Background: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Role 3 Multinational Medical Unit (R3-MMU) is a tertiary care trauma facility that receives casualties, both coalition and civilian, and provides humanitarian medical assistance when able to the Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan. We examined the cohort of pediatric patients evaluated at the facility during a 16-month period to determine the characteristics and care requirements of this unique patient population.
Methods: A database of Afghan patients younger than 18 years of age admitted to the NATO R3-MMU between January 2010 and April 2011 was developed from the Joint Theatre Trauma Registry.
Background: We report one surgeon's experience of corrective surgery for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) over a 10-year span and comment on factors that influence longer term outcomes. Septal myectomy (SM) and adjunctive procedures, including shortening of the aorta, a novel technique in HOCM patients, are described.
Methods: Perioperative data were obtained by retrospective review of institutional surgical databases between 2001 and 2011.
