Case report. Paraphimosis due to erotic dancing.
Paraphimosis usually develops when a tight foreskin is retracted over the glans penis for a prolonged period. Many esoteric aetiologies have been implicated in the development of paraphimosis including piercing the foreskin, Plasmodium falciparum infection, application of celadine juice to the foreskin, chancroid, pessaries and the implantation of pearls. We report the first two cases of paraphimosis developing during wining, an erotic dance native to Trinidad & Tobago.

Duodenal obstruction due to a swallowed nasogastric tube.
Nasogastric tubes are commonly used, not only in surgical practice but in all disciplines. Their use, however, is not without complications. We present the first reported case of duodenal obstruction due to a swallowed nasogastric tube, and recommend that nasogastric tubes be used in their entirety (uncut) with the splayed distal end intact. This simple procedure will prevent a rare but distressing complication that might be amenable only to laparotomy.
Caroli's disease associated with a gastric diverticulum.
Caroli's disease or communicating ectasia of the intrahepatic biliary tree is a rare disease with unknown aetiology. The coexistence of this along with the uncommon condition of a gastric diverticulum has never been reported before. A deficiency in the fibromuscular matrix of both the bile ducts and the gastric wall may explain why these two pathologies may coexist in a single patient.

Prospective study of primary anastomosis without colonic lavage for patients with an obstructed left colon.
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, left-sided colon obstruction is managed by a multistaged defunctioning colostomy and resection. However, there is growing acceptance of one-stage primary resection and anastomosis with on-table antegrade irrigation. This paper presents a series of patients managed prospectively by primary anastomosis without intraoperative colonic lavage. METHODS: Emergency resection of acutely obstructed left-sided colonic carcinomas was performed. This was followed by primary anastomosis without on-table lavage after bowel decompression using a new technique. RESULTS: Fifty-eight consecutive, unselected patients underwent bowel decompression, resection and primary colocolic anastomosis. Only one patient developed a leak at the anastomotic site, requiring pelvic abscess drainage and transverse loop colostomy. One death occurred 12 h following surgery. Autopsy confirmed that this was due to myocardial infarction. Mean hospital stay was 9.8 days. CONCLUSION: Emergency surgery on the obstructed left colon can be carried out safely after decompression alone, without intraoperative colonic lavage.

Transperitoneal exclusion. A simple Third World solution for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
We present an operation never described before for dealing with abdominal aortic aneurysms by exclusion via a midline trans-abdominal approach. This breakthrough holds many advantages over conventional aneurysmorrahphy and requires further clinical trials.
