Feasibility of left subcostal single-incision laparoscopic surgery for pediatric left retroperitoneal space-occupying lesions.
Observational study in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the technical feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of left subcostal single-incision laparoscopic surgery (LS-SILS) in the right lateral position for various left retroperitoneal space-occupying lesions in children.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective, observational case series analyzed 12 consecutive pediatric patients with left retroperitoneal space-occupying lesions who underwent LS-SILS between January and December 2025. All procedures were performed through a 1.5-2.0 cm single incision in the left subcostal region with the patient positioned at approximately 70° right lateral decubitus. We used a disposable single-port multi-channel laparoscopic access device [Si Ai De (Xiamen) Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., China; model: IIIA-3B-35 × 100] and conventional straight laparoscopic instruments. Perioperative outcomes and pathological results were analyzed.
resultsAll 12 procedures were successfully completed via the single incision without conversion to open surgery or additional trocar placement. Pathological diagnoses included: extralobar pulmonary sequestration (n = 6), solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (n = 2), adrenal neuroblastoma (n = 1), retroperitoneal mature teratoma (n = 1), lymphatic malformation with infection (n = 1), and adrenal mixed ganglioneuroblastoma with retroperitoneal metastasis (n = 1). Median operative time was 83.5 min, and median estimated blood loss was 7.5 mL. 9 patients resumed oral intake on the day of surgery, with a median postoperative hospital stay of 3 days. No pancreatic fistula occurred in the 2 pancreatic surgery patients. Notably, one patient with adrenal mixed ganglioneuroblastoma and retroperitoneal metastasis underwent complete single-stage resection of both lesions through the same incision, with uneventful recovery.
conclusionsLS-SILS in the right lateral position is a safe and feasible innovative minimally invasive technique for pediatric left retroperitoneal lesions. Through optimized positioning and incision design, it provides clear exposure and precise access to both left retroperitoneal and retroperitoneal lesions, demonstrating excellent technical expandability and significant clinical potential.
