Propeller Flap Reconstruction Following Pilonidal Cyst Excision: A Single-Center Experience With Same-Day Discharge.

Introduction: Reconstruction following pilonidal cyst resection must balance risk of recurrence, healing time, and resumption of functional routine. Propeller flaps provide a reliable and effective reconstructive option. This study highlights our experience with propeller flap reconstruction following pilonidal cyst resection and demonstrates the efficacy of same-day discharge.

A case of necrotizing fasciitis of the breast following lumpectomy and oncoplastic closure.

Background: NF is a life-threatening soft tissue infection that most commonly occurs in the lower extremity. While presenting symptoms such as erythema, severe pain, sepsis, and wound crepitation are well documented, diagnosis of NF of the breast often is obscured by a low clinical index of suspicion due to its relative rarity as well as by the breast parenchyma that physically separates the underlying fascia and overlying skin. Several risk factors have previously been identified, such as underlying infection, diabetes, advanced age, and immunosuppression.

Blunt splenic injury during colonoscopy: Is it as rare as we think?

Background: Post colonoscopy blunt splenic injury (PCBSI) is a rarely reported and poorly recognized event. We analyzed cases of PCBSI managed at our hospital and compared them to existing literature.

Methods: We identified 5 patients admitted with PCBSI through chart review.
