[Combined approach in management of penetrating injury of vertebral artery].
Penetrating injuries of the vertebral artery are not common. Although surgical control of this type of injury is well-documented, the combined approach (surgery and packing for temporary control of bleeding, followed by angiography and embolization for permanent control) is now recognized and practiced. We describe a 40-year-old man who was stabbed in the neck. He was rushed to the operating theater in hemorrhagic shock. A vertebral artery injury was identified and packed. Angiography and embolization permanently controlled the bleeding. The combined approach is safe and we recommend it in those in whom bleeding from the vertebral artery is initially well controlled with packing.

[Chylothorax following penetrating injury].
We describe a 19-year-old man with 9 stab wounds of the chest. Initial evaluation revealed paraplegia at the D-10 level and bilateral hemothorax. 2 days after admission right-sided chylothorax was diagnosed. Fasting and total parenteral nutrition resulted in complete clearance. Chylothorax can cause major metabolic consequences, but prompt treatment results in full recovery.

[Blunt perineal injuries].
Blunt perineal and anal injuries are rare. We describe 2 patients who suffered injury to the perineum and anal canal due to blunt force. New surgical techniques for the reconstruction of the sphincteric mechanism are promising and should be used by the initial treating surgeon as minimal procedures in the perineal region. Anal tagging, minimal debridement, approximation of the edges of perineal laceration, repeated irrigation and loop-colostomy for fecal diversion should be the only initial surgical procedures.

The use of hemorrhage occluder pins for controlling paravertebral intercostal artery bleeding: case report.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a technique for arresting traumatic bleeding uncontrollable by conventional means. METHODS AND RESULTS: Major intrathoracic bleeding was stopped in a 17-year-old boy who had been stabbed in his right chest by using a Hemorrhage Occluder Pin (Surgical Instruments Inc., Placetia, Calif). CONCLUSIONS: The use of occluder pins to stop bleeding from intercostal arteries may be life-saving.
