		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had a patient who had a Mitrofanoff procedure in the past and I decided to take a look at the literature about this interesting approach.
A PubMed search for &#8220;Mitrofanoff&#8221; showed 416 articles as of today. Among them, a recent educational article gives a nice overview over the topic.

		<description><![CDATA[The initial hype about NOTES is over!
This is such a good news that I couldn&#8217;t  resist starting with it. :)
I wrote twice about this topic and not only my opinion didn&#8217;t change, I noticed that the general perception regarding NOTES is meanwhile clearly negative. Even people who are usually more open to new approaches share [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The introduction of the 80-hours week for the residents in the USA brought a lot of unhappy faces in the faculty members. Ever since then the residents have to listen to &#8220;what-do-you-know&#8221; and &#8220;when-I-was-a-resident&#8221; stories on a daily basis.
