Audit of 'surgery in general' in an African teaching hospital.

A 1-year prospective audit of 2233 operations performed by one general surgical unit in a Central African teaching hospital is presented. In addition to the usual 'general surgical' procedures, operations also included emergency craniotomy, reconstructive surgery for open fractures, and hysterectomy. There were 37 (1.7%) postoperative deaths and 45 other deaths in non-operated patients. Ten of 14 deaths due to sepsis in the 20-40-year age group were associated with HIV infection. The implications for teaching and training of surgical specialists in the tropics are discussed.

Reconstruction of the mandible using the scapular spine pedicled upon trapezius muscle; description of the posterior approach to the transverse cervical vessels.

We describe the reconstruction of the mandible using the spine of the scapula pedicled upon trapezius in a woman who had undergone previous mandibular irradiation and surgery. We show how the vascular supply to the trapezius scapular spine compound flap can be approached posteriorly and the spine of the scapula used to provide good length and contour for replacement of a wide mandibular defect.
