Background: Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is one of the common causes of obstructive uropathy dealt by urologists around the globe. The management of PUJO requires surgical intervention and pelvi-ureteral anastomosis is most time-consuming step in surgery and suturing plays a critical role for the good outcome of the surgery. Objective: To assess the outcomes of continuous or interrupted suturing in open pyeloplasties done for PUJ obstruction. Materials and methods: This comparative study was conducted in the department of Urology in a tertiary care hospital of eastern India. A total of 60 patients with pelviureteric junction obstruction were included as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups depending upon whether continuous (Group A) or interrupted (Group B) suturing was done. Both groups were compared for mean operative time, mean suturing time, duration of post-operative drainage, mean drain output, post-operative hospital stay, postoperative GFR and improvement in GFR. Results: Out of 60 patients continuous and interrupted suturing was done in 30 patients in both arms. Out of 60 cases there were 46 (76.66%) males and 14 (23.33%) females with a M:F ratio of 1:0.30. The mean age in group A and group B was found to be 30.06 ± 8.28 and 27.63 ± 6.07, respectively. Mean operative time, mean suturing time, duration of post-operative drainage, mean drain output and postoperative hospital stay were found to be higher in interrupted suture group and the difference was found to be statistically highly significant ( p < 0.0001). The complication rates and recurrence rates were found comparable in both the cases with no statistically significant difference ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: Continuous suturing technique for pyeloplasty is preferable as it is found to have a lower mean operative time, mean suturing time, duration of post-operative drainage, mean drain output and postoperative hospital stay.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common procedure for the removal of renal stones larger than 2 cm size with the advantages of lower morbidity rates, decrease in post-operative pain with faster post-operative recovery & thereby less duration of postoperative hospital stay. One of the fundamental steps of PCNL is the creation of the nephrostomy access. It can be done either by single shot dilatation or by multi-increment serial dilatation technique. Objectives: To compare the outcome of PCNL done by single versus serial dilatation technique with specific reference to renal access time, total operative time, stone clearance rate, postoperative haematuria and duration of postoperative hospital stay. Methods: It was a prospective interventional study with a sample size of sixty where odd number patients were included in group A (PCNL by single shot dilatation technique) & even number patients were in group B (PCNL by serial dilatation technique). After meticulous checking and rechecking, collected data were compiled and statistical analysis was done using computer based software SPSS (statistical package for social science, Version- 16) and Students t-test and Chi-square test were applied for hypothesis testing. ‘P’ value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Comparison between the two groups regarding stone size, stone clearance rate, postoperative haematuria and postoperative hospital stay were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). But mean renal access time in minutes (group A was 3.43 ± 1.14 and group B was 4.20 ± 1.37) and the mean operative time in minutes (group A was 91.13 ± 19.08 and group B was 101.67 ± 15.81) between the groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Percutaneous nephrostomy access can be successfully performed by single shot dilatation technique during PCNL with the advantages of shorter renal access time and total operative time.

Background: Urolithiasis is the most common urological disease. Surgical treatment of ureteral stones consists of four minimally invasive modalities including ESWL, URS, PCNL, and laparoscopic or robotic-assisted stone surgery. URS and ESWL are the most widely used techniques. However, the use of ureteral stents for the treatment of ureteral stones is still controversial. Herein, we did a comparative study of URS with and without DJ stenting for the management of ureteric stones. Objectives of current study were to compare prevalence of post-operative complications in patients undergoing ureterorenoscopy without ureteral stenting as compared to patients undergoing stenting procedure, to study the frequency of morbidity in patients during post -operative period in both ‘stent’ and ‘no stent’ groups. Stone free-rate, operative time, complications, hospital stay and need for re-treatment in both groups will be determined.Methods: 50 patients with ureteric stones admitted in our hospital-SMIMER fulfilling our inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided in two groups- patients in group A (25) underwent URS without DJ stenting and group B (25) underwent URS with DJ stenting.Results: URS without DJ stenting had less operative time, less postoperative complications like pain, requirement of analgesia, hematuria, UTI, dysuria, fever, less readmission rate and less hospital stay, similar stone free rate compared to URS with DJ stenting but it requires higher surgical endoscopy skills with urological expertise.Conclusions: Thus, after adequate training, URS without DJ stenting can be recommended as a safe alternative procedure than URS with DJ stenting for management of ureteric stones.

Introduction: Gallstones are common biliary pathology. The Vast majority of subjects are asymptomatic. About 0.2% of the population suffering from gallstones develop acute cholecystitis every year. In case of acute calculous cholecystitis, cholecystectomy can be performed early i.e during the same admission or interval i.e after 6 weeks of conservative management. Objective: To compare the early and interval cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis for morbidity, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay and complications. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: Department of Surgery Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Duration of Study: Two year study from December 2007 to December 2009. Subject and Methods: Sixty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A patients were managed by early cholecystectomy and group B patients by intervalcholecystectomy. Postoperatively patients were evaluated for postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay and postoperative complications. Results: The mean age of the patients in group A was 42.2 + 10.7 years and in group B was 42.2+ 10.7 years. The Male to female ratio was 1:4 in both groups. The mean postoperative hospital stay in group A was 4.0+ 1.8days and in group B was 3.8+ 1.4 days. The mean total hospital stayin group A was 6.5 + 1.7 days and in group B was 10.2 + 1.3 days. The P value was less than 0.001, which was significant. In distribution of postoperative complications, in group A there were 1(3.3%) injury to biliary tree, 4(13.3%) wound infection,1(3.3%) wound haematoma, 3 (10%) seroma and 1(3.3%) wound dehiscence. While in group B there were 1(3.3%) injury to biliary tree, 3(10%) wound infection,2 (6.7%) wound haematoma, 2(6.7%) & no patient of wound dehiscence. Conclusion: Our study suggests that early cholecystectomy is a better treatment option than interval cholecystectomy because it has less total hospital stay, needs single hospital visit and has no risk of developing complications during wait for surgery.

Objectives: This study is aimed to compare the results of limited urethral mobilization and tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in the management of anterior hypospadias, in terms of cosmetic and functional outcomes, complication rate, operative time, and hospital stay. Study Design: Prospective Randomized Controlled study. Settings: Department of Pediatric Surgery, DHQ Teaching Hospital Sahiwal. Period: January 2019 to December 2020. Material and Methods: A total of 89 patients with anterior hypospadias were included. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. In group A, limited urethral mobilization was performed and in group B, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was carried out. A self-structured performa was used to collect the data of all patients. Both groups were compared in terms of the operation time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, cosmetic appearance, and functional outcomes. Results: Forty-five patients were included in group A, age ranged from 2.5 to 12 years (mean 4.83years). Forty-four patients were included in group B and their ages ranged from 3.5 to 11years (mean 4.76 years). The operation time was significantly less for group A than for group B. In group A, it ranged from 54 to 69 min with an average time of 60.51 min and in group B from 70 to 88 min, with an average of 79.34 min. The mean hospital stay period in group A was 7.37 days, ranged from 7 to 9 days, and in group B was 11.04 days, ranging from 10 to 13 days. The mean follow-up period in both groups was 7.45 months, ranging from 3 months to 12 months. Meatal stenosis was the most common complication in group A, which developed in 6.66% (n=3) patients. Urethrocutaneous fistula was the most common complication in group B, which developed in 6.81% (n=3) patients. Cosmetic appearance and functional outcome were good and comparable in both groups. Conclusion: Although both techniques, tubularized incised plate and limited urethral mobilization urethroplasty are acceptable modalities for the management of anterior hypospadias. But limited urethral mobilization urethroplasty seems to be a good option due to its simplicity, short hospital stay, significant shorter operative time, low fistula formation rate, and good cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Background: Hydronephrosis in children is a common abnormality of the kidney. Surgical intervention in patient with hydronephrosis is to improve urinary drainage and to preserve renal function. Surgery (Anderson Hynes pyeloplasty: A-H pyeloplasty ) can be done with or without (Nephrostomy tube) D-J stent.Here we are describing our comparative experience between A-H pyeloplasty with D-J stent and A-H pyeloplasty with nephrostomy tube, at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University(BSMMU) to show the postoperative advantages of the former over the latter. Objectives: To assess functional outcome after A-H pyeloplasty with or without D-J stent in patients of unilateral hydronephrosis. Post operatively renal function was estimated after 3 months by DTPA renogram. Methods: It was a prospective study at Paediatric Surgery department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from April 2009 to October 2010. Twenty eight ( age, sex, side and type of operation matched) patients of unilateral hydronephrosis were included in the study and divided into two Groups: Group A (na =15) and Group B (nb=13) patients who underwent A-H pyeloplasty with D-J stent and A-H pyeloplasty with nephrostomy tube respectively. Child with bilateral hydronephrosis, hydronephrosis with associated anomalies like horseshoe kidney, ectopic kidney, solitary kidney, hydronephrosis with vesico ureteric reflux and redopyeloplasty were excluded in this study. Unpaired “t” test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis whereas postoperative hospital stay and renal functional improvement were used as parameters of the study. Results: For study Group A (A-H pyeloplasty with D-J stent) postoperative hospital stay were significantly lesser (P<0.00) than the GroupB ( A-H pyeloplasty with nephrostomy tube). Post operative split renal function and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Group A was improved (percentage) than Group B. Conclusion: This study reveals postoperative shorter hospital stay and improved postoperative split renal function in A-H pyeloplasty with D-J stent.

Abstract Background Transcatheter and intraoperative device closures have been widely used in the treatment of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD). However, for young infants with ASD, device closure remains controversial, and such treatment features limited data. We compared the clinical data and follow-up results of percutaneous and intraoperative device closure for ASD to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of both treatments in infants under 3 years of age. Methods From September 2010 to September 2018, 186 children under 3 years of age with significant secundum ASD were included in this study. A total of 88 and 98 patients were divided into groups A (transcatheter device closure) and B (intraoperative device closure), respectively. The clinical data and follow-up results of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. Result The mean age and weight of patients in group A were significantly higher than those in group B. The proportion of complex ASDs (multiples or rims deficiency) and the device/weight ratio in group B were significantly higher than those in group A. Successful closure was obtained in 86 (97.7%) and 96 (98.0%) infants in groups A and B, respectively, with two failed cases in each group (2.3% vs 2%). The rate of periprocedural complications reached 13.6 and 26.5% for groups A and B (P = 0.058), respectively. The durations of the procedure and postoperative hospital stay in group A were significantly shorter than those in group B (P < 0.05). Excellent follow-up results were observed in both groups. At present, no death nor major complications have occurred. Symptoms either resolved completely or improved significantly for all symptomatic infants. No residual shunts at the 6th month of follow-up evaluation were observed. Patients with failure to thrive gained weight appropriately for age, and the structure and hemodynamic parameters significantly improved during follow-up. Conclusion Transcatheter and intraoperative device closure are feasible, effective, and safe methods for the treatment of ASDs in infants under 3 years of age. Considering improved cosmetic effect and the short duration of the procedure and postoperative hospital stay, transcatheter is preferred for patients with appropriate conditions. Intraoperative device closure can be performed as an alternative to percutaneous closure, particularly for infants with large, complex ASDs, young age, or low-body weight.

Introduction:- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) prior to Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy(LC) is most commonly practiced strategy worldwide for management of co-existing cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis. The time interval between Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) and Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is questionable and varies from 1 day to 6 weeks in different studies. Aims and objectives:- To compare two groups of patients managed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (after ERCP), EARLY(24 to 72 hours), and LATE(> 6weeks) in terms of mean operative time in minutes, intraoperative difculties, conversion rates to open cholecystectomy, conversion rates to open cholecystectomy, drain insertion required or not, postoperative complications, and duration of hospital stay. Materials and methods:- A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted on 70 patients who presented with concomitant cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis over a period of January 2019 to June 2020 at the Department of General Surgery, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur. After ERCP and stone retrieval patients were randomised into 2 groups using sealed envelope method. Group A underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (24 to 72hours) and Group B underwent late laparoscopic cholecystectomy (after 6 weeks). Data collected, statistical analysis done, results and observations concluded. Result:- We found that mean operative time, intraoperative difculties, post operative complications and mean hospital stay in days were signicantly higher in Group B as compared to Group A. Though the conversion rates to open procedure and requirement of drain insertion were comparatively higher in Group B but were found to be statistically non signicant. Conclusion:- We hereby conclude that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (24 to 72 hours) after Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is better as compared to late laparoscopic cholecystectomy (>6 weeks) after ERCP in patients of cholelithiasis with coexisting choledocholithiasis. So, we recommend performing early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (24-72hours) after Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP)

Background: Diabetes and its complications are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It has been observedthatpatients who develop prolonged orcomplicated course of acute viral hepatitis (AVH) often have underlying diabetes.This study was designed to compare the outcome of AVH between type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Methods: This prospective observational studywas done in BIRDEM General Hospital from July 2011 to December 2013.A total of 60 patients suffering fromAVH admitted in Gastrointestinal, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Disorders (GHPD) Department were included. Of them 30 patients were diabetic (group A) and 30 patients were nondiabetic (group B). Patients’clinicaland biochemical parameters were evaluated during hospital stay. Results: Aetiology of AVH were hepatitis E (76.67%), hepatitis B (16.67%) and hepatitis A (6.67%). Among two groups(group A vs group B respectively); age in years (mean±SD) was 47.8±10.8 vs 30.7±11.0,gender distribution was (M/F) 18/12 vs 25/5; serum bilirubin (mean±SEM) 15.6±6.2 mg/dl vs9.8±5.5 mg/dl (p=0.001), serum ALT (mean±SEM) 735.5±92.2 iu/L vs 1491.3±189.0 iu/L, (p=0.01) and serum AST (mean±SEM) 567.9±66.9 iu/L vs 1024.8±209.2 iu/L (p=0.036). Mean duration of hospital stay in days was 17.9±8.2 vs 11.0±5.1(p<0.001) in group A and group B respectively. Sub-acute hepatic failure developed in 5(16.6%) cases of group A andonly 1(3.3%) case in group B. Three (10%) cases of group A developed acute pancreatitis who recovered with conservative treatment. No case of mortality was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Complications of AVH in diabetic patients were more than non-diabetics. Rational and appropriatemanagement in diabetic patients may reduce the morbidity and mortality rate. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(1): 14-17

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) evacuation by two burr-hole craniostomies under local versus general anesthesia (GA) in elderly patients over 70 years. Methods: This retrospective study included 45 patients with CSDH aged over 70 years old treated from March 2018 to April 2020. The cases were subdivided into Group A (n = 22) that underwent evacuation under local anesthesia and Group B (n = 23) that was treated under GA. Patients’ demographics and history of comorbidities were recorded. Variables including pre- and post-operative neurological status and Markwalder’s score, complication rate, operative time, and length of hospital stay were evaluated. Results: The mean and standard deviation of patients’ age of groups (A) and (B) were 74.3 ± 2.5 and 73.2 ± 1.7 years, respectively. Postoperative Glasgow Coma Scale of group (A) was statistically higher than Group B at postoperative day 1 (P = 0.01). Operative time was statistically shorter in Group A than B (P < 0.0001). The length of hospital stay was found to be longer in group (B) than (A) (P = 0.0001). The complication rate was found to be higher in group (B) than (A) (P = 0.044). Conclusion: Evacuation of CSDH under local anesthesia in elderly patients over 70 years is effective, safe, and economic with less complication rate than the traditional technique with GA.
