We aimed to compare the risk of complications using a validated grading system and parent satisfaction.Methods: Infants undergoing gastrostomy placement in a tertiary referral center were retrospectively included. Local and general complications were graded using the Clavien-Dindo (CD)system and categorized as early (≤ 30 days) vs late (>30 days) postoperatively. Parent satisfaction was evaluated prospectively using a questionnaire (Numeric Rating Scale 0- 10).Results: Out of 102 patients, 52 underwent LG and 50 PEG. General complications (CD IIIa, IIIb and IV) were rare and occurred all late (n = 3), local complications were common: twice as much minor local early complications occurred in the LG cohort, however this was not statistically significant (28.8% vs 14.0%; p = 0.092). There was a trend toward more major local late CD IIIb complications in the PEG group, but this was not statistically significant (20.4% vs 8.0%; p = 0.088). After button removal, there was a higher risk of gastrocutaneous fistula requiring surgical closure after LG (53.1% vs 26.7% after PEG; p = 0.003). Parental satisfaction was high in both groups (mean score 8.3 for PEG vs 7.9 for LG; p = 0.341).Conclusion: While the risk of general complications after gastrostomy placement is low, local complications are common. However not significant, PEG was associated with a higher risk of major long-term local complications, while LG required more surgical closures after button removal. Parental satisfaction was high in both groups. Further prospective comparisons are needed.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144309399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, complications may arise, particularly in visible areas such as the centrofacial region, leading to significant aesthetic and functional sequelae. Columellar necrosis is a rare but challenging complication requiring specialized reconstruction techniques.Methods: This report presents two cases of columellar necrosis caused by infantile hemangiomas. Reconstruction was achieved using a 3-component technique: cartilage grafts for tip support, oral vestibule mucosal flaps for lateral lining, and cutaneous turn out flaps from the columellar stumps for anterior skin coverage.Results: Both patients achieved excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes. The described technique allowed for reliable reconstruction of the columella, addressing both structural integrity and cosmetic appearance.Conclusion: Reconstruction of columellar defects, particularly in pediatric cases, is challenging due to the columella's small size and challenging anatomy. The described 3-component technique offers a reproducible and effective approach for isolated columellar defects, ensuring satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144300934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are often misdiagnosed in patients with cervical masses. Horner's syndrome, in this case, results from a lesion of the stellate ganglion. Only a few cases in the literature describe paragangliomas affecting the stellate ganglion.Case report: We report the case of a 61-year-old female with a cervico-thoracic paraganglioma associated with Horner's syndrome. She had no significant medical history. Cervical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large, highly vascularized antero-superior mediastinal mass measuring 6.8 cm x 5 cm x 9 cm, surrounding the left subclavian and carotid arteries, and slightly compressing the trachea, esophagus, and innominate vein. Surgery provided the definitive diagnosis through histopathological analysis. We highlight the different types of paragangliomas and the challenges in diagnosis. A 2-year follow-up with CT and PET-CT scans confirmed no recurrence of the lesion.Conclusions: Paragangliomas are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors that may appear wherever autonomic ganglia are present. Clinical presentations vary, including lesions of the stellate ganglion causing ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. Paragangliomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cervico-thoracic masses.

Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Alvarado scoring system based on the prospectively included subjects who presented to the emergency department with suspected AA.Methods: From June 2018 to May 2020, 176 adult patients examined in the Emergency surgical department of University Hospital Sveti Duh with suspicion of AA were prospectively included in the study. The decision on the need for surgery in all patients was made by the same surgeon based only on clinical judgment and remained independent of any diagnostic scoring system.Results: Fifty-eight (33.0%) of them were operated with negative appendectomy rate of 17.2%.

Only in a narrow group of patients in whom, based on the clinical examination, an indication for surgery has already been established, the Alvarado scoring system can potentially be useful in excluding the diagnosis with considerable caution in terms of close follow-up of the patient.Abbreviations: MSCT: multislice computed tomography; AA: acute appendicitis.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144141100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-union rates after intramedullary nailing are 9.7%. Hypertrophic non-union stems from unstable fracture sites, while atrophic non-union arises from inadequate biological environments. Treatment involves rigid bone fixation for hypertrophic non-union and combining biological tissue supply with mechanical stability for atrophic non-unions. This case report outlines a complex tibial non-union post-high-impact injury, detailing the surgical technique and TRUMATCHTM Graft Cage-Long Bone usage. In addition, we outlined the current literature on this topic.Case report: A male patient suffered a traumatic Gustilo II comminuted tibia and fibula fracture, Lisfranc injury and a Schatzker I tibial plateau fracture of the right leg. During follow-up the patient developed an aseptic non-union with eight-centimeter anterolateral bone defect after primary surgery. Surgical intervention was performed using the three-dimensional printed TRUMATCHTM Graft Cage-Long Bone. At one year follow-up, clinical and radiological consolidation of the right tibia was seen.Conclusion: This case report describes a challenging case of aseptic traumatic non-union of the tibia with a critical-sized defect treated with a novel patient-specific implant in a one-stage procedure. The application of the TRUMATCHTM Graft Cage-Long Bone is promising and warrants further investigation in larger, more controlled studies to substantiate our findings.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"148-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143412703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
