“…7 The treatment of TEFs is surgical repair in most cases, but endoscopic repair with glues also can be used in the case of a small fistulous tract. 8 The patient in this case had gastric variceal hemor- This case demonstrates that repeated and prolonged insertion of the SB tube may weaken the esophageal wall, eventually resulting in a TEF. The SB tube should be kept for no longer than 48 hours, and routine chest radiograph should be taken soon after full inflation of the gastric balloon in order to confirm the position of the SB tube to prevent such complications.…”

The Sengstaken-Blakemore tube (SB tube) is used to control esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding in emergencies, and various complications have been reported following its use. Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an extremely rare complication after SB tube insertion. We herein present a case of an 80-year-old female patient who experienced TEF after repeated insertion of the SB tube to control recurrent gastric variceal hemorrhage.

“…A keloid scar is defined as excessive scar tissue extends beyond the boundaries of the original incision or wound .Its etiology is unknown, but it is associated with elevated levels of growth factor, deeply pigmented skin, an inherited tendency and certain areas of the body 2 Treatment goals include restoration of function to the area, relief of symptoms, and prevention of recurrence. Many patients seek intervention due to cosmetic concerns.…”

“…During the effort to restore barriers to fluid loss and infection, re-establish normal blood and lymphatic flow patterns, and restore the mechanical integrity of the injured system, often times flawless repair is sacrificed because of the urgency to return to function. 3 Wound healing is a complex cellular and biochemical cascade that leads to restitution of integrity and function. 4 The treatment and healing of wounds are some of the oldest subjects discussed in the medical literature.…”

Background: Wounds and their management are fundamental to the practice of surgery. In the past 15 years there have been significant advances in complex acute and chronic wound management. One of the most significant discoveries was the improvement in wounds with negative pressure–assisted wound closure. The aim and objective of the study was efficacy of topical negative pressure dressing with that of a control group using conventional moist wound dressings, in healing of wounds, were assessed with quality of wound healing.Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study 50 patients with acute and traumatic wounds, sub-acute wounds, chronic open wounds, of which 25 patients underwent topical negative pressure dressing. The remaining 25 patients underwent conventional moist wound dressings. The results were compared after second week. Wounds were assessed depending on wound size and percentage of reduction of wound size, wound bed score and increase in wound bed score, percentage of granulation tissue cover, graft take up as the percentage of ulcer surface area.Results: Our present study shows significant reduction in wound size, in the study group 19.52 cm2 as compare to control group, (6.64 cm2) found to be statistically significant (p <0.001). There is significant increase in wound bed score in the study group (mean difference was 9.60±2.16) where as in the control group there was not much increase in wound bed score (mean difference was 5.12±1.99) (p-valve 0.00001) which is statistically significant. The % of granulation tissue formation in the study group was 81.0±8.29 and in the control group was 53.60±19.23.Conclusions: Topical negative pressure dressing was better than conventional wound dressings in quality of wound healing.
