Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with high healthcare costs and worsen the post-operative course of a considerable proportion of general abdominal surgical patients. SSIs raise the risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality, necessitating hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, and potentially surgical reintervention. The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of intermittent loose knots and the conventional vertical mattress suturing in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.Methods: This prospective comparative study was done in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgeries for any cause. Patients were divided into 2 groups- (a) group 1 (45 patients): intermittent loose knots between conventional vertical mattress sutures; (b) group 2 (45 patients): conventional vertical mattress suturing.Results: In this study, 31% of patients were in the 41-50 years age group, 53.3% of patients were male. Among various abdominal surgery opted, laparotomy was the most commonly performed procedure (47%). In this study, group 1 patients shown a decrease in wound gap, secondary wound closure and delayed wound approximation than group 2 patients.Conclusions: Loose knots in between conventional vertical mattress sutures are better than conventional vertical mattress suturing in terms of wound gap, secondary wound closure and delayed wound approximation.

Circumcision of Neonate, Infant, Children as well as adult is done for many purposes of them religious, disease process and to prevent some diseases. Pain is the main problem of circumcision. Infant and Children will not allow local analgesia. General anaesthesia needed for them. Neonate and adult may allow local anaesthesia. So, local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, combination of local and general anaesthesia can be given. It is a minor procedure but anaesthesia for circumcision is not easy and should not be taken lightly. Complications related to circumcision anaesthesia can be minimized by proper selection of patient and type of anaesthesia. In our country circumcision done for religious purpose so a large number of circumcisions done by professional hazzam (non doctor). Doctors including general practitioners and surgeons are also doing this procedure. Complications related to anaesthesia are mainly laryngospasm and hypoxia and ultimately cardiac and cerebral complications. Some of them are highlighted in the media and newspapers but unknown cases are not less. If we can prevent and manage the complications like laryngospasm then this procedure can be done safely.

Minor Procedure

SummaryIn patients with an increased tendency to bleeding and severe varicose veins, even the minimally invasive venous procedure CHIVA requires careful planning and risk assessment. CHIVA treatment is reported in a 67-year-old female patient with aneurysm of the great saphenous vein at the saphenofemoral junction, reflux above and below the knee (Hach III), skin changes (C4a) and von Willebrand’s disease. Radiofrequency was used over a 13 cm segment in the proximal great saphenous vein. The result shows a reduction in the diameter of the great saphenous vein at the thigh from 8.2 to 5.4 mm and an absence of reflux and absence of clinic. Even in patients with severe findings, a minor procedure can achieve a good clinical result with low risk.
