Abstract

We report the fifth case of congenital prepubic sinus that goes from the anterior wall of the bladder through the public symphysis to the skin. The various embryological theories that could be responsible for this pathology are discussed, and according to us, it seems to be a variant of dorsal urethral duplication.

The use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor to promote wound healing in a neutropenic patient after head and neck surgery.

BACKGROUND: Neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction, in association with a variety of diseases, has been shown to play a role in poor wound healing. Wound breakdown with fistula formation in patients undergoing total laryngectomy results in significant morbidity and increased hospital stay. Although malnutrition, prior radiation, diabetes, and other diseases are recognized as factors predisposing patients with head and neck cancer to developing fistulas, neutrophil dysfunction should also be considered. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been used successfully to treat neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction. METHODS: This study was conducted as a case report. RESULTS: We present the first report of a neutropenic head and neck cancer patient with a persistent wound of 6 months' duration who showed dramatic improvement after treatment with G-CSF. CONCLUSION: We conclude that G-CSF may represent a useful adjunct in patients with persistent wound healing problems and neutropenia despite adequate treatment by conventional means. Further clinical experience with G-CSF in patients with delayed healing is indicated.

Pouching a draining duodenal cutaneous fistula: a case study.

Blockage of the mesenteric artery typically causes necrosis to the colon, requiring extensive surgical resection. In severe cases, the necrosis requires removal of the entire colon, creating numerous problems for the WOC nurse when pouching the opening created for effluent. This article describes the management of a draining duodenal fistula in a middle-aged woman, who survived surgery for a blocked mesenteric artery that necessitated the removal of the majority of the small and large intestine. Nutrition, skin management, and pouch options are described over a number of months as the fistula evolved and a stoma was created.
