Necrotising fasciitis is a life-threatening condition characterised by inflammation, affecting the soft tissues, which spreads within fascial plane. Skin changes can be delayed and often go unnoticed. The arises from bacterial infection, commonly being of polymicrobial aetiology. We describe an uncommon case necrotising caused Finegoldia magna , anaerobic coccus, in 40-year-old patient with diabetes. F. Gram-positive was previously known as Peptostreptococcus magnus . bacteria found normal...

In July 2022, NICE updated the guidelines on management of melanoma by lowering number follow-up appointments and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) but increasing scans. This study aims to evaluate implications executing new in terms cost-effectiveness personnel.All patients newly diagnosed with 2019 at a regional skin cancer specialist center were reviewed. Data analyzed for their journey an idealized pathway modeled over 5-year period when adhering both previous guidelines. Differences...
Abstract Adequate local anaesthetic, in harvesting a split thickness skin graft (SSG), involves multiple passes of needle across the length and width marked donor site. We describe technique using hyaluronidase to uniformly anaesthetise an SSG site with one injection, pass needle. Mix 10mls 1% Lidocaine solution Adrenaline 1:200,000 1 vial Hyaluronidase Unit/ml solution. The mixture is buffered ml NaHCO3 neutralise acidity minimise pain.Mark out siteUsing 27G long (sterican), enter...
Background Pilonidal sinus disease is a common of the natal cleft with an incidence 25/100,000 people in UK. Males are most commonly affected, compared to females. It was reported be caused from ingrowing hair, leading formation abscess and sinuses underneath skin. These discharge their contents skin surface by aid pits. Surgery treatment choice for chronic pilonidal disease; however, literature has revealed high rates postsurgical complications. As consequence, follow-up appointments needed...
Abstract Introduction Venous insufficiency remains one of the commonest causes for flap failure. Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermography measures emissions from dissipated heat and converts temperature values into an image. This has various advantages to current use indocyanine green (ICG) angiography assess perfusion. Case A man in his mid-30s was involved a road traffic accident sustained extensive injuries right hand. These included multiple metacarpal fractures, degloving proximal...
