rupture perineum

INTRODUCTION: Data concerning the mechanical properties of the perineum during delivery are very limited. In vivo experiments raise ethical issues. The aim of the study was to describe some of the biomechanical properties of each perineal tissue layer collected from sows in order to better understand perineal tears during childbirth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Samples of each perineal tissue layer were obtained from the skin, the vagina, the external anal sphincter (EAS), the internal anal sphincter (IAS), and the anal mucosa of fresh dead sows...

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of the modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in repairing the skin and soft tissue defect after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study. From June 2019 to July 2022, five male patients with low rectal cancer who were conformed to the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Basic Surgery of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, with ages ranging from 65 to 70 years and the sizes of the perianal skin ulcers ranging from 5 cm×4 cm to 11 cm×9 cm, and all of them underwent abdominoperineal resection...

Lethal episodes arising from interactions with cattle may be the result of a response of the animals to simple handling and herding, or from reactions to deliberate provocation or goading intended to incite aggressive behavior for public entertainment purposes. Deaths may be considered to be unprovoked and unanticipated, or provoked and predictable. Cattle cause significant numbers of deaths globally and are considered the most dangerous large animal in Britain. Behavior may be unpredictable even in apparently docile domesticated animals, and attacks may be by a single animal or a herd and result in injuries from kicking, head/butting/charging, stomping, goring, and crushing...

Penile trauma is uncommon, with an incidence of 1/175,000 cases in emergency departments worldwide. Less frequent, there may be cases of penile fracture with the penis in a flaccid state and also develop vascular lesions such as rupture of the cavernous artery, pseudoaneurysms, and arterio-cavernous fistulas. We present a case of a 32-year-old male patient with the perineum and pelvis blunt trauma after a motorbike accident with a secondary bilateral arterio-cavernous fistula treated with retrograde embolization through the arch of cavernous arteries...

Women have anatomically different perineal sizes. Different perineal sizes in primiparous women may be related to episiotomy and its consequences. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perineal size and episiotomy during delivery. 376 primiparous women referred to Fatemieh Hospital in Hamadan with single pregnancies, in the first stage of labor, and with a gestational age of 37 weeks and more, out of which 372 participated in this study. Before entering the first stage of labor, they underwent perineal measurements, such as perineal body (PB), genital hiatus (GH), and anogenital area (AGD), in a forced position...

BACKGROUND: Perineal trauma is a common problem seen after vaginal delivery, which has negative effects on different aspects of women's lives. Poor skin elasticity has been introduced as a predictor of perineal trauma, and the appearance of striae gravidarum is associated with poor skin elasticity. This review aimed to determine the association between perineal trauma and striae gravidarum through a systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched with MeSH terms ("Perineum" AND "Lacerations" OR "Rupture" AND "Striae Distensae") and their equivalents in databases PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, and Google Scholar search engine without time and language restrictions from the beginning of May until the beginning of September 2020...

Animal bite injuries are common in free-ranging cats in Taiwan, and most fatal animal bite events are presumed to be caused by dogs. However, speculation regarding animal abuse may occur when carcasses with prominent injuries are found by members of the general public. Local animal protection offices and veterinary clinicians sometimes face difficulties in convincing these individuals by identifying specific features of dog bite injuries in cat carcasses. Therefore, the present study analyzed injury patterns and distribution in 31 necropsied cats with animal bite injuries, and applied deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis for canine DNA identification in 13 cats...

BACKGROUND: The optimal acute management of patients with blunt straddle injury to the bulbar urethra remains in question. Conventionally, suprapubic diversion with delayed urethroplasty can always be considered, if necessary, but the role of early endoscopic realignment (EER) in the acute management of blunt straddle injuries to bulbar urethra is controversial. We report our clinical experience and outcomes with EER for patients with straddle injury to the bulbar urethra in a level one trauma center...

The Quasi-Experimental research with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted in January-February 2020 at AKBID Pelamonia Makassar. The sample in this study was the second semester of the Midwifery Academy Pelamonia VII Wirabuana Makassar, totaling 64 people who were divided into two groups of intervention and control...

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is a novel minimal invasive surgical technique allowing a variety of gynecological procedures. The current literature describes improved patient comfort, improved better cosmetic results, and reduced operation time. This is a first study to assess pregnancy outcome after fertility-preserving vNOTES procedures. Design/Participants/Materials/Setting/Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study including 125 patients under 43 years that underwent fertility-preserving vNOTES over a 5-year period (2014-2019)...

BACKGROUND: 46XY partial gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) is a rare subtype of disorder of sex development (DSD). 46YY PGD is a congenital disease with atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex development. The patient in this case report had male and female genitalia simultaneously. We created a flowchart of the differential diagnosis for clinicians. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old male was admitted to the hospital complaining of lower quadrant abdominal pain for 1 day...

BACKGROUND: Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic disease characterized by oral and vulvar ulcers as well as eye and skin damage and involves multiple systems. It presents as an alternating process of repeated attacks and remissions. Esophageal venous rupture and bleeding caused by BD is rarely reported at home and abroad. This paper reports a case of bleeding from oesophageal varices caused by BD, aiming to provide an additional dimension for considering the cause of bleeding from esophageal varices in the future...

INTRODUCTION: The initial management of urethral trauma remains disputed, and there are several suitable techniques, including delayed repair and suprapubic urinary diversion as well as primary endoscopic or open alignments. The treatment choice used depends on the rupture's location and length as well as the accompanying trauma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old male patient was referred to the department of emergency, with the chief complaint of inability to void experienced 1 day before being admitted, after falling from a height of approximately three meters...

Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula (CAUF) is a rare anomaly, commonly observed in the mid-shaft or more distal position of the penis. It can be seen in the perineum in anorectal anomalies or in cases of duplicated urethra. However, isolated CAUF opening into the perineum has not been reported. Herein, we present a case of congenital anterior urethral diverticulum and possible perineal urethrocutaneous fistula of an otherwise healthy neonate.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective population-based cohort study was to determine whether the mode of delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes differ between planned home VBAC (HBAC) and planned hospital VBAC. METHODS: All midwifery clients with at least one prior cesarean birth delivered between April 2000 and March 2017 (N = 4741; n = 4180 planned hospital VBAC, n = 561 planned HBAC) were included. Multivariate binomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to calculate the odds ratios adjusted for the potential covariates...

A 36-year-old African American man presented to the emergency department with 2 days of left-sided perineal pain after sexual activity. He was found to have induration in the left perineum overlying the proximal left corporal body. Clinical picture was suspicious for traumatic corporal rupture; however, advanced imaging showed a proximal segmental thrombosis of the left corpus cavernosum. The patient underwent perineal exploration with evacuation of an intracorporal penile hematoma. In spite of disrupting a fibrous membrane in the proximal corpora and drainage of the corpora, we observed repeat tumescence during the procedure because of an observed arterial high-flow state in the corpora cavernosum...

Epidermal cysts are common skin lesions. They are usually seen in the chronic sun-exposed areas of the skin. They can get complicated by inflammation, infection, rupture, or malignancy. Epidermal cyst in the perineal region is rare. We report a case of an infected ruptured perineal epidermal cyst mimicking gluteal abscess. The patient was successfully treated by complete surgical excision. Histology revealed epidermal cyst with foreign body giant cell reaction and no evidence of malignancy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of copper impregnated sanitary towels on the infection rate following vaginal delivery (VD). DESIGN: Single center double blind randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: Women aged 18 or over who had a sutured second-degree tear or episiotomy following VD. INTERVENTIONS: All women were randomized to receive either a copper-oxide impregnated sanitary towel (study group) or a non-copper sanitary towel (control group)...

BACKGROUND: Over the last decade, a trend towards high utilisation of primary maternity care was observed in high-income countries. There is limited research with contradictory results regarding frequent attendance (FA) and perinatal outcomes in midwifery care. Therefore, this study examined possible associations between FA in midwifery care and obstetric interventions and perinatal outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed in a medium-sized midwifery-led care practice in an urban region in the Netherlands...

We herein report a rare case of nontraumatic urethral rupture. The patient presented with oliguria, perineal pain and anorexia, and a 3 cm fistula was located in the perineum. Computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal abscess invading the urethra, and a retrograde urethrogram revealed the rupture of the membranous urethra. He had no history of perineum trauma or transurethral procedures. Although he underwent a suprapubic cystostomy and conservative therapy by antibiotics, he eventually died.
