ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis and management of penile fracture.

METHODSFrom June 1993 to May 2017, 46 cases of penile fracture were treated in our hospital, averaging 33.5 (25－42) years of age and 3.45 (1－10) hours in duration, of which 41 occurred during sexual intercourse, 4 during masturbation and 1 during prone sleeping, 4 with hematuria, but none with dysuria or urethral bleeding. Hematoma was confined to the penis. Emergency surgical repair was performed for all the patients, 45 under spinal anesthesia and 1 under local anesthesia, 16 by coronal proximal circular incision and the other 30 by local longitudinal incision according to the rupture location on ultrasonogram. The tunica albuginea ruptures averaged 1.31 (0.5－2.5) cm in length, which were sutured in the "8" pattern for 6 cases and with the 3－0 absorbable thread for 18 cases. The skin graft or negative pressure drainage tube was routinely placed, catheters indwelt, and gauze used for early pressure dressing. In the recent few years, elastic bandages were employed for 3－5 days of pressure dressing and antibiotics administered to prevent infection. The stitches and catheter were removed at 7 days after surgery.

RESULTSShort-term postoperative foreskin edema occurred in 14 of the 16 cases of circular degloving incision, but no postoperative complications were observed in any of the cases of local incision. Twenty-eight of the patients completed a long-term follow-up of 49.4 (10－125) months, which revealed good erectile function, painless erection, and satisfactory sexual intercourse.

CONCLUSIONSFor most penile fractures, local longitudinal incision is sufficient for successful repair of the tunica albuginea, with mild injury, no influence on the blood supply or lymph reflux, and a low rate complications. It therefore is obviously advantageous over circular degloving incision except when the cavernous body of urethra is to be explored, which necessitates circular degloving incision below the coronal groove.

The association of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) and arachnoid cyst (AC) is uncommon. We reported 2 juvenile athletes with CSDH associated with AC which occurred in their daily sports activities and reviewed the literature. Both of them were treated surgically, with satisfactory outcome. AC is a common predisposing factor in young patients with CSDH. The complication of intracranial bleeding is an indication for surgical management. Though there are still controversies in the treatment of asymptomatic AC, it is the consensus that the patients with AC should avoid violent sports so as to reduce the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage resulted from head injuries.

Most patients with strabismus are in good health. However, the incidence of strabismus is high in patients with central nervous system dysfunction and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Authors report one case of intracerebral hematoma due to bleeding from an intracranial arteriovenous malformation after a surgical correction of strabismus under general endotracheal anesthesia. The initial operation and postoperative course of this case were uneventful except for several episodes of nausea and vomiting, continuing hours after the operation. Twenty-four hours after the operation, the patient showed a stuporous mental state and right-sided hemiplegia. A brain C-T scan and carotid angiography revealed an intracerebral hematoma with small-sized vascular abnormalities in the frontoparietal region on the left side. Following an emergency evacuation of the hematoma and removal of the malformed vessels, the patient showed progressive improvement.

After successful renal artery angioplasty and stent placement, a patient in a fully anticoagulated state developed hypotension and flank pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a large renal subcapsular haematoma which was successfully managed conservatively without embolotherapy and surgical intervention. To prevent hemorrhage after renal artery stenting, it is necessary to underscore the importance of reducing the contrast volume and pressure of angiography, controlling systemic blood pressure, and monitoring guide wire position at all times.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the perioperative management of hemophiliacs A with orthopaedic complications.

METHODSTo regulate the injection of factor VIII concentrate in peroperative period by testing the level of factor VIII:C in 27 cases. The lever of factor VIII:C was improved to 30% - 50% at the day before the operation. To the severe patients, it was maintained at 58.5% - 89.3% during the operation and at 47.0% - 78.4% in postoperation. While to the gentle, it was maintained at 38.5% - 52.5% during the operation and at 29.2% - 52.3% in postoperation. The individualized surgical procedures were carried out, such as arthrocentesis, open knee synovectomy or arthroscopic synovectomy, evacuation or curettage of haematoma, debridements, internal fixation.

RESULTSAll patients were cured in 14 - 105 days by regulating the injection of factor VIII during the peroperative period. The usage of factor VIII was 1 200 - 70 250 IU.

CONCLUSIONWhile the hemophiliacs have orthopaedic complications, it is necessary to promise the factor VIII:C being maintained at the lever of hemostasis during the peroperative period. The hemophiliacs are endurable to the operation.

Objective: To investigate the effect of modified Bianchi (single incision in the midline of the scrotum) orchiopexy (MBO) versus that of traditional surgery in the treatment of median or low cryptorchidism. METHODS: Eighty-two children with median or low cryptorchidism were treated from February 2013 to February 2014, 46 (53 testes) by MBO and the other 36 by the traditional method of inguinal incision (control, 40 testes). Comparisons were made in the operation time and postoperative complications between the two surgical strategies. RESULTS: The mean operation time was significantly shorter in the MBO group than in the control (［25±6］ vs ［35±4］ min, P<0.05). No testicular atrophy, hernias or hydrocele was found in either group during the 1－2 years of follow-up. Testis retraction was observed in 3 cases in the MBO group as compared with 2 in the control (P>0.05). The incision scar was obvious in all the controls, with 1 case of postoperative inguinal hematoma, but almost invisible in all the MBO cases. CONCLUSIONS Modified Bianchi orchiopexy is superior to traditional surgery in the treatment of median or low cryptorchidism for its advantages of short operation time, few complications, and satisfactory appearance of the healed incision.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the causes and the prophylactic measures for the complications following correction of mandibular angle prominence.

METHODSFrom 1996 to 2001, a total of 203 patients with mandibular angle prominence underwent mandibular angle osteotomy.

RESULTSOf them, 9 patients had postoperative complications, which included bleeding, hematoma, infection, mental nerve injury, labia scar, asymmetry, and steep mandibular angle.

CONCLUSIONThe correction of mandibular angle prominence should be designed and performed precisely. Care must be taken to avoid severe complications like condyle fracture.

Esophageal tubular duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. We experienced a patient with esophageal tubular duplication who presented with a swallowing difficulty which was aggravated after a gastrofiberscopic examination. Preoperative diagnosis was intramural hematoma of the esophagus due to trauma caused by endoscopy. Surgical specimen revealed that hematoma was located within a duplicated lumen of the esophagus. The radiologic and endoscopic findings are discussed in correlation with its pathology.
