How a laparoscopy for ovarian cyst causes anuria?

Considering the proximity of the lower urinary tract to gynecologic organs, several iatrogenic injuries of the bladder or ureters can occur. We report the case of 25 year old woman who suffered from bilateral ureteral injury causing renal failure following a laparoscopic detorsion of the left ovarian cyst.Double J stents were placed for 2 months with a favorable post operative course.

Grafting both acute wound site and adjacent donor site with the same graft: an easy and safe procedure to improve healing and minimize pain in elderly and bedridden patients.

In harvesting skin to cover the defect caused by a burn, a second wound is created, the donor site wound. We propose an alternative method to manage the donor site: taking a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) from a donor site adjacent to the burn wound to be treated, and meshing at a 3:1 ratio to cover both sites at once. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of covering both burn wound and adjacent donor site with the same STSG in elderly and bedridden patients.

[The risk of iatrogenic burn must not be forgotten while struggling against nosocomial infection: rules and precautions in operating rooms].

Accidental burns in the operating room are hopefully rare events, but it could happen during any surgical procedure. To reduce the nosocomial infection, the use of alcohol-base products is recommended by all the recent guidelines. Yet these inflammables products represent a potential danger if they are not carefully employed, and the surgeon's responsibility can be involved.
