    Abstract A rare complication of diverticulosis of the colon is giant colonic diverticulum, an entity first described by Bonvin in 1946. The experience of any surgeon with this problem is at the most still small and reported management in the literature has been varied. We present the case of a 84-year-old woman presenting with a painless abdominal mass and constipation. A 30 x 10 cm gas-filled cyst was discovered on abdominal X-ray and CT examination. Furthermore, we provide an overview of pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapeutic options.

    Abstract Introduction: Clinical benefits of laparoscopic surgery are well established, but evidence for financial benefits is limited. This study aimed to compare the financial impact of the introduction of laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
    Methods: This study included patients who underwent colorectal surgery between January 2010 and 2015. We collected a range of financial data and divided the patients into 2 groups. Primary outcome was total cost defined by surgical-related costs.
    Results: A total of 1,246 patients were included, of which 440 surgeries were performed laparoscopically. The total median cost of laparoscopy was higher compared to open surgery (EUR 4,665 vs. EUR 4,268, p = 0.001). Laparoscopy was associated with higher equipment costs (EUR 857 vs. EUR 232, p < 0.001), longer operating time (3.2 vs. 2.5 hours, p < 0.001), and more readmissions (10.9 vs. 8.5%, p < 0.001). However, after adjusting for heterogeneity, no difference was found in total cost. Surgical-related costs were counterbalanced by lower costs associated with shorter median hospital stay (6 vs. 9 days, p < 0.001), less morbidity (37.3 vs. 55.1%, p < 0.001), and less mortality (1.8 vs. 5.6%, p = 0.013) for laparoscopy.
    Conclusion: During the introduction of laparoscopy for colorectal surgery, no significant differences were found in total cost between laparoscopic and open colorectal surgery. However, favorable postoperative outcomes were achieved with laparoscopic surgery.

    Title translation The electronic health record: computerised provider order entry and the electronic instruction document as new functionalities.
    Abstract An electronic health record (EHR) should provide 4 key functionalities: (a) documenting patient data; (b) facilitating computerised provider order entry; (c) displaying the results of diagnostic research; and (d) providing support for healthcare providers in the clinical decision-making process.- Computerised provider order entry into the EHR enables the electronic receipt and transfer of orders to ancillary departments, which can take the place of handwritten orders.- By classifying the computer provider order entries according to disorders, digital care pathways can be created. Such care pathways could result in faster and improved diagnostics.- Communicating by means of an electronic instruction document that is linked to a computerised provider order entry facilitates the provision of healthcare in a safer, more efficient and auditable manner.- The implementation of a full-scale EHR has been delayed as a result of economic, technical and legal barriers, as well as some resistance by physicians.

    Title translation Evaluating individual doctors in the IFMS programme.
    Abstract The 'Individueel functioneren medisch specialisten' (Individual Functioning of Medical Specialists, IFMS) programme is a formative evaluation tool.- The aim of the IFMS programme is to consolidate good practices and to ameliorate those less desirable. - It is an integral system that takes the complexity of the medical profession, the physician as an individual and the expectations and demands from the individual's surroundings into account. - The IFMS programme uses the physician's intrinsic motivation and individual responsibility as its starting points. - The programme's features include maintaining a portfolio and acquiring feedback from the surroundings which are then used as a foundation for a personal discussion with a trained communicator.- The outcome of this method results in a physician who is and remains conscious of the need to deliver high-quality care, taking his or her personal aspirations and demands of the work setting into account.

    Abstract A case of femoral neck fracture is reported after electrical shock injury with 300 V direct current in a 41-year old male. He had two small full thickness burns on his left heel, probably the exit wounds. A fracture after electrical shock due to musculoskeletal contractions is a very rare condition. Surgeons caring for patients with electrical injury should be aware of the possibility of skeletal injuries. Without vigilance for these injuries, delay in diagnosis may occur.

    Title translation The Morel-Lavallée-lesion: delayed symptoms after trauma.
    Abstract Background: The Morel-Lavallée lesion is a post-traumatic collection of fluid arising after a 'closed degloving injury' has caused the separation of the skin and subcutis from the underlying muscular fascia. It usually occurs in the trochanteric region or proximal thigh.
    Case description: A 36-year-old obese man was referred to the emergency department by his general practitioner for fever and pain in the right lower abdominal quadrant. Blood testing revealed elevated infection parameters. As appendicitis was suspected, a CT scan of the abdomen was performed. This revealed a Morel-Lavallée lesion, which he had sustained 9 months earlier when he had been hit by a car while riding his bicycle. A rapid recovery ensued after ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage and treatment with antibiotics.
    Conclusion: A Morel-Lavallée lesion, which could manifest even months later, should be considered after any traumatic injury. Ultrasound, CT and MRI are useful tools for proper diagnosis. There is no consensus about treatment in either the acute or the chronic phase to date.

    Abstract Background: Incisional hernia is a frequent complication of abdominal surgery, often requiring surgical intervention. This prospective randomized trial compared suture materials for closure of the fascia after abdominal surgery.
    Methods: In 456 patients the abdominal fascia was closed with either non-absorbable (polypropylene; Prolene(®)) or absorbable (polydioxanone; PDS(®)) suture material. Follow-up was by clinical examination and ultrasonography at 6-month intervals. Outcome measures were incisional hernia, surgical-site infection and suture sinus.
    Results: Some 223 patients were analysed after closure with Prolene(®) and 233 after PDS(®) . Median follow-up was 32 and 31 months respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of incisional hernia between the groups: 20·2 per cent (45 of 223) for Prolene(®) and 24·9 per cent (58 of 233) with PDS(®) (P = 0·229). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a cumulative rate after 4 years of 23·7 and 30·2 per cent for Prolene(®) and PDS(®) respectively (P = 0·222). Secondary outcome measures showed no significant differences.
    Conclusion: The incidence of incisional hernia in both groups was higher than expected from previous literature. There were no significant differences between the two suture methods.

    Abstract Objectives: This study seeks to evaluate assessment of geriatric frailty and nutritional status in predicting postoperative mortality in gastric cancer surgery.
    Methods: Preoperatively, patients operated for gastric adenocarcinoma underwent assessment of Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) and Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ). We studied retrospectively whether these scores were associated with in-hospital mortality.
    Results: From 2005 to September 2012 180 patients underwent surgery with an overall mortality of 8.3%. Patients with a GFI ≥ 3 (n = 30, 24%) had a mortality rate of 23.3% versus 5.2% in the lower GFI group (OR 4.0, 95%CI 1.1-14.1, P = 0.03). For patients who underwent surgery with curative intent (n = 125), this was 27.3% for patients with GFI ≥ 3 (n = 22, 18%) versus 5.7% with GFI < 3 (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.0-20.9, P = 0.05). SNAQ ≥ 1 (n = 98, 61%) was associated with a mortality rate of 13.3% versus 3.2% in patients with SNAQ =0 (OR 5.1, 95% CI 1.1-23.8, P = 0.04). Given odds ratios are corrected in multivariate analyses for age, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, type of surgery, tumor stage and ASA classification.
    Conclusions: This study shows a significant relationship between gastric cancer surgical mortality and geriatric frailty as well as nutritional status using a simple questionnaire. This may have implications in preoperative decision making in selecting patients who optimally benefit from surgery.
