Appendicular Mass

Background: The immediate management of appendicular mass have always been controversial. Early appendicectomy (within 72 hours of presentation) is preferred in some cases, while in others non operative conservative management is advocated. Usually successful conservative management (Ochsner Sherren regimen) is followed by interval appendicectomy (6-8 weeks later). This study determines the outcome of different modalities of intervention in patients with appendicular mass.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Rajah Muthiah medical college hospital in department of general surgery from June 2018 to December 2020, in cases diagnosed to have appendicular mass. A total of 116 patients were included. After taking detailed history and clinical examination, relevant blood and radiological investigations, were done to achieve the final diagnosis. Presentation, examination findings, investigations, type of surgery, duration of surgery, post-operative complications and duration of hospital stay were studied. Data was collected, compiled, tabulated and analysed.Results: Conservative management followed by interval appendicectomy had lesser incidence of complications like Intraoperative adhesions, surgical site infection, wound dehiscence and enterocutaneous fistula. It also had relatively lesser operative time and lesser period of hospital stay.Conclusions: On comparing the different modalities of intervention, conservative management followed by interval appendicectomy is quite effective and safe method of treatment, with less operative difficulties and better outcome.

Wrist Splint

Conservative management of spiral/long oblique fractures of the shaft of the metacarpal almost always results in shortening and hence these fractures have the reputation of ending up with an extension lag and reduced grip strength. In a prospective study, 42 patients with 54 fractures were treated with a palmar wrist splint and immediate mobilisation of all finger joints. All fractures united. Extension lag of fractured fingers was initially seen in all fingers, but eventually recovered. Grip strength progressively increased to reach a mean of 94% of the contralateral hand by 1 year after injury.

A Prospective Study

Background: Intestinal obstruction continues to be a common surgical emergency throughout the world and its management protocol has evolved over years.  In our study we aimed to provide a complete epidemiological description of intestinal obstruction in adult age group patients in a tertiary care hospital in Northern India.Methods: This is a prospective study of patients belonging to age group more than 12 years admitted in our unit with clinical features suggestive of intestinal obstruction from September 2011 to December 2013 at R. N. T. Medical College, Udaipur. The study comprised of 134 patients.Results: Intestinal obstruction contributed to 6.5% of all surgical admissions. It was nearly twice more common in males. 43% patients presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction in comparison to 57% who presented with features of sub-acute intestinal obstruction. Most common cause observed was obstruction due to intra-abdominal adhesions followed by abdominal tuberculosis 48 and 29 percent respectively. Features of intestinal obstruction resolved in 60% patients with conservative management. Adhesions, abdominal tuberculosis and malignancy counted for majority of patients with sub-acute obstruction.  Emergency surgery was done in 32% of patients and 36.5 % of patients were discharged non-operatively. Planned Surgery after successful expectant management was done in 24 % patients. Most frequently seen complication was wound site collection (72.5%) followed by respiratory tract infections (49%). Total mortality in our study was 12.6% of which 41% was post-operative mortality and 59% mortality seen in patients who expired during conservative management.    Conclusions: This study demonstrates that intra-abdominal adhesions and abdominal tuberculosis account for most cases of intestinal obstruction in countries like India. A watchful expectant management can be tried in patients with prior operative history and those with history of tuberculosis.

A Prospective Study

Acute Appendicitis is a surgical emergency. Patients present with pain in right lower abdomen, with other symptoms like nausea/vomiting, fever, diarrhoea, urinary symptoms. Diagnosis is based on a multimodality approach that includes, clinical, radiological and pathological findings. Alvarado Score helps determine the severity of infection, confirm diagnosis and guide further management. Management is either conservative with antibiotics or surgical depending on severity. However approach to surgical management has changed with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It has necessitated categorisation of surgical procedures into essential and non essential to limit risk to both patient and surgical team and also for prioritization of resources to the rising, continued spread of Covid-19. We present a prospective study of 25 cases of appendicitis presenting during the Covid Pandemic between 15th March and 30th May to our hospital, with an intent to try conservative management for all patients except in the presentations with complications like perforation, abscess or the presence of fecolith or poor response to conservative management.Patients not amenable to conservative management were treated by Open appendicectomy.
