Therefore, we decided early in the pandemic to suspend all elective cases of cardiac surgery and closed the ambulatory clinic. The effect of this strategy on the mental well-being of the non-COVID-19 patients is unknown. The aim of this study is to assess whether planned or operated patients suffered from either anxiety or depression by their altered medical care trajectory and if their score influenced decision-making. The findings intend to anticipate individual needs during subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: The patient population consisted of two groups. The first group included planned patients whose operation date was delayed; in the second group, the postoperative control visit was postponed. Both groups received a twofold questionnaire. Part one was the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, part two a series of questions on the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac surgical care from a patient's perspective.Results: The study population was composed of 46 patients (63% men). Most of them (82.6%) would like the surgery to be performed as fast as possible, even before the end of the first wave of COVID-19-related hospitalizations. Of all patients 30.4% have avoided to consult a physician because of fear and 34.8% consulted a physician by phone call. When they physically consulted a physician, there was a prominent role for the general practitioner (41.3% went to the GP vs 19.6% to the specialist). Most (58.7%) of the patients would have liked a (tele)consultation with the cardiac surgeon.Conclusions: Regardless of the HADS, one can state that a closer follow-up using telemedicine during the pandemic is expected by all patients. All patients prefer their surgery to take place even during a pandemic.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"90-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39052945","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}

After right thoracic drainage for a pneumothorax, intubation for hypoxemia, and extraction of wooden foreign bodies from his mouth, a full-body scan identified a 6 mm diameter tubular-shaped structure extending from the nasopharynx to the retroperitoneum, passing through the mediastinum, in between major cardiovascular structures and organs. Cardiothoracic surgeons performed a sternotomy to remove the foreign body, which was identified as a long tree branch, without finding any major collateral anatomical damage. The cause of this ingestion was attributed to psychiatric delirium. Post-operative care included prolonged antibiotic therapy, one drainage surgery, and intensive rehabilitation, ultimately leading to a slow and progressive recovery. This unique case of tree branch ingestion crossing the mediastinum in an adult is astounding as the patient survived remarkably this life-threatening self-inflicted trauma. Furthermore, this case highlights the critical role of multidisciplinary management, the importance of imaging, and the emphasis on coordinated medical efforts to achieve positive outcomes in similar self-inflicted multiple site injuries cases.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"120-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762631","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}

The importance of using surgical tools in applying various surgical methods is clear. With the development of surgical instruments, the science of surgery made significant progress. At the beginning of the era of Islamic civilization (tenth century A.D.), The book entitled Al-Tasrif Leman Ujza an Al-Talif was written by Zahrawi, an Andalusian physician, which became world famous due to its section on surgery and surgical instruments. The original of this book was in Arabic and was translated into Latin by Gerald of Cremona. After that, he made his way to Europe and taught in European medical universities for many years. In this study, the possible source used by Zahrawi in writing this part of his book is discussed.Methods: This study was done by library and Internet research method. Reference books and relevant articles from reliable databases such as ISI, Scopus, PubMed and search engines such as Google Scholar, and also some archeological websites were used for gathering data. The date was analyzed.Results: Zahrawi has introduced more than 200 surgical tools in an illustrated form and described their use in the 30th chapter of the 3rd part of Al-Tasrif book. Also, there are some images of surgical instruments carved on a stone inscription on the wall of the Kom Ombo temple in Egypt, dating back to 305-30 BC, which are very similar to Al-Tasrif's.Discussion: The similarity between the images of these two mentioned documents, releaves a potential of Zahrawi's exposure to the Egyptian Kom Ombo and the use of that source in the compilation of al-Tasrif.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"113-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142765372","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}

We describe a case of a sarcoma of the anterior compartment of the arm, the surgical removal then the covering and reconstruction of the elbow flexion. This case was carried out by a unipolar pedicled flap of the latissimus dorsi.Material and methods: Three steps were performed (excision, flap preparation and flap fixation). The functional results (muscle strength, MRC scale) and range of motion (ROM) were analyzed. We performed a small literature review to compare the results.Results: A complete excision (R0) was carried out with a good vitality of the latissimus dorsi flap. A rapid scarring was obtained, allowing an early start of adjuvant radiotherapy. Muscular strength was 33% less compared to preoperative, MRC scale was classified 4. ROM of the elbow was rated at -10/0/130. One year after the operation, the patient is still in remission.Conclusion: Our functional results are comparable to those found in the literature. The muscle strength in our case appears to be superior, probably linked to a brachio-radialis muscle still functional. No difference in function has been found in the literature between a unipolar or a bipolar transfer of the latissimus dorsi. This case report confirms the reliable and effective nature of the latissimus dorsi flap. The use of this flap for reconstruction after sarcoma surgery has only few reports in the literature.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"95-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25327091","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}

Biliary drainage is a crucial step in the preoperative management of pCCA, yet there is no consensus on the optimal approach. Traditional drainage methods involve passing through the ampulla and/or the skin barrier, thereby increasing the risk of bacterial contamination of the biliary tree and secondary cholangitis.Method: A novel drainage technique was utilised in this case. A metal stent was percutaneously placed across the malignant hilar stenosis without external biliary drainage. During the procedure, both guidewires and stents were meticulously prevented from passing through the ampulla. Additionally, percutaneous access to the biliary tree was removed during the index procedure to minimise the risk of biliary colonisation and cholangitis.Results: Following the drainage, bilirubin levels rapidly normalised, and no clinical or biochemical signs of cholangitis were observed. This allowed for rapid and uncomplicated surgical resection.Conclusion: This case illustrates the potential of a novel biliary drainage technique in patients with pCCA. By minimising the risk of biliary colonisation and cholangitis, this approach could potentially improve surgical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":6935,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chirurgica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":"103-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680182","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}

Primary vascular repair is recommended.Case report: A 10-year-old girl was transferred to a trauma center after a high-energy motor vehicle collision. Under the diagnosis of acute abdomen with hemoperitoneum, the patient underwent urgent laparotomy, 34 min after admission to the hospital. A complete laceration of the SMV trunk was observed. Definitive vascular repair of the transected SMV was performed. An interposition graft from the internal jugular vein was used with a good postoperative course.Conclusion: This case report demonstrates that definitive vascular repair of the SMV reduces the risk of intestinal ischemia and should be performed in cases where ligation presents a real threat to small bowel viability.
