Background: Efforts to improve outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy heralded the advent of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy with respect to time required for surgery, postoperative pain, morbidity and complications.Methods: This comparative randomized study was conducted in M.L.B. Medical College, Jhansi among 124 patients. 74 patients were included in the three port laparoscopic cholecystectomy group and 50 in the single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy group. Informed consent was taken. All patients were operated under general anesthesia. Statistical analysis was using independent t-test and chi- square test.Results: The mean operative time was slightly longer in SILC (group I) as compared to CLC/SLC (group II). Postoperative pain on VAS scale in group I after 6 hours (1st day score) was 2.44 in group I and 2.73 in group II (CLC/SLC). But on 2nd day in SILC 1.40 and in CLC/SLC it was 1.81. In SILC (group I) 4 patients out of 50 (8%) developed seroma and 2 patients out of 50 (4%) developed Biliary peritonitis due to the slipped dip. And in SLC/CLC (group II) 3 patients out of 74 (4.05%) developed seroma.Conclusions: SILC can be an effective alternative to traditional CLC/SLC, with the added benefit of minimized scarring and a shorter length of stay. This technique can be performed safely for patients with a multitude of gallbladder diseases without resulting in additional complications.

Background: Treatment of gall stones have evolved markedly since open cholecystectomy was first described by Lange Buch in 1881. Management has progressed through eras of nonsurgical management, laparotomy, minilaparotomy and now laparoscopic cholecystectomy which is the gold standard for the treatment of gall stone disease today. Laparoscopic surgery is the procedure of choice for most benign gall bladder diseases unless obvious contraindication exists. There has been a trend toward minimizing the required number and size of ports to reduce postoperative pain with better cosmetic results.Methods: Comparative randomized study was conducted in Department of Surgery, SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital between February 2017 to July 2018. 60 patients who fit into the inclusion criteria were included in the study. 30 patients were included in the multiport cholecystectomy and 30 in the SILC. Random allocation of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of gall bladder disease with confirmatory USG study. Group1: single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Group2: multiple port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Results: Majority of presenting patients were in age group 41-50 years. No significant difference in the mean age of patients, surgical complication, conversion rates and SSI operated by the two techniques. Median time required to complete cholecystectomy by SILC technique was not significantly higher than that required for multiport cholecystectomy. Statistically significant lower postoperative pain score was seen in patients with SILC compared to Multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients operated by SILC technique had a postoperative hospital stay of mean 4.04 days, almost same as for patients operated by multiport technique.Conclusions: Difference of Conversion rates and time required for SILC is not significantly higher than that required for multiport cholecystectomy. No rise in intra and post-operative complications occurred in the single port surgery. Postoperative pain is significantly lower in patients undergoing SILC Length of postoperative hospital stay and incidence of SSI for single port cholecystectomy is almost as same as for multiport cholecystectomy.

BACKGROUND Pelvic floor training (PFT) is the gold standard for conservative treatment of male stress urinary incontinence. OBJECTIVE To evaluate patients´ perspective at risk of incontinence on PFT and application of digital technologies for PFT. METHODS Patients undergoing transurethral surgery of the prostate (group I), radical prostatectomy (group II) or treatment at a specialized incontinence outpatient clinic (group III) were surveyed anonymously. Chi-Square test and Kruskal-Wallis-analysis were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS 180 patients were included in the final analysis. In group I (n=35) no patient underwent PFT prior to transurethral surgery. 23.5% of patients in group II (n=51) and 95.7% of patients in group III (n=94) performed PFT. 11.4% in group I, 80.4% in group II and 91.5% in group III have been advised to perform PFT by their urologist. Regarding the information level on PFT, patients from group I (median 1, range 0-5) are less satisfied than patients from group II (median 3, 0-9) or group III (median 5, range 0-10, p<0.001). 88.6% of patients from group I are willing to perform PFT as preventive treatment or to avoid incontinence surgery, 100% from group II and 68.4% from group III (p<0.001). The likelihood to use digital PFT is higher in group I (median: 9, range 0-10) and II (median: 9, range 0-10) than in group III (median: 4, range 0-10, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients at risk of incontinence currently have limited access to PFT, although they are willing to perform PFT. Digital PFT is highly accepted by patients preoperatively and might be a valuable tool to increase PFT participation.

Introduction: Labour pain is among the most severe pain a woman can experience in her lifetime. Painful labour has decrimental effects on both mother and fetus leads to severe physical and psychological stress. Maternal hyperventilation in response to pain reduces fetal oxygenation and hypoventilation between contractions combined with decreased blood ow worsens fetal hypoxemia. It has been suggested that conning women to bed during labour may cause the labour to be longer and more painful with increase in abnormal presentation, instrumental deliveries and fetal distress. Aims And Objectives:The onset, quality and duration of their analgesic action. Incidence of unwanted effects like muscle weakness, hypotension, pruritus, nausea/vomiting, fetal bradycardia by the individual drugs. Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the department of anesthesia, Darbhanga Medical College & Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Methods of collection of data (including sampling procedure if any) : After institutional committee approval and written informed consent from parturients and their relatives for the procedure the study was conducted and data were collected. Results: Duration of analgesia was found varying widely. It was 55±12.34 minutes in Group I whereas 75 ±14.36 minutes in Group II. The incidence of pruritus almost mild or negligible in both groups. The incidence of motor weakness in group II was 24 (80%) whereas in group I it was 10(33%). There was signicant statistics difference in motor weakness between two groups (p< 0.001) by Chi square test 9 with yate's correction. Other side effects differences between two groups were not statistically signicant. Summary And Conclusion:Both the drugs provided excellent quality of analgesia to the parturient in pain. The difference in duration of analgesia was signicant between the two groups statistically. Mean duration of analgesia lasted for 55 minutes in group I whereas in group II, it lasted for 75 minutes. Main side effects encountered in this study were motor weakness of longer duration in group II than in group I. Other side effects like nausea-vomiting were comparable to each other and were minimal in nature.

Study Design: Randomized controlled study Setting: Department of Anesthesia/ ICU, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore Duration of study: Six months i.e. 25-09-2009 to 25-03-2010. Methodology: 120 patients undergoing elective general surgery on abdomen were selected. They were divided into two groups. Group I received dexamethasone 8mg (2ml) I/V pre-operatively and group II received 2ml normal saline I/V pre-operatively. Chi square test was used. Visual analogue (VAS) scale was used for recording sore throat. The VAS score ≤4 was considered as no sore throat and VAS scores>4 were considered as the sore throat. Results: Frequency of post-operative sore throat after the first 24 hours following GA and endotracheal intubation was lower in group (I) as compared to the control group (II). Eleven (20%) patients with dexamethasone had post-operative sore throat compared to thirty one (56.3%) patients in control group. (p<0.01). Conclusion: Pre-operative use of dexamethasone was associated with decreased incidence of post-operative sore throat.

INTRODUCTION Postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has three components: parietal, visceral and referred pain felt at the shoulder. Visceral peritoneal injury on the liver (Glisson’s capsule) during cauterisation sometimes occurs as an unavoidable complication of the operation. Its effect on postoperative pain has not been quantified. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between Glisson’s capsule injury and postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS The study was a prospective case–control of planned standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standardized anaesthesia protocol in patients with benign gallbladder disease. Visual analogue scale (VAS) abdominal pain scores were noted at 2 and 24 hours after the operation. One surgical team performed the operations. Operative videos were recorded and examined later by another team to detect presence of Glisson’s capsule cauterisation. Eighty-one patients were enrolled into the study. After examination of the operative videos, 46 patients with visceral peritoneal injury were included in the study group, and the remaining 35 formed the control group. RESULTS VAS pain score at postoperative 2 and 24 hours was significantly higher in the study group than control (P = 0.027 and 0.017, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Glisson’s capsule cauterisation in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with increased postoperative pain. Additional efforts are recommended to prevent unintentional cauterisation.

Background: It is well-known since long time the beneficial effects of misoprostol particularly as a cervical softening agent in obstetric practice. Keep in view, study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of vaginal misoprostol 400 mcg before endometrial biopsy in premenopausal women.Methods: All the 200 patients were classified into two groups viz. study group (Group I) with 100 patients and control group (Group II) with 100 patients. To Group I patients, 400 mcg of misoprostol was given vaginally, 4 hours prior to the commencement of endometrial biopsy whereas no medication was received by Group II patients.Results: In the present study, the base line cervical dilatation is found to be 5.8±1.3 mm in Group I patients whereas 3.8±0.92 mm in Group II patients which is significantly higher (p<0.05). Only 32 patients in Group I required further dilatation whereas 88 patients in Group II underwent further dilatation. The mean time required for further dilatation in Group I and Group II patients was 42.6±17.4, 64.6±16.8 sec respectively and was significantly higher in Group II patients (p<0.05). Out of 100 patients in Group I, only 2% of patients complained severe pain whereas in Group II 48% of patients experienced intolerable pain and required anesthesia.Conclusions: Vaginal administration of 400 mcg misoprostol 4 hours prior to endometrial biopsy in premenopausal women had a significant effect on cervical resistance and cervical dilatation.

Background Promotion of healing of the anal wound after fistulotomy may help accelerate recovery and return to work. The present study aimed to assess the effect of marsupialisation of the edges of the laid open fistula track on wound healing after anal fistulotomy for simple anal fistula. Methods This was a prospective randomised trial on patients with simple anal fistula. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups; group I underwent anal fistulotomy and group II underwent anal fistulotomy and marsupialisation of the edges of the laid open track. Outcomes of the study were time to achieve complete wound healing, operation time, postoperative pain and complications. Results Sixty patients of mean age of 40.8 years with simple anal fistula were randomly divided into two equal groups. No significant differences between the two groups regarding operation time (16.8 vs 18.4 minutes; P = 0.054), postoperative pain score (1.6 vs 1.2; P = 0.22), and complication rates were recorded. Group II achieved complete healing in a significantly shorter duration than group I (5.1 vs 6.7 weeks; P < 0.0001). Conclusion Marsupialisation of the edges of the laid open fistula track after fistulotomy resulted in quicker wound healing with similar complication and recurrence rates to lay open fistulotomy alone.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Plastic surgery in India is in an era of transition. The speciality faces many challenges as it grows. The present study attempts to identify these challenges and the prevalent mood among the teachers and the trainees. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted from September 2011 to June 2012. In an E-mail based survey a questionnaire was mailed to professionals actively involved in teaching and training of residents in plastic surgery in many institutes running MCh courses in plastic surgery (Group I) [Appendix 1]. Another questionnaire was mailed to residents undergoing training in plastic surgery and those who had completed their training within past 2 years (Group II) [Appendix 2]. Chi-square test was applied to test for statistical significance. Observations: 29 Group I and 33 Group II subjects responded to the questionnaire. While 72.4% teachers believed that the current system is producing plastic surgeons with enough skill level, only 9.1% of the respondents in Group II thought the same (Chi-square = 28.1; df = 2; P < 0.001). Whereas 58.6% Group I respondents thought that their student is sufficiently equipped to compete in today’s scenario [Figure 1], only 18.2% Group II respondents thought that their training is enough [Figure 2]. (Chi-square = 16.4; df = 2; P < 0.001). Nearly 28% respondents in Group I and only 3% in Group II thought that scientific research and publications should be made mandatory for successful completion of plastic surgery training (Chi-square = 9.4; df = 2; P = 0.009). Adequate exposure was thought to be available in general plastic surgery (Group I: 92% Group II: 81%), maxillofacial surgery (Group I: 72% Group II: 68%) and hand surgery (Group I: 84% Group II: 69%). Both groups agreed that exposure is lacking in craniofacial surgery, aesthetic surgery and microvascular surgery. Aesthetic surgery (38.7%) and microvascular surgery (32.6%) were the most frequent response when the Group II respondents were enquired about the subspeciality they would like to focus on in their practice. Inter-departmental exchange of students for limited period of time was favoured by 86.2% of Group I respondents and 93.9% Group II respondents (Chi-square = 1.3; df = 2; P = 0.49). Conclusion: The current training programme is differently perceived by teachers and the trainees. We recommend that constant deliberations at national and regional forums should take place regarding our education and training programmes.
