A mild post-transfusion white cell increase occurs in sick neonates. Because of the magnitude of effect, it is unlikely that this interesting physiological response would interfere with the diagnosis of sepsis in this population.

Most procedures were performed by two surgeons working together, although one surgeon was involved in the majority of cases. The lead surgeon is often assisted by a fellow consultant colleague. Operative times were influenced by experience, but not markedly so. The shorter operative times and minimal "learning curve," compared with other reported series, may, in part, be due to the involvement of two surgeons experienced in laparoscopy for the majority of cases.
