Background: The Desarda repair for inguinal hernias is a new tissue-based technique. Application of the external oblique muscle aponeurosis in the form of un-detached strip has been established as a new concept in tissue-based hernia repair.Methods: A prospective study was conducted among 126 cases with 148 inguinal hernias repaired by Desarda’s technique for a period of 3 years in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The details pertaining to duration of hospital stay, pain, ambulation and complications were recorded.Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.4 years. Mean operating time was 62.5 min for unilateral and 123 min for bilateral hernias. About 97.8% patients were ambulatory within 6.42 hours and were freely mobile within 19.26 hours after surgery. About 96.4% patients returned to work within 6-14 days. About 91.26% patients were discharged on same day. The mean hospital stay duration of the patients was 1.11 days. Postoperative pain on movement out of bed was described as mild and tolerable in 92.6% patients on day 1. Two patients had seroma that subsided on its own. There were no long-term complications, recurrence of the hernias or chronic groin pain.Conclusions: The results of this new technique (Desarda repair) using continuous absorbable sutures appear promising. The continuous suturing saves time and just one packet of suture material without mesh saves cost.

Objective. This is a prospective study of 50 cases of inguinal hernias which were treated through open inguinal hernia repair techniques. The study was conducted with the objective of comparing the effectiveness of these procedures and complications. Materials and Methods. A number of 50 cases of inguinal hernias admitted to Dr. BR Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All the patients with direct and indirect uncomplicated hernias treated by means of an open approach were included. After the preoperative preparation, they were randomly chosen either for Desarda’s or Modified Bassini’s repair techniques. Results. In the postoperative period, moderate pain was experienced by 19 patients included in the Desarda group and 17 patients included in the Modified Bassini’s repair group on day 1. The postoperative wound infection developed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, erythema was observed in 2 cases of Desarda and 3 cases of Modified Bassini’s, 3 cases reported the occurrence of seroma in the Desarda group and 4 cases of seroma were recorded in the Modified Bassini’s group. Conclusions. The patients who underwent Desarda repair complained of a higher intensity of pain, which could probably be attributed to the extensive dissection involved. The duration of Desarda repair was longer due to the learning curve of the surgeons in our hospital. The return to normal gait and normal activities was significantly lower in the Desarda group. The duration of hospital stays and the postoperative complications was not significantly different in the two groups. There were no recurrences in either of the groups until the current study.

Background: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is being performed in increasing numbers since 1995. Now laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has been accepted as good alternate to open procedure as seen in various other abdominal surgeries. This was the basis of the present study. So, the present study was designed to analyse and compare the outcome of Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and Open donor nephrectomies.Methods: The prospective and observational study was conducted at Stanley Medical College in Department of Urology in 61 Patients aged between 25-50 years who underwent left donor nephrectomy The Mean operating time, warm ischemic time, blood loss, analgesic requirement and duration of hospital stay were recorded and analysed statistically.Results: Out of 61 donor nephrectomies, 16 kidneys harvested by laparoscopic method with only 2 (12%) conversion to open due bleeding. Mean operating time was 179.9±47.6 minutes. Present study showed mean blood loss of (163±93 ml). Analgesic requirement of the LDN (mean 1.25 days) was significantly lower when compared to open group (mean 3.75 days). The present study shows duration of hospital stay was lower in LDN (mean 5.1days).Conclusions: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is an effective, safe and rewarding though it is time consuming and technically challenging. The analgesic requirement, duration of hospital stay and the blood loss were less with the laparoscopic surgery. Results of graft functioning of kidneys in both procedures were equivalent. So laparoscopic donor nephrectomy can be made as the procedure of choice in future.

Background: The discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses is important in deciding clinical management and optimal surgical planning. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of risk of malignancy index (RMI) to identify cases with high potential of ovarian malignancy at a tertiary hospital.Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of two years from September 2017 to August 2019 at obstetrics and gynecology department of M. K. C. G. Medical College and Hospital, Berhampur. A total case of 130 patients with adnexal masses who underwent surgical treatment were included as histopathological report was taken as gold standard to calculate accuracy of RMI.Results: Of the total masses, 85 (65.4%) were benign and 45 (34.6%) were malignant. The mean age of patients was 41.03±14 years. The best cut off value for the RMI-3 was 225 with highest area under the ROC curve 87%, sensitivity of 75.55%, specificity of 98.82%, PPV of 97.14%, NPV of 88.42% and an accuracy of 90.76%.Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that RMI was a reliable method in detecting malignant ovarian tumors. The RMI is a simple and practically applicable tool in preoperative discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses in non-specialized gynecologic departments, particularly in developing countries.

Background: Idiopathic varicocele is common condition encountered in surgical practice requiring surgical correction. Open surgical technique had been in use for long but laparoscopic varicocelectomy is another choice for its management.Methods: This is a prospective study on 100 patients. 70 patients were subjected to laparoscopic and 30 to open inguinal varicocelectomy.Results: Majority of patients were between 16 to 25 years of age. 55% were asymptomatic and 10% had infertility. Grade II varicocele was observed in 50% patients. All patients had left side involvement with bilateral varicocele in 2% patients. Mean operating was 13.8 min in unilateral and 17.3 min in bilateral laparoscopic varicocelectomy whereas it was 27.55 min in unilateral and 49.7 min in bilateral open varicocelectomy. 5.7% and 6.6% had secondary hydrocele and hospital stay was 1.25 and 3.4 days in laparoscopic and open group respectively.Conclusions: Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is safe, effective procedure with less post-operative pain and analgesic requirement. It also has shorter operating time and post-operative hospital stay. Procedures like opposite varicocele, herniotomy, adhesiolysis or orchiopexy can also be done.

  Introduction: Renal stone disease is a challenging problem in urologic practice especially in our locality because of large stone burden and recurrence. Since ,the early 1980s when percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was established for management of renal stones, open surgical procedures have virtually been replaced. PCNL is a safe, effective and minimally invasive approach compared to open surgery for patients with large single, multiple or staghorn stones. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate and to review our experience with PCNL in management of renal and upper ureteric stones.   Methods: Prospective study carried out at Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital during 1stJanuary 2011 to 31st October 2011. Sixty patients were evaluated and subjected to PCNL. After clinical investigations like ultrasonography (USG) and intravenous urography (IVU), once patients were found to have renal or upper ureteric stones they were informed and explained about PCNL, its likely complications, probable hospital stay, the cost of treatment and data were recorded along with the operative time, estimated blood loss, stone burden, stone-free rate, length of hospitalization and complications .Patients were followed up after three months to rule out recurrence of stones by plain abdominal x-ray of kidney, ureter and bladder and USG.   Results: Out of 60 patients 35 were male and 25 were female (M: F=1.4:1) with mean age of 37 years and were subjected to PCNL monotherapy. With the average stone size of 3.26cm, the mean operative time was 78 minutes. Complete stone removal achieved by PCNL alone in 60 cases, with insignificant residual small stones we achieved 97% stone clearance rate. The mean hospital stay was 3.7 days. No Serious complications were encountered, 9 (15%) patients required blood transfusion and 3 (5%) patients developed transient post-operative pyrexia.   Conclusion: PCNL is the first line treatment option for management of large renal stones which as monotherapy has advantages in removal of renal and upper ureteric stones and achieving excellent results with minimal morbidity.

BACKGROUND We wanted to determine the various pre-operative and intra-operative factors responsible for conversion to open technique of appendectomy and compare the clinical outcomes of hospital-stay and operating time between open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy. METHODS Patients presented to General surgery Department of GITAM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research with features suggestive of acute appendicitis from September 2017 to November 2019 were included in this study. This is a prospective study which included a total of 100 patients. These patients were divided into two groups of 50 each. One group of patients with early presentation with symptoms of less than 3 days of duration, another group with late presentation of 3 or more days of onset of symptoms were included. In this study we wanted to compare the clinical outcomes of hospital stay and operating time between open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy. RESULTS In this study, majority of patients belong to age group 20 - 44 years who had delayed presentation to hospital, in contrast to patients who presented early involved the age group of 21 – 30 years. In this study, pain abdomen was the commonest symptom (100 %) with which patient presented. The other symptoms were nausea/vomiting (72 %), fever (63 %). Seven patients presented with diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with improved clinical outcomes even in patients who had late presentation. KEYWORDS Appendicitis, Laparoscopic, Gangrenous
