[Postoperative complications after recrossectomy of the saphenofemoral junction].

The surgical procedure for recurrences at the saphenofemoral junction represents a great challenge for the surgeon due to the complex anatomic variability, the broad range of causes and the mostly extreme scar tissue. The incidences of postsurgical minor and major complications after recrossectomy in the groin area are determined and the clinical outcomes are analysed in this article. After specific and precise presurgical clinical and sonographical diagnoses having been undertaken a cutaneous incision is performed in the groin with the aid of tumescent local anaesthesia combined with total intravenous anaesthesia.

[Cutaneous metastases from a leiomyosarcoma of the testicular tunica albuginea].

Cutaneous metastases from a leiomyosarcoma of the testicular tunica albuginea are very rare. Primary leiomyosarcomas in this site are uncommon and furthermore cutaneous metastases develop only in 1,4% of all malignant tumors of the internal organs [10]. A 71 year old patient with such a sarcoma underwent primary excision.
