Transpubic urethroplasty: a single center experience.

Objective. To evaluate the long-term results of transpubic urethroplasty for pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects. Patients and Methods.

Single-stage preputial skin flap urethroplasty for long-segment urethral strictures: evaluation and determinants of success.

Objective: To determine the overall efficacy and predictors of success of the penile preputial flap in the management of complex urethral strictures >2.5 cm in length.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective and prospective study of 58 patients undergoing single-stage penile preputial flap urethroplasty for complex long-segment urethral strictures, without lichen sclerosus, repaired between May 2005 and April 2012 at our institution.

Honey dressing versus silver sulfadiazene dressing for wound healing in burn patients: a retrospective study.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effect of honey dressing and silver sulfadiazene (SSD) dressing on wound healing in burn patients.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 108 patients (14-68 years of age), with first and second degree burns of less than 50% of the total body surface area admitted to our institution, over a period of 5 years (2004-2008). Fifty-one patients were treated with honey dressings and 57 with SSD.

Collagen dressing versus conventional dressings in burn and chronic wounds: a retrospective study.

Objective: Biological dressings like collagen are impermeable to bacteria, and create the most physiological interface between the wound surface and the environment. Collagen dressings have other advantages over conventional dressings in terms of ease of application and being natural, non-immunogenic, non-pyrogenic, hypo-allergenic, and pain-free. This study aims to compare the efficacy of collagen dressing in treating burn and chronic wounds with that of conventional dressing materials.

Large mucinous adenoma of pancreas presenting with recurrent pancreatitis.

Cystic pancreatic tumors are an unfamiliar and rare entity even after the advent of modern abdominal imaging. Mucinous pancreatic tumors presenting with features of pancreatitis is a rare phenomenon moreover it creates a diagnostic dilemma and can lead to mismanagement. We report here such a case of mucinous cyst adenoma presented as recurrent pancreatitis and mimicking as a pancreatic pseudocyst.

Congenital fibrosarcoma of the chest wall: report of a case.

Congenital fibrosarcoma (CFS) is a rare soft tissue tumour that usually occurs before the age of 1, and involves the distal extremities. The literature regarding the precise diagnosis and treatment of these tumours is limited. We present and discuss a case of CFS which ended fatally due to lung metastasis after 2 years.

Isolated renal artery thrombosis because of blunt trauma abdomen: report of a case with review of the literature.

Background: Isolated renal trauma in case of blunt trauma abdomen (BTA) is not common. Renal artery occlusion by thrombosis in such cases is seen very rarely. These cases had been traditionally treated by early nephrectomy, but nowadays, renal preservation is considered whenever possible.

A rare case of primary mucinous cystadenoma of spleen.

Unlabelled: Mucinous cystadenomas are relatively uncommon benign cystic tumors. Most of them are found in the ovary, pancreas, and appendix. Primary mucinous cystadenoma of spleen is extremely rare and only countable cases have been recorded.

Technique of anterior urethra urethroplasty using tunica albuginea of corpora cavernosa.

Objective: Over previous years, urethral stricture has constantly created a great problem in efforts to find a permanent cure for it. We describe a technique of anterior urethroplasty using tunica albuginea of corpora cavernosa.

Methods: After a midline penoscrotal incision, the bulbar or penile urethra along with corpus spongiosum was dissected from the corpora cavernosa.
