Boyko V.V., Makarov V.V., Sochnieva A.L., Kritsak V.V.Residual foreign bodies in soft tissues are one of the main causes of chronical infection lesions and decrease in life quality. Surgical treatment is the most common way to relieve the patient from a foreign body. Often there is a question whether to remove a foreign body? On the one hand, all foreign bodies that are in the human body must be removed. On the other hand, in the absence of symptoms, the risk of surgery performed for the purpose of removal exceeds the risk associated with finding the foreign body. We would like to describe a practical case of removing a foreign body (Kirschner`s wires) from the left supraclavicular region. The young patient lived with a fragment of Kirschner's wire left after the osteosynthesis of the fractured clavicle for 5 years. Surgery to remove the residual foreign body was successful. On the 7th postoperative day the patient was discharged from the hospital under the supervision of surgeons at the place of residence.Key words: foreign body in soft tissue, Kirschner`s wire, surgical treatment. КЛІНІЧНИЙ ВИПАДОК ВИДАЛЕННЯ ЗАЛИШКОВ СТОРОННЬОГО ТІЛА З ЛІВОЇ НАДКЛЮЧИЧНОЇ ОБЛАСТІБойко В.В., Макаров В.В., Сочнева А.Л.,  Крицак В.В.Залишкові чужорідні тіла м'яких тканин залишаються однією з основних причин виникнення вогнища хронічної інфекції та зниження рівня якості життя. Хірургічне лікування основний спосіб позбавити хворого від наявності чужорідного агента. Часто виникає питання чи видаляти чужорідне тіло. З одного боку, усі сторонні тіла, що знаходяться в тілі людини, підлягають видаленню, з іншого боку при відсутності симптомів ризик операції, проводимої з метою видалення, перевищує ризик, пов'язаний з перебуванням чужорідного тіла. Ми хотіли б поділитися випадком видалення залишкового стороннього тіла (спиці Кіршнера) лівої надключичної ділянки із власної практики. Молода пацієнтка прожила з уламком спиці Кіршнера, залишеної після металлоостеосинтезу поламаної ключиці протягом 5 років. Операція з видалення залишкового стороннього тіла пройшла успішно. На 7 післяопераційну добу пацієнтка була виписана зі стаціонару під спостереження хірурги за місцем проживання.Ключові слова: чужорідне тіло м'яких тканин, спиця Кіршнера, хірургічне лікування. кЛИНИЧЕСКИЙ СЛУЧАЙ УДАЛЕНИЯ ОСТАТКОВ ИНОРОДНОГО ТЕЛА ИЗ ЛЕВОЙ ПОДКЛЮЧИЧНОЙ ОБЛАСТИ Бойко В.В., Макаров В.В., Сочнева А.Л.,  Крицак В.В.Остаточные инородные тела мягких тканей остаются одной из основных причин возникновения очага хронической инфекции и снижения уровня качества жизни. Хирургическое лечение основной способ избавить больного от наличия чужеродного агента. Часто возникает вопрос удалять ли инородное тело? С одной стороны, все инородные тела, находящиеся в теле человека, подлежат удалению, с другой стороны при отсутствии симптомов риск операции, производимой с целью удаления, превышает риск, связанный с нахождением инородного тела. Мы хотели бы поделится случаем удаления остаточного инородного тела (спицы Киршнера) левой надключичной области из собственной практики. Молодая пациентка прожила с обломком спицы Киршнера, оставленной после металлоостеосинтеза поломанной ключицы в течении 5 лет. Операция по удалению остаточного инородного тела прошла успешно. На 7 послеоперационные сутки пациентка была выписана из стационара под наблюдение хирурги по месту жительства.Ключевые слова: инородное тело мягких тканей, спица Киршнера, оперативное лечение.

Introduction: Necrotizing soft tissue infection is a potentially fatal ‘flesh-eating’ disease that requires prompt intervention to save a patient’s life. Identification of parameters that indicate worsening of the disease (predictors of mortality) is an important part in management that guides a surgeon towards rapid surgical treatment. Aims & Objectives: This retrospective study aims to identify factors that are associated with mortality in adults with NSTIs. This study also aims to propose solutions for the better management of these infection to improve surgical outcome and survival. Place and duration of study: OPD & Emergency of Surgical Unit I and II of Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore over a period of 10 years between the years 2010 to 2021. Material & Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological, retrospective study conducted on patients presenting in the Outpatients Department, as well as the Emergency of Surgical Unit I and II. A total of 72 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis. Results: Out of 72 patients, 31.94% of patients were receiving some form of immunosuppressive treatment (n=23), out of which 7 patients lost their life (30.43%, p=0.000). There was a preexisting immunosuppressive disease in 48.61% patients (n=35), and in this subset, a total of 10 patients didn’t recover (28.57%, p=0.000). 13 out of 17 patients who died received first debridement after 12 hours from presentation (p=0.021). High mortality was seen in patients who had the presence of shock at hospital admission. Conclusion: Delay in diagnosis and surgical treatment, the presence of shock at admission accompanied by evidence of organ dysfunction, increasing comorbidity index are reasons for the higher mortality seen in these patients of NSTIs. The timing of the first surgery is of the essence thus highlighting the importance of the “Golden Hour” for the Management of NSTIs.

Four patients with scleroderma involving the feet have been treated at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles by the authors. All children had severe deformity of the feet secondary to the scleroderma. A review of the literature reveals little past mention of indications or treatments of this deformity in the past with the exception of the use of local steroids. Six feet in four children underwent orthopedic treatment. Treatment was primarily by casting to stretch soft tissues and gain as much correction as possible. Surgical correction of the remaining deformity by releasing the soft tissue contractures was then accomplished. Internal fixation of the foot in the corrected position was carried out in four cases. Three of the four patients showed significant improvement following soft tissue surgery and one patient was unchanged. Surgical treatment of the patient with scleroderma can be carried out safely as long as careful attention is paid to circulatory status and extensive preoperative casting and stretching of “soft” tissues is utilized.

Objectives To identify the epidemiological characteristics and outcome of patients who were discharged within 24 hours of emergency admission, and to explore methods to reduce inappropriate admission. Design Retrospective study. Setting Emergency admission in a public general hospital in Hong Kong. Patients Four hundred and ninety-one cases collected in a three-month period from 1st April 2000 to 30th June 2000, excluding those who died within 24 hours of admission. Main outcome measures Patients' epidemiological and clinical characteristics, specialty of admission, in-patient procedures performed, diagnosis upon discharge and destination of patients. Results During the study period, 8.8% of the 5,587 emergency admissions were discharged within 24 hours. Most of them were middle-aged males, triaged as category 3 and 4 non-trauma cases. The percentage of emergency Orthopaedic and Surgical admission resulting in discharge within 24 hours was 18.5% and 16.2% respectively, substantially higher than the percentage of emergency Medical and Paediatric admission (5.5% and 4.7% respectively). The most common diagnoses included orthopaedic open soft tissue injuries, orthopaedic closed fractures and dislocations, head injury, drug overdose, abdominal pain, ischaemic heart disease or chest pain and foreign body in throat. Overall, 20.8% of cases received some forms of orthopaedic procedures, 9% had computed tomography (CT) brain done, and 5.5% had OGD performed. Around 90% of cases with orthopaedic open soft tissue injuries and closed fractures or dislocations received intervention, 73% of head injury cases had CT brain done, and around 63% of patients with foreign body in throat received oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy (OGD). Overall, 14% of cases discharged themselves against medical advice or walked away after admission. Up to 9.8% were transferred to other hospitals within 24 hours. Around 54.8% were followed up in hospital after discharge, and re-admission was planned in 2.9% for elective procedures. Only 13 cases (2.6%) were re-admitted through A&E within one week with the same diagnosis into the same specialty. Conclusions The issue of ‘discharge within 24 hours’ should not automatically be regarded as inappropriate emergency admission. Upgrade of professional training and clinical supervision, improvement of administrative arrangement and clinical audit are possible measures to enhance the efficiency of hospital utilization.
