Penile replantation.

Penile amputation is rare and hence the paucity of experience and publication. We present our case of self-inflicted penile amputation, which was successfully managed with microsurgical replantation, with relevant literature review.

Diverse manifestations and management options in Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome: a single centre 10-year experience.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a well-known conglomeration of capillary malformations, bony or soft tissue hypertrophy, and abnormal deep or superficial veins. Although it generally presents with grossly enlarged limbs, it can present with more serious features like haematuria, haematochezia, and seizures. This retrospective study included patients admitted with the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in this institute from 2001-2010.

A prospective randomized controlled trial comparing negative pressure dressing and conventional dressing methods on split-thickness skin grafts in burned patients.

Introduction: Split-thickness skin grafting (SSG) is a technique used extensively in the care of burn patients and is fraught with suboptimal graft take when there is a less-than-ideal graft bed and/or grafting conditions. The technique of Negative Pressure Dressing (NPD), initially used for better wound healing has been tried on skin-grafts and has shown to increase the graft take rates. However, comparative studies between the conventional dressing and vacuum assisted closure on skin grafts in burn patients are unavailable.
