Long-term effects of Hirschsprung disease in adults: meta-analysis and patient-level regression study Open
Background There has been an increasing number of single-centre studies describing the long-term outcomes of patients with Hirschsprung disease. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on long-term bowel, urological, and s…

High rectal atresia anastomosed using magnets: A case report Open
Introduction: Surgical access to anorectal malformations (ARM) can be difficult from abdominal, perineal and transanal approaches. We present a case in which magnetic compression anastomosis was successfully employed to achieve a minimally…

High Frequency of CTNNB1 Variants Associated with Benign and Malignant Liver Tumors in Patients with Congenital Porto-Systemic Shunts Open
Introduction: Patients born with congenital porto-systemic shunts have been shown to have a high risk of benign and malignant liver tumors in otherwise healthy livers. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic landscape of liver tumors in p…

3D-printed model for surgical planning in congenital porto-systemic shunt: A case report Open
Introduction: Hepatobiliary surgery can be challenging due to the complex nature of variations in liver anatomy, particularly in small children. Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPS – Abernethy syndrome) are increasingly recognized with a …

Functional constipation refractory to medical management: The anal sphincters are the problem Open
Aim: Most patients with functional constipation (FC) improve with medical treatment. For those with refractory symptoms, we propose a comprehensive and multidisciplinary work-up and decision-making approach to therapy. Methods: We retrospe…

Ultrasonographic features associated with previous torsion and the impact of surgery in managing neonatal ovarian cysts: a 20-year single-centre retrospective study Open
Purpose To identify markers of previous ovarian torsion and outline the outcomes according to US appearance and operative management. Methods A retrospective single-centre review of neonatal ovarian cysts from January 2000 to January 2020.…

Serum FGF19 predicts outcomes of Kasai portoenterostomy in biliary atresia Open
Background and Aims: Outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) for biliary atresia remain highly variable for unclear reasons. As reliable early biomarkers predicting KPE outcomes are lacking, we studied the prognostic value of FGF19. Ap…

Choledochoceles in children: The elephant abnormality Open
A choledochocele is a rare congenital abnormality of the extrahepatic bile duct characterised by localised dilatation of the distal common bile duct within the wall of the duodenum. We present two children with a long history of undiagnose…

Liver secretin receptor predicts portoenterostomy outcomes and liver injury in biliary atresia Open
Biliary atresia (BA) is a chronic neonatal cholangiopathy characterized by fibroinflammatory bile duct damage. Reliable biomarkers for predicting native liver survival (NLS) following portoenterostomy (PE) surgery are lacking. Herein we ex…
View article: Prognostic and Pathophysiologic Significance of IL-8 (CXCL8) in Biliary Atresia
Prognostic and Pathophysiologic Significance of IL-8 (CXCL8) in Biliary Atresia Open
Interleukin (IL)-8 (CXCL8), a chemokine involved in neutrophil recruitment, has been implicated in ductular reaction and liver fibrogenesis. We studied liver and serum IL-8 expression in a large biliary atresia (BA) cohort and explored its…

Histopathology of livers in patients with congenital portosystemic shunts (Abernethy malformation): a case series of 22 patients Open
Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) is a congenital anomaly resulting in partial or complete diversion of the portal blood into the systemic circulation. The literature on the histological changes in livers of patients with CPSS is limit…

Decellularised skeletal muscles allow functional muscle regeneration by promoting host cell migration Open
Pathological conditions affecting skeletal muscle function may lead to irreversible volumetric muscle loss (VML). Therapeutic approaches involving acellular matrices represent an emerging and promising strategy to promote regeneration of s…

Glucocorticosteroids for infants with biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy Open
The two meta-analysed randomised clinical trials present insufficient evidence to determine the effects of using glucocorticosteroids versus placebo after Kasai portoenterostomy in infants with biliary atresia on any of the primary or seco…
