Complications after blood components still constitute an important clinical problem and serve as limitation of liberal-transfusion strategy. The aim of the study was to present the 5-year incidence of early blood transfusions complications and to assess their relation to the type of the transfused blood components. Material and methods. 58,505 transfusions of blood components performed in the years 2006-2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Data concerning the amount of the transfused blood components and the numbers of adverse transfusion reactions reported to the Regional Blood Donation and Treatment Center (RBDTC) was collected. Results. 95 adverse transfusion reactions were reportedto RBDTC 0.16% of alldonations (95/58 505) - 58 after PRBC transfusions, 28 after platelet concentrate transfusions and 9 after FFP transfusion. Febrile nonhemolytic and allergic reactions constitute respectively 36.8% and 30.5% of all complications. Conclusion. Nonhemolyticand allergic reactions are the most common complications of blood components transfusion and they are more common after platelet concentrate transfusions in comparison to PRBC and FFP donations.

Epidermal cyst is the most commonly observed cutaneous tumor. It usually involves the scalp, neck, face, back, and trunk. A commonly seen epidermal cyst is usually a slow-growing tumor of a diameter of 1-2 cm. Cysts with a diameter of more than 5 cm have rarely been reported in the literature. Herein we report a case of a giant epidermal cyst localized in the scalp of the occipital area, diagnostic problems and therapeutic proceedings.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition, in which rupture of the internal wall of the aorta is observed. The aim of the study was to present the techniques used in patients with type A Stanford aortic dissection treatment by means of carotid-carotid by-pass surgery and implantation of the aortic stent-graft with intentional occlusion of the left common carotid and subclavian arteries. Surgical methods were presented on the basis of three patients treated at the Department of Vascular, General and Oncological Surgery, Memorial Copernicus Hospital in Łódź. Different carotid- carotid bypass grafting techniques were also described. Our own clinical observations demonstrated that patients with retro-pharyngeal carotid-carotid bypass did not report dysphagia, and retropharyngeal grafting seems to be the optimal method considering patients in whom stent-grafts cause left carotid artery occlusion.

The aim of the study was to examine the utility of dermatoscopy in plastic surgeons’ practice in pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions management. Material and methods. The examined group consisted of 68 patients with 132 lesions (50 women and 18 men) aged from 12 to 75 years (the mean: 47.2 years ± 16.9 years), who underwent dermatoscopy. Dermatoscopic photographs were analysed according to the ABCD and 7-point scales and then, a further treatment (surgical excision, electro resection or regular follow-up and observations) was planned. Results. The mean score of all lesions according to ABCD scale was 2.34 while in 7-point scale it was 0.62. In male and female groups the number of lesions and their ABCD and 7-point scale scores were similar (p>0.05). Histopathological examination revealed that all excised lesions were benign (compound melanocytic nevi) which corresponded with dermatoscopic evaluation. Conclusions. Dermatoscopy seems to be helpful in surgeons’ dealing with skin lesions practise and in many cases it enables to choose less invasive technique of lesions’ removal (electro resection), which gives better aesthetic results.

Dehiscence of a median sternotomy wound is a potentially devastating and life-threatening complication of cardiac procedures.Depending on the localization, extensiveness, and profoundness of the defect a variety of muscle flaps may be used to cover the frontal mediastinum, in particular: pectoralis major, rectus abdominisor latissimus dorsi. In spite of several options for restoration of sternal integrity we cannot avoid following serious local complications increasing patients morbidity. The aim of this paper is to report a method of sternal dehiscence management. Surgical technique and its results are presented on the example of two patients treated in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic, Medical University in Łódź because of sternal dehiscence after cardiovascular procedure with sternotomy. Our experience indicates that modified bilateral pectoralis major flap seems to be effective surgical method of sternal dehiscence treatment. Also it is worth to remember that surgical procedure in this complication should be performed as soon as possible to decrease patient’s disability and to avoid following complications
