    Abstract Current knowledge on congenital microgastria is limited due to its extreme rarity, and the paucity of nutritional and quality of life follow-ups. Patients affected by congenital microgastria cases followed at out center were screened, and general and nutritional status were evaluated at follow-up visits through validated questionnaires. Three cases were included: one patient died because of a complex syndromic picture where microgastria was imperatively approached conservatively. The remaining cases underwent Hunt-Lawrence at 2 and 17 months. After 2 years and 27 years postoperatively, both patients are on full oral intake. The 28-yearold patient did not reach a BMI higher than 18. She rated her quality of life as unimpacted, with a Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index of 111. In the other case, parents reported about their 2-yearold child an Infant Gastrointestinal Symptom Questionnaire of 13, corresponding to "no distress". Our findings confirm the literature trend supporting the role of early surgery in microgastria to improve outcomes. We presented the nutritional status and quality of life in two cases of congenital microgastria operated according to Hunt-Lawrence at a 2-year and 27-year distance, which is the longest follow-up reported to date.

    Abstract Paediatric Intestinal Transplantation (IT) presents the highest mortality on the waiting-list due to anatomical disproportion. Living-Donor IT (LDIT) offers the best advantages and when performed among identical monozygotic twins, it also benefits from unique immunology. According to MEDLINE/Pubmed, twin-to-twin LDIT has been performed in seven cases (6:7 males, median age of 32 years). None of the patients received immunosuppression postoperatively. Only one paediatric twinto- twin LDIT was carried out with a 160-cm mid-ileum tract: an interposed 4/5-cm arterial graft was required to ensure a tensionfree anastomosis to the anterior wall of the infra-renal abdominal aorta. In contrast, venous anastomosis was done directly to the inferior cava vein. We present a case for debate of a 13- month-old SBS patient where a twin-LDIT was discussed with parents, who decided to wait after careful analysis and ethical considerations.

    Abstract The mainstay of management for short bowel syndrome (SBS) is to promote access to the best quality of care provided by the intestinal rehabilitation program (IRP) in specialized centres. When treating SBS patients, the main goal is to minimize disease-associated complications, as well as achieve enteral autonomy. Surgical strategies should be selected cautiously upon the actual state of the bowel with respect to what it is clinically relevant for that specific patient. To this aim, a personalized and multidisciplinary approach for such a complex syndrome is needed.

    Abstract Spontaneous lung intercostal hernia (SLIH) is a rare condition potentially carrying severe morbidity. About 120 cases have been described so far, with an apparently increasing number of reports in recent years. The main presenting findings are chest pain and bulging, with ecchymosis in the affected area, hemoptysis, respiratory distress, and signs of infection or incarceration being described as well. The gold standard treatment has not been established, and conservative management has been advocated as first-line treatment for asymptomatic patients. Here, we report a case series of five patients, and surgical repair was deemed necessary for four of them either at first evaluation or after failure of conservative management. One patient remains under surveillance and conservative management. We believe that SLIH surgical repair should be considered as first-line treatment for fit patients, due to the uncertainty of its mid- and long-term impact and described pejorative trend/defect enlargement. A proposed algorithm for SLIH management is also presented.

    Abstract Auxetic materials can be exploited for coupling different types of tissues. Herein, we designed a material where the microorganism metabolic activity yields the formation of buckled/collapsed bubbles within gelling silicone cylinders thus providing auxetic properties. The finite element model of such hollow auxetic cylinders demonstrated the tubular structure to promote worm-like peristalsis. In this scenario, the described hybrid auxetic structures may be applied to the longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring procedure to promote enteral autonomy in short bowel syndrome. The presented material and analytical design synergistic approach offer a pioneering step for the clinical translation of hybrid auxetic materials.
