Very deep high temperature burns associated with blunt abdomino-thoracic trauma.

A 14-year-old boy with deep burns, blunt abdominal trauma and extensive muscle damage is described. The patient was operated on for a ruptured liver, developed acute tubular necrosis, had 3220 gr of necrotic tissue removed in serial tangential excisions, had an above elbow amputation of the left hand, removal of necrotic ribs and excisions of necrotic spinal processes, developed sepsis twice, empyema of right pleura, had open infected knee joints and was successfully treated until complete healing over a period of four months. The successful outcome seems to be due to early and aggressive surgical treatment, hemodialysis, total parenteral nutrition for over two months, antibiotic therapy, cryoprecipitate and devoted nursing, occupational and physiotherapy.

Microsilicone anastomoses.

Silicone tubes used for lacrimal system reconstruction have already been tested as temporary microvascular shunts. As a model of the small vessel, the silicone tube is used for initial training in microvascular surgery. It is useful for both teaching and practicing.

Tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flap for abdominal wall reconstruction.

We report a case of abdominal wall reconstruction following excision of irradiated skin and a ventral hernia. A very large tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flap was used with good results. The anatomical features of this flap make it an excellent method of abdominal wall reconstruction.

Improvement of skin flap survival by local injections of Regitine and propranolol. An experimental study in the rat.

An increase in the surviving area of skin flaps was achieved by local injections of alpha-adrenergic and beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Dorsal skin flaps of albino rats were injected postoperatively at their bases with Regitine (Ciba-Geigy, Switzerland), propranolol and a combination of these two drugs, two or three times daily for 6 days. All the pharmacologically treated animals showed a significantly better flap survival rate than did the control group (P less than 0.001). More frequent injections gave increasing flap survival areas. However, a combination of the above-mentioned drugs did not improve the results when compared with propranolol administered alone, and was less effective than Regitine administered alone.

Silicone ectoprostheses for correction of facial defects.

Twenty-two patients with congenital and acquired defects, rehabilitated with silicone ectoprostheses, were followed up for 6 mo to 4 yr. The simplicity of the procedure, its good results and the early physical and social rehabilitation attained, favor its use when adequately indicated.

Surgical correction of hyperkeratosis in the Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome.

In a severe case of the Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, surgical correction of the disabling hyperkeratosis on the dorsa of the hands was first tested in a small area and, when that proved successful, the entire dorsa of both hands were resurfaced. The result was functionally gratifying and the cosmetic appearance was improved.
