BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Meckel diverticulum can present with a variety of complications but is often found incidentally during other surgical procedures. The role of laparoscopy in the management of Meckel diverticulum is established. We reviewed our experience with complicated cases of Meckel diverticulum in children managed with laparoscopy. METHODS A 15-year retrospective chart review re...

Penile augmentation by the injection of mineral oil provokes many serious, undesirable effects. Although there are reports of complications such as deformity, ulceration, necrosis, and erectile dysfunction, Fournier's gangrene resulting from the injection of petroleum jelly into the penis has not been reported. Here, we present a 42-year-old man with penile vaselinoma causing Fournier's gangren...

Synergistic gangrene is an uncommon soft tissue infection classically occurring at surgical sites. Primary cases are rare but a high index of suspicion is paramount in treating the disease successfully. We present the first case of primary synergistic gangrene affecting the breast which was successfully managed through a combination of resuscitation, parenteral antibiotics and surgery. It is re...

In systemic sclerosis, digital ulcers and gangrene are somewhat common clinical characteristics of obliterative vasculopathy. These manifestations increase morbidities, such as pain, infections, and acroosteolysis. However, patient responses to the appropriate treatments are often inadequate. We treated a patient with systemic sclerosis who had a refractory digital ulcer and gangrene with bosen...

A 5-month-old infant with symmetrical gangrene of the extremities was recently admitted to the Hospital for Sick Children. This condition is now rare in the paediatric age group, and only three other children with similar features have been seen at this hospital in the past 15 years. Peripheral vascular obstruction due to primary arterial disease would appear to be a significant cause of limb g...

Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis, involving perineal, perianal, or genital regions, and it constitutes a true surgical emergency. Surgical excision of all necrotic tissue is required, and multiple debridements may be necessary to remove all nonviable tissue. After surgical intervention for debridement, reconstruction may be necessary. We present our experience ...

Warfarin induced skin necrosis (WISN) is a rare but important side effect of warfarin. Early diagnosis may lessen the amount of permanent tissue damage and can prevent progression to full thickness skin necrosis. So, physicians should be aware of such a complication. Screening for protein C or S or anti-thrombin deficiencies, or presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies before beginning warfarin...
