A novel clinico-surgical algorithm for management of maxillofacial gunshot wound injuries

Management of Craniocerebral Gunshot Injuries: A Review

Craniocerebral gunshot injuries (CGI) are increasingly encountered by neurosurgeons in civilian and urban settings. Unfortunately this is a prevalent condition in developing countries, with major armed conflicts which is not very likely to achieve a high rate of prevention. Management goals should focus on early aggressive, vigorous resuscitation and correction of coagulopathy; those with stabl...

Management of sport-related maxillofacial injuries.

By analyzing sports-related maxillofacial fractures, we sought to describe preventive measures and recovery times until sporting activities could be resumed. Between January 2001 and December 2006, 1241 patients were hospitalized as a result of maxillofacial fractures. The patients with sports-related maxillofacial fractures were analyzed based on age, sex, type of sport, injury mechanism, trau...

Designing the ideal model for assessment of wound contamination after gunshot injuries: a comparative experimental study

BACKGROUND Modern high-velocity projectiles produce temporary cavities and can thus cause extensive tissue destruction along the bullet path. It is still unclear whether gelatin blocks, which are used as a well-accepted tissue simulant, allow the effects of projectiles to be adequately investigated and how these effects are influenced by caliber size. METHOD Barium titanate particles were dis...

Gunshot Wound of Bladder

However, three weeks after this visit to Hospital on the 28th of January, he came again complaining that he was rapidly becoming weak through large losses of blood in his urine. A specimen showed that very large quantities were being passed. The first thought that crossed my mind was that there were more pieces of necrosed bone in the bladder, but on passing a small sound, which entered the nec...
