Key Takeaways
- Thoracoscopic repair of long-gap esophageal atresia using internal traction with slipknots demonstrated superior technical innovation.
- Liver resection may reduce mortality by 50% in extrahepatic biliary atresia, though further data validation is needed.
- Long-term bowel function analysis in persistent cloaca identifies key risk factors for defecation problems requiring targeted management.

We've seen the 4 presentations and we are ready to vote. So first, we had from WAs, Doctor Shilpa Sharma with exploring alternative pathways of stem cell perforation for hepatic regeneration by partial liver resection in extrahepatic biliiatricia. And second for WhatsApps too, we have Doctor Toshio Haromaz with analysis of potential risk factors for defecation problems and their bowel management based on the long-term bowel function in patients with persistent cloacia. Rennie, do you want to say the next two? Yes. So then representing IPEG, we had thoracoscopic approach for long gap esophageal atresia using the internal traction technique with the very fancy slipknots that I'm hoping someday someone teaches me how to do, and that is by Dr. Darius Pytkowski. And then finally from Ibero Americana, Dr. Johanna Gerardo with Epidemiological Study of Pediatric Robotic Surgery at their institution. Awesome, so, um, remember you have the poles in the right of the screen, both. And we are going to see. Who is going to be the winner? Let's do we have, oh, I think we. We have a clear winner here. Do you wanna say it, Todd? Yeah, so it looks like Darius, uh, is the predominant winner here, and I will tell you, in my thought that, uh, that procedure is so, uh, beneficial for us to learn how to do. I wanna do a whole thing on just sliding knots now. Um, however, I will say if In my opinion, I'm just giving an opinion here. If it's really true that resecting liver cuts mortality down by 50%, I, I just am curious about the data. I'm curious if anyone was there. I would love to know more about the data, but since we couldn't talk to her, I, I, I, I don't know. Um, I think that also could be a huge, um, breakthrough in pediatric surgery. But I, I think all of these were phenomenal. Um, and Darius, congratulations, you're moving on to the next heat. Oh that was awesome. That was very much really, really great. Thank you. They can't leave yet now, Darius. You have to stay. I'm very happy, really. Thank you very much. Appreciate you.
