ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT - GAPS

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Dear colleagues and friends,
Yet once, I have the honor to invite you on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 32nd Panhellenic Congress of Paediatric Surgery with International Participation, to attend the forthcoming Congress of our Association, which will be held in Athens, October 3-6, 2019. Thanks to the kind offer of the Athens Medical Center Group, the scientific sessions of the most important event, organized every 2 years by the Greek Association of Paediatric Surgeons, will take place in the comfortable and fully equipped amphitheater of the Group in Kefalari, Kifissia.
Among the main topics of the 32nd Congress, “child abuse” is notable. “The battered child”, a contemporary issue that is escalating, and often frustrates the community and scientific society. The comprehensive analysis of this issue will include lectures and round tables, with many experts on the field. Other important topics covered, will be Anorectal Malformations and Hirschsprung’s Disease, with lectures and round tables covered by some of the most distinguished experts, such as Prof. Marc Levitt (Ohio State University, USA), Prof. Stuart Hosie (Munich, Germany), and Prof. Timothy Lee (Houston, Texas). The Organizing Committee invites all colleagues to join the pre-congress Colorectal Surgery Course and Workshop, which will include lectures and interactive real-time telecasting of anorectal malformations’ repair and operations for Hirschsprung’s Disease, with commentaries by our guests.
The conjoined Colorectal Nursing Course, from specialized nurses working with Prof. Levitt at the Center for Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction, Nationwide Children’s Hospital (Columbus, OH, USA), will give our nurses the opportunity to have an insight in Colorectal Nursing, a field hardly known in our country.
As expected, there will be far more topics discussed in the 32nd Congress. There are free announcements, lectures and round tables covering all fields of Paediatric Surgery, especially serious and ambivalent neonatal, paediatric and adolescent issues, for which there are different approaches.
You should also include in your agenda other sessions, such as the lecture about bullying, from Prof. George T. Pavlidis in the opening ceremony, and the painting exhibition of the artist who created the theme graphic for the Congress.
There are going to be many updates in our webpage. Stay updated in www.gaps.gr/congress2019/ . We invite you all to participate actively.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
Alexander G. Passalides
President of the Greek Association of Paediatric Surgeon, Head, 2nd Department of Paediatric Surgery, “Panagiotis and Aglaia Kyriakou” Children’s Hospital, Athens

Abstract
Introduction and Purpose: Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process that requires the cooperation of many cell populations and factors. Studies have shown that the nervous system is involved in healing through neuropeptides and neurosteroids produced and / or released locally. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an adrenal and neurosteroid hormone with neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties. Its synthetic analogue BNN27, which does not convert to estrogen or androgens, retains these properties of DHEA when used in an animal model of in vivo inflammatory pain. We have previously shown that treatment with BNN27 decelerates cutaneous wound healing, in vivo. Based on the above, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of BNN27 on wound healing in vitro and to understand the mechanisms mediating these effects.
Methods: For our studies we used primary fibroblast cultures isolated from foreskin samples obtained during circumcision for unrelated problems. The fibroblasts were initially cultured with DMEM / 10% FBS and on the day of the experiment the medium was replaced with fresh containing vehicle or BNN27 at 10-8 M. The cell proliferation rate was assessed over a four day period by the MTT method. Migration rate was examined with the scratch test and contraction rate with the collagen gel contraction test.
Results: Human fibroblasts, when treated with BNN27 (10nM) in vitro, had a significantly increased proliferation rate at 24 hours. Similarly, the same concentration significantly increased the rate of cell contraction, with no effect on cell migration. Finally, BNN27 at the same concentration significantly increased IL-6 protein levels at 12 h.
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate significant effects of BNN27 on wound healing in vitro and may help to develop new therapeutic regimens to treat abnormal healing and related skin diseases.

VARICOCELECTOMY WITH HYPER-SELECTIVE LIGATION OF SPERMATIC VEINS. MICROSURGICAL SUBINGUINAL APPROACH
USING EXOSCOPE VITOM 3D
ABSTRACT Introduction
The operations used to treat varicocele are Ivanissevich, Palomo (open or laparoscopic), and subinguinal varicocelectomy with microscope.
Purpose
Introduce the technique by microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy using exoscope VITOM 3D, a 3D technology system, and analyze the advantages compared to patients treated with the same method with a stereoscopic microscope.
Material
During the years 2010-19, 6 adolescents, aged 10-17 years, underwent surgery, 4 of them under microscope and 2 with VITOM.
Method
The camera of exoscope is positioned 30 cm from the incision and magnifies the surgical field by up to 30 times, allowing the surgical team to monitor directly on two 3D glasses with 3D glasses. This results in super-selective ligation of all spermatic veins, preserving the lymph nodes and the spermatic artery, which is separated by the use of papaverine.
Results
Not all patients had recurrence or complications. However, the VITOM surgery time was half the microscope, as finding veins and lymph nodes is easier by switching the magnification to a remote control, making it easier to control the screen and field at the same time. Tool management is more convenient as the camera distance from the incision is longer, reducing fatigue and making it easier to learn the operating technique.
Conclusions
VITOM 3D is a new operating approach that is significantly superior to the microscope because of its operational relevance. Applying it to a wide range of operations in pediatric surgery it has an advantage over any other approach.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is diagnosed in approximately 3% of the children with an urinary tract infection. The aim of this study was to access the effectiveness of the insertion of hyaluronic acid for treating vesicoureteral reflux in children. Methods: In this study 70 patients, aged 1,5 to 11 years, were included. All these patients suffered from VUR and were treated with the insertion of Dextanomer Hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA). Results: The total percentage of success was 78.4 %. More specifically, in Grade II VUR the success rate was 93.7%, in Grade III 75.7%, in Grade IV 33.3% and in Grade V cases, the insertion did not seem to have the expected response. Conclusion: The endoscopic method of the hyaluronic acid insertion, is a safe and effective method for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in children, especially for patients with Grade II or Grade III VUR.
