[Fournier gangrene].
Fournier's gangrene is a relatively rare, mixed aerobic and anaerobic soft tissue infection in the perineoscrotal area. Although it is convenient to give it a separate name, it is really either necrotizing fasciitis or nonclostridial myonecrosis of the scrotal and perineal areas. The condition frequently develops from perineal diseases, including perianal abscess, and fistulas, inflamed haemorrhoids and indwelling urethral catheter. In patients with Fournier's gangrene morbidity is extreme and mortality high. This article is based on a retrospective study of 15 cases of Fournier's gangrene, 13 in male and 2 in female patients. A combination of surgery and antibiotics was used to treat 9 patients. The last 6 cases were treated with a combination of surgery, antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen. In 13 cases, the diagnosis was made on the basis of the fulminating progression of the infection to a scrotal gangrene, identification of multiple underlying pathogenic organisms and toxaemia. In the 2 female patients, a similar infection developed in the labia majora and perineum and extended to the buttocks and the anterior abdominal wall.

[Therapy of pilonidal sinus with the Limberg transposition flap].
Pilonidal sinus can not be mentioned as a minor surgery procedure because of high recurrence rate, high morbidity and long disability period. In our clinic between the years of 1988-1991, 92 pilonidal sinus cases were treated primarily with Limberg's flap technique. Only in two cases, late wound healing was detected, no other complications and no recurrences were seen. Compared with other primary treatment methods, Limberg's flap technique was observed to be much more convenient for pilonidal sinus cases.

[Syndrome of solitary rectal ulcer--a rare cause of recurrent rectal hemorrhage].
While the clinical symptoms and signs of SRUS are quite obvious, etiology and treatment of the disease remain to be obscure. Although the lesion is usually not solitary this name has been used for the disease. According to other authors, we also find this term inappropriate. During the last 5 years 6 cases of SRUS have been diagnosed, treated and prospectively assessed in the surgical clinic of Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty (Istanbul). Three patients were treated successfully by conservative means, transanal excision was performed and defects were sutured primarily in the other three. In one patient recurrence was seen 8 days after the transanal excision; transabdominal rectopexy was performed 6 months later. All patients have been followed up with no complaints.
