Self-inflicted stab wounds are seldom very grave. We report a 25-year-old man who inflicted stab wounds with a glass piece under the influence of alcohol. This led to evisceration and later degloving injury to the small bowel. He recovered following surgery.
A 17-year-old man presented with signs of peritonitis. Laparotomy revealed gangrene of the stomach without obvious cause. The patient underwent total gastrectomy with esophago-jejunal anastomosis with formation of jejunal pouch. Bacterial culture of the peritoneal fluid grew Strept. pyogenes and E. coli. The patient was discharged on day 21 after a stormy postoperative course.
