Excellent Clinical Outcome

The authors describe a 43-year-old patient who had a mediastinal mass that became infected after a transbronchial needle aspirate biopsy. A paraspinal, extrapleural window with a saline-lidocaine mixture was created that allowed the placement of a percutaneous drainage catheter into the infected lesion. This procedure resulted in an excellent clinical outcome, and obviated the need for a thoracotomy and more invasive surgical management.

We present an unusual case of acute ischaemic stroke secondary to thrombosed mycotic aneurysm with subsequent early aneurysmal rupture and subarachnoid haemorrhage, successfully treated with endovascular coil embolisation of the thrombosed segment. Imaging correlates are presented demonstrating successful endovascular management despite vessel occlusion precluding angiographic visualisation of the aneurysmal segment. Imaging and clinical follow-up is provided demonstrating durable occlusion and excellent clinical outcome with full functional recovery.

Abdominal Abscess

Forty-two abdominal and retroperitoneal abscesses were drained percutaneously under ultrasound guidance. A success rate of 85.7% was achieved. Subsequent surgery was required in only 5 patients. Postoperative and spontaneous abscesses did equally well. Most intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal abscesses are amenable to this form of percutaneous drainage. The procedure requires only local anaesthesia and is well tolerated. Surgical management should probably now be reserved for those cases which are considered unsuitable for percutaneous drainage or which fail to resolve following this procedure.

Feasible Option

AbstractSurgical management of breast carcinoma has evolved to include more breast conserving techniques such as skin-, nipple-, and areola-sparing mastectomies, as improved cosmesis becomes an increasing concern. However, the oncologic risk of these procedures must be strongly considered before such techniques can be widely adopted. Here we review available literature on these techniques and their associated clinical outcome. From our own experience, as well as from that reported, we conclude that nipple-, skin-, and areola-sparing mastectomies in carefully selected patients can have safe oncologic outcomes comparable to more traditional surgical techniques and therefore may be a feasible option for breast cancer management.

Open acromial fractures are a rare set of fractures. We report a case of Gustilo IIIA open acromial fracture (14A2 as per OTA scapular fracture classification) that was isolated from any other injury. Our patient had a good recovery and showed excellent clinical outcome after irrigation and screw fixation of the acromial fracture. We also reviewed the literature for other cases of open acromial fracture.

AbstractManagement of the acute anastomotic leak is complex and patient-specific. Clinically stable patients often benefit from a nonoperative approach utilizing antibiotics with or without percutaneous drainage. Clinically unstable patients or nonresponders to conservative management require operative intervention. Surgical management is dictated by the degree of contamination and inflammation but includes drainage with proximal diversion, anastomotic resection with end-stoma creation, or reanastomosis with proximal diversion. Newer therapies, including colorectal stenting, vacuum-assisted rectal drainage, and endoscopic clipping, have also been described.
