The risk of postoperative restenosis in children is notably elevated, and this tendency might be associated with the inherent anatomical fragility and robust tissue proliferation capacity in children. Comprehensive preoperative imaging assessment, individualized surgical plan development, standardized drug—eluting stent implantation, structured long—term postoperative follow-up, and postoperative care may be conducive to enhancing the prognosis of acquired external auditory canal stenosis in children. Multicenter prospective studies with a larger sample size are required to further validate the optimal treatment strategy for acquired external auditory canal stenosis in children.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1769108 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1769108 2026-05-14T00:00:00Z Original Research Cemal BilirZeynep Ayvat Öcal https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1802899 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1802899 2026-05-14T00:00:00Z Original Research Chuankai LvZhiru WangCheng ZhangXin WeiXiaoman Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1726347 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1726347 2026-05-14T00:00:00Z Original Research Jacob GeniziMoran CymbrowiczLilach Shemer-MeiriNoam GanzAyellet SadehRony CohenRajech SharkiaAbdelnaser ZalanSalam Abd El Karim MuradEsther Ganelin-CohenMuhammad Mahajnah https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1794967 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1794967 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Case Report Yuming WangTingliang FuShuai SunYewen WangXiaoliang XuLei Geng https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1818097 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1818097 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Study Protocol Zhaokun GuoZhongjing ZhangYing JiangJun ZhouKe-Heng DengWen-Xiang ZhuXiangyou ZhaoPan Jiao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1814850 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1814850 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Review Bo YangYi ZhouShipeng Tang  0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that in large sample size studies, the operation time in the single-port laparoscopic group was significantly shorter (MD = −4.27, 95% CI: −7.25–1.28, P < 0.001), and in small sample size studies, the recurrence rate advantage of the single-port laparoscopic group was more significant (RR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.25–0.71, P = 0.001).ConclusionTransumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery has a significant advantage in reducing postoperative recurrence rate in the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia. In large sample size studies, its advantage in operation time is more evident, and its safety is comparable to that of two-port laparoscopic surgery. For medical centers with mature single-port operation techniques, single-port laparoscopy can be the preferred surgical method; for complex hernias or when technical conditions are limited, two-port laparoscopy remains a reliable choice.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1836614 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1836614 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Original Research Debao LiShan ZhengXianmin XiaoYangyang MaQingchi ZhangChenbin DongWeijing HeGong ChenChun ShenSong Sun https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1792500 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1792500 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Review Elena Hernández-GarcíaBarbara Burgos-BlascoNoemi Güemes-VillahozLaura Morales-FernandezJose Ignacio Fernandez-VigoEnrique Santos-BuesoRosario Gomez-de-LiañoJulian García-Feijóo https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1805856 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1805856 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Case Report Matteo GiudiceMilena ViggianoChiara VassalloAlice NovakLaura ValfrèIrma CapolupoAndrea DottaAndrea ConfortiMarco BonitoMaurizio GuidaLeonardo CaforioIsabella Fabietti https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1752616 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1752616 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Case Report Jiejun XiaKunshan ChenZhenyin LiuXiaoyun TanShifeng XieHaibo Li https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1749724 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1749724 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z Original Research Neslihan GulcinIlkay TosunCeyhan Sahin https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1803495 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1803495 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z Clinical Trial Ming-wen YangYu-zhu CaiLing-li ZhangJun WangRan TangYing-ying Sun https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1824435 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1824435 2026-04-29T00:00:00Z Case Report Shiqi LiuJian JiSiqi LiYinmin SunYufeng Li 60,500 ng/mL), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) (63.8 ng/mL), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (575 U/L), which were suggestive of a germ cell tumor with comprehensive reference to clinical manifestations and imaging findings. The patient underwent complete surgical resection on postnatal day four. Histopathological examination confirmed a grade III immature teratoma with negative resection margins. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with declining inflammatory markers at one-week follow-up.ConclusionsThis case highlights the importance of including gastric teratoma in the differential diagnosis of neonatal abdominal masses, the diagnostic value of integrated imaging and tumor marker evaluation, and the necessity of complete surgical resection. Furthermore, it demonstrates the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the timely diagnosis and management of rare neonatal tumors.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1811576 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1811576 2026-04-28T00:00:00Z Review Fei LiuKe Zhang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1766851 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1766851 2026-04-27T00:00:00Z Original Research Tingting LiuQing Liao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1793866 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1793866 2026-04-22T00:00:00Z Original Research Chong ShenZihao BaiKaiqian ZhouYujun MaMing YangJirong QiBo QianKaihong Wu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1733741 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1733741 2026-04-21T00:00:00Z Case Report Wenyue LiuBingliang LiXiaoxia WuBaohong ZhaoYuanyuan JinLiang ZhaoHongxia Ren https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1790096 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1790096 2026-04-21T00:00:00Z Case Report Yaning SunLiuyin ChenMei JinFan YangYakun DuJiangshun FangBaoguang LiZhixuan SunLingyan WangZhenghai ChengZhiguo YangYi Qu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1802302 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1802302 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Bingran YuShuan LiuZai Song 1 year predicted recurrence, while laparoscopic technique served as a protective factor. Laparoscopy identified synchronous contralateral hernias in 39.2% of children initially diagnosed with unilateral hernia, compared with only 0.9% detected during open repair. Laparoscopic approach was also associated with shorter operative time, fewer complications, and faster recovery.ConclusionsThis large cohort study highlights the epidemiology and surgical outcomes of pediatric inguinal hernia. Age, sex, and hernia laterality were associated with clinical presentation and complication risk. Laparoscopic surgery showed favorable perioperative outcomes and facilitated detection of contralateral hernias. Because surgical approach selection was not randomized, comparisons between techniques should be interpreted cautiously. These findings emphasize the importance of individualized risk stratification and surgical decision-making.]]>
