Sympathetic dysfunction dermatitis in a revascularised upper extremity after near-total amputation - A case report and review of literature.

Commonly reported complications after revascularisation or replantation of extremity are vascular thrombosis leading to complete or partial failure, bony non-union or malunion, joint stiffness and incomplete or abnormal sensory recovery. Sympathetic dysfunction dermatitis is an unreported complication after revascularisation or replantation surgery which results due to denervation of the extremity. We report a case of a young adult who developed eczematous dermatitis over the revascularised upper limb and discuss the role of sympathetic dysfunction in the development of these skin lesions.

Antibiotic susceptibility of wound isolates in plastic surgery patients at a tertiary care centre.

Context: Wound infection increases the hospital stay and adversely affects the recovery of patients. Culture and sensitivity of wound isolates help in proper diagnosis and management of these patients.

Aim: To identify common bacteria causing wound infections and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern.

Embryogenesis of esophageal atresia: Is localized vascular accident a factor?

Several theories on embryogenesis of esophageal atresia have been proposed, none could explain the whole spectrum of this anomaly. We report a new variant of esophageal atresia in which the two blind pouches were joined by an atretic band. Histology of the atretic part showed groups of striated muscle arranged haphazardly without any lumen.
