  • Treatment of Large Avulsion Injury in Perianal, Sacral, and Perineal
    Hu et al. BMC Surgery (2019) 19:65 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12893-019-0529-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Treatment of large avulsion injury in perianal, sacral, and perineal regions by island flaps or skin graft combined with vacuum assisted closure Fu Xing Hu1†, Xiao Xuan Hu2†, Xue Lin Yang1, Xing Hai Han1, Yong Bo Xu3, Kun Li3, Li Yan3*† and Hai Bo Chu3*† Abstract Background: Traumatic avulsion injuries to the anus, although uncommon, can result in serious complications and even death. Management of anal avulsion injuries remains controversial and challenging. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effects of treating large skin and subcutaneous tissue avulsion injuries in the perianal, sacral, and perineal regions with island flaps or skin graft combined with vacuum assisted closure. Methods: Island flaps or skin graft combined with vacuum assisted closure, diverting ileostomy, the rectum packed with double-lumen tubes around Vaseline gauze, negative pressure drainage with continuous distal washing, wounds with skin grafting as well as specialized treatment were performed. Results: The injuries healed in all patients. Six cases had incomplete perianal avulsion without wound infection. Wound infection was seen in four cases with annular perianal avulsion and was controlled, and the separated prowl lacuna was closed. The survival rate in 10 patients who underwent skin grafting was higher than 90%. No anal stenosis was observed after surgery, and ileostomy closure was performed at 3 months (six cases) and 6 months (four cases) after surgery, respectively. Conclusions: Covering a wound with an island flap or skin graft combined with vacuum assisted closure is successful in solving technical problems, protects the function of the anus and rapidly seals the wound at the same time.

  • After Intraspinal Repair of C5–T1 Brachial Plexus Avulsion Injury

The Periphery Nerve Injury Unit, The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore; Peripheral Neuropathy Unit, Imperial College, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom; and Department of Neurosurgery, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden This 9-year-old boy sustained a complete right-sided C5–T1 brachial plexus avulsion injury in a motorcycle acci- dent. He underwent surgery 4 weeks after the accident. The motor-related nerve roots in all parts of the avulsed brachial plexus were reconnected to the spinal cord by reimplantation of peripheral nerve grafts. Recovery in the proximal part of the arm started 8 to 10 months later. Motor function was restored throughout the arm and also in the intrinsic mus- cles of the hand by 2 years postoperatively. The initial severe excruciating pain, typical after nerve root avulsions, dis- appeared completely with motor recovery. The authors observed good recruitment of regenerated motor units in all parts of the arm, but there were cocontractions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation produced response in all muscles, with prolonged latency and smaller amplitude compared with the intact side. There was inspiration-evoked muscle activity in proximal arm muscles—that is, the so-called “breathing arm” phenomenon.

  • Delayed Diagnosis of Ureteropelvic Junction Avulsion in a Child Owing to Unstable Hemodynamics Jae Min Chung, Su Yung Kim and Sang Don Lee
    CASE STUDY Delayed diagnosis of ureteropelvic junction avulsion in a child owing to unstable hemodynamics Jae Min Chung, Su Yung Kim and Sang Don Lee Background. A 7-year-old previously healthy girl was injured in a traffic accident and presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain, microscopic hematuria, and wide skin defects and deep lacerations on the left flank, left upper abdomen, and right inguinal area. Initial CT of the abdomen was unremarkable. 3 weeks later, the patient complained of abdominal distension, left flank pain, and fever. Investigations. Blood and urine tests, CT of the abdomen, chest X-ray, antegrade pyelography, intravenous urography, renal ultrasonography and diuretic renal scan. Diagnosis. Complete avulsion injury of the left ureteropelvic junction Management. The patient underwent 11 plastic reconstructive surgeries, including a skin grafting operation. A percutaneous nephrostomy was performed for temporary diversion. After complete healing of the left flank wound, open pyeloplasty was performed to create a ureteropelvic anastomosis with stent. The patient was discharged 1 week after surgery and the stent was removed 5 weeks later. 5 years after pyeloplasty, her renal function was normal and she had experienced no complications. Chung, J.

  • Timing of Surgery in Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury: a Systematic Review
    LITERATURE REVIEW J Neurosurg 130:1333–1345, 2019 Timing of surgery in traumatic brachial plexus injury: a systematic review Enrico Martin, BS,1,2 Joeky T. Senders, BS,1,2 Aislyn C. DiRisio, BS,2 Timothy R. Smith, MD, PhD, MPH,2 and Marike L. D. Broekman, MD, PhD, JD1,2 1Department of Neurosurgery, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands; and 2Computational Neuroscience Outcomes Center, Department of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts OBJECTIVE Ideal timeframes for operating on traumatic stretch and blunt brachial plexus injuries remain a topic of de- bate. Whereas on the one hand spontaneous recovery might occur, on the other hand, long delays are believed to result in poorer functional outcomes. The goal of this review is to assess the optimal timeframe for surgical intervention for traumatic brachial plexus injuries. METHODS A systematic search was performed in January 2017 in PubMed and Embase databases according to the PRISMA guidelines. Search terms related to “brachial plexus injury” and “timing” were used. Obstetric plexus palsies were excluded. Qualitative synthesis was performed on all studies. Timing of operation and motor outcome were collect- ed from individual patient data. Patients were categorized into 5 delay groups (0–3, 3–6, 6–9, 9–12, and > 12 months). Median delays were calculated for Medical Research Council (MRC) muscle grade ≥ 3 and ≥ 4 recoveries. RESULTS Forty-three studies were included after full-text screening. Most articles showed significantly better motor outcome with delays to surgery less than 6 months, with some studies specifying even shorter delays. Pain and quality of life scores were also significantly better with shorter delays.
