Background: Seitz bath in post-perineal surgery minimizes pain by reducing anal sphincter tone and also maintains hygiene. The aim and objective of this retrospective study is to compare the effect of warm versus regular room temperature seitz bath. The article clears the concept of seitz bath. The seitz bath gives psychological satisfaction of dressing to patient and helps in boosting the concept of hygiene in their mind.Method: Study design for this study was comparative study of warm and room temperature seitz bath on 60 patients by convenience sampling operated for perineal diseases from 01 November 2019 to 30 March 2020 with written informed consent of patient and fulfilling ethical requirements at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Thane, Mumbai. Patients with immunocompromised status and comorbidities like diabetes, tuberculosis, HIV were excluded from study this was the criteria for the study.Results: Out of 60 postoperative cases having perineal wounds, 35 (58.33%) patients opted for warm water seitz bath, while the rest 25 (41.66%) preferred regular room temperature seitz bath. In spite of a greater number of patients opting for warm seitz bath, wound recovery in terms of healing and wound discharge was almost similar in both the study groups. All the patients involved in the study were comfortable to resume their daily activities with significant reduction in pain by the end of first week irrespective of the choice of seitz bath they opted for.Conclusion: The study concludes that symptomatic relief and wound recovery in the operated cases of perineal surgeries completely independent of the choice of seitz bath practiced.

Background: Surgery for thyroid disorders is the common operation in general surgery and total thyroidectomy is widely performed both for carcinoma as well as benign bilateral diseases of the thyroid and the most common complication is transient hypocalcaemia. A preliminary study was conducted to assess the risk factors for transient hypocalcaemia in our hospital.Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted from February 2013 to April 2014 at the Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Pondicherry and have included all patients undergone any type of thyroid surgery with a normal pre-operative serum calcium level. After initial clinical assessment, blood samples were drawn for estimation of thyroid function and serum calcium and albumin. Postoperative hypocalcemia was assessed by eliciting Chovstek’s and Troussea’s sign and biochemically estimating serum calcium and albumin at 6,24, and 24 hours intervals and 1st and 3rd months during follow-up. The risk factors involved are also studied like sex, age, type of thyroidectomy, identification of parathyroid, Identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve and their histology.Results: A total of 50 patients who underwent thyroidectomy were included in the study. The hypocalcemia occurred in 28% of patients studied showed that 66.7% of patients developed hypocalcemia at 48-72 hours. There was no statistical significance for the parameters of age or gender, benign and malignant conditions of thyroid. The analysis of type surgery performed showed a significant number of patients developing transient hypocalcaemia after near or total thyroidectomy (p-0.002).Conclusions: The present study, though consisted of a small group of patients has shown that transient hypocalcaemia after near or total thyroidectomy occurs in early post-operative days. Hence, on an average 2-5 days of hospital stay is mandatory. Near total or total thyroidectomy is a risk factor. Early diagnosis and replacement with calcium intra-venous reduce the morbidity and mortality of hypocalcaemia.

Introduction: Haemorrhoid is the frequent problem in clinical practice of general surgery. Haemorrhoids are dilatation and tortuosity of rectal veins affecting almost 4.5% of the population. Various operative and non operative therapeutic options are in practice to treat haemorrhoids, yet none has been proven cent percent effective. Sclerotherapy is a simple, safe and cost effective procedure that is widely practiced globally to treat haemorrhoids. Many sclerosants are being used with variable efficacies. Objective: To evaluate the outcome of injection Sclerotherapy in first degree and second degree haemorrhoids. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients of both gender having haemorrhoids who attended Outpatient Department (OPD) at BNS Patenga from September 2013 to August 2014 were included in this study. On the basis of history, patients were selected for Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and proctoscopic examination to confirm the diagnosis. Sclerotherapy was repeated at interval of 6 weeks till symptomatic relief was achieved. Maximum 3 sittings of sclerotherapy were given. Patients were followed up at 3 months interval for 1 year. Results: This prospective study was conducted on 50 cases of first degree and second degree Haemorrhoids. The highest number of patients 21(42%) were in the age group of 21-30 years with majority 38(76%) being male. Male female ratio was 3.16: 1. All the patients presented with painless per-rectal bleeding. Satisfactory results were observed in 29(58%) patients of whom 20(40%) patients were having first degree haemorrhoids and 9(18%) patients were having second degree haemorrhoids. Sclerotherapy was more effective in first degree compared to second degree haemorrhoids patients. Conclusion: Injecting Sclerotherapy is a suitable office procedure for treatment of haemorrhoids. The method is easy, convenient, cheap, well accepted and comfortable for patient. More or less there are no complications and the result is also satisfactory.

<b>Background:</b> Metastatic Crohn’s disease (CD) is a rare manifestation of CD. It involves inflammatory skin lesions with histopathological findings (granulomas) similar to CD, without connection to the gastrointestinal tract. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been suggested as a possible treatment option. <b>Objective:</b> This study aimed to identify and treat a consecutive series of patients with biopsy-proven metastatic CD and monitor wound healing using prospectively acquired outcomes. <b>Methods:</b> Pathology results of all patients with ongoing perineal wound-healing problems after proctectomy between 2005 and 2018 at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre were assessed for metastatic CD. Patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of perineal metastatic CD were offered HBO (40 daily sessions of 100% oxygen at 2.4 atmosphere absolute). Wound healing was monitored using photographs and standardised questionnaires (the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale and the Female Sexual Function Index) at baseline and 1 and 3 months after HBO. <b>Results:</b> Out of 13 patients in the cohort with persisting perineal wounds after proctectomy, six (46%) had biopsy results consistent with metastatic CD. Of these, three accepted treatment with HBO. All three patients were female. One patient had complete healing of her perineal wound; another patient showed initial improvement but had a flare of luminal and perineal disease at the 3-month follow-up. The third patient showed improvement solely in the questionnaires, with higher scores on all three questionnaires. <b>Conclusion:</b> A high rate of metastatic CD was found in patients with ongoing wound-healing problems after proctectomy, implying that the disease might not be as rare in these selected patients as previously thought. HBO might be beneficial in the treatment of metastatic CD.
