Rupture of right hemidiaphragm after blunt abdominal trauma (report of six cases).

Six cases of ruptured right dome of the diaphragm were seen in a district hospital, and a large metropolitan teaching hospital in the last six years. Diaphragmatic rupture on the right side is rare, but is seen more frequently after blunt abdominal trauma, due to increasing numbers of automobile accidents. Emphasis has been placed on the need for a greater awareness of this condition, which will help in making an early diagnosis. A plea is made for careful initial examination, and simple aids to diagnosis are described. The general plan of management is outlined and a few modifications in operative technique have been suggested.

Vasectomy.

Fifty consecutive patients who underwent vasectomy were followed up over a period of two years, and were subjected to a questionnaire, and the results were analysed. The technique for vasectomy is described and a few modifications are suggested, so that there is a reasonable chance of reversing the operation if need be. Special emphasis has been placed on the poorly understood medicolegal implications of vasectomy.

Necrotizing and giant cell granulomatous phlebitis of caecum and ascending colon.

A distinctive form of necrotizing and granulomatous phlebitis of a segment of large intestine is described in a previously healthy 36-year-old woman who presented with sudden severe abdominal pain and diarrhoea. At operation the caecum and ascending colon were oedematous and inflamed and right hemicolectomy was performed. Microscopically there was striking involvement of veins in all coats of the bowel ranging from recent fibrinoid necrosis of the whole vessel wall in the case of the caecum, to more chronic giant cell granulomas in parts of the vessel wall with partial or complete occlusion of the lumen in ascending colon. Arteries and lymphatics were entirely spared of these changes. The aitiology of this condition has not been elucidated but the histological appearances and site of involvement suggest an immunological reaction to material absorbed from the bowel. No evidence of food or other allergies or of infection has been obtained. The patient remains symptom free after 18 months. This form of phlebitis does not appear to have been previously described.

Omental transfer for the treatment of radionecrosis of chest wall.

A technique is described for the treatment of non-healing deep ulcers of the chest wall following radiotherapy. These ulcers are avascular and may involve the costal cartilages. The skin around them is stretched and fixed, so that covering and healing them has been a challenging problem to surgeons. The method used in this patient utilized the transfer of the whole of the greater omentum attached to the greater curve of the stomach, which provides clean, vascular bed for the skin graft, and has been nature's best help to surgeons.
