In the last decade, the applicability of robotic surgery has been demonstrated in many interventions, expanding the indications of minimally invasive surgery also to pediatrics. The aim of the study is to evaluate postoperative pain to demonstrate better control following robotic procedures compared to thoraco–laparoscopic surgery. An...

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the feasibility and short-term results of laparoscopic and robotic total oesophago-gastric dissociation (TOGD) with a Roux-en-Y oesophago-jejunostomy. Minimal invasive surgery has multiple advantages in neurologically impaired patients. Robotic approach has overcome disadvantages linked to laparoscopy, in...

Objective: To determine whether brain volumetric and white matter microstructural changes are present and correlate with neurological impairment in subjects with alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC). Methods: In this prospective single-center study, 12 AHC subjects (mean age 22.9 years) and 24 controls were studied with 3DT1-weighted MR...
