Background: Residual, recurrent, and second primary head and neck cancers are on the rise. This is largely driven by a younger age at diagnosis and increasingly targeted chemoradiotherapy options. Salvage surgery remains the only curative intent option in this cohort of patients.

Children use nasogastric tubes (NGTs) to ensure optimum nutrition and medication delivery when oral feeding fails or when they experience faltering growth. Although this method is less invasive, children may experience complications associated with NGTs. There is a gap in the literature regarding the types and prevention of complications of NGTs in the pediatric population at home.

Nasogastric tube placement is frequently performed in various medical settings. While generally deemed safe in patients without risk factors, complications may occur due to malposition, justifying the need of systematic confirmation of position with chest radiographs. We present the case of a critically ill male adult patient for whom the tube position was initially deemed very unusual on postinsertion radiographs, prompting further workup which ultimately confirmed an oropharyngeal perforation with a left parapharyngeal, left visceral, retrotracheal, and right retrodiaphragmatic course, and resulting in a recurrent pneumothorax and empyema treated by surgical decortication.

Background: Enteral nutrition can be delivered to the stomach using nasogastric or orogastric tubes, with each route having advantages and disadvantages. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of these methods on growth, development, and the incidence of adverse outcomes.

Methods: This analysis included studies that enrolled preterm infants who received nasogastric or orogastric tube feeding.

Article Synopsis
  • Trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) and trans-oral laser microsurgery (TLM) are effective methods for identifying unknown primary cancers in the head and neck area, with a focus on tonsillectomy techniques.
  • A systematic review found that 65% of patients had their primary tumors identified using TORS and TLM, with better results from TLM compared to TORS, especially for HPV-related tumors.
  • Complications were relatively low, with nasogastric/gastrostomy issues occurring in 6% of cases, and hospitalization varied between 1 to over 7 days.
