A new study has found that metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for paediatric obesity, resulting in significant long-term weight reduction and improvements in various metabolic parameters. The study, published in Scientific Reports, analyzed data from 12 studies involving 451 patients aged 5-19 years who underwent either Roux-en-Y

The importance of survivorship care for children who have undergone cancer treatment cannot be overstated. Despite its significance, research has shown that follow-up care remains suboptimal. A recent study published in the Journal of Cancer Survivorship has explored the factors associated with long-term survivor clinic (LTSC) nonattendance, delayed initiation, and

Pediatric orthopaedic surgeries for complex hip and spine conditions, particularly in children with cerebral palsy, are associated with high complication rates. Malnutrition, common in this population, contributes to poor wound healing, infections, and prolonged recovery. A new systematic review aims to evaluate the existing literature on perioperative nutritional assessment and
