RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive bone or extraosseous tumour with an unfavourable prognosis when bone marrow metastases are present at diagnosis. The gold standard diagnosis for bone marrow (BM) involvement is cytological and pathological analysis through bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (BMAB). Several recent studies suggest that these invasive and painful procedures could be replaced by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)FDG-PET/CT), as this nuclear imaging technique is highly sensitive at detecting bone and extraosseous metastases of ES. METHODS: In order to study the precision of (18)FDG-PET/CT in the evaluation of bone marrow metastases at diagnosis, we compared the imaging results with cytological/histological analyses performed on BM samples. We retrospectively studied 180 patients with ES recorded at the Léon Bérard Centre over the past 10 years, who were evaluated by (18)FDG-PET/CT and BMAB at diagnosis. RESULTS: Of the 180 patients, 13 displayed marrow metastases by cytological/histological examination, and only one of these did not have (18)FDG-PET/CT signs of bone marrow involvement, whereas the 167 remaining patients without marrow metastasis all had a negative (18)FDG-PET/CT, except for one. Hence, the sensitivity and specificity of (18)FDG-PET/CT in these patients was 92.3% and 99.4%, respectively. The overall survival at five years of all patients was 67.4% but decrease to 38.5% in the group with bone marrow metastases. CONCLUSION: Given the results presented herein the bone sarcoma group of the French Sarcoma Group suggests that invasive BMAB no longer be systematically performed for the staging at the diagnosis of ES.

OBJECTIVE: In children, intermittent catheterization by appendicovesicostomy according to Mitrofanoff is an interesting alternative to the urethral approach. Objective of the study was to evaluate the rate of appendicovesicostomy's specific complications. METHOD: From 1997 to 2017, data on children treated and followed for an appendicovesicostomy in an academic institution were collected retrospectively. Rates of surgical complications specifically encountered on appendicovesicostomy, time of onset, frequency, and necessity of surgical reinterventions have been reported. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were operated on and followed for a median of 6.2 years [0.3-24]. Fifty percent had a complication, occurring after a median of 8 months [2-90], and 38% required at least one surgical revision. If complication occurred, adjustment of medical treatment and intermittent catheterization was effective in 12% of patients, endoscopic or over-fascial surgery was necessary in 17% of cases, and under-fascial revision in 21% of cases. Median time to complication was 4 months [1-90] after creation or revision of appendicovesicostomy. Thirty-height percent of difficult channel catheterization were reported, of which 46% were over or under-fascial stenosis. Inaugural urinary incontinence was 18%, and only 9% if using the appendix. At the end, 97% of appendicovesicostomy were continent. CONCLUSIONS: Appendicovesicostomy is a high risk of complications and postoperative revisions surgery, in order to have a functional continent channel. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

UNLABELLED: Lumbar hernia is an unusual complication of the latissimus dorsi flap. Traditionally, it has always been repaired using open-surgery techniques. We present the first description of laparoscopic surgery to treat a non-complicated superior lumbar hernia resulting from the creation of an enlarged latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap for breast reconstruction following left modified radical mastectomy. The laparoscopic approach substantially reduced the risks associated with open surgery, shortened length of hospital stay and time to recovery and obtained better cosmetic results. Laparoscopic surgery may be considered as a feasible therapeutic option for non-complicated superior lumbar hernias secondary to a latissimus dorsi muscle flap. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, V.

OBJECTIVE: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been shown to have structural and biological properties that promote tissue healing. This prospective study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of using autologous PRF membrane for urethroplasty coverage in distal hypospadias. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively included 33 patients with distal hypospadias operated on between June 2010 and September 2011. Urethroplasties were performed using the Duplay technique. During surgery, 5-10 ml of patient's blood was collected and immediately centrifuged. A PRF clot was transformed into a dense fibrin membrane with a particular cell content and architecture. This membrane was applied and sutured over the urethroplasty. The perioperative course and complications were recorded. Outcomes were compared with those in a control group of children undergoing the same procedure, but with another mean of coverage. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 8 months (range, 6-18 months), urethral fistula occurred in 2/33 patients. No other complication was noted. No complication related to the blood sampling was reported. There was no statistically significant difference with the control group (p = 0.65). CONCLUSION: The PRF patch seems to be a safe and efficient covering technique. Thus, procedure is an additional approach to coverage for hypospadias surgery, and may help to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications when coverage healthy tissue is not available.

Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN-IV) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of unexplained fever, extensive anhidrosis, total insensitivity to pain, hypotonia, and mental retardation. The most frequent complications of this disease are corneal scarring, multiple fractures, joint deformities, osteomyelitis, and disabling self-mutilations. We reported the case of a 12-year-old boy. The goal was to discuss our decision-making and compare this case with cases described in the literature.

The use of the dorsalis pedis flap with vascularized extensor tendons was presented. An anatomic study has been carried out that has shown that the vascularization of the foot extensor tendons can be exclusively dependent on the blood contribution coming from the dorsalis pedis artery. In two cases that are presented and followed up for over a year after the surgery, the functional results obtained are good in the hand and aesthetically acceptable in the foot.

The adductor magnus tendon and its insertion (cortical and cancellous bone) are vascularized by the articular branch of the descending genicular artery of the knee. Anatomic findings support a reliable transfer of vascularized bone or tendon. Some applications are restoration of the cruciate ligament of the knee, free vascularized bone transfer for treatment of avascular bone necrosis or post-traumatic pseudoarthrosis, and pedicled tendon transfer to reinforce repairs of the medial ligament of the knee.
