Background: Vaginal route of hysterectomy has distinct health and economic benefits in terms of less morbidity, better postoperative quality of life outcomes, reduced hospital stay and better patient satisfaction. Objectives of current study were to evaluate the appropriate route of hysterectomy (abdominal or vaginal) in terms of intra and post-operative complication, morbidity and blood loss. Methods: This prospective study was done among 100 cases of hysterectomy of which 50 patients underwent NDVH and 50 underwent abdominal hysterectomy. This study included all emergency and booked patients having Size of uterus less than 12 weeks size, adequate uterine mobility, adequate access, adenomyosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, chronic PID & fibroid uterus.Results: Study found statistically significantly higher number of the participants with parity 3 & 4 in both the study groups. Bulky uterus followed by 12 and 10 weeks uterus in statistically significantly higher number of the participants of both the study groups. Duration of surgery statistically significantly less in NDVH group compare to TAH group. Fibroid was the main indication of hysterectomy in both the groups. Hemorrhage was the main intra-operative complication in both the groups. Fever & respiratory tract infection was the main post-operative complications in both the groups.Conclusions: Benefits of NDVH over TAH are Cosmetic advantage as less invasive, No discomfort of abdominal incision, shorter operative time, lesser blood loss, lesser intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative comfort is more, lesser requirement of postoperative analgesia, early ambulation and shorter hospital stay.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the commonest gynaecological operations performed in India. Traditional surgical treatments performed are abdominal hysterectomy and vaginal hysterectomy. Vaginal and laparoscopic procedures are considered “minimally invasive” surgical approaches because they do not require a large abdominal incision and, thus, typically are associated with shortened hospitalization and postoperative recovery times compared with open abdominal hysterectomy. With the aid of laparoscopic procedure, a potential abdominal hysterectomy can be converted to a vaginal one and a difficult vaginal hysterectomy can be converted into a fairly simple vaginal hysterectomy. Aim of the present study is to compare above methods of hysterectomy in terms of operating time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay and complication, so as to provide best course of treatment to patient.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in tertiary care centre. Four-year data was collected from January 2012 to December 2016. Cases of LAVH with benign gynaecological condition and up to 12 weeks size uterus, without any associated medical condition were selected in study randomly, and compare with cases of NDVH, TAH in terms of duration of operative procedure, blood loss during surgery, and postoperative hospital stay.Results: In present study we found that average duration of procedure in LAVH was 84.35 minute, which was maximum compare to other method. Estimated blood loss in LAVH was least as compare to NDVH and TAH it was maximum. The average hospital stays in LAVH and NDVH was less as compared to TAH.Conclusions: LAVH should be considered a better approach in view of the relatively less blood loss and intraoperative complication. Due to lack of large randomized controlled trials, the role of Laparoscopic hysterectomy is difficult to define.

Background: It is important to examine every step in any surgery to identify and evaluate its imortance, necessity and purpose with a view to find its better alternatives if they can be found at all. The most appropriate surgical procedure is the one which takes minimum time to be complete, simplest to perform, causing least damage and least complication for the patient. Present study was undertaken to assess the benefits of the Misgav Ladach cesarean section technique in comparison to the conventional Pfannenstiel technique in the tertiary care hospital and evaluate the operative parameters like efficacy, safety, duration of surgery, blood loss, need for suture material, post-operative pain and post-operative stay in hospital.Methods: All the women posted for emergency cesarean section in the Obstetrics OT at Sir T Hospital, Bhavnagar, Gujarat were included in this study. Some of the common indications at our hospital for cesarean section were fetal distress, cephalopelvic disproportion, failure of progress of labour, breech presentation, previous cesarean section and failed induction. Informed consent was taken. All the patients were randomly allocated to two groups with 50 women in each group. Group 1 Pfannenstiel incision and Group 2 Misgav Ladach.Results: The duration of surgery, blood loss and post-operative pain were significantly less in the Misgav Ladach group (P<0.001).Conclusions: Misgav Ladach technique of cesarean section has many advantages and should be used routinely.

Background: In the present scenario of importance non-invasive surgery, there is increase in interest and requirement of vaginal hysterectomy for non-prolapsed uterus, i.e. non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) due to its scarless surgery. it has much more advantages than that of abdominal hysterectomy in term of cosmesis, lesser duration of surgery, lesser intraoperative complication, lesser post-operative morbidity and early resumption to work. The aim of the present study is to asses and compare various factors like duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complication postoperative morbidities, pain perception on 3rd post-operative day, post-operative ambulation, duration of hospital stay, time taken to resume normal work, follow up complains and afterall to decide the appropriate route of hysterectomy for benign conditions.Methods: Hundreds of patients were selected as per the criteria. They were divided into two groups NDVH (non-descent vaginal hysterectomy) and TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) according to the inclusion criteria. Above mentioned factors are compared between the two groups.Results: Duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, post-operative morbidities and complications, duration of hospital stay, time required to resume normal work are less in NDVH group.Conclusions: Non-descent vaginal hysterectomy is a better alternative to abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Background: RIRS has become an important treatment option for kidney stones in pediatric patients with the development of new-generation ureteroscopy and holmium laser. The present study was conducted to assess cases of retrograde intrarenal surgery. Subjects and Methods: The present study was conducted in a tertiary care centre over a period of one year on 120 cases of retrograde intra renal surgery (RIRS) performed in both genders. Renal stone location and stone clearance, laterality, stone size, operative time, hematuria, postoperative pain & fever, urosepsis, hospital stay, residual stones and need of an adjunctive procedure to achieve residual stone clearance. Results: Out of 120 patients, males were 70 and females were 50. Stones were detected in upper calyx in 50 cases, middle calyx in 40, lower calyx in 20 and pelvis in 10 cases. The mean size of stones was 8.1 mm, operative time was 62.1 minutes, hospital stay was 3.6 days, clinically insignificant radiological fragments were seen in 35 cases and residual stones were seen in 20 cases. Maximum cases of CIRF were seen in middle calyx (15) and residual stones were seen in lower calyx (7). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complications were fever in 7, hematuria in 3, flank pain in 4 and urosepsis in 2 cases. Conclusion: Authors found that retrograde intrarenal surgery is a technically safe and effective procedure for the treatment of renal stones.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The successful treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in elderly patients is a challenge. Due to complications associated with internal fixation, primary hemiarthroplasty is increasingly becoming an alternative treatment to achieve early mobilisation. A transtrochanteric approach could potentially decrease the complications associated with primary hemiarthroplasty. Aim of the study is to document the postoperative outcome and complications associated with this treatment.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this retrospective study, all elderly patients with unstable trochanteric fractures, treated by primary hemiarthroplasty through a transtrochanteric approach, in a tertiary care centre, from September 2017 to December 2019, were enrolled. Their data from hospital records were analysed and results compared to literature.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> 48 patients underwent the procedure. Average age was 85 years. One year mortality was 31.25%. Average duration of surgery is 85 min. 58.3% were ambulant at one year. One case of dislocation secondary to surgical site infection was present.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Primary hemiarthroplasty as a primary treatment in this group of patients enables early mobilization and prevents complications associated with prolonged immobilization. Transtrochanteric approach reduces the duration of surgery. Achieving early ambulation is the key to successful treatment.</p>

Background: Various studies have shown the effects of morbid obesity on the adverse consequences of various surgeries, especially postoperative infections. However, some studies have shown that the complications of spinal surgery in obese and non-obese patients are not significantly different. Objectives: This study investigated and compared the duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and complications after common spinal surgeries by orthopedic spine fellowship in obese and non-obese patients in a specialized spine center in Iran. Methods: All patients who underwent decompression with or without lumbar fusion were included in this retrospective study. These patients were classified into two groups: non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). The data related to type and levels of surgery, 30-day hospital complications, length of hospital stay, rate of postoperative wound infection, blood loss, and need for transfusion were all extracted and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 148 patients (74%) were in the non-obese group and 52 patients (26%) in the obese group. The number of patients that need packed cells was significantly higher in the obese group (51.8% vs 32.6%) (P=0.01). Otherwise, there were not a significant difference between type of treatment (fusion or only decompression) (P=0.78), interbody fusion (P=0.26), osteotomy (P=0.56), duration of surgery (P=0.25), length of hospital stay (P=0.72), mean amount of blood loss (P=0.09), and postoperative complications (P=0.68) between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest that duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications are not associated with the BMI of the patients.

Background: Non Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) is removal of uterus through vagina in non-prolapsed uterus. The objective of the present study was to assess safety and feasibility of NDVH in patients with large uterus (>12 weeks size uterus).Methods: Retrospective study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, India from May2014 to May 2017. Effort was made to perform hysterectomies vaginally in women with benign conditions with large uterine size. Information regarding age, parity, uterine size, blood loss, duration of operation, number of fibroids, other surgical difficulties encountered, intra–operative and post-operative complications were recorded.Results: Total of 65 cases was selected for NDVH with large uterine size. All successfully underwent NDVH. 25 patients had uterus of 10-12 weeks size, 17 had uterine size of 12-14 weeks size. Mean duration of surgery was 90 min. Mean blood loss was 300ml. Post-operative complications were minimal. All patients had early mobility with faster resumption to daily activities. Mean hospital stay was 4-5 days.Conclusions: Non descent vaginal hysterectomy is safe, cost effective method of hysterectomy in women with large uterus requiring hysterectomy for benign conditions with less complications, shorter hospital stay and less morbidity.

Aims: To evaluate the rational approach of non-descent vaginal hysterectomy in advancing gynaecology practice.Study Design: Retrospective study and period from 1st July 2013 to 31st June 2014. Setting Kumudini Women's Medical College & Hospital, Mirzapur, Tangail.Patients: All selective patients requiring hysterectomy for benign gynecological disorders who did not have any uterine prolapse were recruited for this study. In bigger size uterus morcellation techniques like bisection, debulking, myomectomy, slicing, or combination of these were used to remove the uterus.Main outcome measures: Data regarding indication, age, parity, uterine size, estimated blood loss, length of operation, complication and hospital stay were recorded.Results: A total of 50 cases were selected for non-descent vaginal hysterectomy all of them successfully underwent non-descent vaginal hysterectomy. Commonest age group was (41-45 years) i.e. 46%. All patients were parous. Uterus size was less then 8 wks 21 cases, 8wks to 12 wks in 27 cases, more then 12 wks 02 cases. Commonest indication was DUB of uterus (44%). Mean duration of surgery was 50.5 minutes. Mean blood loss was 100ml. Blood transfusion was required in four cases. Average duration of hospital stay was 3.1 days. Complications were minimal which included UTI and Vault infection.Conclusions: NDVH is safe feasible and patient friendly. We suggest that our modern gynecologist will be more expertise and familiar to this procedure in near future.KYAMC Journal Vol. 6, No.-2, Jan 2016, Page 637-641

Background: Hysterectomy is a common surgery performed by gynecologist worldwide. It can be done either by vaginal, abdominal or laparoscopic route. Non decent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) is less invasive, less time consuming and scar less surgery. The blood loss during surgery, intra-operative and post-operative complications are less in NDVH compare to TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy). Aim and objective: to compare the clinical outcome between NDVH and TAH. Method: A hospital based prospective study was done at Nepalgunj medical collage Kolhapur between March 2018–March 2019, 60 cases fulfilling selection criteria were selected, 30 cases underwent NDVH next 30 cases underwent TAH. Outcome is measured on the basis of operating time, blood loss during surgery, hospital stay and post-operative complications. Result: The most common indication for hysterectomy was fibroid uterus in both the groups (NDVH and TAH). The operating time, blood loss, hospital stay and post-operative complications were less in NDVH as compare to TAH. Conclusion: NDVH is a choice of surgery over TAH for freely mobile uterus with benign pathology and uterus size less than twelve weeks and without adenexal pathology.
