgery resulted in shorter operation time, with less bleeding and an earlier oral intake. The three IDRF-single-positive patients on the liver (laparoscopic surgery: one patient) had a shorter operation time and less bleeding than the IDRF-multiple positive patients. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic surgery was performed in a limited number of adrenal NB cases. A laparoscopic biopsy for adrenal NB seems to be safe and feasible to perform. Laparoscopic surgery, in carefully selected cases, permits safe and efficient resection of adrenal NB in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The size of the display used for endoscopic surgery has been increasing recently, but the effect of the display size on procedure outcomes is unclear. The present study clarified the effect of display size on the outcomes of endoscopic surgical procedures. METHODS Eight pediatric surgeons performed the laparoscopic fundoplication task using a disease-specific laparoscopic simulator with 3 different display sizes (43, 32, and 24 inches). The movement of the forceps during the task was measured using an electromagnetic spatial three-dimensional position-measuring instrument. The movements of the eyes and head during the task were also measured using glasses-style smart eyewear. We assessed the time required to complete the task, total path length of forceps, average velocity of forceps, number of blinks, number and strength of eye movements, and head tilt of participants during the task. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the required time, total path length, average velocity, number of blinks, number and strength of eye movements, or head tilt among the three display sizes. After the task, participants were asked which display felt the easiest to use. Four participants (50%) answered that the 32-inch display was easiest to use. CONCLUSION This study showed that display size differences did not influence endoscopic surgical procedures. However, 50% of participants felt that the task was easiest using the middle display size. There may be an optimal monitor size for a given procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II.

Abstract
Purpose: Severely neurologically impaired patients sometimes require anti-reflux surgery with preceding gastrostomy. We apply a traction technique for laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) without gastrostomy takedown (GTD) in such cases. We conducted a multicenter review to assess the feasibility of our approach. Materials and Methods: In brief, the traction technique involves left-lateral-traction of the stomach body, right-lateral-traction of the round ligament of the liver, and elevation of the left liver lobe to create a sufficient field for manipulating the forceps. Patients who underwent LF with Nissen's procedures in 2010-2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance. Results: The operative approaches included the traction technique (n = 16; Group 1), GTD and reconstruction (n = 5; Group 2), and LF followed by gastrostomy (n = 92; Group 3). In comparison with Group 1, significant differences were only found in pneumoperitoneum time (Group 1 versus Group 2 versus Group 3: 174.4 minutes versus 250.4 minutes versus 179.5 minutes; P = .0179). Operating time (222.7 minutes versus 303.0 minutes versus 239.7 minutes; P = .0743), duration to full-strength enteral nutrition (10.4 days versus 17.2 days versus 11.0 days; P = .0806), and length of hospital stay (17.2 days versus 31.0 days versus 18.5 days; P = .3247) were equivalent. No re-fundoplication was required in Group 1. Conclusion: The traction technique secures the operative quality and outcome of LF without GTD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of persistently patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in extremely low-birth-weight infants (ELBWIs) requires attention due to the risk of tissue hypoperfusion. We investigated the association between PDA and gastrointestinal perforation. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review from 2012 to 2021. Preterm (≤ 32 weeks) ELBWIs with PDA after birth who developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), focal intestinal perforation (FIP), and idiopathic gastric perforation were included; ELBWIs with congenital heart disease were excluded. Data were analyzed using chi-squared tests with Yates; correction, and Student's t test. RESULTS Five hundred thirty-five preterm ELBWIs were analyzed, including 20 with NEC, 22 with FIP, and 1 with gastric perforation. In NEC and FIP, the ductus arteriosus remained open in 40% (4/10) and 63.6% (14/22) of cases, respectively, and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor treatment showed poor efficacy (p = 0.492 and 0.240). The incidence of perforation in NEC (4/9 vs. 6/11, p = 0.653), mortality in NEC (3/4 vs. 3/6, p = 0.895) and FIP (6/14 vs. 3/8, p = 0.838) did not differ according to whether the PDA persisted or resolved. CONCLUSION The presentation of PDA did not affect the mortality or morbidity of ELBWIs. However, it is essential to consider the possibility of gastrointestinal perforation due to decreased organ blood flow caused by ductal steal.

Abstract
PURPOSE Midgut volvulus is an urgent disease often occurring in neonates. This study clarified the clinical features of midgut volvulus and evaluated predictors to avoid bowel resection. METHODS This bi-center retrospective study enrolled 48 patients who underwent surgery for intestinal malrotation between 2010 and 2022. Patients' background characteristics and preoperative imaging findings were reviewed. RESULTS Midgut volvulus was recognized in 32 patients (66.7%), and 6 (12.5%) underwent bowel resection. Based on a receiver operating curve analysis of bowel resection, the cut-off value of the body weight at birth and at operation were 1984 g [area under the curve (AUC) 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52-0.99] and 2418 g (AUC 0.70, 95% CI 0.46-0.94), respectively. The cut-off value of intestinal torsion was 540° (AUC 0.76, 95% CI 0.57-0.95), and that of the time from the onset to the diagnosis was 12 h (AUC 0.85, 95% CI 0.72-0.98). For midgut volvulus with an intestinal torsion > 540°, the most sensitive preoperative imaging test was ultrasonography (75%) Patients with bloody stool tended to undergo bowel resection. CONCLUSIONS Patients with a low body weight and bloody stool should be confirmed to have whirlpool sign by ultrasonography and scheduled for surgery as soon as possible.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our previous clinical pilot study reported that miconazole (MCZ) prevented morbidity from surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The present study re-investigated this effect in a long-term cohort over 20 years. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study from April 1998 to March 2020. A total of 1169 extremely low-birth-weight infants (ELBWIs) admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit, including 45 with NEC (3.8%), underwent surgery. Since 2002, protocol MCZ administration for 3 weeks has been applied for neonates born before 26 weeks' gestation or weighing under 1000 g. We compared the background characteristics and clinical outcomes between patients with and without MCZ administration. RESULTS The morbidity rate decreased after applying the MCZ protocol, but no improvement in mortality was seen. A propensity score-matched analysis indicated that treated patients by MCZ showed a delay in developing surgical NEC by 12 days. The MCZ protocol also helped increase body weight at surgery. Prophylactic MCZ administration did not improve the neurological development of the language-social and postural-motor domains in the surgical NEC patients. But cognitive-adaptive domain caught up by a chronological age of 3 years old. CONCLUSIONS Revising the protocol to extend the dosing period may improve the outcomes of surgical NEC after the onset.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study clarified the efficacy of repeating laparoscopic surgery training using a disease-specific simulator and investigated the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in pediatric patients after training. METHODS A high-fidelity laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy simulator was used. Four pediatric surgeons performed practice laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy three times using the simulator. The details of forceps manipulation during the task were analyzed. The clinical outcomes of 13 CBD cases treated with laparoscopic surgery in our institution were also evaluated based on medical records. RESULTS The time required to complete the task became significantly shorter each successive time (1st: 1062.18 ± 346.79 s vs. 3rd: 717.44 ± 260.80 s, p = 0.039). There were no significant differences in the total path length of the right forceps (1st: 55.56 ± 23.21 m vs. 3rd: 28.25 ± 17.01 m, p = 0.17), total path length of the left forceps (1st: 47.79 ± 20.79 m vs. 3rd: 31.83 ± 17.62 m, p = 0.17), average velocity of the right forceps (1st: 58.78 ± 21.29 mm/s vs.44.98 ± 10.25 mm/s, p = 0.47), or the average velocity of the left forceps (1st: 50.39 ± 19.25 mm/s vs. 52.26 ± 19.59 mm/s, p = 0.78). Regarding the clinical outcome, all CBD patients underwent laparoscopic surgery performed by practiced pediatric surgeons who had no experience. The operative time was 545.53 ± 91.01 min, and the blood loss was 24.2 ± 25.8 ml. There were no cases of open conversion, intraoperative adverse events, or anastomotic leakage. CONCLUSION Disease-specific simulator training significantly decreased the task performance time by improving the forceps manipulation economy. In addition, simulator training may improve the operative safety and quality of laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy in pediatric CBD patients.

Abstract
Intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IDEPS) is considered to be very rare among extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS), and IDEPS combined with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with sac is extremely rare. The patient was a neonatal girl. Left-sided CDH with a hernia sac was diagnosed based on computed tomography (CT). Thoracoscopic repair was planned for the 5th day after birth. Left CDH with sac was recognized on the posterolateral side and isolated EPS was recognized on the sac. The hernia sac, including the EPS, was resected, and the diaphragm defect was closed. The resected specimen consisted of fibrous connective tissue and pulmonary sequestration (PS) connected with the sac. It was diagnosed as the hybrid form, with features of both type 2 congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and EPS. The postoperative course was uneventful. At 1 year and 9 mo after the operation, no recurrence of herniation or laterality of the diaphragm was recognized.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various prognostic predictors for biliary atresia (BA) have been identified. This study aimed to evaluate the serial changes in the preoperative and postoperative ubiquitous inflammatory biomarkers and their relationship with the outcomes in patients with BA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-three BA patients were retrospectively reviewed to investigate serial levels of ubiquitous inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and lymphocyte ratio, and outcomes. The patients with BA were divided based on their outcomes into two prognostic groups: the native liver survivor group (n = 30) and the survivors with living-donor liver transplant group (n = 13). RESULTS The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that a preoperative lymphocyte ratio of < 61% and CRP value > 0.1 mg/dl predicted a poor outcome. In the ROC curve analysis, the timing of reaching the cut-off value of CRP after Kasai portoenterostomy was postoperative day (POD) 57. The third postoperative week, which was the timing of the discontinuation of steroid therapy, was the branchpoint of inflammatory markers between the two prognostic groups. CONCLUSION The POD 57 CRP level predicts the surgical outcome of Kasai portoenterostomy. The postoperative anti-inflammatory management of BA can be monitored by the ubiquitous inflammatory biomarkers CRP and the preoperative lymphocyte ratio.

Abstract
Laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy is a representative surgical procedure requiring laparoscopic suturing including needle driving and knot tying. Laparoscopic needle driving and knot tying is a highly technically demanding skill, especially in small infants and children. We developed a laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy simulator for training. This simulator was developed for a 1-year-old infant body size based on computed tomography data and reproduced a pneumoperitoneum condition based on 3D scanner data of the clinical situation. Surgeon in training (SITs) of our institution have to acquire practice of laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy using a simulator before performing clinical cases. Thirteen cases of choledochal cyst have been managed at our institution since the introduction of practice using this simulator in 2016. Six SITs performed 13 cases of laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy. There were no cases of anastomotic bile leakage. Laparoscopic disease-specific simulator practice is effective for the acquisition of secure hepaticojejunostomy skills for the treatment of choledochal cysts in children as off-the-job training.

Abstract
We herein report a 13-year-old boy with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and a palpable mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed an abdominal bulky tumor involving the ascending colon causing severe stenosis, with multiple abdominal lymph node metastases detected by positron emission tomography (PET)-CT. Laparoscopic radical resection with right hemicolectomy and lymph node dissection was planned. The bulky tumor was dissected from the retroperitoneum and resected en bloc with the right-side colon and omentum. The preoperatively detected metastatic lymph nodes were resected along with the tumor. A 6-cm longitudinal umbilical incision was made, and the huge tumor was removed, with functional end-to-end anastomosis performed for intestinal reconstruction. The pathological diagnosis was Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration. The postoperative course was uneventful. Laparoscopy-assisted extirpation is feasible for pediatric solid tumors involving other organs, but indications and procedures should be carefully determined based on preoperative imaging, intraoperative findings and surgeon's skills.

Abstract
PURPOSE The intravenous administration of acetaminophen (IAA) has become standard postoperative analgesic management for pediatric surgery. However, the most effective methods of IAA for postoperative acute appendicitis are unclear. We evaluated the analgesic efficacy of scheduled IAA vs on-demand IAA for postoperative acute appendicitis. METHODS Ninety-four patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy in our institution between January 2017 and December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups based on the postoperative pain control protocols. The scheduled IAA group (SA group, n = 42) was managed by scheduled IAA and additional on-demand use of pentazocine as rescue therapy. The on-demand IAA group (ODA group, n = 52) was managed by on-demand IAA as the first choice, with pentazocine as the second choice for pain control. The patients' background characteristics, operative results and postoperative outcomes were reviewed. RESULTS The number of times pain complaints were made per patient per day (NPPD) on postoperative days (POD) 1 and 2 was significantly lower in the SA group than in the ODA group (POD 1; 1.12 ± 1.21 vs 2.62 ± 1.89, p < 0.01; POD 2; 0.45 ± 0.86 vs. 1.31 ± 1.69, p < 0.01). According to pathological findings, NPPD was lower in the SA group than in the ODA group for both phlegmonous appendicitis (0.71 ± 1.01 vs. 2.10 ± 2.13, P < .05) and gangrenous appendicitis (1.33 ± 1.50 vs 2.94 ± 1.68, P < .01). On POD 2, the incidence of gangrenous appendicitis was significantly lower in the SA group than in the ODA group (0.57 ± 0.93 vs 1.78 ± 1.86, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Scheduled IAA may have favorable efficacy for postoperative pain control after emergency surgery for acute appendicitis in pediatric patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we used a near-infrared ray catheter (NIRC) to visualize the urethral line. We herein report our intraoperative visualization technique of the urethra using an illuminating catheter in laparoscopy-assisted anorectoplasty (LAARP) for imperforated anus. PATIENT AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE A 3.0-kg term male neonate with anorectal malformation was delivered. An invertogram revealed the type as intermediate. Transverse colostomy was performed at the left upper abdomen. A recto-bulbar urethral fistula (RBUF) was diagnosed via distal colostogram and voiding cystourethrogram. LAARP was planned at 6 months of age. We performed the operation with four trocars. A 45° 5-mm scope was used to clearly view the deep pelvic space. Before starting rectal dissection, a 6-Fr pig-tail-type NIRC was inserted through the external opening of the urethra to visualize the urethra during the laparoscopic procedure. The catheter tip was placed in the bladder, and excretion of urine was maintained through the NIRC during the procedures. While dissecting the deep pelvic space between the posterior wall of the urethra and anterior wall of the rectum, the exact line of the urethra was clearly confirmed by overlay images of the NIRC. The RBUF was dissected safely using this innovative image-guided technique. Anoplasty was performed between the rectal stump and perineal skin. The postoperative course was uneventful. Oral intake was started on postoperative day 1. Postoperative dynamic urography showed no complications. CONCLUSION An NIRC is useful for detecting the urethra during LAARP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Representative neonatal surgical diseases are often complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). We reviewed our decade of experience from the perspective of the prognosis and report on the management of infants with CHD. METHODS Cases with and without CHD between 2011 and 2020 were retrospectively compared. Qualitative data were analyzed using a chi-square test with Yates' correction, and quantitative data were compared using Student's t-test. RESULTS Of the 275 neonatal surgical cases, 36 had CHD (13.1%). Ventricular septal defect was the most common cardiac anomaly, followed by atrial septal defect. Esophageal atresia showed the highest complication rate of CHD (43.8%, 14/32) followed by duodenal atresia (38.5%, 10/26). The mortality rates of patients with and without CHD (22.2% [8/36] vs. 1.3% [3/239]) were significantly different (χ2 = 30.6, p < 0.0001). Of the eight deaths with CHD, six patients had cyanotic complex CHD. Notably, four of these patients died from progression of inappropriate hemodynamics in the remote period after definitive non-cardiac surgery. CONCLUSION Considering its high-mortality, the presence of CHD, especially cyanotic heart disease, is an important issue to consider in the treatment of neonatal surgical diseases. Pediatric surgeons should be alert for changes in hemodynamics after surgery, as these may affect mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients require total parenteral nutrition (TPN) following massive small bowel resection (SBR), which may cause intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), a life-threatening complication. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) acts as a potent hepatocyte mitogen with anti inflammatory and antioxidant actions. The present study evaluated the effect of recombinant human HGF (rh-HGF) on SBR and subsequent IFALD using a parentally fed rat model of SBS. METHODS Rats underwent jugular vein catheterization for continuous TPN and 90% SBR. They were divided into 2 groups: TPN alone (SBS/TPN group: n = 7) or TPN plus the intravenous administration of rh-HGF (0.3 mg/kg/day) (SBS/TPN+HGF group: n = 7). On day 7, their tissues and stool were harvested to evaluate the effects of HGF. RESULTS Regarding the histological findings, based on the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score, the SBS/TPN+HGF group showed significantly less hepatic steatosis and inflammatory cell infiltration than the SBS/TPN group (NAFLD activity score, 4.00 ± 1.83 vs. 1.00 ± 0.82; p < 0.01). The SBS/TPN+HGF group showed a higher expression of Farnesoid X receptor in the liver and lower expression of Toll-like receptor 4 in the ileum than the SBS/TPN group. Regarding the composition of the bacterial gut microbiota, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were decreased in the SBS/TPN+HGF group compared with the SBS/TPN group. CONCLUSION In our SBS with TPN rat model, rh-HGF administration had a preventive effect against hepatic steatosis and dysbiosis. rh-HGF may therefore be a potentially effective therapeutic agent for SBS and subsequent IFALD. TYPE OF STUDY Experimental research.

Abstract
Background
The mortality rate of esophageal atresia (EA) has significantly improved, but late complications remain problematic. We evaluated the physical growth, late complications, and social prognosis of postoperative patients with EA who have reached 15 years of age.
Methods
EA patients who were treated at our institution from 1984 to 2003 were enrolled. The follow-up, physical growth at the last visit, late complications and treatment, academic status, and employment situation were evaluated.
Results
Twenty-nine EA patients were registered, and the 23 surviving patients (79.3%) were followed. Anthropometry at the latest visit tended to be below the standard values. Fundoplication was performed in 6 (26.1%) of 9 (39.1%) patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Anastomotic stenosis was found in 12 patients (52.2%), and 2 (8.7%) were treated with re-anastomosis. Thirteen patients were attending a regular school, and one was attending a school for disabled children. Four had jobs from 18 years of age. Follow-up was aborted during early childhood in nine patients.
Conclusions
The physical size of EA was smaller than in the healthy population of the same age. Late complications had not affected the physical growth but were sometimes recognized in adolescence. The social prognosis of the patients was largely favorable.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The distribution of board-certified pediatric surgeons (BCPSs) in Japan is highly biased. While Prefecture M has one of the smallest numbers of BCPSs per pediatric population, neighboring Prefecture K has one of the largest numbers of BCPSs per pediatric population. We examined the effect of BCPSs population on laparoscopic surgery and postoperative management and outcomes. Materials and Methods: We compared postoperative duration to full-dose enteral nutrition, postoperative hospital stay, and complications of neurologically impaired patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication in two prefectures from 2006 to 2019. Results: Laparoscopic fundoplication was performed in 17 patients in Prefecture M and 63 in K. The mean operative time was 248.8 ± 79.9 minutes in Prefecture M and 260.8 ± 94.8 in K (P = .64). The median number of days to full-dose enteral nutrition was 11.5 in Prefecture M and 10 in K (P = .29). The median postoperative hospital stay was 14 days in Prefecture M and 15 days in K (P = .38). Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases in Prefecture M and in 10 in K. The incidence was significantly higher in Prefecture M than in K (P = .041). Conclusion: Areas with insufficient numbers of BCPSs have a higher risk of complications in laparoscopic surgery than areas with sufficient numbers.

Abstract
We herein report a 20-month-old boy who underwent laparoscopic Ladd's surgery. He showed intermittent bilious vomiting after birth and received a definitive diagnosis of intestinal malrotation. Laparoscopic Ladd's procedure was performed with four trocars. Midgut volvulus (180° counterclockwise) was resolved by retrogradely tracing the small intestine from the ileocecal region. After dividing Ladd's ligament, fluorescent navigation with indocyanine green was used. We decided where to dissect the mesenteries by confirming the vascular perfusion through clamping the tissue. Fibrous adhesions were gradually dissected, and it was confirmed that the mesenteric root was sufficiently broadening. Surgeons hesitate to dissect the mesenteric root in laparoscopic procedures compared with open procedures because of the narrow operative view and the risk of vascular injury. Laparoscopic Ladd's procedure using indocyanine green to confirm intestinal blood flow is safe and useful for the small working space in pediatric patients with intestinal malrotation and midgut volvulus.

Abstract
Background Enteric duplication is a congenital disease that occurs throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. Although it may sometimes cause intestinal volvulus, a few reports have described cases of enteric duplication twisted on itself. We experienced a rare pediatric case of long-segment tubular ileal duplication showing torsion. Torsion of enteric duplication is extremely rare. We herein report a pediatric case showing unusual torsion of ileal duplication requiring emergency surgery. Case presentation A 3-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic luminal structure with a blind end and fluid collection in the pelvic cavity. CT also showed no findings of ileus or intestinal dilatation except for a cystic luminal structure. The preoperative diagnosis was torsion of Meckel’s diverticulum. The patient underwent emergent explorative diagnostic laparoscopy. As a result, a necrotic luminal structure and bloody ascites were recognized, and small-scale laparotomy was performed. Long-segment ileal duplication was recognized. The long-segment tubular ileal duplication shared the anti-mesenteric side of the intestinal wall along one-third of its length. The residual two-thirds of its length was free from the ileum and its blind end was twisted in a manner that looked similar to Meckel’s diverticulum. Normal ileum and the duplication, including the twisted necrotic portion, were resected, and ileal anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. A pathological examination confirmed the definitive diagnosis of enteric duplication. Conclusions We reported the unusual presentation of intestinal duplication mimicking torsion of Meckel’s diverticulum. Enteric duplication shows various clinical symptoms and presentations. We must understand that the classification of digestive enteric duplication is diverse with a variety of associated clinical symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate potential predictors of focal intestinal perforation (FIP) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) among coagulation and fibrinolysis markers at birth. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of FIP patients and their coagulation and fibrinolysis markers at birth between 2010 and 2019, and matched patients according to gestational age. FIP was diagnosed based on macroscopic intestinal perforation with a punched-out lesion without necrosis. Patient characteristics and blood test results, including coagulation and fibrinolysis marker levels, were compared between the groups. RESULTS Two hundred forty ELBWIs were enrolled in this study (FIP, n = 18; controls, n = 222). In the FIP group, the gestational age at birth was significantly younger (p = 0.023) and the birth weight was significantly lower (p = 0.007) in comparison to the control group. Furthermore, the FIP group showed significantly lower levels of fibrinogen (p = 0.027) and factor XIII (F-XIII) (p = 0.007). The receiver operating characteristics curves for fibrinogen and F-XIII revealed that the 95% confidence intervals of fibrinogen and F-XIII were 0.530-0.783 (p = 0.027), and 0.574-0.822 (p = 0.007), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report focusing on coagulation and fibrinolysis markers in FIP patients at birth. The fibrinogen and F-XIII values at birth are potential predictors of FIP in ELBWIs. TYPE OF STUDY Study of Diagnostic Test (Case Control Study) LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retroperitoneal teratomas (RPTs) are rare in infants. We report our experience of treating pediatric patients with RPTs over many years at a single institution, with the aim of developing a safe and secure operative strategy for RPTs in infants. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent treatment for RPTs in our institution between April, 1984 and December, 2017, to analyze their background and clinical data. The diagnosis of RPT was confirmed histologically in all patients. RESULTS The subjects of this retrospective analysis were 14 pediatric patients (female, n = 11; male, n = 4), ranging in age from 6 days to 12 years, 11 (73.3%) of whom were under 1 year of age. Complete surgical resection was performed in all patients. The tumor ruptured during surgery in four (26.7%) patients and perioperative vessel injuries occurred in six (40.0%) patients, resulting in nephrectomy in one (6.7%). Three (20.0%) patients suffered unilateral renal dysfunction as a surgical complication. Only one patient received postoperative chemotherapy. All patients were free of disease at the time of writing. CONCLUSION Perioperative complications are not uncommon during surgery for RPTs, despite their benign nature. Preoperative imaging evaluation is important and operative management may be challenging. Because of the favorable prognosis and the frequency of adverse events in surgery, partial resection or split excision is sometimes unavoidable. Meticulous follow-up for recurrence is required for such patients.

Abstract
Background Accessory liver lobe (ALL) is a rare liver malformation. An ALL develops due to malformation of the endodermal caudal foregut and segmentation of the hepatic bud in the third week of gestation. Most ALLs are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during abdominal surgery. The incidence of ALL is < 1% in patients who undergo abdominal surgery. However, some ALLs twist and cause acute abdomen. We experienced a pediatric case of ALL torsion in a patient who underwent elective laparoscopic surgery. Case presentation The 5-year-old girl had a 3-month history of epigastralgia and vomiting, which occurred every 2 weeks. Abdominal ultrasonography with color Doppler imaging revealed an 11.8 × 13.6 mm nonvascular lesion with mixed echogenicity near the round ligament of the liver. Enhanced computed tomography confirmed a 14 × 16 × 20 mm low-attenuation mass surrounded by a hyperdense line and disproportionate fat stranding on the right side of the round ligament of the liver. There was no ascites or hemorrhage. These findings suggested an abscess of the round ligament of the liver. Her symptoms improved with the administration of oral antibiotics; thus, we planned to perform elective exploratory laparoscopy and subsequent resection. Two trocars (5 mm) were inserted through a multichannel port device at the umbilicus and one trocar (3 mm) was inserted at the right lateral abdomen. Upon observation of the abdominal cavity, the omentum was observed adhering to the round ligament of the liver. Macroscopic observation revealed no apparent mass lesions. We performed adhesiolysis of the omentum from the round ligament of the liver using a vessel sealing system. We performed resection at the site at which adhesion had formed between the round ligament of the liver with the surrounding tissue using a vessel sealing system and the resected specimen was extracted through the umbilical wound. The postoperative course was uneventful. A pathological examination revealed necrotic liver tissue. The resected tissue was founded to be an ALL with ischemic change. Conclusions The recurrent abdominal pain was induced by torsion of the ALL. Pediatric surgeons should consider ALL torsion as a differential diagnosis for epigastralgia of unknown etiology.

Abstract
PURPOSE In general, patients with anorectal malformation (ARM) undergo surgical treatment at around 6 months of age in Japan. We aimed to clarify whether the timing of a definitive operation affects the long-term bowel function. METHODS Patient data were collected from 1984 to 2007. Fifty-two male patients with high- and intermediate-type ARM were enrolled. Patients were classified into two groups based on their operative period: the early group (EG) underwent anorectoplasty at < 5 months of age (n = 22); the late group (LG) underwent anorectoplasty at ≥ 5 months (n = 30). The bowel function was evaluated at 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 years of age using the evacuation score (ES) of the Japan Society of Anorectal Malformation Study Group. RESULTS The total score and four functional outcomes improved chronologically with age. The constipation score in the EG showed significantly better improvement in comparison to the LG. The total score and the incontinence score in the EG were significantly higher than those in the LG at 11 years of age. CONCLUSION The long-term bowel function in the EG was better than that in the LG. Anorectoplasty at an early age was important for achieving a better postoperative bowel function in ARM patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) sometimes induces parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) acts as a potent hepatocyte mitogen anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. We aimed to evaluate the effect of HGF on PNALD in a rat model of TPN. METHODS A catheter was placed in the right jugular vein for 7-day continuous TPN. All rats were divided into three groups: TPN alone (TPN group), TPN plus intravenous HGF at 0.3 mg/kg/day [TPN + HGF (low) group], and TPN plus HGF at 1.0 mg/kg/day [TPN + HGF (high) group]. On day 7, livers were harvested and the histology, inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis were evaluated. RESULTS Histologically, lipid droplets were apparent in the TPN group, but decreased in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups. The histological nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity scores in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups were significantly lower than that in the TPN group (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the inflammatory cytokine levels of the three groups. The caspase-9 expression levels in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups were significantly decreased in comparison to that in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The intravenous administration of HGF attenuated hepatic steatosis induced by 7-day TPN dose dependently.

Abstract
PURPOSE Composite lipid emulsion (CLE) has been used for intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) to compensate for the disadvantages of soybean oil lipid emulsion (SOLE) or fish oil lipid emulsion (FOLE). However, the influence of its administration is unclear. We evaluated the effects of these emulsions on IFALD using a rat model of the short-bowel syndrome. METHODS We performed jugular vein catheterization and 90% small bowel resection in Sprague-Dawley rats and divided them into four groups: control (C group), regular chow with intravenous administration of saline; and total parenteral nutrition co-infused with SOLE (SOLE group), CLE (CLE group) or FOLE (FOLE group). RESULTS Histologically, obvious hepatic steatosis was observed in the SOLE and CLE groups but not the FOLE group. The liver injury grade of the steatosis and ballooning in the FOLE group was significantly better than in the SOLE group (p < 0.05). The TNF-α levels in the liver in the FOLE group were significantly lower than in the SOLE group (p < 0.05). Essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) was not observed in any group. CONCLUSION Fish oil lipid emulsion attenuated hepatic steatosis without EFAD, while CLE induced moderate hepatic steatosis. The administration of CLE requires careful observation to prevent PN-induced hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
Background A communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) group IB is very rare congenital malformation. Group IB is associated with tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia (TEF-EA) and a portion of one lung arisen from the esophagus (Gerle et al. in N Engl J Med. 278:1413–1419, 1968). The coexistence of TEF-EA and dextrocardia is also a rare and challenging setting for repair of TEF-EA. Therefore, the thoracoscopic surgery for TEF-EA require the technical devise because of the small operative space. We herein report a rare case of CBPFM group IB with intralobar sequestration of lung and a successful performing of thoracoscopic surgery for EA with dextrocardia in VACTERL association. Case presentation A 2.2-kg term male neonate was born with an anal atresia, coarctation of the aorta, TEF-EA, renal anomalies, radial hemimelia, limb abnormalities (VACTERL association) and hypoplasia of the right lung with dextrocardia. The patient developed respiratory distress after admission. A two-stage operation for the TEF-EA was planned because of multiple anomalies and cardiac condition. In the neonatal period, esophageal banding at the gastroesophageal junction and gastrostomy were performed to establish enteral nutrition. After gaining body weight and achieving a stable cardiac condition, thoracoscopic surgery for TEF-EA was performed. The thoracoscopic findings revealed a small working space due to dextrocardia. To obtain a sufficient working space and to perform secure esophageal anastomosis, an additional 3-mm assistant port was inserted. To close the upper and lower esophagus, anchoring sutures of the esophagus were placed and were pulled to suspend the anastomotic site. Esophageal anastomosis was successfully performed. An esophagogram after TEF-EA surgery showed the connection between the lower esophagus and right lower lung. The definitive diagnosis was CBPFM group IB with intralobar sequestration. The thoracoscopic surgery was performed again for establishing oral intake. After transection of the bronchoesophageal fistula, the patient could perform oral feeding without pneumonia or respiratory distress. Conclusions CBPFM type IB with intralobar sequestration is a rare condition. CBPFM type IB should be considered for a patients with respiratory symptom after radical operation for TEF-EA. In the present case, suspending the anastomotic site was effective and useful in thoracoscopic surgery for a TEF-EA patient with dextrocardia.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY We previously showed an increased number of smaller portal vein (PV) branches in the portal areas of liver biopsy specimens of biliary atresia (BA) patients. We evaluated the correlation between this histopathological feature and the prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five consecutive patients with BA encountered between 2000 and 2012 were classified into three prognostic groups based on their postoperative outcomes: Excellent (n = 11) for native-liver survivors with a normal liver function, Good (n = 6) for native-liver survivors with liver dysfunction, and Poor (n = 8) for survivors after liver transplant or on a waiting list. Data from morphometrical analyses, including the fibrotic portal area, numbers of PVs, diameter and total area of PV branches, were statistically compared among the three groups. MAIN RESULTS The number of PV branches per unit area of the whole-liver specimen in the poor prognostic group was significantly lower than that in the excellent group (3.1 ± 0.6 vs. 5.2 ± 2.0/mm2, p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in the other parameters. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report on the relationships between morphometrically analyzed PV branches and the postoperative course in BA patients. The portal venous system is involved as the primary lesion in BA.

Abstract
We report a 38-month-old Japanese male with premature chromatid separation/mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome bearing biallelic BUB1B germline mutations who suffered from bilateral Wilms tumor. After right nephrectomy, dactinomycin monotherapy was administered for the left Wilms tumor; however, severe adverse reaction prevented the patient from receiving further chemotherapy. Left nephrectomy was then performed without postoperative chemotherapy. The patient survived for 15 months after bilateral nephrectomy without peritoneal relapse, metastasis of Wilms tumor, or the occurrence of rhabdomyosarcoma and maintained a good quality of life while receiving peritoneal dialysis at home.
