Las infecciones del sitio operatorio representan un desafío en el entorno hospitalario. El cierre primario diferido ha surgido como técnica para prevenirlas. Esta investigación busca explorar los beneficios del cierre primario diferido en la reducción de infecciones, estancia hospitalaria y costos, mejorando los resultados clínicos en cirugías abdominales. Objetivos. Evaluar el cierre primario diferido en pacientes laparotomizados de emergencia que acuden Hospital Universitario de Mérida Venezuela, con índice SENIC ≥ 3 puntos. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental prospectivo para evaluar los efectos del cierre primario diferido en comparación con el cierre primario en laparotomías exploradoras. La muestra consistió en 160 pacientes. Se analizaron la presencia de infecciones, la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y la evolución temporal de las infecciones como desenlaces del estudio. Resultados. Se encontró que el cierre primario diferido redujo la presencia de infecciones en comparación con el cierre primario. La limpieza trans-operatoria y el diagnóstico de abdomen agudo quirúrgico infeccioso fueron factores beneficiosos. La antibioticoterapia continua en el postoperatorio también fue más efectiva. Se observó una disminución del riesgo de infección en el grupo experimental en un 37% en comparación con el grupo de control. Conclusiones. El cierre primario diferido de la herida reduce significativamente la probabilidad de infección del sitio operatorio en cirugías abdominales con heridas contaminadas. Es una técnica beneficiosa para pacientes con abdomen agudo quirúrgico infeccioso. Además, el cierre primario diferido resulta rentable al disminuir tanto la incidencia de ISO como la duración de la estancia hospitalaria
Surgical site infections pose a challenge in the hospital setting. Delayed primary closure has emerged as a technique to prevent such infections. This research aims to explore the benefits of delayed primary closure in reducing infections, hospital stay, and costs, thus improving clinical outcomes in abdominal surgeries. Objectives. To evaluate delayed primary closure in emergency laparotomized patients with SENIC index ≥ 3 points at the University Hospital of Mérida, Venezuela. Methods. A prospective experimental study was conducted to assess the effects of delayed primary closure compared to primary closure in exploratory laparotomies. The sample consisted of 160 patients. The presence of infections, duration of hospital stay, and temporal evolution of infections were analyzed as study outcomes. Results. Delayed primary closure was found to reduce the presence of infections compared to primary closure. Transoperative cleaning and the diagnosis of infectious surgical acute abdomen were beneficial factors. Continuous postoperative antibiotic therapy was also more effective. A 37% reduction in the risk of infection was observed in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions. Delayed primary closure significantly reduces the probability of surgical site infection in abdominal surgeries with contaminated wounds. It is a beneficial technique for patients with infectious surgical acute abdomen. Additionally, delayed primary closure proves cost-effective by reducing both the incidence of surgical site infections and the duration of hospital stay(AU)

Objective: To compare the morbidity of perineum-related complication between biological mesh and primary closure in closing pelvic floor defects following extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP database, and China Biological Medicine database for published clinical researches on perineum-related complications following ELAPE between January 2007 and August 2020. Literature inclusion criteria: (1) study subjects: patients undergoing ELAPE with rectal cancers confirmed by colonoscopy pathological biopsy or surgical pathology; (2) study types: randomized controlled studies or observational studies comparing the postoperative perineum-related complications between the two groups (primary perineal closure and reconstruction with a biological mesh) following ELAPE; (3) intervention measures: biological mesh reconstruction used as the treatment group, and primary closure used as the control group; (4) outcome measures: the included literatures should at least include one of the following postoperative perineal complications: overall perineal wound complications, perineal wound infection, perineal wound dehiscence, perineal hernia, chronic sinus, chronic perineal pain (postoperative 12-month), urinary dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Literature exclusion criteria: (1) data published repeatedly; (2) study with incomplete or wrong original data and unable to obtain original data. Two reviewers independently performed screening, data extraction and assessment on the quality of included studies. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. The mobidities of perineum-related complications, including overall perineal wound (infection, dehiscence, hernia, chronic sinus) and perineal chronic pain (postoperative 12-month), were compared between the two pelvic floor reconstruction methods. Finally, publication bias was assessed, and sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the stability of the results. Results: A total of five studies, including two randomized controlled studies and three observational controlled studies, with 650 patients (399 cases in the biological mesh group and 251 cases in primary closure group) were finally included. Compared with primary closure, biological mesh reconstruction had significantly lower ratio of perineal hernia (RR=0.37, 95%CI: 0.21-0.64, P<0.001). No significant differences in ratios of overall perineal wound complication, perineal wound infection, perineal wound dehiscence, perineal chronic sinus and perineal chronic pain (postoperative 12-month) were found between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Compared with primary closure, pelvic floor reconstruction following ELAPE with biological mesh has the advantage of a lower incidence of perineal hernia.

Background: Choledocholithiasis is primarily managed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) but in certain situation particularly large and impacted common duct stone, the procedure may not succeed and this small group of patients require either open or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration followed by T-tube insertion. Usually T-Tube cholangiogram is performed on 10th postoperative day and tube is removed on 12-14th day. Alternatively, primary closure of duct after post exploratory choledochoscopy to ensure duct clearance with or without biliary stent can be done.Methods: This study was performed on 25 patients of failed endoscopic extraction, subjected to open choledocholithotomy. Group A (n=7) had T-tube insertion whereas group B (n=18) had primary closure of duct after choledochotomy.Results: 19 patients had calculus cholecystitis whereas 6 patients had prior cholecystectomy and later developed choledocholithiasis. 52% patients had impacted stone and 40% had large stone as a cause of ERCP failure. Postoperative pyrexia, cholangitis, septicemia, sub-hepatic bilious drainage and postoperative hospital stay was higher in T-tube group as compared to primary closure group.Conclusions: Primary closure over the biliary stent after cholecystectomy and/or choledocholithotomy has less morbidity as compared to T-tube insertion and hence should be preferred choice in choledocholithiasis, provided stone free duct is ensured peroperative using choledochoscopy.

Background: Fasciotomy is a standard treatment for acute compartment syndrome. Historically, fasciotomy incisions were usually left open till oedema settles down. In literature, there is a wide range of wound closure techniques published, but none of them is deemed to be the best. In this study, focus is laid on whether delayed primary closure (DPC) by shoelace technique, is as effective as conventional secondary suturing, in closure of fasciotomy wounds, done for spreading cellulitis.Methods: All those patients who met below mentioned inclusion criteria and underwent fasciotomy, were allocated into 2 groups (A and B) where Group A consists of 30 patients undergoing conventional secondary suturing, whereas Group B consists of 30 patients undergoing DPC by shoelace technique for closure of fasciotomy wounds. Parameters such as duration of hospital stay, time taken for complete wound closure, local wound complications, hospital expenses, anaesthesia related complications between the two groups were compared.Results: Patients who underwent DPC for fasciotomy wound closure achieved wound closure ~7 days earlier with 5 days lesser hospital stay than that of those who underwent conventional secondary suturing. Average health care cost of Group B was significantly lower compared to Group A, but there was no statistically significant difference in incidence of wound infections between the two groups.Conclusions: DPC by shoelace technique, takes less time for wound closure and hence the need for nursing care and hospital stay is significantly reduced in comparison to the conventional secondary suturing method.

Objective: The aim of this analysis was to determine the results of excision and primary closure of pilonidal sinus disease. Study Design: A Prospective Study. Place and Duration: In the Surgical department of PIMS Hospital Islamabad for the one-year duration from May 2018 to May 2019. Methodology: Eighty cases were included for excision with primary closure. Individuals having recurrent pilonidal sinus disease and with acute pilonidal sinus, abscess were excluded from the analysis. All subjects were operated in prone position under general anaesthesia. To clean the sinus tract; Methylene blue dye was injected. Postoperative complications and recurrence were recorded. All patients were followed at the outpatient department for three months and then every three months. Results: Eighty patients who met the criteria of inclusion were underwent surgery. 68 were male of the 80 patients, the female was 12, and 34 years was the mean age. Six days was the mean hospital stay and three weeks was the average duration when patients return to their work. From 80 patients; 10 (12.5%) had wound infection and 3 from them had minor wound infection. The seroma formation was noted in 5 (6.25%) which was aspirated. Only 6 patients had a recurrence, representing a 7.5% overall recurrence rate. Conclusion: It is concluded that pilonidal sinus disease primary closure and excision are related to early wound healing, short hospital stay, reduced chance of recurrence and rapid return to work.

Résumé
La exploración laparoscópica de las vías biliares (ELVB) constituye, hoy en día, una herramienta de gran utilidad en el tratamiento de la patología litiásica del árbol biliar, especialmente cuando técnicamente sea imposible realizar una pancreato-colangiografía retrógrada endoscópica (PCRE) o en los casos en los cuales este estudio no esté disponible. Método: Describir mediante un video nuestra técnica de ELVB paso a paso, en una paciente de 41 años quien consultó por presentar tinte ictérico en piel y mucosas, coluria e hipocolia. El ultrasonido abdominal reportó litiasis vesicular, dilatación de vías biliares intra y extra hepáticas, colédoco de 9 mm de diámetro y múltiples imágenes hiperecogénicas sugestivas de litiasis. Al no poder realizarse PCRE se decide practicar ELVB. Se realizó disección del triángulo biliocístico, identificación y ligadura proximal del conducto cístico con la finalidad de evitar la migración de cálculos a la vía biliar durante el procedimiento, coledocotomía, lavado proximal y distal de la vía biliar, exploración con catéter de Fogarty, coledocorrafia primaria, cisticotomía y colocación de catéter para colangiografía intraoperatoria, constatación de plenificación de las vías biliares sin imágenes de defecto y de adecuado paso del contraste al duodeno, colecistectomía y colocación de drenaje subhepático. Resultados: Paciente evoluciona en forma satisfactoria, egresando al tercer día de postoperatorio sin eventualidades. Discusión: La ELVB con coledocorrafia primaria ha sido descrita como una alternativa viable y efectiva para el manejo de la litiasis biliar, destacando su menor morbimortalidad cuando se compara con procedimientos endoscópicos como la PCRE(AU)
Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) constitutes, nowadays, a very useful tool in the treatment of biliary tree lithiasis, especially when it is technically impossible to perform an endoscopic retrograde pancreatic cholangiography (ERCP) or in cases when this study is not available. Method: Using a video, we describe our LCBDE technique step by step, in a 41-year-old patient who consulted for presenting jaundiced skin and mucosa, coluria and hypocolia. Abdominal ultrasound reported gallstones, intra- and extra-hepatic bile duct dilation, a 9-mm diameter common bile duct (CBD) and multiple hyperechoic images suggestive of lithiasis. Since ERCP could not be performed, it was decided to practice LCBDE. Dissection of the Calot's triangle was performed, identification and proximal ligation of the cystic duct in order to avoid migration of stones to the common bile duct during the procedure, choledochotomy, proximal and distal lavage of the bile duct, exploration with a Fogarty catheter, primary closure of CBD, cysticotomy and placement of catheter for intraoperative cholangiography, verification of fullness of the bile ducts without defect images and adequate passage of contrast to the duodenum, cholecystectomy and placement of subhepatic drainage. Results: Patient progressed satisfactorily, being discharged on the third postoperative day, uneventfully. Discussion: LCBDE with primary closure of CBD has been described as a viable and effective alternative for the management of biliary stones, highlighting its lower morbidity and mortality when compared with endoscopic procedures such as ERCP(AU)

ABSTRACT Acute free perforation of the sigmoid diverticulitis is an emergency surgical intervention required condition. Although the sigmoid resection and temporary end colostomy or abdominal lavage and drainage are the most commonly used surgical methods for its treatment, the most effective surgical method has not been established yet. We applied a different surgical method for the surgical treatment of free perforation of acute sigmoid diverticulitis outside of these surgical procedures. A double row epiploicoplasty was performed for surgical treatment of free perforated sigmoid diverticulitis with surgical success in a patient who had concominant serious diseases.
RESUMO A perfuração livre aguda da diverticulite de sigmoide é um problema que exige intervenção cirúrgica de emergência. Embora a ressecção de sigmoide e a colostomia de extremidade temporária ou a lavagem e drenagem abdominal sejam os métodos cirúrgicos mais comumente utilizados para o seu tratamento, o método cirúrgico mais eficaz ainda não foi estabelecido. Aplicamos um método cirúrgico diferente para o tratamento cirúrgico de perfuração livre de diverticulite de sigmoide aguda fora desses procedimentos cirúrgicos. Uma epiploicoplastia de duas fileiras foi realizada para o tratamento cirúrgico de diverticulite perfurada livre de sigmoide com sucesso cirúrgico em um paciente com doenças graves concomitantes.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of primary closure in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 2 429 patients who underwent primary closure in LCBDE in the Second Hospital of Chengdu City from March 1992 to December 2017 were collected.Patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) + stone extraction using LCBDE or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL),laparoscopic endoscopic sphincteropapillotomy (LEST) was performed selectively,then underwent laparoscopic endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (LENBD) or laparoscopic transabdominal antegrade-guide common bile duct stent implantation,finally underwent primary closure of common bile duct.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) postoperative recovery;(3) postoperative short-term complications;(4) follow-up situation.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to observe long-term surgical complications once every 3 months up to 1 year postoperatively.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x) ± s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Results (1) Surgical situations:of 2 429 patients,2 251 underwent successful stone extraction using LCBDE,relief of the obstruction and primary closure of common bile duct,with depletion of stones;15 underwent stone extraction using conversion to open surgery,with depletion of stones;163 had residual stones or surgery-related complications.Of 2 429 patients,1 144,898,223,110 and 54 were respectively detected in grade N or 0,1,2,3 and 4 of laparoscopic distal of the common bile duct smooth classification (LDSC);599 underwent LEST,367 underwent LENBD,207 indwelled urinary catheter through cystic duct stump,125 underwent laparoscopic transabdominal antegrade-guide common bile duct stent implantation and 1 131 underwent primary closure in LCBDE only.Number of removing the stones,diameter of common bile duct,volume of intraoperative blood loss and operation time was (2.5±0.2)per case,(0.7±0.4)cm,(22.4±2.6)mL and (100±12) minutes,respectively.(2) Postoperative recovery:time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery,duration of hospital stay and treatment expenses were respectively (2.5±0.5) days,(7.3± 1.2) days and (2.7±0.3) × 104 yuan.Of 2 429 patients,367 removed nasobiliary catheter at 3-7 days postoperatively,207 removed urinary catheter at 3-6 weeks postoperatively,and 125 removed common bile duct stent through duodenoscope port at 1-4 months postoperatively.(3) Postoperative short-term complications:incidence of postoperative short-term complications in 2 429 patients was 6.711% (163/2 429).① Ninety-four patients with bile leakage were cured after drainage and symptomatic and supportive treatment.② Of 29 patients with residual stones:25 with residual stones of common bile duct were cured by stone extraction using endoscopic sphincterotomy of duodenal papilla,and 4 with residual stones of intrahepatic bile duct didn't receive treatment.③ One patient died at 15 days after surgery for pancreatic cancer.④ Of 39 with postoperative other complications:2 with postoperative hemorrhage were cured by laparoscopic reoperation;12,19 and 3 were respectively complicated with postoperative inflammatory stenosis of duodenal papilla induced to short-term obstructive jaundice,mild acute pancreatitis and stress ulcer bleeding of upper digestive tract,and they were improved by endoscopy or non-operation treatment;2 with stenosis of bile duct didn't receive treatment;1 had a miss ligation at bending section of front zone of nasobiliary catheter,and ligation was removed by endoscopic retrograde cannulation of the pancreatic at 19 days postoperatively.(4) Follow-up situation:of 2 429 patients,1 749 were followed up for 3-12 months,with a median time of 6 months.During the follow-up,of 1 749 patients,2 had mild stenosis in the primary closure area of common bile duct incision and 1 had stenosis of duodenal papilla,they were not treated,and other patients didn't have related complications.Conclusion Controlling strictly the operative indication,primary closure of common bile duct in LCBDE is safe and feasible,with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
Résumé
Choledocholithiasis is the common problem that necessitates surgical intervention. It is managed either by endoscopic sphincterotomy or surgical exploration i.e. choledochotomy. The traditional surgical management of CBD stones consists of a supra-duodenal choledocotomy and insertion of a Ttube. The role of T–tube has been challenged since Thornton and Halsted described primary duct closure after CBD exploration. This study was carried out with an aim to evaluate the feasibility and safety of primary closure as compared to T-tube drainage in choledocholithiasis cases requiring CBD exploration. 70 patients in the age group of 18-60 years presenting with common bile duct stone were included after obtaining informed and written consent with exclusion of patients with malignant conditions and CBD dilation >2.5 cm. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups of 35 patients each: Group I (Primary repair group) and Group II (T-tube repair group).In Group I duration of hospital stay ranged from 8 to 20 days (mean 12.03±2.60 days) whereas in Group II this range was 18 to 29 days (mean 22.74±3.41 days. Statistically, the difference between two groups was significant (p<0.001).The primary closure was a feasible, safe and relatively better technique as compared to T-tube drainage. It had fewer complications and a smooth and shorter duration of hospital stay which have both economic as well as psychological implications.

Objective To assess the clinical outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic primary closure of common bile duct (CBD) with or without transcystic cholangiography and transcystic biliary drainage.Methods From June 2013 to March 2016,we operated on 46 patients who underwent primary closure of common bile duct after laparoscopic choledochotomy (group A).The results were compared with 51 patients who underwent primary closure of common bile duct after laparoscopic choledochotomy together with transcystic biliary drainage (group B) during the same study period.Results There was a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the two groups.The risk in group A was sig nificantly higher than group B (8.7% vs 0%,P <0.05).The duration of operation in group A was significantly shorter than in group B [(125.3 ± 28.3) min vs (131.3 ± 20.5) min].There were no significant differences in the duration of hospital stay between the two groups [(7.3 ± 2.4) days vs (7.8 ± 1.9) days,P > 0.05].All patients were followed up (range 3 months to 29 months,average 8.4 months).B-ultrasound examination showed no residual bile duct stones and the liver functions were normal.Conclusions Laparoscopic primary closure of common bile duct was possible after choledochotomy.Transcystic cholangiography and transcystic biliary drainage after primary closure of common bile duct were safer and more reli able.
Résumé
La Gastrosquisis y el Onfalocele son los defectos congénitos de la pared abdominal más frecuentes e importantes que afectan al recién nacido. En nuestro país son muy pocos los centros hospitalarios que cuentan con la infraestructura necesaria para atender a estos neonatos. Muchos de ellos tienen que esperar un tiempo valioso para poder ser operados mientras se ubica la institución en donde van a ser recibidos, aumentando el riesgo de Síndrome Compartimental Abdominal (SCA) y sepsis. Objetivo: Comparar los procedimientos quirúrgicos de Parche de Cordón Umbilical versus el Cierre Primario Convencional de la pared abdominal en recién nacidos. Método: En total se analizaron 20 pacientes los cuales fueron divididos en 2 grupos. El Grupo A, pacientes a los cuales se les realizó cierre de pared mediante la utilización de Parche de Cordón Umbilical (10). El Grupo B, pacientes a los cuales se les realizó Cierre Primario Convencional (10). Resultado: No hubo diferencia estadística significativa en cuanto a tiempo de hospitalización y a las complicaciones. La presión intraabdominal (PIA), inicio de la vía oral y la sobrevida si mostraron diferencia estadística significativa entre los dos procedimientos. Conclusiones: El uso de Parche de Cordón Umbilical pareciera ofrecer ventajas a estos neonatos en los que se ha retardado en cierre de la pared abdominal, ya que la técnica crea una superficie mesotelial en contacto con el intestino, es un material autologo, disponible, fácil de aplicar; y en nuestro estudio demostró mayores ventajas en cuanto al poco aumento de la PIA, inicio más precoz de la vía oral y mayor porcentaje de sobrevida comparándolo con el Cierre Primario Convencional.
Gastroschisis and Omphalocele are the most frequent and important birth defects of the abdominal wall in the newborn period. In our country there are few hospitals with the necessary infrastructure to care for these infants. Many of them have to wait valuable time to be operated while the institution where they will be transfered is located, increasing the risk of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome and sepsis. Objective: To compare the surgical outcome between the use of the Umbilical Cord Patch versus the Conventional Primary Closure of the abdominal wall in newborns. Methods: Twenty patients were equally divided into 2 groups. Group A patients underwent abdominal closure using the Umbilical Cord Patch and Group B patients underwent a Conventional Primary Closure of the abdominal wall (10). Results: No statistically significant difference was seen in hospitalization time and complications. Where as significant statistical difference was seen in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), onset of oral intake and survival between the two procedures. Conclusion: The Umbilical Cord Patch seems to offer advantages to those infants with delayed closure of the abdominal wall because the technique creates a mesothelial surface in contact with the intestine, it is an autologous tissue, available for use at birth and easly applied. The study showed greater benefits in terms of lower increase of IAP, early onset of oral fedding, and higher survival rate compared with Conventional Primary Closure.
Résumé
Background: It is still a matter of debate whether delayed primary closure (DPC) of contaminated abdominal incision reduces surgical site infection compared with primary closure (PC ).The rate of wound infection for dirty abdominal wound is approximately 40%, but the optimal method of wound closure remains controversial. Aims and objectives: To determine whether delayed primary skin closure of contaminated and dirty abdominal wounds reduces the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) compared with primary skin closure. Method: Patient diagnosed as acute peritonitis and posted for exploratory laparotomy during the period of October 1 2013 to September 1 2015 were included. The study was conducted at Shri B M Patil Medical College and Hospital, Bijapur. In this series a total of 100 patients were included and were divided in two groups. Each group had 50 patients. For primary closure group, wounds were closed with monofilament interrupted suture. For Delayed primary closure, skin and subcutaneous tissue are left open and packed with 10 % (betadine) povidone iodine soaked gauge, which was changed daily to prevent excessive collection of exudates. The outcome of wound was assessed on post –operative days. Result: In this entire series, wound infection developed after incision closure was 33% .The primary group had a higher rate of wound infection 54% and delayed primary closure was 12% (P<0.001) and longer length of hospital stay 19.4days in primary closure group and 16.5days in delayed primary closure group (P<0.002). Conclusion: Laparotomy wound complications are multifactorial, it depends on many factors. A strategy of DPC of dirty abdominal wound, clinically appears to decrease the rate of wound infection, when compared with PC without increasing the length hospital of stay.

PURPOSE: We aimed to report the clinical results of diaphyseal osteoplasty and primary soft tissue closure in recalcitrant poor skin lesion with superficial or localized bone infection on the anterior shin after chronic osteomyelitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 7 patients with poor shin skin lesion complicated by superficial and localized bone infection after chronic osteomyelitis. The average duration of chronic osteomyelitis was 39 years. After excision of the poor skin lesion, diaphyseal osteoplasty of the tibia was performed for the resection of infected bone and primary closure of the soft tissue defect. Postoperative results were evaluated with recovery of skin lesion, the amount of bone resection by osteoplasty and complications including recurrence of osteomyelitis. RESULTS: Mean size of excised skin lesion during surgery was 3.0×14.1 cm and successful primary closures of the defect were possible in all cases. All shin skin lesions were recovered and the amount of resected bone was mean of 18.7% of the anteroposterior diameter of the tibia. There was no recurrence of skin lesion, osteomyelitis or stress fracture. CONCLUSION: After treatment of a previous intramedullary infection in chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia, recalcitrant poor shin skin lesion complicated with superficial or localized bone infection was effectively recovered by diaphyseal osteoplasty and primary soft tissue closure. This procedure is relatively simple compared to other surgeries and effective in recovery of healthy shin skin without recurrence of osteomyelitis.

Acute wounds are a common presenting complaint of patients in the primary care setting. These can result from a variety of mechanisms ranging from lacerations and abrasions to stings, bites or burns. The management of acute wounds involves a proper evaluation with history, physical examination, and adequate management with local wound care, and consideration for the need for specialist review or systemic treatment. The general principles of wound management and special wounds like bite wounds and stings will be discussed.
Résumé
BACKGROUND: Ulnar nerve palsy leads to thumb-web depression, hypothenar flattening, and inter-digital depression in patients with leprosy. To camouflage these deformities, patients used to inject paraffin or silicone oil into the areas of muscle atrophy associated with thumb-web depression and hypothenar flattening. After several years and decades, paraffinomas eventually resulted in extensive inflammatory fibrosis and recalcitrant recurrent ulcers at the injection sites. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to compare the results of different surgical treatments for paraffinomas in patients with leprosy, and to find out the most effective treatment method that has a low recurrence rate. METHODS: Between January 2000 and December 2012, 47 patients with paraffinomas who had visited the Korean Hansen Welfare Association Hospital were enrolled to participate in the study. The number of paraffinomas was 56, and the mean age of the patients was 73 years. A retrospective evaluation of the cosmetic results and recurrence rate was performed. RESULTS: Of the 56 surgically treated paraffinomas, 30 lesions were treated using primary closure, 20 lesions were treated with skin graft, and 6 lesions were treated with skin flap. The cosmetic outcomes, which were assessed using a four-point grading scale, were excellent in 10.7% (6/56), good in 25% (14/56), fair in 38% (21/56), and poor in 28% (15/56) of the patients. There were no significant differences among the three surgical procedures with respect to the cosmetic results. The recurrence rate was 33% (10/31) in the primary closure group, 50% (10/20) in the skin graft group, and 17% (1/6) in the skin flap group. There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate among the three surgical procedures. CONCLUSION: The extensive and aggressive curettage of lesions is very important to reduce recurrence rate. When the older age of the patients is considered in conjunction with the simplicity of the operation and the total operation time, primary closure is considered the treatment of choice both cosmetically and practically.

Background: Patient wanted to restore her lost teeth with implants in the lower left first molar and second premolar region. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) revealed inadequate bone width and height around future implant sites. The extraction socket of second premolar area revealed inadequate socket healing with sparse bone fill after 4 months of extraction. Aim: To evaluate the clinical feasibility of using a collagen physical resorbable barrier made of human pericardium (HP) to augment localized alveolar ridge defects for the subsequent placement of dental implants. Materials and Methods: Ridge augmentation was done in the compromised area using Puros® demineralized bone matrix (DBM) Putty with chips and an HP allograft membrane. Horizontal (width) and vertical hard tissue measurements with CBCT were recorded on the day of ridge augmentation surgery, 4 month and 7 months follow‑up. Intra oral periapical taken 1 year after implant installation showed minimal crestal bone loss. Results: Bone volume achieved through guided bone regeneration was a gain of 4.8 mm horizontally (width) and 6.8 mm vertically in the deficient ridge within a period of 7 months following the procedure. Conclusion and Clinical Implications: The results suggested that HP Allograft membrane may be a suitable component for augmentation of localized alveolar ridge defects in conjunction with DBM with bone chips.
