SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO DIFFICULT PROBLEMS

Dr. Sridharan Murugesan

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION : Surgeons are often facing difficult problems in patient management. Problems can be related to the age, sex, body weight, anaesthetic fitness, surgical fitness etc,. When we think of the problem, it is often manageable with simple solutions. Here we are discussing about the problems of three different individuals which were treated accordingly. MATERIALS AND METHODS :Three patients were treated. First two cases are babies with meningomyelocoele who underwent surgery for closure of the defect by neurosurgeons. The third patient is a 76 year old diabetic male who had to undergo below knee amputation following cellulitis with raw area over the knee joint anteriorly. RESULTS :Cover was possible in all the patients with flap from the adjoining areas. Flap cover was durable, healthy and resulted in good wound healing except in one patient, where the flaps necrosed resulting in ulceration which required further management.
