Reconstruction of the scrotum by thigh flaps.

We have done four cases of scrotal reconstruction. In these patients, the scrotal skin was lost as a result of either gangrene of the scrotum or from trauma, surgical or mechanical. The technique of coverage by thigh flaps is a single-staged operation. It gives a pleasing appearance to the genitalia and maintains the testicular function.

Intraperitoneal rupture of amebic liver abscess.

The traditional management of amebic liver abscess which has ruptured into the peritoneal cavity has been conservative and 70% to 90% fatal. Laparotomy with complete toilet of the abscess and the peritoneal cavity has shown encouraging results. A comparative study of the management of 36 cases of intraperitoneal rupture of amebic liver abscess was carried out. Twenty-one cases were treated by laparotomy with 85.5% survival. Mortality for 15 cases treated conservatively was 80%. We believe that intraperitoneal rupture of amebic liver abscess can now be treated by laparotomy with much better results than were possible before the advent of drugs such as metronidazole.
