Review of the LXVIII BAPS Congress in Birmingham (2022)
Journal of Pediatric Surgery 2023; 58 (2).
Mark Davenport
Each and every BAPS congress has a long tail, rather like that of a comet, where papers briefly presented by poster or podium emerge in print ready for a wider audience. These are there to be pored and picked over by excited readers around the world (MD review).
Just over 40 papers were submitted and 21 chosen for the Congress issue of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery. As in every year the mix was fairly eclectic, with papers from sub-Saharan Africa (Mazingi JPS COVID) and Brazil comfortably rubbing shoulders with those from less esoteric centres such as Sheffield and Camberwell. Some of the authors such as Marc Levitt from Washington DC and Darius Patkowski from Wroclaw, Poland Thoracoscopic approach for oesophageal atresia_ A real game changer_ _ Elsevier Enhanced Reader) will be well-known but others are perhaps contributing their first authorial offerings.
Anyway see what you think. Comments and insights are always welcomed.
