A study has been made of the size of normal arteries supplying the lower limbs by measuring their circumferences at fixed points in cadavers and their diameters and lengths on aortographs. The arteriographs of a group of patients with dilated and elongated arteries have also been studied and a definition produced for the arteriographic condition known as arteriomegaly.

An evaluation of the fluorescein test and phlebography in the detection of incompetent perforating veins

British journal of surgery (1973)

K G Callum Laura J. Gray M. Lea Thomas

Abstract A study has been made of the accuracy of clinical assessment, the fluorescein test, and phlebography in the localization of incompetent perforating veins using an extensive subfascial exploration as the method of assessing the results. Clinical assessment was found to be 48 per cent accurate, the fluorescein test 39 per cent accurate, and phlebography 69 per cent accurate. Although phlebography is the most useful investigation we do not feel that it can be used to restrict a full surgical exploration of the medial side of the leg. However, it is valuable in drawing attention to the presence of incompetent perforating veins on the lateral aspect of the legs which in this series occurred in I of every 2 patients.

The Use of Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis and Management of Aorto-caval Fistula

EJVES Extra (2004)

S Venketraman Nikhil Kotnis Mario DeNunzio David Rose John A. Holt

Abdominal aorto-caval fistula is an unusual complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Pre-operative diagnosis is advantageous, enabling a carefully planned repair. We report three cases of aorto-caval fistula in which pre-operative computed tomography (CT) enabled precise diagnosis before repair.

Experience with the ‘skew flap’ below-knee amputation

British journal of surgery (1987)

James D. Harrison SA Southworth K G Callum

Abstract A review of 353 lower limb amputations over the last 7 years has been performed to assess the results of the skew flap myoplastic below-knee amputation which was introduced in April 1983 because of reported advantages in terms of wound healing and earlier ambulation. Comparing the first 3½ year period with the second, the total number of amputations decreased by 31 per cent. The number of above-knee amputations remained similar in the two periods (82, 62), whilst the number of Gritti-Stokes amputations fell from 79 to 21 (0·001 > P > 0·01). The proportion of below-knee (BK) amputations increased from 50 (23·7 per cent) to 59 (41·5 per cent) (0·01 > P > 0·025). The groups were comparable in terms of previous vascular surgery and co-existing medical conditions. The time to full stump healing was significantly shorter in the skew flap group compared with the earlier Burgess type BK amputation (P = 0·001), and there was a trend to fewer stump failures in the skew flap group. We therefore feel that the skew flap amputation gives superior results to the Burgess BK amputation in terms of healing and a lower complication rate, allowing a higher proportion of BK amputations to be performed. A prospective randomized trial of the two techniques is in hand to determine the accuracy of this hypothesis.

The Results of Nylon Darn Repair for Inguinal Hernia

Archives of Surgery (1974)

K G Callum

A study has been undertaken of patients having a nylon darn for inguinal hernia at St. Thomas's Hospital with a follow-up of 5 to 12 years and a comparison made with the results of other methods of repair previously studied at the hospital. One hundred and eighty-six repairs were performed with an overall recurrence rate of 7.5%. The recurrence rate for oblique hernia was 4.2% and for direct hernia 13.2%. The use of the nylon repair has produced an improvement on methods previously in use at this hospital. An analysis of the type of recurrence was made and some suggestions have been made to improve technique and subsequent results.
