Traumatic rupture of a left-sided liver and postoperative acute respiratory failure in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome.

A case is described of abdominal trauma and rupture of a left-sided liver in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome (situs inversus, bronchiectasis, sinusits). Exploratory laparotomy, left thoractomy, cholecystectomy and hepatic artery ligation were necessary to control hemorrhage. Special attention was paid to the patient's respiratory condition postoperatively via physiotherapy and analgesia. The importance of identifying this three-part syndrome and especially the bronchiectasis is emphasized.

Post-thrombotic leg ulcer and its surgical treatment.

The post-thrombotic syndrome is a complex disease to whose development at least three factors contribute: (1) incompetence of the venous valvular system; (2) opening of the local arteriovenous shunts; and (3) disturbances in the lymphatic system. Our surgical treatment considers all three factors by providing: (1) stripping of the saphenous veins; (2) wide excision of the ulcerated region with the fascia, followed by immediate skin graft; and (3) large excision of subcutaneous tissue and fascia. Of fifty-one patients with chronic post-thrombic leg ulcers operated on according to these principles, only one had recurrence, a recurrence rate of only 0.5%. This compares favorably with other published results.
