Abstract Background Exploratory laparotomy remains one of the common operations across the surgical disciplines. As such, the systematic and safe closure of such a laparotomy wound is the key to reduce the postoperative morbidity like wound pain, wound infection and incisional hernia. Objective To compare mass closure & Hughes repair in emergency laparotomy as regard intraoperative technique, operation time, incidence of complication as wound infection, dehiscence, burst abdomen and incisional hernia. Patients and Methods This is a prospective comparative study between two types of closure, mass closure and hughes repair in emergency laparotomies. This study was conducted at Ain-Shams University Emergency Hospitals. Patients who underwent emergency laprotomy from September 2017 to March 2018 and the patients were followed up postoperatively for six months. All patients who underwent emergency laparotomy at Ain-Shams University Emergency Hospitals from September 2017 to March 2018 were chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results In this study we used the same suture and materials” Polydioxanone PDS loop 1”. The comparative study included several items to discuss starting from the time of the technique in our study it ranged from 12 -19 minutes in the conventional method “Mass closure” and it ranged from 24-31 minutes in the huge repair group. It was observed that the length of the laprotomy incision determine the time of the technique. The overall operative time of mass closure group was shorter than the hughe repair technique Conclusion It was observed that there were major factors that affected the results such as the reason for the laparotomy and the general condition of the patient especially the chest condition, diabetes mellitus, serum albumin, anemia and the body mass index.

Background: Commonest approach in emergency open abdominal surgeries remains to be midline laparotomy because it is simple, saves time and causes minimal blood loss. Optimal technique for laparotomy wound closure has been a topic of debate since long. Risk factors for development of incisional hernia and burst abdomen are wound infection, systemic illnesses of patient and closure technique. Factors related to patients like age, gender, body mass index (BMI), systemic illnesses are not modifiable when an emergency laparotomy is the only option. Hence closure technique is one factor where surgeon has total control, which can bring down the incidence of burst abdomen and incisional hernias.Methods: Prospective study conducted in 150 patients who underwent emergency midline laparotomy from December 2014 to February 2016 in Krishna Rajendra Hospital attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore, Karnataka, India with 6 months’ follow-up after surgery.Results: Most of patients in the study belonged to 30-40-year group and were males (78%). Gastrointestinal perforation peritonitis (52%) was the single most common indication for emergency midline laparotomy. In the continuous and interrupted groups, post-operative wound infection was found in 54.6% and 34.6%, wound dehiscence was found in 16% and 6.6% and incisional hernia in 14.4% and 4% respectively.Conclusions: Interrupted suturing is superior to continuous technique in emergency midline laparotomy wound closure in terms of complications and post-operative morbidity.

Background: The incidences of post-operative complications are higher after laparotomy particularly in emergency. This study was aimed to evaluate and compare postoperative complications after emergency versus elective laparotomy performed at Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar.Methods: This comparative study was carried out at Department of General Surgery in Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar, Madhya Pradesh during period of January 2015 to February 2016. All the patients who underwent laparotomy (elective or emergency) were included in the study. Demographic data about patients was collected and noted in pro forma. Patients were followed in postoperative period and any complication developed recorded. Complications compared according to nature of laparotomy whether elective or emergency.Results: A total of 350 patients underwent emergency laparotomy and 50 patients underwent elective laparotomy. 128 (36.57%) patients developed complications following emergency laparotomy while 11 (22%) patients developed complication after elective laparotomy. Postoperative complications following emergency laparotomy included pyrexia (18.2%) followed by nausea and vomiting (12%), wound infection (11.4%), respiratory tract infection (6.85%), urinary tract infection (2.28%), gastrointestinal complications (3.71%), toxemia and septicaemia (8%).  After elective laparotomy 20% patients showed postoperative fever, 10% patients suffered from postoperative nausea and vomiting and wound infection was noted in 4% patients.Conclusions: In comparison to elective laparotomy postoperative complications are more common in emergency laparotomy.

Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the procedure of choice for periampullary neoplasms. It is considered as a major surgical procedure. It is associated with relatively higher postoperative mortality and morbidity rate, however, with development of technology, proper patient selection, meticulous operative technique, appropriate postoperative care, morbidity and mortality rate has decreased subsequently. Up to the 1970s, the operative mortality rate after pancreaticoduodenectomy approached 20% but it has been reduced to less than 5% in recent reports. This study is designed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure in our set up. Objective: To evaluate the outcome of the pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure with the intention to measure operation time and per-operative bleeding, observing postoperative anastomotic leakage and gastric emptying time. To find out postoperative wound infection and complications to detect the dumping syndrome. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka from July 2013 to January 2017. Fifty patients who underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticodudenectomy procedure were included in this study. Results: Out of 50 postoperative patients, 12(24%) patients developed complications. Of these patients, 3(6%) developed wound infection, 2(4%) developed bile leakage and 2(4%) developed postoperative haemorrhage. Pancreatic fistula, vomiting, delayed gastric emptying and abdominal collection all were 1(2%) each. Postoperative mortality was 3(6%). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the development of postoperative complications after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy is as similar as published in different studies. Better outcome can be achieved with meticulous pre-operative evaluation of risk factors and per-operative skill maneuvering. Journal of Armed Forces Medical College Bangladesh Vol.13(1) 2017: 42-45

الملخّصيتعلق هذا البحث بموضوع دية القتل الخطأ في الحوادث المرورية في الفقه الإسلامي في العصر الحاضر لكثرة وقوعها وحاجة الناس إلى بيان أحكامها من حيث كيفية تقديرها. وتحرير الخلاف في دية المرأة، ومسألة دية الجنين في حال تعرضه للموت في بطن أمه نتيجة الحادث المروري، أو في حالة تعرضه للإجهاض والموت، وتناول أيضًا دية شخصين إذا ماتا نتيجة اصطدام سيارتين؛ فكيف تقدَّر الدِّية؟ وعالج البحث مسألة العاقلة في الوقت الحاضر التي تساعد الطرفين (الجاني والمجني عليه وذلك بجمع الدية وإعطائها للمجني عليه). وذلك من خلال استخدام المنهج الاستقرائي والمنهج المقارن: حيث يتم من خلاله جمع النصوص المتعلقة بالموضوع، وآراء العلماء المتقدمين، والمعاصرين، والمقارنة بينهما لمعرفة نقاط الاتفاق والاختلاف، لتجلية معالم الموضوع، وتسهيل مناقشتها بصورة دقيقة، ثم بيان الرأي الراجح. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى أنَّ دية القتل في الحوادث المرورية في العصر الحاضر تساوي بالدينار الذهبي، الذي يساوي 4.250 جرامًا من الذهب، أو بما يساويها من النقد. وأنَّ الراجح هو تساوي دية الرجل مع دية المرأة. وفي حالة عدم وجود العاقلة لابأس من إنشاء شركة تعاونية لمساعدة من وقع منه الحادث.الكلمات المفتاحية: الدِّية، حوادث المرور، دية المرأة، دية الجنين، العاقلة. Abstract         This research addresses the subject of blood money for unintended manslaughter in traffic accidents according to Islamic jurisprudence in the present era due to the frequency of their occurrence and the need for people to understand the legal provisions concerning determining the amount. In this regard, we seek to clarify the disagreements regarding the blood money for women and foetuses that die in the mother’s womb as a result of traffic accidents or abortion. We also address the issue of blood money for two people who die as a result of collision between two cars. We also examine the issue of ʿĀqilah (those who pay the blood money) who helped the two parties (the offender and the victim by collecting blood money and giving it to the victim). To clarify these issues, we use the inductive approach and comparative method wherein we collect the various texts on the subject, and the views of classical and contemporary scholars to engage in a comparison between them in order to identify the points of agreement and disagreement between views. From here, we also hope to identify the major factors pertaining to such issues in order to facilitate a precise and concrete discussion to arrive at the most correct opinion. The study found that blood money for manslaughter in traffic accidents in the present era is equal to a gold dinar, which is equal to 4.250 grams of gold, or its cash equivalent. We advocate that the correct view is that the amount of blood money paid to a man is equal to that of a woman, and that in the absence of an ʿĀqilah it is possible to form a cooperative or mutual fund to render assistance to the victim.Keywords: blood money, traffic accidents, women, foetus, ʿĀqilah.

The research would look further at the representation of the human body in both Balinese and Javanese traditional houses and compared the function and meaning of each part. To achieve the research aim, which was to evaluate and compare the representation of the human body in Javanese and Balinese traditional houses, a qualitative method through literature and descriptive analysis study was conducted. A comparative study approach would be used with an in-depth comparative study. It would revealed not only the similarities but also the differences between both subjects. The research shows that both traditional houses represent the human body in their way. From the architectural drawing top to bottom, both houses show the same structure that is identical to the human body; head at the top, followed by the body, and feet at the bottom. However, the comparative study shows that each area represents a different meaning. The circulation of the house is also different, while the Balinese house is started with feet and continued to body and head area. Simultaneously, the Javanese house is started with the head, then continued to body, and feet area.
