Outcomes of robotic-assisted excision of paratubal cysts in a pediatric cohort: A multicentric retrospective study and systematic review

Introduction: Paratubal and paraovarian cysts are benign lesions located between the ovary and fallopian tube, often of mesothelial origin. Although typically asymptomatic, larger cysts may cause pelvic pain or complications requiring surgery. Management depends on cyst size, symptoms, and patient age, with fertility preservation essential in pediatric populations. This multicenter study evaluates robotic-assisted excision of paratubal cysts in children, alongside a literature review. Materia...

Primary Liver Transplantation for Biliary Atresia: Another Piece of the Puzzle

Background: Primary liver transplantation (PLT) remains a controversial alternative strategy for children with biliary atresia (BA). This national study of BA management in Italy over a 10-year period aimed to better define the indications, limitations, and outcomes of PLT. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter, observational study based on the Italian BA Registry, including 312 infants with BA managed in Italy between January 2012 and December 2021. All children who underwent PLT we...

Simulation of Water Flow in Porous Media With Different Geometries. Effects of The Presence of a Non-Negligible Capillary Fringe.

Il flusso d'acqua attraverso materiali porosi con una superficie libera è una questione importante nell'idrologia del suolo, nell'idrogeologia, nell'idraulica e nell'ingegneria geotecnica. Ciò è particolarmente vero per strutture come le dighe in terra, gli argini di difesa dalle inondazioni e i sistemi naturali di versante. Gli approcci analitici classici assumono un flusso completamente saturo, trascurando gli effetti capillari nella zona parzialmente satura al di sopra della falda freatica...
