A laparoscopic detectable magnet can be utilized for greater maneuverability of the hernia sac
The evidence supporting best practices for long gap esophageal atresia is currently low quality
Patients with long gap esophageal atresia should receive appropriate long-term follow-up
Workup, diagnosis, and treatment of GERD patients is complex
The latest recommendation for Nissen fundoplication involves minimal dissection at the GE junction

Multiple randomized control trials have shown that ad lib feeds are superior or equivalent to protocolized feeds for pyloric stenosis
All infants less than 50 weeks post-conceptual age at the time of surgery need some level of observation for apnea monitoring
NPO guidelines include clears up to two hours preop and breast milk up to four hours preop
Clinicians tend to be too restrictive with NPO guidelines
Pre-op antibiotic prophylaxis must be administered within 60 minutes before incision
Redosing of antibiotics is needed for the duration of the operation
Generally, antibiotics are not needed after surgery unless the case determines otherwise
Hirschsprung's disease is the number one search topic on the app overall
The transition zone can vary widely depending on the extent of disease with numbers as high as 22 centimeters for total colonic Hirschsprung's disease
Coyle et al recommend resecting greater than 5 cm proximally to the normal biopsy to avoid transition zone pull through
Management of suspected Hirschsprung's associated enterocolitis includes prompt evaluation of the patient, rectal irrigations with normal saline, NPO, IV fluids, antibiotics and continuous monitoring
Patients with intussusception should go to the operating room if they have peritoneal signs or if they fail reduction after three attempts
Patients can be safely discharged home after four hours of observation after a successful intussusception reduction
Patients with intussusception can have the air enema repeated every hour up to three times as long as there are no signs of peritonitis before operative exploration
Patients who are asymptomatic for four hours after a successful intussusception reduction can be discharged from the emergency department
Non-operative management should be primarily considered in hemodynamically stable patients with blunt solid organ injuries
Angioembolization should be considered for ongoing or delayed bleeding, high grade injuries and early hemodynamic compromise before proceeding to the operating room
