Test Results

To assess the efficacy, quality of life, and complication rate of cochlear implantation in patients over 60 years of age, we performed a retrospective chart review of 31 cochlear implant patients more than 60 years old at the time of surgery (mean, 70 years; range, 62 to 86 years). All patients had improvement in their audiological test results after operation. Twenty-eight patients (93%) are regular implant users at a median follow-up of 12 months. Major complications occurred in 2 patients (6%). We conclude that cochlear implantation in the elderly population has excellent results, with a complication rate similar to that in patients less than 60 years old, and yields an improved quality of life.

Background: As the laparoscopic method is becoming a popular choice of repair, the need to evaluate its impact on the patient’s quality of life (QOL) is also warranted. This study was undertaken to compare post operative QOL in patients undergoing Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) and Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for indirect inguinal hernia.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery at VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, from June 2016 to March 2018. Patients with uncomplicated indirect inguinal hernia were included in the study after obtaining their informed consent. Post-operative QOL was evaluated using EuraHS-QOL scale at 24 hours and 1, 3 and 6 months after the surgery.Results: A total of sixty patients were enrolled-30 in TEP group and 30 in TAPP group. There was no statistical significant difference in scores at 24 hours follow-up except cosmetic discomfort domain, with higher scores in TAPP (p-value=0.014). Statistical significant difference was present at 1 month follow up with higher scores in TAPP (p-value=0.011). At 3 and 6 months, no statistical difference was found in the scores.Conclusions: Present study demonstrates a significant advantage of TEP over TAPP up to 1-month follow-up, in terms of post-operative QOL. Choosing a superior laparoscopic method between TEP and TAPP requires high powered RCTs with long term follow up to assess the technical advantages and post-operative complications along with post-operative quality of life in patients.

Aim: Describe the safety and effectiveness of intra-articular bone marrow concentrate (BMC) injection to treat knee and/or hip osteoarthritis (OA) in a Canadian cohort. Materials & methods: A total of 112 patients with refractory OA received a single intra-articular injection of BMC into their knee(s) and/or hip(s). Pain, disability and quality of life were prospectively assessed prior to and 3, 6 and 12 months post-injection. Results: Outcome scores were significantly improved at all time points post-BMC injection with maximal improvement observed at 3–6 months. Improvements were unrelated to patient age, sex or radiographic OA severity. The complication rate was <2%. Interpretation: In this Canadian cohort, knee/hip OA treated with a single BMC injection resulted in significant improvements in pain, disability and quality of life and a low complication rate.
