2-octyl-cyanoacrylate glue for fixation of STSG in genitourinary tissue defects due to Fournier gangrene: a preliminary trial.
In these reported cases, we observed the outcomes of skin take and wound healing using 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate glue, which was used as tissue glue in the reconstruction of complex genital skin loss due to fournier gangrene. ⋯ Use of 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate glue (Glueseal) for STSG fixation in complex genital skin defects after Fournier gangrene may be an acceptable alternative to conventional surgical closure with a good cosmetic outcome. Further studies are needed to confirm our initial success with this approach.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of open and laparoscopic appendectomy in uncomplicated appendicitis: a prospective randomized clinical trial.
In the treatment of a subset of patients with uncomplicated appendicitis, no surgical method has been clearly established as superior. ⋯ The laparoscopic approach to appendectomy in patients with uncomplicated appendicitis does not offer a significant advantage over the open approach in terms of length of hospital stay, postoperative pain score, or quality of life, which are considered the major advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

Case ReportsLarynx, hypopharynx and mandible injury due to external penetrating neck injury.
Esophageal and laryngeal injuries due to ballistic injuries are seldom encountered. Ballistic external neck traumas generally result in death. ⋯ Vascular injuries, esophagus-hypopharynx perforations, laryngotracheal injuries, bony fractures, and segmentations may be encountered in external neck traumas. Here we report a 27-year-old male patient who was referred to our emergency department and presented with hyoid bone fracture, multiple mandibular fractures, and hypopharynx perforation due to a ballistic external neck injury.

The role of bedside ultrasonography for occult scaphoid fractures in the emergency department.
Our aim is to study the accuracy of emergency medicine (EM) physician-performed, bedside ultrasonography (BUS) in patients with clinical suspicion of scaphoid fracture and normal radiographs. ⋯ The diagnosis of scaphoid fractures is another BUS application in the ED. EM physicians should consider diagnosis of scaphoid fractures using BUS in the emergency department.
