HUMAN LONGINGS AND MASCULINE TERRORS: MASCULINITY AND SEPARATION FROM MOTHER

ABSTRACT The paper explores two literary texts - Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment and Euripides'play Bacchae - from the point of view of immature masculinity and the catastrophe that can follow if the boy fails to achieve a genuine separation from the maternal object. The author examines the masculine anxieties and defences that arise when the boy fails to work through the Oedipus complex and instead retreats to a dyadic relation with mother which excludes the father. This retreat involves a denial of reality and the creation of a paranoid world in which his own wishes to take possession of mother can be experienced by him as an intrusion by the mother into his own masculine identity and ultimately as castration by the mother. Attempts to resolve this threat to masculinity include the use of anal defences and tyrannical states of mind in the creation of a pseudo-masculinity.
The movement into the male Oedipus complex necessarily involves a psychological state in which the externality of the oedipal-object mother is continually in danger of being blurred by the shadow cast by the pre-oedipal mother. (Thomas Ogden 1992)     

Treatment of a recurrent inguinal lymphocele in a penis cancer patient by lymphography and selective ligation of lymphatic vessels

We report a case of recurrent inguinal lymphocele formation after inguinal lymphadenectomy treated by lymphographic mapping and selective ligation of the lymphatic vessels. Lymphographic mapping was performed by puncturing a lymphatic vessel at the dorsum of the foot. After isolating the vessels that drained into the lymphocele, they were clipped and divided through a small skin incision. The described technique showed an instant and complete suspension of the lymph secretion with subsequent complete healing. Lymphatic mapping and selective ligation of afferent lymphatic vessels proved to be an effective treatment of a recurrent inguinal lymphocele.
