摘要:

&NA;Appendicitis is reputed to be rare or unknown in African communities, but this is not true of the Igbos of Nigeria, West Africa. This paper reports the histologic features of appendices from eight Igbo patients who underwent interval appendectomy two to six months after conservative treatment for appendiceal masses that resolved satisfactorily. Resolution was complete histologically in the two children in the series. In five adult patients, one or more sections of the appendix contained residual inflammation or luminal obliteration. In the remaining adult patient, schistosomiasis coexisted with both inflammation and obliteration.

摘要:

&NA;The ischiorectal fossae of one fresh and 47 preserved cadaver specimens were disected to elucidate its fascial boundaries, neurovascular relationships, spatial orientation, and possible functions. Based upon measurements of approximately half of the dissected specimens, a three‐dimensional model of the ischiorectal fossa was developed to clarify visually its fascial relationships and orientation within the perineum. Seven fetal specimens were also dissected for comparative purposes.A distinct fascial septum, the lamina terminalis, connecting the medial and lateral walls of the fossa to form its anterior boundary, was consistently found as a dense fibrous component attaching inferiorly to the posterior aspect of the urogenital diaphragm.The functional significance of the ischiorectal fossa in supporting the urogenital diaphragm, in anal activities, and in sparing the compression of the neurovascular supply to the perineum is discussed.

摘要:

&NA;A case of anal‐sphincter injury with total fecal incontinence is presented. The use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) as a “medical colostomy” is stressed. After four weeks of support by TPN, the perineal wound had healed and successful sphincteroplasty was performed. TPN was used in the postoperative period to delay bowel movements for one week. The general concept of the use of TPN in sphincter injury is presented, giving the surgeon an option in management of these injuries without resorting to a preliminary colostomy.
