Extensive Damage

A skin stretching device (SSD) harnessing the viscoelastic properties of skin using incremental traction has been used in 20 patients with skin deficits in the upper extremity. Complications were few considering the extensive damage to the skin and included slight partial dehiscence, necrosis of skin edges, local infection and hypertrophic scars. All wounds healed without the need for further surgical procedures. Application of the SSD is simple and it can even be used at the bedside under local anaesthesia. It reduces the need for more complicated surgical procedures like grafts or flaps.

Same Day Discharge

INTRODUCTION Over the last two decades increasing numbers of surgical procedures have been performed on an outpatient basis. In 2000 the National Health Service in England set the target of performing 75% or more of all elective surgical procedures as day cases and in 2001 the British Association of Day Surgery added thyroidectomy to the list of day case procedures. However, same day discharge following thyroidectomies has been adopted by only a very small number of UK centres. The aim of this review was to establish the evidence base surrounding same day discharge thyroid surgery. METHODS The British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons commissioned the authors to perform a review of the best available evidence regarding day case thyroid surgery as a part of a consensus position to be adopted by the organisation. A MEDLINE® review of the English medical literature was performed and the relevant articles were collated and reviewed. RESULTS There are limited comparative data on day case thyroid surgery. It is feasible and may save individual hospitals the cost of inpatient stay. However, the risk of airway compromising and life threatening post-operative bleeding remains a major concern since it is not possible to positively identify those patients most and least at risk of bleeding after thyroidectomy. It is estimated that half of all post-thyroidectomy bleeds would occur outside of the hospital environment if patients were discharged six hours after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Same day discharge in a UK setting cannot be endorsed. Any financial benefits may be outweighed by the exposure of patients to an increased risk of an adverse outcome. Consequently, 23-hour surgery is recommended.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to compare incidence of perforations in Latex and Nitrile examination gloves during Minor Oral surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia. METHODOLOGY: 100 pairs of latex and 100 pairs of Nitrile examination gloves where used to perform 200 minor oral surgical procedures under local anesthesia. After completion of every minor oral surgical procedure each gloves was examined by Water Inflation method to observe presence or absence of Perforations. A data sheet was used to collect data including type of Gloves used (Latex or Nitrile) presence of perforations, sites of perforations and nature of minor oral surgical procedures. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive analysis was conducted to calculate frequency and percentages of Number and sites of perforations for both Nitrile and latex examination gloves. Chi Square test was used to find out statistical significance of difference of perforations rate between Nitrile and Latex gloves. P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Out of 200 latex gloves 23 (11.5) had 29 perforations whereas out of total 200 Nitrile gloves 28 (14%) had 22 perforations. Nitrile gloves had a statistically significant higher rate of perforations as compared to Latex gloves. (P value 0.043). For both Nitrile and Latex gloves left non dominant hand had highest frequency of perforations Latex 18 (81.81%) perforations and Nitrile 18(62.06%). Index finger and thumb were most frequent sites of perforations in both Latex and Nitrile gloves. CONCLUSION: Gloves perforations were more common in Nitrile examination gloves however total number of perforations was more in Latex examination gloves.

The Law

The consent process remains a pillar of excellent clinical care. The changes in the law after the Montgomery ruling in 2015 has changed the shape of consent, and now, taking adequate consent can be extensive and sometimes confusing for clinicians and patients. Dentists are sometimes faced with the unenvious task of weighing up what patients should know versus what they want to know. This paper aims to describe the consent process for more common oral surgical procedures, helping clinicians to allow their patients to make informed decisions. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To assist primary and secondary care clinicians in taking adequate consent for oral surgical procedures.

Postoperative Pain Treatment

Background. Because of economic reasons, day surgery rates have steadily increased in many countries and the trend is to perform around 70% of all surgical procedures as day surgery. Literature shows that postoperative pain treatment remains unfulfilled in several fields such as orthopedic and general surgery patients. In Italy, the day surgery program is not yet under governmental authority and is managed regionally by local practices. Aim. To investigate the trends in pain intensity and its relation to type of surgeries and pain therapy protocols, in postoperative patients, discharged from three different Ambulatory Surgeries located in North West Italy (Piedmont region). Method. The present study enrolled 276 patients who undergone different surgical procedures in ambulatory regimen. Patients recorded postoperative pain score twice a day, compliance with prescribed drugs, and pain related reasons for contacting the hospital. Monitoring lasted for 7 days. Results. At discharge, 72% of patients were under weak opioids, 12% interrupted the treatment due to side effects, 17% of patients required extra drugs, and 15% contacted the hospital reporting pain problems. About 50% of patients experienced moderate pain during the first day after surgery. Results from our study show that most of the patients experienced avoidable pain after discharge.
