Plastic surgery continues to maintain a prominent presence in the evolution of male genital reconstruction. In this case report, we are presenting a case of post-electric burn with a total loss of penis. Sustaining other major injuries following an electric burn with loss of right upper limb and extensive tissue damage to left upper limb, abdomen and both thighs, this young male patient was initially managed from life-threatening problems. With many options closed following a major electric burn and its acute management, penile and urethral reconstruction was a unique and a great challenge in this patient. Heeding to the patient's wish of male pattern micturition, we had performed a successful reconstruction of urethra and entire phallus with groin flap.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is most commonly seen in infancy. The symptoms abate without treatment in 60% of infants by the age of 6 months while approximately 90% of infants have complete resolution of symptoms by the age of 8–10 months. Infants with severe or life-threatening complications of pathological GERD that is unresponsive to medical therapy can be considered for surgical therapy despite their comorbid illnesses and increased risk for morbidity and mortality. The main type of anti-reflux surgery is fundoplication particularly laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Here, we describe a case series of four infants with life-threatening aspiration pneumonia who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication with gastrostomy button insertion in a single center performed by a single surgeon for complications arising from severe GERD, not responding to medical therapy. Out of four infants, three had complete resolution of symptoms and are thriving well highlighting the vital role played by this novel surgery in treating such infants after failed medical management. However, one infant died of severe morbidity in the post-operative period.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of breast shear wave elastography (SWE) and p63 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the diagnosis of indeterminate breast lesions. Methods: Based on detailed clinical examination and a combination of X-ray mammography/B-mode ultrasound with SWE, a total of 40 patients with breast lumps (BI-RADS 4) were included. Patients with previous diagnosis of breast cancer and a previous history of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy in the same breast as the present lesion were excluded. Core needle biopsy of the breast lesion was performed, and p63 IHC staining was performed. A final histopathological report of the definitive procedure was considered as the gold standard. The sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), and accuracy were calculated for each modality. Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 50.85 ± 13.53 years. Of the 40 patients recruited, 23 were clinically malignant and 17 were benign. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of SWE were 91.3%, 94.1%, 95.5%, 88.9%, and 92.5% and those of p63 IHC were 95.7%, 100%, 100%, 94.4%, and 97.5%, respectively. Overall, the parametric values were higher for p63 IHC as compared to clinical examination and elastography. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for p63 IHC (.978) was higher than those for SWE (.927) and clinical examination (.898). Conclusion: SWE and p63 IHC are highly reliable novel modalities that demonstrate enhanced diagnostic accuracy of indeterminate breast lesions aiding in the early initiation of appropriate treatment and reducing the number of women subjected to biopsy or short-term follow-up for benign-appearing solid breast lesions.
