Patients infected with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are frequently victims of postoperative wound dehiscence due to low efficiency of the immune system that predisposes to delayed scaring and epithelization processes. This case report aimed to describe the successful use of medical ozone in the treatment of a dehisced wound in a feline patient that presented this type of FIV-associated complication. Here we present a case of a 12-year-old, mixed-breed, male, FIV-positive cat with purulent arthritis affecting the shoulder, elbow, and the carpal joints with subsequent periostitis and arthrogryposis affecting the right forelimb. After a thorough investigation (clinical examination, X-rays) it was decided that limb amputation would be the proper choice. The surgical wound did not tend to heal, followed by rejection of the suture material, skin necrosis, and wound dehiscence. After 13 days following the surgery with allopathic treatment and no improvement, oxygen-ozone-therapy was started. Clinically, oxygen-ozone therapy showed significant results after the first session: borders of the wound got into the contraction phase, got attached to the underlying tissues, and exudates were significantly diminished. The therapy continued every 2 days showing improved blood perfusion of the affected area and a visible advancement of the contraction phase daily with complete healing in 1.5 months.

Obese People

Wound dehiscence is the common problem which is faced by most of the surgeons in case of obese people. As we know, in case of post-operative wound management, avascularity and excessive adipose tissue lysis can lead to fluid collection which leads to gapping of sutured wound. This may also cause Dushta vrana i.e. secondary infection to the wound. Wound dehiscence in surgical field leads to most fatal outcome which can lead to cause local as well as systemic sepsis in the patient. Present case report reveals a treatment modality which involves multidisciplinary team approach such as management of wound as well as obesity by using Ayurvedic perspective. Whereas modern technique of resuturing the gapped wound exposes patient to another surgical procedure which is expensive and increases the hospital stay. The local and oral drugs formulations were proven effective in reducing excessive wound discharge as well as they stimulate the wound healing mechanism when administered in both local and systemic ways. The cost and benefit ratio was found high as there is no re-exposure to the surgical procedure and patient will get benefitted with non-invasive technique along with minimal expenses and hospital stay.

BACKGROUND: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and a gel containing an extract of Barbatimão, a native Brazilian tree, have shown promising results in both preclinical and clinical wound healing studies. PURPOSE: To describe the treatment of surgical wound dehiscence with LLLT and Barbatimão gel. CASE STUDY: A 54-year-old woman without comorbidities underwent abdominoplasty at another health facility. Three (3) weeks later she presented to the authors’ clinic after an episode of syncope, abrupt dyspnea, purulent exudate, and necrotic tissue in the surgical incision. She reported that wound redness, warmth, and swelling started 8 days postoperatively. The patient was admitted; on day 3 of that hospital stay, her condition improved and surgical debridement was performed. Follow-up care of wound dehiscence was provided in the outpatient clinic. The treatment involved daily application of Barbatimão gel and weekly application of LLLT. The wound healed after 84 days. CONCLUSION: This case report suggests that LLLT may be a beneficial adjunctive therapy, together with Barbatimão gel, for the treatment of surgical wound dehiscence.

A 75-year-old woman presented with perineal wound dehiscence and small bowel prolapse of a perineal hernia, 6 years after extra-Levator AbdominoPerineal Excision (eLAPE) procedure for rectal cancer. She underwent emergency wound refashioning and perineal hernia repair with Parmacol mesh. Her postoperative recovery was complicated by long-standing ileus, wound infection, and she was discharged to community palliative care services. In this case report, we raise awareness of postoperative eLAPE complications and describe an unfortunate case where a postoperative perineal hernia was not repaired in a patient with multiple comorbidities.

Case Presentation

Background: Cavernous hemangioma of the glans penis is a relatively rare disease in clinical practice, caused by congenital dysplasia. Case presentation: A 20-year-old male, found a snake shaped dark purple mass on the glans penis for more than 10 years. During the operation, the tumor was seen to be about 0.5 cm away from the outer urethra. The tumor was broken longitudinally, and the boundary between the tumor and the corpus cavernosum was not clear, and the tumor was bluntly separated until it was completely removed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. The patient was discharged without complications such as infection or wound dehiscence. Conclusion: With the increase of sexual demand and to avoid rupture and bleeding of glans penis cavernous hemangioma are recommend early intervention and treatment. Keywords: glans; cavernous hemangioma; treatment methods.
