SummaryA retrospective study has assessed the early complications occurring in 90 patients who underwent inferior turbinectomy during a 3-year period. The operation was complicated by haemorrhage, adhesions, crusting, infection and septal perforation in a proportion of cases, the overall incidence being 20 per cent, and that of significant reactionary or secondary haemorrhage was 9 per cent. Attention has been directed towards possible aetiological factors and measures proposed that may minimise the occurrence of complications.

Objectives. A discussion with regard to the most optimal surgical procedure in nontoxic multinodular goitre (NTMNG). We assessed and compared three main types of operations in 2032 patients with NTMNG. Methods. This is a retrospective study of 2032 patients operated on in one center due to NTMNG. The observation period was 48 to 120 months (mean and SD: 87 ± 20). Results. The early complications included uni- and bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (URLNP, BRLNP), overt tetany (OT), and postoperative bleeding (POB). We observed after TT, STT, and DO URLNP: 15 (1.73%), 3 (0.64%), and 2 (0.28%), respectively (p<0.05); BRLNP: 3 (0.34%), 2 (0.43%), and 0 (0.0%), respectively (p=0.25); OT: 42 (4.84%), 6 (1.29%), and 9 (1.28%), respectively (p<0.0001); and POB: 11 (1.26%), 4 (0.86%), and 3 (0.42%), respectively (p=0.209). Persistent complications we observed after TT, STT, and DO are the following: URLNP: 9 (1.03%), 3 (0.64%), and 1 (0.14%), respectively (p=0.086); BRLNP: 1 (0.11%), 1 (0.21%), and 0 (0.0%), respectively (p=0.51); and OT: 11 (1.26%), 2 (0.43%), and 2 (0.28%), respectively (p=0.052). Incidental thyroid cancer (ITC) was recognized after TT, STT, and DO in 18 (2.07%), 21 (4.52%), and 11 (1.56%), respectively (p=0.039). Recurrent goitre (RG) was observed in 1 (0.11%) after TT, 3 (0.64%) after STT, and 2 (0.28%) after DO (p=0.234). Conclusions. Performing less radical surgery in NTMNG is associated with a significantly lower risk of early and late URLNP and OT. In the case of BRLNP (early and persistent) and POB, no statistically significant differences are seen. The occurrence of ITC is higher following more radical surgeries. Less radical surgery is connected with a higher risk of RG.

Objectives: To evaluate the early complications of Martin’s Modified DuhamelProcedure. Design: Retrospective study. Period: January 2017–December 2017. Setting: TheChildren Hospital & Institute of Child Health, Faisalabad. Material and Methods: This studyincluded Eighty Six children who underwent Martin’s modification of Duhamel’s procedure fortreatment of Hirschsprung’s disease. Results: Early postoperative complications (with in 1st 30days of operation) were observed in 86 patients. The complications noted were bleeding (n=3),wound infection (n=20), burst abdomen (n=5), anastomotic leak (n=8), intestinal obstruction(n=4), early post-operative constipation (n=6), enterocolitis (n=6), soiling (n=5) and mortality(n=2). Conclusion: Early post-operative complications in the series included bleeding, woundinfection, burst abdomen, anastomotic leak, intestinal obstruction, constipation, enterocolitis,soiling and death. The complications rate in this study is comparable to the previous studies.

Introduction: To ascertain the incidence of early complications in the posterolateral approach to open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolar fractures and identify possible risk factors related to occurrence of these complications. Methods: Retrospective study carried out in three tertiary hospitals. Patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route were divided into two groups: with versus without delayed postoperative healing. To assess risk and protective factors for the outcome of delayed healing, we evaluated the time between trauma and surgery, whether the patient had a fracture-dislocation of the ankle, and whether external fixation was performed before surgery. We also evaluated whether improvement in operative technique led to a reduction in complication rates. Results: A total of 43 individuals who underwent surgical correction of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route between 2013 and 2018 were included. Of these, 19 (44.2%) had skin complications that led to delayed healing. Skin complications occurred more frequently at the beginning of the learning curve of the surgeons involved; the incidence up to the year 2016 was 56.3%, decreasing significantly to 37% from 2017 onward. Conclusion: Patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolus fractures via the posterolateral route at the beginning of the learning curve are a greater risk of developing skin complications, demonstrating the importance of this approach being restricted to more experienced surgeons.
