Abstract

This article presents a 28 years old male patient case with a retroperitoneal collection of apendicular origin. After few comments about clinical and paraclinical aspects, the authors emphasise the particular aspects of differential diagnosis and surgical approach which, finally, lead to a full recovery of the patient.

[Perforation of the esophagus with a mediastinal abscess].

INTRODUCTION: Surgical voice rehabilitation after total laryngectomy is still only a partially solved problem. Because of easy handling and rare complications, the Provox voice prosthesis has become common in voice rehabilitation. CASE REPORT: The 69 year old patient underwent laryngectomy, selective bilateral neck dissection and the implantation of a Provox voice prosthesis because of a glottic squamous cell carcinoma (pT(4), pN(0), M(0)). Postoperative healing ensued without any complications. During adjuvant radiochemotherapy, the patient developed distinctive cervical edema which led to a tilting of the Provox prosthesis. Due to a perforation of the posterior esophageal wall, the patient developed a pronounced mediastinal abscess which was relieved through a transcervical mediastinotomy. Antibiotic therapy led to a partial remission of the symptoms. CONCLUSION: Severe complications may not only occur during the early phase of surgical voice rehabilitation, but also at a much later stage, after completion of the healing process. A voice prosthesis which is too long or generates pressure from a radiogenic edema, cannula and finger pressure used to close the tracheostoma is transmitted through the prosthesis and may lead to a perforation of the posterior esophageal wall. In particular, when the tissue is injured during the course of radiotherapy, this type of complication should be taken into consideration.

[The mammary duct fistula: a persistent problem that can be treated adequately].

Three female patients, 39, 39 and 46 years old, had recurrent, non-puerperal, subareolar abscesses caused by obstructed and dilated lactiferous ducts and resulting in paramamillary fistulas. Further recurrence was stopped by surgery. Based on the pathogenesis, surgery is the recommended treatment for this chronic ailment, i.e. fistulectomy using a radial incision through the centre of the nipple and excising the pathological nipple-areolar complex. Only the nipple is reconstructed, leaving the remainder of the wound open for healing by secondary intention and thus preventing recurrence.
