Background: Testicular torsion is an organ-threatening surgical emergency with a limited timeframe for intervention. Objective: To identify the delays to surgical exploration of patients with an acute scrotum in a tertiary hospital to prevent adverse outcomes associated with this time critical emergency. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records for all patients who underwent scrotal exploration for acute scrotal pain in a tertiary hospital in regional New South Wales between January 2008 to December 2018 was performed. Results: Retrospective review identified 242 patients, of whom 161 had testicular torsion and 56 resultant orchidectomies. No statistically significant difference in pre-hospital delays between paediatric or adult populations was found. The average time from presentation to theatre was 4 h 36 min. Patients who were delayed > 6 h from presentation to surgical exploration had significantly increased rates of orchidectomy. Delays that significantly affected rates of orchidectomy were transfer from peripheral sites, late presentation, misdiagnosis and representation after discharge. Conclusion: The most common reason for delay was diagnostic error with the patient later re-presenting to hospital. Patient transfer from the primary hospital to a tertiary institution and subsequent delayed surgical exploration also contributed to significantly higher rates of orchidectomy. Level of Evidence: 3

Background: This retrospective review was performed to identify the incidence, causes, and details of hand injuries in patients presenting to a tertiary hospital in Eastern Nepal.Objective: To identify the incidence, causes, and details of hand injuries in patients.Method: Records of all patients who had sustained hand injuries for last 5 years were collected from the medical record section. Altogether 832 injuries of hand in 484 patients were reported in this review. These patients were reviewed for age at the time of injury, gender, location of the incident, mechanism of injury, and fracture specifies.Result: 414 (85.5%) males with mean age of 28.79 ± 12.81 and in female with 30.43 ±17.13 yrs were found. Machinery injuries (25.2%) were the most common causes of injuries followed by RTA (14.5%). Metacarpal bone fractures (34.6%) were the commonest injury of the hand. Most of the patients were treated with open reduction and fixation with K wires.Conclusion: The study reveals the aetio-epidemiological and clinical aspect of hand injuries with its alarming burden in Nepal.Health Renaissance 2015;13(2): 125-133
