SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) represents one of the most significant risk factors for acute pyelonephritis in children. Various intravesical and extravesical techniques have been described for the surgical correction of VUR. The aim of our study was to compare the results of open intravesical and extravesical procedures for unilateral primary VUR in children. METHODS Between January 2012 and August 2018, 38 children with primary VUR who underwent open ureteral reimplantation surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The Cohen (intravesical) and the Lich-Gregoir (extravesical) approach were grouped as groups A and B, respectively. The groups were compared for age, gender, preoperative reflux grade, presence of lower urinary tract symptoms, operation time, discomfort and pain, analgesic requirements, duration of hematuria, postoperative complications, and hospital stay. All the parameters were statistically compared. RESULTS There were 38 patients in this study. Group A had 18 patients, and group B had 20 patients. The mean operative time was significantly shorter in group B than in group A. The mean hospital stay was also shorter in group B. The urethral foley stay period was 4.7±0.9 days 2±0 days (p = 0.000*), respectively, for group A and B. Macroscopic hematuria was seen in group A. The objective pain scale was worse after intravesical surgery. Analgesic requirements were higher in group A (p =0.131). CONCLUSION Intravesical and extravesical ureteroneocystostomy methods are equally successful and feasible in the treatment of primary unilateral VUR. The Cohen technique is associated with a longer and more painful hospital stay, gross hematuria, and longer operative time, compared to the Lich-Gregoir technique.

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: A pile suture technique was described originally by the Farag in 1978 was better in terms of post- operative pain, bleeding, hospital stay and early return to work which are the distressing effects of conventional Milligan Morgan  Hemorrhoidectomy which is well accepted surgical procedure for haemorrhoids. This study is designed to compare the pile suture and Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy.Methods: After fulfilling the criteria, 60 patients were randomly allocated to the group A (Pile Suture [PS] n -30) and group B (Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy [MM] n – 30). The techniques were evaluated with respect to the operative time, pain scores, bleeding, hospital stay, return to work, and recurrence.Results: The mean age of patients was 44.33 years and 42.77 years in the pile suture group and MM group respectively. Grade III or IV hemorrhoids were more common in men (i.e., 80% and 60% in the pile suture and MM group, respectively). The mean operative time was shorter in the PS 20.10 minutes versus 51.47 minutes in the MM group (P .001). The bleeding and pain scores were less in the PS. Mean hospital stay was 4 days and 6.6 days  in the PS and MM group, respectively. The patients in the pile suture group returned to their routine activities earlier (i.e., within 7.33 days) as compared with 16.87 days in the MM group.Conclusions: Therefore, pile suture method can be considered as less traumatic for the patients and method can be recommended as a safer alternative to Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy.

Objective: To compare early versus interval tonsillectomy in cases of peritonsillar abscess.Study Design: Comparative study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at ENT Department of Combined Military Hospital, Mardan from January 2017 to January 2018.Materials and Methods: A total 50 patients were selected from ENT outpatient department. All the cases were randomly divided into two groups of 25 each. Group A underwent early tonsillectomy after initial incision and drainage, Group B underwent interval tonsillectomy after 6 weeks. Both the groups were compared in terms of perioperative blood loss, operation time, ease of dissection and postoperative complications including pain and hemorrhage. Tonsillectomy was done with bipolar cautery in all the cases.Results: The mean age was 30.22 + 8.25. Out of 50 patients, 42 (84%) were males and 8 (16%) were females. The mean operative time of surgery in group A (early tonsillectomy) was 45.04+5.78 minutes compared to 32.72+4.37 minutes for group B (interval tonsillectomy (p=0.00). Mean post-operative pain in group A was 3.68+2.12 compared to group B where mean score was 3.36+1.93 (p=0.579). There were 3 cases of mild perioperative blood loss, 19 cases of moderate and 3 of severe perioperative blood loss in group A. There were 18 cases of mild perioperative blood loss, 7 cases of moderate and no case of severe perioperative blood loss in group B (p=0.00). Dissection was found to be significantly easier in group B (interval tonsillectomy). There were 7 cases of post-op secondary hemorrhage in group A compared to 3 in group B (p=0.289). All these cases of secondary hemorrhage were managed conservatively.Conclusion: Interval tonsillectomy is a safer procedure as compared to early tonsillectomy in terms of perioperative blood loss, operative time, dissection with almost similar post-op pain and similar risk of post tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

Background: Laparoscopic appendicetomy remains controversial in Indian perspective. The objective was to compare the clinical outcome of open with laparoscopic appendicectomy.Methods: Prospectively collected data from 150 consecutive patients with acute appendicitis was studied. Patients undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis were alternately assigned into one of the two groups (Group-A patients underwent open appendicectomy and in Group B laparoscopic appendicectomy). The two groups were compared with respect to operative time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain & wound complications.Results: The mean operative time in the open group was 84.40 minutes; for laparoscopic group, 95.20 minutes (p-0.001). Duration of paralytic ileus, tolerance to oral feeds, resumption of daily routine activity and ambulation of patients were started earlier in laparoscopic group than open group. Group A (OA) patients had pain at the mean of 2.66 days as compared group B (LA), in which patients had pain at the mean of 1.66 days.  Study also showed that the hospital stay for laparoscopic group was almost half of that for open group. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was safe as compared to open surgery in context to post-operative complications.Conclusions: Provided surgical experience and equipment are available, Laparoscopic appendicectomy is as safe and efficient than open appendicectomy.

Introductions: Fever and sepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) secondary to urinary tract infection is a major determinant of overall post PCNL complications. This study aims to analyse infective complications after PCNL in relation to pre-operative urine culture status. Methods: A comparative analysis of post PCNL infective complications in pre-operative urine culture positive (Group A) and negative (Group B) was done for one year during June 2017 to May 2018 in department of urology, Bir Hospital, National Academy of Medical Sciences, Kathmandu, Nepal. Demographics, stone characteristics, mean operative time, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative complications as per Modified Clavien classification were compared between the two groups. Results: Out of total 136 PCNL patients, 51 were in Group A and 85 in Group B. Infective complications were significantly high, 28 (54.90%) in group A compared to 20 (23.53%) in group B, p=0.004. The most common isolate was Escherichia coli 19 (37.25%), sensitive to amikacin 37 (72.55%). The mean operation time, transfusion and hospital stay was not statically different in two groups. Morality occurred in 1 (1.96%) in group A. Conclusions: Infective complications were significantly high after PCNL in patients with preoperative positive urine culture, even when it was treated to sterile with sensitive antibiotics, compared to patients with preoperative negative urine culture.

Background. Both percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening by triple hemisection and the traditional open Z-lengthening are effective methods for Achilles tendon contracture. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new therapeutic method, which is based on the percutaneous sliding technique with three hemi-cuts in the tendon, as compared with the traditional open Z-lengthening. Methods. Retrospective analysis of the Achilles tendon contracture cases in our hospital between January 2010 and September 2016 was conducted. Twenty-five cases received percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening (group A), and 30 patients who underwent open Z-lengthening during the same period were in the control group (group B). Operative time and hospital stay were statistically analyzed. Incision complication, equinus recurrence rate and Achilles tendon rupture morbidity were recorded. The function was assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. All cases in group A received Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of ankle preoperatively and in the follow-ups. Results. The mean follow-up period was 42.04 months in group A and 61.7 months in group B. The entire operative time and the mean hospitalization days were lower in group A than in group B. No incision and infection complication occurred in group A. The infection rate in group B was 3.3%. Equinus recurrence rate was 4% in group A and the equinus recurrence rate in group B was 21.4%. In group A, the mean AOFAS score increased from 64 ± 10.16 points preoperatively to 96.08 ± 3.17 at final follow-up, while the score in group B increased from 63.48 ± 6.2 points to 85.4 ± 10.3. MRI showed continuity of the Achilles tendon and homogeneous signal in group A. Conclusion. Modified surgery can significantly reduce the risk of Achilles tendon rupture, provide better balance in soft tissue strength between ankle dorsiflexion and ankle plantarflexion, helping to avoid recurrence of the deformity.

Abstract Purpose A multicentre, retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different surgical techniques for thoracolumbar junction (T12-L1) tuberculosis. Methods The medical records of thoracolumbar junction tuberculosis patients (n = 257) from January 2005 to January 2015 were collected and reviewed. A total of 45 patients were operated on by an anterior approach (Group A), 52 by a combined anterior and posterior approach (Group B) and 160 by a posterior approach (Group C). Anti-tuberculosis therapy was performed both before and after surgery. Clinical outcomes, laboratory indexes and radiological results of the three groups were compared. Results All three surgical approaches achieved bone fusion, pain relief and neurological recovery. The mean loss of correction in group A at last follow-up was higher than in groups B and C (P < 0.05), and the difference between groups B and C was not significant (P > 0.05). The mean operation time and blood loss in group B were greater than in groups A and C. Conclusions For patients with thoracolumbar junction (T12-L1) tuberculosis, the posterior-only approach is superior to the anterior-only approach in the correction of kyphosis and maintenance of spinal stability. The posterior-only approach is recommended because it achieves the same efficacy as the anterior-only or combined approach but with shorter operation times, less trauma and less blood loss.

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: To assess the comparison of harmonic scalpel versus Milligan Morgan technique in patients undergoing haemorrhoidectomy. Methodology: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted at General Hospital, Lahore, from March 2019 to September 2019. Informed consent was obtained from eligible 60 patients. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. In group-A, haemorrhoidectomy was conducted according to the harmonic scalpel method. In group-B, open haemorrhoidectomy was performed by the Milligan Morgan procedure. Data was assembled through a designed questionnaire and investigated via SPSS version 25. Data were stratified for descriptive statistics, level of haemorrhoids and period of haemorrhoids. Post-stratification, independent sample t-test was used. Results: Mean age of both groups patients were 44.6±7.6 and 43.8±8.2 years, respectively. In group-A, mean operative time was 20.8±2.8 minutes, while 26.5±2.8 minutes in group-B, which was statistically significant with p-value of 0.001. In group-A, mean convalescence period was 9.7±2.9 days, while 13.4±3.7 days in group-B, which was statistically significant with p-value of 0.001. The mean convalescence period with harmonic scalpel method was 7.4 days (range 5–14, SD 3.6) versus 18.6 days (range 7–30, SD 5.4) with Milligan Morgan technique (P?0.001). This research observed that harmonic scalpel method required almost six weeks for complete wound healing, whereas in  Milligan Morgan technique, complete wound healing was achieved after three months (P<0.05). Conclusion: Harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy found an advantageous method when assessing the operative time and convalescence period. Hence, Harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy can be adapted as a safe and effective alternative method for treating symptomatic haemorrhoids. Continuous...
