Resumen: Introducción: la invaginación intestinal es la causa más frecuente de obstrucción intestinal en menores de tres años. Habitualmente, tras la desinvaginación, los pacientes permanecen ingresados 24-48 horas. Recientemente se ha propuesto el manejo ambulatorio mediante observación clínica durante 12 horas. Nuestro objetivo es valorar la implementación de esta actitud terapéutica. Material y métodos: revisión retrospectiva de las invaginaciones intestinales atendidas en nuestro centro durante los últimos 12 años. Resultados: se incluye 458 pacientes, el 60,3% de ellos varones. Edad media de 24,1 meses, siendo la localización ileocólica la más frecuente (77,7%). El 2,4% presentó alguna causa secundaria. Se realizó neumoenema en 370 niños, requiriendo cirugía el 10,7%. Se registraron 78 recidivas en 56 pacientes (12,2%), 15 de ellos intrahospitalariamente. El tiempo medio para la reintroducción de la alimentación y la estancia media fueron de 28,6 y 64,4 horas respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre aquellos que recidivaron y los que no (60,8 frente a 69 horas; t = -0,4; p = 0,689). No se registraron diferencias entre el tiempo de evolución clínica y la tasa de éxito del neumoenema (t = 0,478; p = 0,634); aunque hubo diferencias en la necesidad de intervención quirúrgica (χ² = 5,604; p = 0,018), no hubo ninguna complicación. La reintroducción precoz de la alimentación no se relacionó con más recidivas ni diferencias entre los grupos (30,2% en el grupo que recidivó y 23,1% en el grupo sin recidiva, p = 0,608). Conclusiones: el ingreso hospitalario más allá de 12 horas no disminuye la tasa de complicaciones. Por tanto, consideramos que la observación en urgencias tras la desinvaginación durante 12 horas es una medida segura y coste-efectiva. Abstract: Introduction: intussusception is the most frequent cause of bowel obstruction in children under three years. Usually, after reduction, patients remain admitted for 24-48 hours. Ambulatory management has recently been proposed, based on clinical experience of follow-up of the patient's evolution in the Emergency Department of the hospital during the following 12 hours. Our objective is to evaluate the implementation of this new therapeutic attitude. Material and methods: retrospective review of all the intussusceptions treated at our center during the last 12 years. Results: 458 patients were included, 60.3% ot them were male. Mean age was 24.1 months (SD 24.6), with the ileo-colic location being the most frequent (77.7%). 2.4% had secondary causes. A pneumoenema was performed in 370 children, requiring surgery 10.7%. There were 78 relapses in 56 patients (12.2%), 15 of them during admission. The mean time to reintroduce feeding and the mean hospital stay was 28.6 and 64.4 hours respectively, with no significant difference between those who relapsed and those who did not (60.8 vs 69 hours, t = -0.4, p = 0.689). There was no relationship between a longer clinical evolution and pneumoenema succeed rate (t = 0.478, p = 0.634). Although there were differences in the need for surgical intervention (χ² = 5.604, p = 0.018), there were no complications. Early reintroduction of feeding was not related to any recurrences or differences between groups (30.2% in the relapsed group and 23.1% in the non-recurrent group, p = 0.608). Conclusions: hospital admission beyond 12 hours does not decrease the rate of complications. Therefore, we consider that outpatient observation for 12 hours after reduction is a safe and economical measure.

- Abstract
The medical profession is currently undergoing a significant transformation. In recent decades, we have seen the emergence and implementation of new diagnostic tools, therapeutic targets, and technical procedures that have revolutionized our clinical practice. These resources have undoubtedly improved patient outcomes but have also led to excessive reliance on technology. This overreliance can limit the new generation's capacity to provide humane and comprehensive patient care and develop critical thinking skills. In this article, we reflect on the urgent impact of this trend on pediatric international cooperation and propose workable solutions to this problem. We stress the importance of maintaining a patient-centered approach in the face of these technological advancements, as it ensures that the patient's needs remain at the forefront of our practice., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

- Abstract
Objective: Retrospective and descriptive study of patients with diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease (HD) in whom transanal pull-through was performed in our center., Material and Methods: All patients with diagnosis of HD in whom transanal surgery was performed between 2006 and 2018 in our center were selected. In all cases laparoscopic biopsy was performed in the previous dilated area. Once intraoperatory biopsy revealed the presence of ganglionic cells, transanal De la Torre surgery was performed, until reaching the localization of the biopsied area. Circular automatic suture was performed in all cases., Results: Surgery was performed in 21 patients (16 boys and 5 girls) with a median age of 12 months (5-62). No patient had enterocolitis. The median resection length was 14.5 cm (3-45) and no intraoperative complications happened. One patient (5%) developed a rectosigmoideal abscess, which was solved with antibiotic. One case (5%) needed another surgery due to umbilical trochar eventration. No patient had enterocolitis after the surgery. One patient (5%) had stenosis, solved by its section and other case (5%) had sleeve compression which was solved by laparoscopic section. After a median follow up of 97 months (12-159), one child (5%) developed encopresis, which is treated with periodic anal irrigations and other patient (5%) has chronic constipation, which require periodic enemas. The rest of the patients have no symptomatology., Conclusion: In conclusion, in our series of cases, transanal pull-through with circular automatic suture was a safe and useful technique. It has a low rate of operative and postoperative complications and provides good prospective results.

- Abstract
Aim: To describe our experience as a tertiary center on the use of laparoscopic adrenal surgery in children., Material and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study of patients with pathologic adrenal masses undergoing laparoscopic adrenal surgery, between 2012 and 2015. Epidemiological variables, surgical technique, complications and follow-up were studied., Results: Nine patients were studied with a median age of 62 months (5-184). In 3 patients (33.33%) there was a prenatal diagnosis. Three patients had symptoms: hypertension and renal failure, precocious puberty, and an infected lymph node secondary to metastasis. In the rest, findings were incidental. In five patients the lesion was located on the right side and in four, on the left. The operation was performed laparoscopically. There was one conversion to open surgery because of poor visualization of the surgical field and no major intra- or postoperative complications were noted. The average hospital stay was 4 days (2-5). Postoperative pain was controlled during the first 24 hours with first step painkillers. Diagnoses were histologically confirmed: two ganglioneuroma, three neuroblastoma, bronchogenic cyst, pulmonary sequestration and adenoma. Mean follow-up was 22 months (1-53)., Conclusions: In our series this surgical approach is associated with low morbidity and mortality, early recovery, shorter hospital stay and satisfactory results. We therefore propose laparoscopic adrenalectomy as a good alternative for approaching the pathologic adrenal masses in the pediatric population.
