Avulsion of the Larynx and Pharnyx as the Result of a Water Ski Rope Injury

A Unique Waterskiing Injury Leading to a Necrotizing Foot Infection in an Insulin-Dependent Diabetic

“…2 The types of cases reported included injuries related to vaginal/rectal douches or tears, trauma related to the ski rope or the boat propeller, and scattered tendon or muscle injuries. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The most common waterskiing injuries reported in 517 patients reporting to emergency rooms nationwide were strains or sprains (36.3% of all cases). 17 This case demonstrates many teaching points.…”

Transtracheal microsurgical closure of tracheoesophageal fistulas

“…It is wise, therefore, to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks until inflammatory processes have ceased and consolidation of tissue has O C C U I T~~.~~-~~ Of course, fistulas caused by recent traumatic injuries must be operated upon at once. 15 If the diagnosis of a tracheoesophageal fistula is sure, the following immediate measures are necessary: (I ) tracheostomy, if not already performed, (2) insertion of a cuffed tube so that the inflated cuff plugs the trachea below the fistula, and (3) a gastrostomy. However, even feeding by a gastrostomy tube does not prevent a reflux of gastric contents to the esophagus and fistula and the danger of aspiration.…”
