Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a long‐term condition that causes abscesses on the skin especially in groin, between buttocks, under breasts and armpits.

BACKGROUND Some grafts harvested from the groin area do not become hyperpigmented and in an individual with multiple pieces of grafts, the hyperpigmentation of the pieces may vary. This study evaluates the orientation of the inset of groin grafts according to their donor sites (superior-inferior) and its role in graft hyperpigmentation. METHODS Patients with hand burn contracture or syndacty...

Dynamicity of stream channels along with environmental concern is the key issue to address in lowland rivers like Jamuna in Bangladesh. The groins are important structures in attaining the improved river environment, but their effective functioning is not evident yet with the present design. Considering the present demands, an approach through modification of groin configurations is planned to ...

A 55-year-old man presented with intermittent episodes of urinary leak through the left groin following an abscess drainage at that site at the age of 5 years. Since then he had been suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections and urinary leak, which used to be treated symptomatically. Intravenous urogram (IVU), voiding cystourethrogram (VCU), and cystoscopy done in our institution reveal...

Two-hundred and ninety-four male and 224 female randomly selected recreational cyclists responded to a mail questionnaire. Significant differences were observed between male and female cyclists' training characteristics. Overall, 85% of the cyclists reported one or more overuse injury, with 36% requiring medical treatment. The most common anatomical sites for overuse injury/complaints reported ...

Chronic groin pain in athletes is often difficult to diagnose and treat. There are many anatomic structures in the inguinal and groin region that have the potential to cause pain. We report 32 cases of a previously undescribed condition in athletes of "obturator neuropathy," a fascial entrapment of the obturator nerve where it enters the thigh. This condition represents a type of groin pain in ...

BACKGROUND Restoring the continuity of lymphatic drainage by lymphaticovenous or lymphaticolymphatic anastomosis was observed in the short term to be patent but eventually occluded because the elevated interstitial pressure will cause obliteration of these tiny, thin-walled, low-pressure lumens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of vascularized groin lymph node transfer usin...

BACKGROUND Groin pain in athletes is frequent and many different treatment options have been proposed. The current level of evidence for the efficacy of these treatments is unknown. OBJECTIVE Systematically review the literature on the efficacy of treatments for groin pain in athletes. METHODS Nine medical databases were searched in May 2014. INCLUSION CRITERIA treatment studies in athlet...

CONTEXT Sportsmen's groin, also called sports hernia and Gilmore groin, is one of the most frequent sports injuries in athletes and may place an athletic career at risk. It presents with acute or chronic groin pain exacerbated with physical activity. So far, there is little consensus regarding pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, or treatment. There have been various attempts to explain the cause...

In patients with sarcomas, or regional recurrence of the disease, radical resection and radiation therapy is indicated to achieve cure or palliation. As a result of radical surgery, extensive radiation, or infection in the pelvic, groin or thigh region, the development of large pelvic / groin / thigh defects present a difficult surgical problem. Musculocutaneous deep epigastric island-flaps, as...
