[Thirty years of laser-assisted microvascular anastomosis (LAMA): what are the clinical perspectives?]

Since the first studies by Jain and Gorisch (1979), laser-assisted anastomoses have been steadily developed to a stage where clinical use is within reach. The laser-assisted vascular microanastomosis (LAMA) procedure is performed more quickly than conventional anastomosis, the surgically induced vessel damage is limited, and reduced bleeding after unclamping is observed

SUMMARY. Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare but potentially fatal infection. It usually complicates skin traumas, such as lacerations, scratches, insect bites, burns and recent surgeries. Rapid diagnosis is crucial for a favourable prognosis. NSTI is an emergency surgical condition and every delay in the operative treatment has a proven negative effect. Recently, a rare case presented to us with a late diagnosis of NSTI complicating a scald burn of the lower limb. The patient's injury was initially treated as a burn case but unfortunately ended in an above knee amputation. We report our management experience in this case, with a review of the literature
