Objective: To assess the efficacy of the extra long scapular-lateral thoracic-ilioinguinal siamese flap to repair the contracture deformity of perineal scar caused by burn and to discuss its characteristics.
Methods: From January 2008 to August 2009, 9 patients with contracture deformity of perineal scar after deep II degree to III degree burn were treated. There were 7 males and 2 females aged from 22 to 54 years (35.4 years on average). The course of disease ranged from 8 months to 5 years. All cases had central type of perineal scar. Among the cases, 3 cases were complicated by abdominal scar, 4 cases by legs scar, and 2 cases by abdominal and legs scar. Scar ulcer was observed in 2 cases. The opening-closing angle of bilateral lower extremities was (29.4 +/- 8.8) degrees. And anus could not expose entirely so that squatting and relieving the bowels were difficult in 6 cases. Defect areas after scar resection ranged from 20 cm x 6 cm to 28 cm x 8 cm. The size of extra long scapular-lateral thoracic-ilioinguinal siamese flap ranged from 35 cm x 12 cm to 58 cm x 15 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly.
Results: Blister and necrosis occurred in 1 case and was cured after dressing changed, and others flaps survived with wounds primary healing. Incision at donor site healed by first intention. All cases were followed up 6-12 months. The perineal function improved and the partial deformities were corrected. The opening-closing angle of bilateral lower extremities increased to (75.6 +/- 11.3) degrees, showing significant difference between pre- and post-operation (P < 0.05). The functions of squatting and relieving the bowels recovered well. The perineal scar adhesion recurred in 2 cases after 6 months of operation and were cured after scar resection and expanding flaps transposition.
Conclusion: In view of large donating region, great facility for transposition, stable and sufficient blood supply, reutilization as expanded flap, it was an effective treatment and a beneficial trial by applying the transposition of the extra long scapular-lateral thoracic-ilioinguinal siamese flap for contracture deformity of perineal scar caused by burn.

A narrative review on the practice of genital mutilation among Arab adolescent females and a case report on a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst.

Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Symptoms after second-degree tears and in particular episiotomies are common. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence and degree of dyspareunia and level of satisfaction with the outcome of the perineal repair after a spontaneous second-degree tear compared to an episiotomy. Further, we aimed to identify risk factors for dyspareunia and dissatisfaction with the outcome.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of topical recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in improving the healing of burn wounds compared to standard treatments like nitrofurazone/Vitamin A.* -
- Conducted as a randomized double-blind trial with 40 participants, the results showed that those treated with rhEPO had significantly better wound healing outcomes and lower scar formation at follow-up visits.* -
- Overall, the findings suggest that topical rhEPO is a promising treatment for burn wounds, enhancing patient satisfaction without severe side effects.*
