The contractures were released up to the healthy subcutaneous fat. This created wide defects in both the groins. The right side was addressed first. Doppler examination revealed a number of perforators in the upper third of medial thigh. A 12 cm x 6 cm flap was drawn on the medial thigh based on a dominant perforator about 5 cm below the inguinal ligament (Figure 2). The lateral margin of the f...

results the total number of time-loss injuries and matches missed rose from 129 and 506 respectively in 2008 - 2009 to 202 and 1110 in 2010 - 2011. following the introduction of ‘minimum medical standards’, both categories decreased (significantly for matches missed). these time-loss injuries and matches missed led to high costs of up to aud$ 37,317,029.29 (2012 - 2013 season). the same trend w...

Abstract The rates of major complications associated with totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair are reportedly low, and intra-abdominal rare. However, here we present a case series small bowel obstruction through herniation the into peritoneal defect after TEP, which is rare complication. first case, 71year old male two weeks post-TEP left repair, presented abdomen pain, vomiting...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to determine the risk factors for groin recurrence (GR) in patients with primary vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy (IFL) without lymph node metastases and/or adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. METHODS The study is a multicenter retrospective review of clinical and histopathological data of patients with lymph node-negati...

It is important to remember that a swelling in the groin may be part of a generalized disease or may arise from a structure peculiar to the region. It is therefore pertinent in patients presenting with swellings in the groin always to examine the groin in conjunction with the rest of the body and not in isolation. Careful examination of the patient's axilla, neck and abdomen will indicate wheth...

One hundred consecutive recurrences following repair of inguinal hernias have been studied; 62 were direct, 30 indirect, 7 pantaloon and one a femoral hernia. Half the indirect recurrences occurred within a year of repair and probably represented failure to detect a small indirect sac. Later indirect recurrences probably represented failure to repair the internal ring. Nine of the direct hernia...

background some grafts harvested from the groin area do not become hyperpigmented and in an individual with multiple pieces of grafts, the hyperpigmentation of the pieces may vary. this study evaluates the orientation of the inset of groin grafts according to their donor sites (superior-inferior) and its role in graft hyperpigmentation. methods patients with hand burn contracture or syndactyly ...
