In our case study, the left ear of a 57-year-old male patient was subtotally amputated due to an iron-plate cutting accident. Only a 5-mm inferior skin pedicle connected the amputated ear to the lobule. The ear was reattached with primary suture without microsurgery. The reattached ear healed uneventfully.

Minimally Invasive Fetoscopic Resection of Life-Threatening Amniotic Band Constrictions in a Human Fetus at 22 + 2 Weeks of Gestation Complicated by Subtotal Chorioamniotic Separation and Partial Placental Abruption.

Unlabelled: Amniotic band syndrome is a constrictive phenomenon in fetal development that can provoke limb autoamputation, malformation, trunk division, and umbilical cord strangulation. The latter two complications will ultimately lead to fetal demise if left untreated. If detected early enough, select cases may benefit from prenatal resection of the amniotic bands, thus preventing amputation and fetal death.

Toxic shock syndrome secondary to Group A infection is a rare but serious cause of women's morbidity and mortality which can easily be misdiagnosed. A 37-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in a state of shock after a two-day history of abdominal pain, fever, diarrhoea and green vaginal discharge. Following extensive investigations, she was proved to have septic shock secondary to Group A Despite receiving intravenous antibiotics, she required explorative laparotomy, which proceeded to subtotal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.

Background: Microsurgical emergency revascularization surgery for traumatic upper-extremity amputations demands high resource use. Injury details and patient characteristics influence the decision of whether to revascularize or revise an amputation involving the upper extremity. Our aim was to study associations between those factors and unsuccessful revascularization to provide information for clinical decision-making regarding amputation injuries.

Background: Central venous catheter (CVC) is often used in the perioperative management of esophageal cancer. The position of the CVC tip has been reported to shift with body positioning and, although infrequent, may traverse into the azygos vein arch. Herein, we describe a case where a migrated CVC tip in the azygous vein arch was identified during esophageal cancer surgery, preventing CVC dissection concurrent with azygous vein arch resection.

Article Synopsis
- Hand injuries in equestrian sports are common and can lead to long recovery times and significant economic costs, particularly arising during horse handling rather than riding.
- A study of 39 patients revealed that most injuries (53.8%) were caused by traction from lead ropes or bridles, with a high incidence of serious injuries including fractures and avulsion amputations.
- To reduce these injuries, the study suggests the use of protective gloves and safety equipment like self-opening panic hooks with overload protection.
