The practice of general surgery in a prison population differs considerably from that in a general surgical practice. We audited surgical consultations at the Mangaung Correctional Centre from December 2003 to April 2009. We found a high incidence of foreign object ingestion and anal pathology. Understanding the medical and social aspects of prison life facilitates the treatment of inmates with surgical problems.
监狱人群中的普通外科手术实践与普通外科手术实践有很大的不同。我们对 2003 年 12 月至 2009 年 4 月曼加翁惩教中心的外科会诊进行了审核。我们发现异物摄入和肛门病的发病率很高。了解监狱生活的医疗和社会方面有助于治疗有外科问题的囚犯。
