Iatrogenic deep musculocutaneous radiation injury following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Radiation-induced skin injury has been reported for multiple fluoroscopic procedures. Previous studies have indicated that prolonged fluoroscopic exposure during even a single percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may lead to cutaneous radiation injury. We document a novel case of deep muscle damage requiring wide local debridement and muscle flap reconstruction in a 59-year-old man with a large radiation-induced wound to the lower thoracic region following 1 prolonged PCI procedure.

Surgical management of acquired (cicatricial) buried penis in an adult patient.

The pathological entity of the buried penis occurs most commonly in children and is usually managed by urologists. Its presentation in the adult population may invoke plastic surgery expertise. The pathophysiology of buried penis in the adult is entirely distinct from that in children, and management principles may be complicated.
