ABSTRACT

Background: An adequate reconstruction of foot soft tissue, specially in the sole, is crucial to restore functional capacity. Aim: To report the experience with reconstruction of sole soft tissues. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 12 patients aged 19 to 72 years (seven males), subjected to reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the sole. Results: The lesions were secondary to excisions of malignant melanomas in seven patients, old traumatisms in two patients, a burn lesion in one patient and a diabetic ulcer in one patient. The reconstruction techniques used were skin grafts in one patient, local flaps in eight and free flaps in three patients. Five patients experienced complications and one of these required a new reconstructive surgery. Functional recovery was adequate in 11 patients. Conclusions: Reconstructive surgery of the sole can achieve an adequate functional recovery in most operated patients.


Se presenta una casuística de 12 pacientes que requirieron reconstrucción de la planta del pie en el Hospital de la Universidad Católica entre los años 2005 y 2008. La etiología principal fueron lesiones tumorales en 7 casos; las técnicas de reconstrucción fueron: injerto de piel (1 paciente), colgajos locales (8 pacientes) y colgajos libres (3 pacientes). Hubo complicaciones en 5 pacientes, uno de los cuales requirió una nueva cirugía reconstructiva. La recuperación funcional fue adecuada en 11 de los 12 pacientes.

ABSTRACT

La laparoscopia ha pasado a constituir parte esencial del armamentario diagnóstico y terapéutico del cirujano actual. Por otro lado, existe un considerable porcentaje de error en las laparotomías, especialmente cuando están indicadas por la sospecha de una apendicitis aguda. Este estudio prospectivo analiza el rendimiento diagnóstico de la laparoscopia (LD) en cuadros agudos de dolor abdominal, en pacientes que tenían diagnóstico equívoco tras 24 horas de observación en el hospital y aplicación de métodos no invasivos. La serie la componen 13 pacientes atendidos entre diciembre de 1995 y julio de 1996. En todos la sospecha diagnóstico era apendicitis aguda. Se demostró patología en todos, comprobándose una apendicitis en siete. Sin embargo, en cuatro pacientes (38,8 por ciento) se evitó una laparotomía innecesaria al comprobarse una anexitis en tres y endometriosis en otra. Se concluye que la laparotomía diagnóstico, es de utilidad en un grupo seleccionado de enfermos con dolor abdominal agudo, especialmente mujeres jóvenes con sospecha de apendicitis

ABSTRACT

Leptospirosis is a world-spread zoonosis that is incidentally acquired by humans. It causes a diphasic febrile illness in which the Weil syndrome is its severest form, with renal, hepatic, clotting and central nervous system involvement. We report a 73 years old male, that was admitted to an intensive care unit with multiple organ failure due to leptospirosis. The clinical picture initially resembled a sepsis due to biliary tract obstruction and was operated, not finding a biliary tract obstruction. Considering the history of a fall to sewed waters, leptospirosis was suspected and treatment with penicillin was started, obtaining a full recovery of the patient
