Background External fixation is one of the most often utilized treatment options for complicated tibial diaphyseal fractures (TDF). The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of unilateral external fixators as primary and definitive therapy for complex TDF in a resource-limited setting. Materials and Methods A retrospective study between June 2016 and March 2021 included 110 subjects with TDF who were treated with an external fixator as definitive fixation in hospitals affiliated with Ibb University. The patient’s demographic characteristics, complications, and outcomes were gathered and analyzed. Factors associated with pin site infection were also investigated. Results The mean age was 42.1 ± 10.1 years, with 92.7% being male. Rural residents accounted for 22.7%. Smoking and diabetes mellitus were present in 27.3% and 30.0%, respectively. General complications occurred in 12.0%, with pulmonary embolism being the most common at 4.5%. Orthopedic complications included pin-track infections in 27.3% (30) and osteomyelitis in 1.8% (2). Pin site infections required medical treatment in 21 cases and external fixator changes in five. Two cases each needed several debridements for osteomyelitis and soft tissue. Full union occurred in 79.1% (87) over 23.1 ± 3.2 weeks and final alignment in 97.3% (107) over 34.8 ± 4.8 weeks. Malunions occurred in 1.8% (2), and one case had hypertrophic nonunion. Factors like rural residency, smoking, diabetes, open fractures, worst fracture grade (Gustilo and Anderson type C), and general complications occurrence significantly correlated with pin site infection (all p-values < 0.05). Conclusion A unilateral external fixator as a primary and definitive treatment is a viable, simple, and effective option for TDF with a high success rate even in a resource-limited setting. In this study, residents in rural areas, smoking, diabetes, open fracture, worst fracture grade, and general complication occurrence were associated with pin site infection occurrence.

Background This article aims to share our experiences with microsurgical finger replantation in a resource-limited setting. Methods This multi-institutional, retrospective study included 21 cases of finger amputation that underwent microsurgical replantation, within 7 years period. Patient demographics, preoperative assessments, surgical approaches, and outcomes were documented and analyzed. A univariate analysis was performed to obtain factors associated with digit reimplantation failure. Results Out of 21 cases included, 8 (38.1%) had complete amputations and 13 (61.9%) had incomplete amputations. Crush injuries accounted for the majority (71.4%). On average, 2.2 ± 1.1 digits were affected, with the ring finger being the most commonly injured (71.4%). The mean operative time was 121.5 ± 26.8 minutes. The success rate of digit replantation was 76.2%. During a mean follow-up of 14.3 ± 3.7 months, 85.7% of successfully replanted digits considered their replantation results satisfactory. The majority of replanted digits demonstrated active and effective holding and grasping abilities without pain or instability (76.2%). Replantation failure was associated with a higher number of affected digits (p < 0.001), longer operative time (p = 0.004), complete avulsion (p = 0.003), current smoking (p = 0.025), diabetes (p = 0.006), hypertension (p = 0.047), procedure difficulty score (p= 0.004), and occurrence of complications (p < 0.001). Conclusion Microsurgical finger replantation can yield favorable outcomes and acceptable survival rates, even within resource-limited settings. However, this procedure requires specialized equipment and personnel that may not be available at all institutions. Influential factors in digit replantation failure, include an increased number of damaged digits, extended operative duration, complete avulsion, current smoking, diabetes, hypertension, procedure difficulty score, and postoperative complications occurrence.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Penile Girth Enhancement (PGE) using Amniotic Membrane (AM) as a graft in a rabbit model. Additionally, stereological studies were used to obtain quantitative histological data regarding the structure of the penis. Methods: In this study, 20 adult male rabbits of similar age and weight were allocated to two sham and surgery+AM groups. Both groups underwent surgery by longitudinal Ishape midline incision of the tunica albuginea on the dorsal surface of the penis. The surgery +AM group underwent PGE by AM graft. The penile length and mid circumference were measured using a Vernier caliper before and two months after the surgery. Stereological studies were used to obtain quantitative histological data regarding the structure of the penis. Results: The mean total volume and diameter of the penis increased in the surgery +AM group (p<0.03 and p<0.04, respectively). The stereological evaluation showed a significant increase in the mean volumes of the tunica albuginea and corpora cavernosa in the surgery +AM group compared to the sham group (p<0.01, p< 0.03). Additionally, the mean volume density of the collagen bundles, muscle fibers, and cavernous sinuses and the total number of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells increased in the surgery +AM group compared to the sham group (p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.03, p<0.01, and p<0.05, respectively). No infections, bleedings, or other complications were seen. Conclusions: AM is a method that has appeared promising for material use in penile enhancement. Thus, it may be used for PGE in the future.

Background Limited evidence is available regarding the management of small bowel obstruction in the virgin abdomen (SBO-VA), with most studies excluding this entity. This study aims to assess the available data on the treatment outcomes and predictors of surgical intervention in SBO-VA. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted between 2015 and 2021, including all diagnosed and managed cases of SBO-VA at Al-Nasar Hospital. Patients were divided according to the treatment approach into surgical or conservative groups. Preoperative laboratory and radiologic data were gathered and compared between groups. Results During the study period, 67 cases, primarily males (58.2%), with an average age of 52.2±14.4 years were assessed. Common comorbidities included diabetes (20.9%) and hypertension (16.4%). Key symptoms were rebound tenderness (82.1%) and abdominal tenderness (70.1%). The predominant etiology was adhesions (23.9%). About 46.2% received conservative treatment, 53.8% underwent urgent surgery. Conservative treatment failed in 9.4% of cases, and complications arose in 23.9%, with most being fever (17.9%). Factors necessitating surgical management included older age (58.8 ±11.7 vs 44.9 ±13.8 years, p<0.001), previous hospital admission (p<0.001), presence of abdominal tenderness (p=0.030), longer abdominal pain duration (4.0 ±0.9 vs 2.1 ±0.6 days, p<0.001), higher C- reactive protein (p= 0.033), higher white blood cell (p= 0.006), longer time to hospital presentation (75.3 ±17.2 vs 39.0 ±22.8 days, p= <0.001), small bowel thickness ≥3 cm (p=0.009), and reduced bowel enhancement (p <0.001) on computed tomography imaging. In surgical group, the need for ICU admission was higher and hospital stays were shorter than in conservative group and were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion The main etiology of SBO-VA in our study was adhesions. Older age, previous hospital admission, longer abdominal pain duration, abdominal tenderness, increased inflammatory markers, and alarm signs on CT scans are the main factors for determining the need for urgent surgical exploration in patients with SBO-VA. To achieve prompt identification and intervention, it is crucial to maintain a high level of vigilance and awareness, even in individuals with no prior surgical history.

Background: Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a destructive necrotizing infection with a generally poor prognosis. This study aims to share our experience in handling FG patients in a resource-limited setting and identify prognostic factors for FG mortality. Methods: A retrospective study of thirty-six patients diagnosed with FG and treated at our teaching hospital between Jun 2010 to Oct 2022 was conducted. Laboratory and nonlaboratory data and patients' outcomes were gathered. A univariate analysis was computed for identifying prognostic factors for FG mortality. Result: The main age was 68.30 ± 5.61years and most (69.4%) were older than 65 years. The overall survival was 63.9% and the mortality rate was 36.1%. Univariate analysis showed that advanced age (p = 0.02), delayed in hospital presentation (p = 0.024), involvement of larger area (p = 0.001), a history of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.006), end-stage renal disease (p = 0.018), heart failure (p = 0.005), cerebrovascular accident (p = 0.003), liver cirrhosis (p = 0.001), presence of multiple comorbidities (p = 0.001), septic conditions at admission (p = 0.048), need for mechanical ventilation (p = 0.001), hypoalbuminemia (p < 0.001), and elevated blood urea nitrogen (p = 0.002) were found to be risk factors for mortality in patients with FG. Conclusions: Fournier’s gangrene is a fulminant condition with a high mortality rate, especially in resource-limited settings. In this study, the mortality rate was 36.1%. Advanced age, delayed in hospital presentation, involvement of larger area, a history of diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, liver cirrhosis, presence of multiple comorbidities, septic conditions at admission, need for mechanical ventilation, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated blood urea nitrogen were associated with FG mortality.

Purpose: This study aims to build a 3D reconstruction computed simulation model and to establish a regression equation for detecting the testis's temperature by its location after first staged open orchidopexy in children with abdominal undescended testis (UDT) and short spermatic cords. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 31 children with abdominal UDT and short spermatic cords who underwent first staged orchiopexy between 2017 and 2020. Using ultrasonography to obtain the testis's location distance from the skin surface (X1), external iliac vessel (X2), and internal inguinal ring (X3), we input the data into a 3D reconstruction computed simulation along with COMSOL to calculate the testicular temperature. We also used multivariate regression to establish the testicular temperature regression equation from the gathered data. Result: The mean age of the participants was 4.47 ± 1.21 years. The mean size of the operated testis was 0.39 ± 0.13 cc. The mean distance of the testis from X1, X2, and X3 was 3.27 ± 1.25 mm, 21.06 ± 6.42 mm, and 27.19 ± 10.09 mm, respectively. The testicular temperature regression equation derived from testis location was calculated by the formula: 34.57 + 0.0236 X12 - 0.0105 X2 - 0.0018 X3. The concordance for testis temperature calculated via the computational method and regression equation was 83%. Conclusions: The current study provided a reference value for the testicular temperature of children with abdominal UDT and short spermatic cords after the first stage of orchiopexy. A testicular temperature regression equation can be established based on the testis location, which will provide relevant information for the testicular development assessment, disease diagnosis, and follow-up, and possibly determination of the time of the second stage of orchiopexy.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive necrotizing infection that affects the perineal and abdominal regions and is known for its high mortality rate. This study aims to present the practical experience of managing FG patients and identify factors that may affect their clinical outcomes. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted from April 2009 to December 2020 at General Military Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen including 26 patients who were diagnosed with FG and treated on. Data on demographic characteristics, time to admission, surgical intervention, and treatment outcomes were collected. Univariate analysis was performed to determine factors that affect patient outcomes. Result: The mean age of the patients was 65.77 ± 5.04 years, and 65.4% of them were over the age of 65. Most patients (57.7%) presented after five days of experiencing symptoms, and 65.4% were in septic conditions. Of the patients, 17 (65.4%) survived, and the total mortality rate was 34.6%. Univariate analysis showed that delayed presentation (p = 0.001), a history of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.001), end-stage renal disease (p < 0.001), heart failure (p < 0.001), cerebrovascular accident (p = 0.032), liver cirrhosis (p < 001), presence of multiple comorbidities (p < 001), involvement of lager area (p < 001), septic conditions (p = 0.009), advanced age (p = 0.018), and intensive care unit admission (p = 0.002) were found to be risk factors for mortality in patients with FG. Conclusions: FG is a potentially life-threatening medical condition, even with aggressive and specialized treatment. Our study revealed a mortality rate of 34.6%. Factors such as older age, the presence of multiple comorbidities, septic conditions, the abdominal spread of the disease, intensive care unit admission, and delayed presentation contribute to higher mortality rates.

Introduction Iatrogenic concomitant ureteral and colonic injury in emergency cesarean section (C-section) is an exceedingly rare, yet, catastrophic complication and has not been reported to our knowledge. Case Report A 30-year-old woman presented with decreased urination for 2 days after a C-section. Ultrasonography showed severe left hydronephrosis and moderate abdominal free fluid. A ureteroscopy revealed a total occlusion of the left ureter, and subsequently, a ureteroneocystostomy was performed. Two days later, the patient was complicated with abdominal distension that necessitated re-exploration. The exploration revealed colonic injury (rectosigmoid), peritonitis, endometritis, and ureteral anastomosis disruption. A colostomy, repair of colonic injury, hysterectomy, and ureterocutaneous diversion were performed. The patient’s hospital stay was complicated, with stomal retraction requiring operative revision and wound dehiscence, which was treated conservatively. After 6 months, the colostomy was closed, and the ureter was anastomosed via the Boari-flap procedure. Conclusion Injuries to the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts are serious complications of a cesarean section; concurrent involvement is exceedingly rare; however, delayed recognition and intervention can worsen the prognosis.

Hydatid cyst (HC) disease is a parasitic infection produced by cysts containing the Echinococcus granulosus larval phase. Patients with HC disease are typically asymptomatic until incidentally diagnosed or when complications occur. A rare presentation of liver HC is spontaneous cutaneous fistualisation. We report a 63-year-old female patient admitted in a tertiary care hospital in Ibb, Yemen, in 2019 with an infected cutaneous fistula induced by a ruptured HC. The patient underwent laparotomy and partial cystectomy with excision of the fistula tract. Upon 6-month follow-up, there was no HC recurrence. This report highlights the need for physicians to consider this diagnosis when faced with an unusual cutaneous fistula near organs commonly involved in HC, especially in areas where the prevalence of this disease is high.Keywords: Complications; Cutaneous Fistula; Echinococcosis; Liver; Surgery; Case Report; Yemen.
