Review 39 patients with chronic post-traumatic subdural haematoma, who were treated at the 103 Hospital between January 2000 and July 2003. CT scan is a good method of diagnosis and select surgery. The methods of surgery concluded: Burr-hole cranniostomy for haematoma evacuation and irrigation and closed-system drainge are safe and effective method for treatment. Results: 92.3% patients with good outcome, recurrence occurred in 2 cases, airway injection in 2 cases, there wasn't death.

Acute subdural hematoma (ASH) is a first cause of mortality of cranio cerebral traumatism. The high rate of mortality 50 to 90% after surgery, confirms to the published data of foreign authours, there remains a difficulty in establishing the prognosis of the disease. This study included 148 cases of ASH after surgery for finding the following factors: mechanism of trauma, age, sex, GOS, image in CT scanner, timing trauma of surgery influencing on the final results. Good results: 37.16%; Bad results: 62.84%.

6 patients with chronic subdural hematoma were operated under local anesthesia and were premedicated with analgia lidocain 2% at An Giang hospital from November 2003 to April 2004. Among them 5 patients were complication of head trauma and one of unknown etiology. 3 patients were over 70 years old (the highest was 70 and the smallest was 32); 2 patients were in a coma with GCS = 8 points, without patient was in a coma with GCS < 8 points; 1 patient had very high risk with ASA (IV) and 2 patients had very high risk with ASA (III). The surgical procedure lasted from 30 to 45 minutes for hematoma removal. All patients had good outcome after 24 hours. The duration of hospitalization were from 7 to 15 days. All of them were discharged well

Epidural hematomas are usually traumatic in origin. Non-traumatic spontaneous epidural hematoma is rare and its incidence is not known. It can occur in the presence of coagulopathy and hypotension. We report a case of spontaneous intracranial epidural hematoma following the aortic valve replacement, possibly arising from excessive anticoagulation and hypotension during ventricular fibrillation.

surgery. The most common site for bone graft harvest is the anterior iliac crest. There is usually considerable cancellous bone graft available and it can be obtained with minimal morbidity. However, complications noted in iliac crest grafts include prolonged postoperative pain, hematoma and fracture, gluteal muscle weakness. Occasionally, when large amounts of bone graft are needed and previous harvest procedure had used, iliac bone harvest may be not adequate. Like the iliac crest, the greater trochanter has abundant cancellous bone and is readily accessible with acceptable morbidity. The purpose of this study was to assess the availability of cancellous bone graft from the greater trochanter, compare the quantity with that available from the anterior iliac crest, investigate anatomical hazards, and make recommendations for consistent harvest.]]>

PURPOSE: Stitching out in facial simple laceration on children, we use No.11 blade. But the procedure is technically demanding to take care of the uncooperative pediatric patient. When we suture a laceration on the pediatric patients, we apply this method using ribbon shaped knot. On stitching out, We pull on the edge of a stitching fiber easily without injury about normal tissue. METHODS: From May 2006 to December 2007 we studied 54 pediatric patients under six years of age, who had facial lacerations in Plastic Surgery department Emergency room. Among them 35 were male, 19 were female and the average age was 3.9. RESULTS: For following up dressing, ribbon shaped knots were not loosened. After stitching out in facial laceration on children, Major complications of infection, hematoma, dehiscence were not found. CONCLUSION: The advantage of this operation method using ribbon shaped knot when stitching out the fiber on the uncooperative pediatric patients, is easy to perform and to reduce the stitching time, without sedation.

A 57-year-old male patient was admitted to our center because of a cystic mass on the lower portion of the right major fissure that was found incidentally by chest X-ray. He did not have a history of trauma or anticoagulant use. The lesion was removed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathological examination revealed an organizing pulmonary hematoma without any complications, and a follow-up chest X-ray after 1 year showed no recurrence.
