Case records of 744 renal transplant recipients who underwent surgery between January 2000 and December 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. There were a total of 36 (4.

Residual amoebic liver abscess in a prospective renal transplant recipient.

Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is by far the most common extraintestinal manifestation of invasive amoebiasis.

Vesicovaginal fistula repair using tunneled gluteal cutaneous fat-pad flap.

Tissue interposition in vesicovaginal repair is associated with better cure rates especially in failed repairs. Commonly used tissues include the labial fat pad in transvaginal approach and vascularized omental, peritoneal flaps or ileal patch in transabdominal approach. We report a case of a failed vesicovaginal fistula buttressed with a gluteal cutaneous flap.
