OBJECTIVE: The authors share their experience on four different cases of penile paraffinoma surgically treated at the Bicol Medical Center from January 2011 - September 2014.

METHODOLOGY: Four patients with subcutaneous injection of foreign body (Vaseline, petroleum jelly or Baby oil) into their penises were treated. The authors applied two kinds of technique: anterolateral thigh pedicle flap and scrotal advancement flap, depending on the skin defect after excision of the paraffinoma. Outcomes measured were immediate post-operative complications (flap necrosis, hematoma, infection) and 3 months post-operative follow-up (contracture, pain on erection, improvement in sexual function and acceptable cosmetic appearance).

RESULTS: All patients had a relatively uneventful post-operative course. There were no instances of flap necrosis, bleeding, hematoma or dysuria. Morbidity was minimal and no secondary surgical intervention was done. All had acceptable cosmetic appearance based on the satisfaction of both the patients and the surgeons. All reported decrease in pain during erection, except for one, who underwent scrotal advancement flap, complaining of vague penoscrotal pain when his penis was erect.

CONCLUSION: Penile paraffinoma remains a reconstructive surgical challenge requiring application of varying techniques depending on the pre-operative foreign body involvement.

Objectives: To provide a guide to estimate the location of coins within the esophagus based on the pre-operative radiographic image among pediatric patients seen at the East Avenue Medical Center Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) between January 2018 and December 2020. : Methods Design: Retrospective Case Series Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital Participants: The records of 99 pediatric patients aged 6 months to 13 years who were diagnosed with esophageal foreign body (coin) impaction and underwent rigid esophagoscopy from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A predictive model was derived from the data using linear regression analysis. The model shows that we can predict the intraoperative location of coin within the esophagus if provided with the patient’s age and vertebral level of the coin on chest radiograph. Prediction values were reported for patients in three age categories (less than 3 years old, 3 to 7 years old, 8 to 13 years old), at 10 radiographic locations (C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, T1, T2, T3, T7, T8), except for these (C1, C3, T4-T6) because of lack of data. For example, the table predicts that a coin will be located 13 cm (or between 11.4cm to 14.8cm) from the central maxillary incisors (CMI) intraoperatively if the coin was located at level C6 vertebrae on chest radiograph, for patients less than 3 years old. Conclusion This study provides a novel guide that may serve as a practical tool for ENT surgeons to estimate the intraoperative location of coin foreign bodies in the esophagus of pediatric patients based on preoperative radiographic imaging.
