ABSTRACT

Radiological imaging is often used for the preoperative localization of foreign body following blast injury, but their utility in case of migration during intra‑operative period is limited. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been used for intra‑operative localization and removal of intra‑cardiac foreign body; however, reports for localization of extracardiac migrating foreign body are few. Preoperative radiological imaging, in a victim of factory blast‑injury, suggested foreign body in the posterior mediastinum. However, the intra‑operative TEE showed it in the left atrium, which later migrated into the left ventricle necessitating a change in surgical approach for its removal.

ABSTRACT

Amputations associated with fireworks are customarily treated by stump revision resulting in permanent disability. In this case report, we present an eight-year old boy who suffered an amputation of his right distal index finger at the level of the epiphyseal disk with degloving injury of the amputated finger caused by fireworks. Successful re-implantation was achieved. Two-year follow-up revealed fair cosmesis and acceptable functional and aesthetic recovery though the free distal phalanx had been absorbed completely. Re-implantation of a degloving amputation finger caused by fireworks is possible and can provide good distal soft tissue coverage and recovery ofsensory and motor functions.


Las amputaciones relacionadas con fuegos artificiales son tratadas habitualmente por revisión de muñón, lo que trae como resultado una discapacidad permanente. En este reporte de caso, presentamos a un niño de 8 años que sufrió una amputación de su dedo índice derecho distal a nivel del disco epifisario con lesión por desguantamiento del dedo amputado causada por fuegos artificiales. Se logró una re-implantación exitosa. Los dos años de seguimiento revelaron una corrección quirúrgica cosmética satisfactoria, así como una recuperación funcional y estética aceptable, aunque la falange distal libre había sido absorbida completamente. La re-implantación de un dedo amputado por desguantamiento causado por fuegos artificiales es posible y puede proporcionar buena cobertura de tejido suave distal y recuperación de las funciones sensoriales y motoras.

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones musculoesqueléticas masivas causadas por la acción de la onda expansiva constituyen eventos graves para el paciente que las recibe y difíciles para el médico que las atiende. Se incluyeron aspectos sobre la fisiopatología de las lesiones por onda expansiva y algunos elementos que deben caracterizar al cirujano que presta atención a lesionados graves. Se concluyó que la atención al lesionado complejo precisa de una buena organización e incluye una atención prehospitalaria eficaz para comenzar la resucitación, y el cirujano asistente requiere de un alto nivel de competencia y desempeño
