Background: Haemorrhoids are the most common benign anorectal problems worldwide. Treatments of third and fourth degree hemorrhoids include surgical haemorrhoidectomy. Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy (MMH) as described in 1937 has remained the most popular among many techniques proposed. In order to avoid the postoperative drawbacks of Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy, a new surgical treatment for prolapsing haemorrhoids has been described by Longo in 1995, procedure called stapled haemorrhoidopexy which is associated with less postoperative pain and a quicker recovery. The objective of this study was to compare the short-term outcome between stapled hemorrhoidopexy and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.Methods: Prospective randomized study of 120 patients with grade 3 and grade 4 haemorrhoids requiring surgical treatment either MMH or SH, 60 in each group for the period of 18 months from June 2014 to November 2015. Post-operative pain, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stays, post-operative complications and time taken to return to work were compared with mean follow up period of 6 months.Results: Duration of surgery is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, duration of hospital stay is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, post-operative pain low in staple group with P <0.05, time taken to return to work is significantly early in stapled group with P <0.001. Post-operative complications incontinence not found in the present study but recurrence of two cases in each group noted.Conclusion: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is associated with less postoperative pain, shorter duration of surgery and hospital stay, earlier return to work as compared with Milligan-Morgan open hemorrhoidectomy. The procedure is not associated with major post-operative complications.

Background: Hemorrhoids are usually managed by surgical hemorrhoidectomy which is associated with postoperative pain, long hospital stay and a longer convalescence. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a newer alternative for the treatment of hemorrhoids. In this study, the two methods were compared for short term outcomes.Methods: Hundred patients having grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids and who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study from June 2012 to May 2014. Fifty patients underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy and other fifty underwent open hemorrhoidectomy. All patients were reviewed immediately after surgery and at 1, 3, 6 weeks and 6 months post-operatively. The two groups were compared for duration of surgery, hospital stay, return to work and post-operative complications.Results: The mean (S.D.) age was 40.06 (10.33) in our study. The majority of patients in the study were males and had grade 4 haemorrhoids. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy group had shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter duration of hospital stay and earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with open hemorrhoidectomy group. There were no major post-operative complications, recurrence, residual prolapse or incontinence in the follow up period of six months in the stapled group.Conclusions: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a safer alternative to open hemorrhoidectomy with many short-term benefits.

Background: Surgical hemorrhoidectomy is usual method for management in hemorrhoid grade III and IV. It is generally associated with postoperative pain, long hospital stay and a longer convalescence. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a newer minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of hemorrhoids. Aims: In this study, the above two methods were compared with respect to short term outcomes. Settings and Design: This was a prospective and randomized study. Methods: 60 patients having grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids and who fullled the criteria were included in the study. Thirty patients underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy and other thirty underwent open hemorrhoidectomy. All patients were reviewed immediately after surgery and at 1, 3 and6 weeks post-operatively. The two groups were compared in terms of duration of surgery, hospital stay, return to work and post-operative level of satisfaction . Statistical Analysis: The statistical analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 15.0 statistical Analysis Software. Signicance was assessed at 5% level of signicance. Student t-test was used to nd the signicance of study parameters on continuous scale in parametric condition between two groups (inter group analysis) and Mann Whitney U test was used to nd the signicance of study parameters on continuous scale in non-parametric condition within each group. Chi-square/ Fisher Exact test were used to nd the signicance of study parameters on categorical scale between two groups. Results: The overall mean age of patients in our study was 41.35 ± 12.80. The majority of patients in the study were males (78.3%) and had grade 3 haemorrhoids (93.3%). Stapled hemorrhoidopexy group had shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter duration of hospital stay and earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with open hemorrhoidectomy group. Conclusions: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a minimally invasive, better and safer alternative to open hemorrhoidectomy with many short-term benets.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of sacrohystcopxy by determining intraoperative and post-operative complications and its effectiveness by pelvic organ prolapse recurrence on follow up. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit-II DHQ Hospital PMC, Faisalabad. Period: Jan-2014 to Jan-2017. Material & Methods: Patients with uterovaginal prolapse, admitted through OPD were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. Variables of study including duration of surgery, any intra-operative and post operative complications, need of intra operative blood transfusion, post operative hospital stay; recurrence of POP, number of pregnancies in 06 moths follow up were recorded. Results: During this study period, 319 patients were admitted with uterovaginal prolapse. 32 (10.03%) cases were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. In these 32 patients, 03 (9.37%) were <30years of age, 21(65.62%) were between 30-35 years and 8 (25%) were between 35-40 years of age. About 2(6.25%) were unmarried, while 30(93.7%) were married. In these married women 14(43.75%) were multiparas, another 14(43.75%) were para 1 or 2, while 4(12.5%) were para 3 or more. Duration of surgery was 40-45 minutes in 31(96.87%) patients. In 28(87.5%) cases per operative blood loss was <150ml while in 4(12.5%) it was estimated to be >150ml but less than 300ml. Post operatively only 1(3.12%) case developed wound sepsis and it was the only one (3.12%) who was discharged on 7th post operative day, while rest 31(96.87%) were discharged on 3rd post operative day. No recurrence was noticed in 06 moths follow up, while 2(6.25%) patients became pregnant. Conclusion: Abdominal sacrohysteropexy is a safe and an effective treatment in terms of overall anatomical and functional outcome, complications, post operative recovery, length of hospital stay and sexual functioning, in women who desire uterine and hence fertility preservation.

Background: Ideal method for modern hernia surgery should be simple, cost effective, safe, tension free and permanent. The Lichtenstein operation to a great extent achieves this entire goal. The Lichtenstein mesh repair is associated with complications, postoperative dysfunction and high cost composite meshes. Desarda's technique, became a new surgical option for tissue-based inguinal hernia repair. The present study was designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and complications of the Desarda’s repair with Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair for treatment of inguinal hernia in a developing country.Methods: 200 patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia were selected. Included patients were randomly divided into two groups. Studied parameters were Duration of surgery, intra operative complications, post-operative Pain, Duration of hospital stay, return to normal activities, post-operative complications and recurrences.Results: There were a total of 100 patients each group. There was no statistically significant difference in duration of surgery and complication rate between the two groups. Difference in mean VAS was not statistically significant. The mean hospital stay in Desarda’s technique was 2.5 days while it was 2.6 days in Lichtenstein’s group. The mean time to return to basic physical activity in the Desarda’s technique was 12.6 days while it was 13.3 days in the Lichtenstein’s group. There were no recurrences in either group. Chronic inguinal pain (>1month) was more frequent in Lichtenstein’s group.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in duration of surgery, intra operative complication rate, post-operative pain, complications and recurrence, between Desarda’s technique and Lichtenstein’s technique. However chronic inguinal pain is less in Desarda’s technique. Desarda’s repair must be considered in young patients (<30 years). Its long-term efficacy needs to be studied with larger, prospective double-blind randomized trials, with longer follow-up.

Background: Inguinal hernia is a common problem and its repair is one of the most commonly performed procedures in general surgical practice. Several methods have been developed including Lichtenstein’s repair. Among these Lichtenstein’s repair has been standard technique for last few decades. In recent time a new procedure “no mesh Desarda hernia repair” has emerged as a recognized operative method for inguinal hernia repair. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of Desarda technique in repairing inguinal hernia. Methods: This was a single centered descriptive study to see the outcome of inguinal hernia repair by Desarda technique in both elective and emergency surgery carried out in the Dept. of Surgery, Sher-E-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barisal from August, 2015 to July, 2016. Results: A total of 100 patients underwent Desarda repair for inguinal hernia including primary/recurrent and elective/ emergency cases. Variables includes age, type of surgery, operating time, post-operative complications, post-operative pain, post-operative hospital stay, cost of the procedure, chronic groin pain and any early recurrence. Mean age of patient was 48.9±9.07 years. Mean operating time was 43.72±9.64mins. Majority (54%) of the patient experienced mild post-operative pain on first day, measured in VAS score. Ten percent of patients developed different post-operative complications like wound infection (2%), seroma formation (1%) and scrotaledema (7%). Conclusion: In this study, it is revealed that no mesh Desarda repair for inguinal hernia was associated with less operating time, less post-operative pain, less post-operative complications, short hospital stay, zero recurrence rate, no chronic groin pain and performed in emergency cases also. So, it is safe and most reliable technique for all type of inguinal hernia surgery.

The aim of the researce was the improvement of treatment results of patients with extended post-burn esophageal cicatricial strictures. Materials and methods: The treatment results are presented for 102 patients which were divided into two groups. In 49 patients with extended post-burn esophageal cicatricial strictures of the main group modified esophagoplasty were performed. Traditional esophagoplasty in 53 patients of the comparison group was performed. Results: A trend was observed on reduction in both short-term and long-term post-operative complications and lethality. The comparative analysis showed statistically valid reduction in number of complications caused by radical surgery: in the main group the frequency of short-term post-operative complications was 10,2 %, in the comparison group – 45,3 %, the frequency of long-term post-operative complications being in the main group 8,2 %, and in the comparison group 26,4%. A trend was observed on reduction of both local and general complications, which may be explained by both peculiarities of the operative interventions with application of improved surgical treatment methods and by more efficient pre-operation preparation of the patients. Post-operative lethality level was 2,0 % in the main group, and 3,8% in the comparison group. Life quality parameters in the main group patients in the long-term post-operation period were statistically significantly better. Conclusions: In patients with extended post-burn esophageal cicatricial stricture application of the proposed surgical tactics, modified method of single-step esophagoplasty and esophagoplasty as Step II of the surgical treatment for persons who have a formed contact gastrostomy is an efficient means for patients’ treatment improvement.

Abstract Background Pre-operative anaemia is associated with increased length of hospital stay, requirement for allogenic blood transfusion, post-operative complications and mortality. Oesophagectomy is a complex procedure associated with significant physiological insult, thus pre-operative patient optimisation is imperative to improve clinical outcomes. This study aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative anaemia on short-term outcomes following oesophagectomy for benign and malignant disease.  Methods A retrospective cohort study of all oesophagectomies performed in a single tertiary referral centre between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019 was performed. Patients were identified from a prospectively collected database and individual patient electronic records were interrogated. Patients were dichotomised into two groups, based on the most recent pre-operative haemoglobin. Patients with pre-operative anaemia (haemoglobin &lt;130mg/L in males and &lt;120mg/L in females) were compared to those without pre-operative anaemia. Patients with missing data were excluded from the study. Patients were followed up for a median of 32 months (IQR 18-66). Results Of 352 patients eligible for inclusion, 173 (49.1%) patients were anaemic immediately pre-operatively. Patients with pre-operative anaemia were older (66 vs. 64 years, p = 0.031), with a lower anaerobic threshold (11.7 vs. 12.3ml/min/kg, p = 0.011), and were significantly more likely to have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy (91.3% vs. 78.8%, p &lt; 0.001). Patient comorbidities and disease-related characteristics were similar between the two groups. Patients with pre-operative anaemia were significantly more likely to require post-operative blood transfusion (34.7% vs. 16.8%; p &lt; 0.001). However, pre-operative anaemia was not associated with increased post-operative complications, intensive care admission, length of hospital stay, or 30- and 90-day mortality rates following oesophagectomy. Conclusions Patients with anaemia immediately prior to undergoing an oesophagectomy were significantly more likely to require post-operative blood transfusion. However, pre-operative anaemia was not associated with an increased rate of post-operative morbidity or mortality. In addition, pre-operative iron transfusion is becoming increasingly utilised to minimise the incidence of pre-operative anaemia: this was not analysed in this study.

Background: Hemorrhoids being a common anorectal problem with its well known morbidity and complications is treated since long by conservative measures, injection sclerotherapy or rubber banding for 1st and 2nd degree and by open Miligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy or closed Fergusson hemorrhoidectomy for 3rd and 4th degree. However, since 1998, the adoption of Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy has proved over time to be a better alternative in terms of lesser postoperative complication and an overall patient satisfaction.Methods: A prospective study conducted on 114 patients at Department of General Surgery, Kalinga institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha from May 2014 to December 2016.Results: Our study showed stapled hemorrhoidopexy, significantly reduced the time taken for the operative procedure (p <0.001), post operative pain (p <0.01), hospital stay along with early return to work and a better patient satisfaction.Conclusions: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is an effective alternative to open Miligan-Morgan procedure in treating 3rd and 4th degree hemorrhoids, in terms of lesser time taken for the operative procedure, post operative pain, use of analgesics, hospital stay and early return to work, better post operative patient’s satisfaction and reduced procedure related complication.
