Adding timely rehabilitation surgery is an optimized perioperative measure that can reduce physical stress, reduce surgical risks, and postoperative complications and promote the recovery of organ function. Therefore, it is of great value to study its application in gastrointestinal surgery (GS). To this end, this article applies retrospective analysis and statistical methods to conduct targeted investigations and studies on GS patients. The results of the survey showed that 26.7% of patients were effective in ARS and 40% were effective in treatment. Compared with traditional treatment methods, its effective treatment rate is 13.4% higher.

There are presented results of surgical treatment of 347 patients with colorectal cancer. Based on the retrospective analysis a comparative study of results of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer using laparoscopic technologies and “open” access was carried out. Predictive factors that correlate with the risk of postoperative complications with laparoscopic and “open” access at the surgical stage of treatment for colorectal cancer were determined.

Abstract Introduction: Postoperative complications after major upper gastrointestinal surgery can be devastating. Malnutrition has been found to be an important risk factor for postoperative complications. However, attempts at trying to detect malnourished patients preoperatively can be cumbersome and complex and are often not done. One simplified way of assessing nutritional status is the ANS system. The aim of this study was to show the relationship between ANS score and the postoperative outcome. Methodology: Medical record of all patients undergoing major EG and HB surgeries at Concord Hospital between 2010 and 2012 were retrospectively analysed. Results: 83 patients were operated and included (1) Whipples' procedure (20.5%), (2) total/subtotal gastrectomy (44.6%), (3) Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (18%), and (4) distal pancreatectomy (14.5%). The mean ANS score was 1.58. Patients with higher ANS score (2 or more) were found to have significantly higher rates of wound infection (41% vs 12%, p<0.002), anastomotic leaks (13.7% vs 1.92%, p=0.034), unexpected return to operating theatre (31% vs 3.9%, p<0.001), slower return of bowel function as compared to patients with low ANS score (0 or 1). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the importance of screening for malnourished patients prior to their operation. Given its simplicity and effective predictive value, we recommend use of ANS system.

Abstract Objectives Vipadika (Palmo plantar Psoriasis) is a Kshudra Kushta (minor skin disorder) of Vatakapha origin (body humors like vata and kapha) characterized by Sphutana (cracks) and Teevra Vedana (severe pain) in Pani (palm) and Pada (sole). Based on the symptoms it can be correlated to Palmo Plantar Psoriasis which is a variant of psoriasis which affects the skin of the palms and soles with the features of hyperkeratotic, pustular, or mixed morphologies. The treatment methods for Palmo plantor psoriasis causes severe side effects due to which an evident shift from modern treatments to ayurvedic treatment line. Case presentation A 15 year old, female, with complaint of cracks and dryness over sole of both feet with pain for the last 12 and half years. The case was managed with Padanimajjana (immersion of foot). Padanimajjana is a modified form of Avagaha Sweda (switz bath) where the affected part of the foot is dipped in medicated liquid. Here Mahisha Gritha (Buffaloe ghee) is used for Padanimajjana. Conclusions Mahisha Gritha Padanimajjana shows significant improvement in number of cracks, dryness and pain within short period of time. This is a very simple, economical, and effective treatment for Vipadika.

This chapter examines the medical challenges posed by the increased number of gunshot wounds during the civil wars, and sets out the changes in the way these wounds were treated. The treatment of battlefield wounds expounded in surgeons’ manuals, is placed in context with what we now understand about the biology, pathology and effective treatment methods for wounds. The techniques used by the civil-war surgeon are compared with those of later periods. Despite a lack of understanding of microbiology, physiology and, in many cases, anatomy, many methods employed by civil-war military surgeons reflect good contemporary surgical practice. Despite the lack of antibiotics, anaesthetics, hygienic environments and high-quality surgical implements, survival rates from injuries on the field arrear to have been considerable, if treated. In developing treatments for the problems posed by gunshot wounds, some civil-war surgeons used an evidence-based approach, and laid the foundations for much modern surgical practice.

— 185 patients with ureteral stones were treated with ESWL (118 with lumbar ureteral stones, 63 pelvic, 4 sacroiliac). 182 patients (98.3%) were treated with ESWL in-situ by means of a Dornier MFL-5000 lithotriptor. Stone size varied from 0.6 to 1.4 cm (mean 0.9 cm); 145 patients (86.9%) were stone-free after one treatment. The re-treatment rate was 13% for lumbar ureteral stones, 25% for sacroiliac and 12.5% for pelvic stones. We report no complications. 11 patients (6.04%) had to be treated subsequently with ureteroscopic fragmentation and 4 (2.19%) with open surgery. We conclude that in-situ ESWL is also a safe and effective treatment for distal ureteral stones, for which ureteroscopy is also a successful technique but with higher morbidity, and should therefore be performed in case of failure of ESWL. We have more chance of success if the in-situ treatment is performed as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic gastrointestinal emergency surgery and postoperative complications. Methods Data for 604 patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery between January 2013 and December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Treatment efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between 300 patients (control group) undergoing traditional laparotomy and 304 patients (observation group) undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Results Clinical features were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group, including duration of surgery (59.12 ± 10.31 minutes vs. 70.34 ± 12.83 minutes), intraoperative blood loss (41.21 ± 10.45 mL vs. 61.38 ± 9.97 mL), postoperative pain score (1.25 ± 0.25 points. vs. 5.13 ± 0.43 points), length of hospital stay (5.13 ± 0.24 days vs. 7.05 ± 0.13 days), and time to free activity (13 ± 2.96 hours vs. 22 ± 3.02 hours). The total complication incidence in the observation group was 3.9%, compared with 16% in the control group (16%). No significant differences in direct medical costs were recorded between the observation and control groups. Conclusions For patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic surgery resulted in better clinical outcomes than traditional laparotomy without incurring additional costs. The potential clinical benefits of emergency laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery warrant further study.
