Magnets and Children: A dangerous Combination
CONCLUSION: Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets is rare but can create a life threatening situation in children. If the magnets are still in the stomach, endoscopic retrieval is needed. If they are beyond the stomach, in asymptomatic cases close clinical and radiographic vigilance is mandatory. When symptomatic we advise urgent removal. If treated on time, surgical outcome is good and fast recovery is expected.PMID:37259806 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)

Anastomotic leaks and the relationship with anastomotic strictures after esophageal atresia surgery; effects of patient characteristics
CONCLUSION: Non-operative treatment remains effective for AL after esophageal atresia surgery. AL increases the risk of developing AS and significantly increases the number of dilatation sessions needed. Anastomotic complications are less common in patients with lower gestational age.NOVEL ASPECTSGestational age and birth weight were found to be significantly higher in patients with anastomotic leaks than in those without and fewer anastomotic complications were encountered in patients whose gestational age was ≤ 33 weeks.Anastomotic stricture development was significantly higher in patients with anastomotic leaks and th...

Surgical treatment of constrictive pericarditis at a single center: 10 years of experience
CONCLUSION: The median sternotomy approach provides a critical advantage in terms of performing a complete pericardiectomy. Although CP is a chronic condition, early diagnosis and planning of pericardiectomy before irreversible deterioration of cardiac function leads to a notable reduction in mortality and morbidity.PMID:37232347 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2023.2216377 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)

Intrapericardial Liver Herniation after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: a Case Report of Minimally Invasive Repair with 20-year Follow-up
CONCLUSION: A laparoscopic approach for DIPH is feasible in emergency situations provided sufficient hemodynamic stability of the patient. On-lay ePTFE mesh repair is a valid option for such repairs. We illustrate the long-term durability and safety of ePTFE for DIPH repair in what seems to be by far the longest documented follow-up after laparoscopic ePTFE mesh repair for DIPH.PMID:37219416 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)
