Background: This randomized controlled trials was conducted for systematic comparison of suture mesh fixation (SMF) versus glue mesh fixation (GMF) in open inguinal hernia repair with regards to chronic groin pain, recurrence, operative time, post operative pain and postoperative complications.Methods: This study was a single-center, prospective randomized, controlled trial of two groups. It compared post-operative outcomes of mesh fixation with suture (Group A) versus glue (Group B). It was done at Baroda Medical College and S.S.G. Hospital, from May 2018 to January 2019 for case study, intervention and followed up for 9 months till October 2019.Results: Intra operative time duration for mesh fixation is less in Group B (glue mesh fixation) as compare with Group A (suture mesh fixation) with the statistically significant p value of 0.003. Post-operative pain score (mean VAS score) is significantly less in group B. Mean VAS in group A was 1.27 at 3 month while in group B was 1.06 with the p value of 0.048 on 3 month, which is statistically significant. It suggests that chronic groin pain (pain at or after 3 month) significantly less in group B as compared with group A.Conclusions: Mesh fixation by glue has advantage of less intra operative time duration and less post-operative pain and chronic groin pain as compare to mesh fixation by suture.

Background: Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most common elective operations performed in general surgery worldwide. Mesh-hernioplasty became the gold standard, because of its low recurrence rate in comparison with tissue repairs. The ideal repair must be simple, safe easy to perform and require minimal dissection which provides enough space, should be cost effective with less hospital stay, less pain and less recurrence. The present study aimed at comparing the effect of mesh fixation and non-fixation in Lichtenstein technique for inguinal hernia repair.Methods: Hundred (100) patients with primary uncomplicated, unilateral inguinal hernia were treated between April 2019 and September 2020. Patients with inguinal hernia underwent Lichtenstein repair with mesh-fixation (group A) (n=50) and non-fixation (group B) (n=50). The mean operative time, post-operative pain score, average hospital study, post-operative complications and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups.Results: Mean operative time in non-fixation group- (group B) (32.24 min) was shorter as compared to fixation group-(G1) (49.36 min) with a p value of 0.002. Post-operative pain score was lower in (group B) at 12 and 24 hours (3.71±1.409 and 2.2±0.8169) as compared to G1 at 12 and 24 hours (4.77±1.196 and 2.98±1.295) with a p value of <0.0001. The analgesia required in (group B) was less as compared to (group A). The post-operative complication and recurrence rates were almost identical in both the groups, with lesser incidence of groin pain and paresthesias in group B.Conclusions: In Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair, non-fixation of mesh is safe and preferable option, with less operative time and less postoperative pain.

Objectives: To assess the comparison of harmonic scalpel versus Milligan Morgan technique in patients undergoing haemorrhoidectomy. Methodology: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted at General Hospital, Lahore, from March 2019 to September 2019. Informed consent was obtained from eligible 60 patients. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. In group-A, haemorrhoidectomy was conducted according to the harmonic scalpel method. In group-B, open haemorrhoidectomy was performed by the Milligan Morgan procedure. Data was assembled through a designed questionnaire and investigated via SPSS version 25. Data were stratified for descriptive statistics, level of haemorrhoids and period of haemorrhoids. Post-stratification, independent sample t-test was used. Results: Mean age of both groups patients were 44.6±7.6 and 43.8±8.2 years, respectively. In group-A, mean operative time was 20.8±2.8 minutes, while 26.5±2.8 minutes in group-B, which was statistically significant with p-value of 0.001. In group-A, mean convalescence period was 9.7±2.9 days, while 13.4±3.7 days in group-B, which was statistically significant with p-value of 0.001. The mean convalescence period with harmonic scalpel method was 7.4 days (range 5–14, SD 3.6) versus 18.6 days (range 7–30, SD 5.4) with Milligan Morgan technique (P?0.001). This research observed that harmonic scalpel method required almost six weeks for complete wound healing, whereas in  Milligan Morgan technique, complete wound healing was achieved after three months (P<0.05). Conclusion: Harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy found an advantageous method when assessing the operative time and convalescence period. Hence, Harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy can be adapted as a safe and effective alternative method for treating symptomatic haemorrhoids. Continuous...

Background: Inguinal hernia, the most frequently occurring type of hernia globally, Chronic groin pain could be related to nerve mangling while operating. Mesh repair can lead to an inflammatory reaction over a period of time, though it still needs ground work to find out exact cause of pain. So this study aims to compare the effectiveness of polyglactin versus prolene sutures in reducing the post-operative pain in inguinal hernia repair.Methods: A one year hospital prospective study in KLE hospital. A total of 60 adult patients were divided into two groups of 30 each. Mesh fixation with polyglactin sutures was group A (30) and mesh fixation with polypropylene sutures was group B (30) and then post-operative pain, was assessed. Follow-up was for 3 months. Collected data was analyzed using chi–square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests.Results: Our analysis showed that the incidence of postoperative groin pain with mean severity scores of 1.37±0.49 versus 1.43±0.50; 1.40±0.50 versus 1.57±0.73; 1.03±0.61 versus 1.50±0.057; 0.77±0.63 versus 1.30±0.79; at post-operative day 1, 3 in both groups were similar and statistically not significant whereas the 1 week and 3 months follow up in group A and B respectively, were significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: The post-op chronic groin pain is significantly low, hence routine usage of polyglactin sutures to fix a mesh is a safe and effective alternative to polypropylene sutures in Lichtenstein hernia repair.

Background: There is evidence regarding beneficial use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on post Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) incision pain. However, efficacy of different types of TENS following C section pain has not yet been explored adequately.Methods: 96 women who had recently undergone LSCS were included for the study. The subjects were in the age group of 20 to 40 years (25.84±3.96); having pain intensity 4 or more on Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). They were divided into three groups by random allocation method; namely Group A: Acupuncture (Low/Motor) TENS, Group B: Conventional (High/Sensory) TENS and Group C: Control group. Group A and B received specific type of TENS twice a day for 15 minutes. Control group C did not receive any TENS intervention. All subjects received standard post-operative medications and physiotherapy. Pain intensity was recorded on NPRS pre and post intervention.Results: Both Acupuncture TENS and Conventional TENS significantly decreased post-operative pain intensity as compared to control group (p value <0.0001).Conclusions: Both, acupuncture and conventional TENS are equally effective in reducing post LSCS incision pain at a strong and non-painful intensity.

Background: Residual neuralgia, called as Inguinodynia, is an important complication unique to groin hernia repair. The reported incidence ranges between 9-63%. The symptoms are potentially disabling. Symptoms are often more pronounced on axial twisting of body. Methods for prevention include identification and preservation of all nerves, Ilioinguinal Neurectomy and triple Neurectomy during surgery.Methods: One hundred patients underwent elective unilateral Lichtenstein’s tension free hernioplasty. 50 patients were subjected to elective ilioinguinal neurectomy. The remaining underwent standard Liechtenstein’s mesh hernioplasty, without ilioinguinal neurectomy. Randomization was achieved by allocating alternate patients to each group - prophylactic neurectomy, or nerve preservation. All patients, during each review were asked to fill out a Pain Disability Questionnaire to assess sensory loss and pain disability objectively.Results: At completion of 6 monthly follow up pain at rest (none in group ‘A’ compared with 3 in group ‘B’), after coughing 5 times (none in group ‘A’ compared with 7 in group ‘B’), after climbing 4 flights of stairs(3 in group ‘A’ compared with 16 in group ‘B’) and after cycling for 20 minutes (11 in group ‘A’ compared with 22 in group ‘B’) were all significantly lesser in the neurectomy group as compared with the non neurectomy group. More importantly, exertional chronic pain incidence at 6 months was significantly less in group ‘A’.Conclusions: It was concluded that pain after inguinal mesh hernioplasty is a cause of morbidity, pain was complained of by a significantly larger number of non-neurectomised patients at 6 months of follow-up, prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy is associated with reduced exertional chronic groin pain, disability caused by pain after inguinal hernioplasty, is significantly reduced by ilioinguinal neurectomy and an extremely significant reduction in the requirement of medication is brought about by neurectomy compared with controls.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of preservation /division of ilioinguinal nerve in patients undergoing lichenstein hernioraphy on severity of chronic post operative pain as well well as presence /absence of groin numbness. Method: A randamised control trial was conducted for a period of six months on 60 patient fulfilling inclusion criteria who underwent lichenstein hernioraphy at general surgery department of Liaquat National university hospital Karachi , Pakistan. Result: A total of 60 patients undergoing elective inguinal hernia mesh repair were Included in study and divided in two groups with 30 patients each. Only male patients were included in the study as female gender was one of the exclusion criteria so gender stratification was no considered. Patients between 17 to 77 yrs of age were included in study and randomly divided in two groups. Mean age of population in group A is 42.96 +/- 17.76 an in group B is 54.23 +/- 15.0. The minimum age of the patient in Group A is 17 years and maximum age is 73 years whereas minimum age of the patient in Group B is 20 years and maximum age is 77 years. 45.9% Patients in group A (Nerve preservation group) have right inguinal hernia. 54.0%% Patients in group B (Nerve Division group) have right inguinal hernia. 56.5%% Patients in group A (Nerve Preservation group) have left inguinal hernia. 43.4% Patients in group B (Nerve Division group) have left inguinal hernia. Chronic groin pain while different physical activities and groin numbness in nerve preservation and nerve division group was assessed at three and six months follow ups in all patients of the study population. 3% of the patients from nerve preservation group had mild pain during climbing stairs at three and six months follow up and the P-Value was 0.313 which is statistically not significant. 10% of the patients from nerve division group and 50% patients from nerve preservation group had pain during brisk walking at three months follow up and the P-Value was 0.001 which is statistically significant. 23% of the patients from nerve division group and 60% patients from nerve preservation group had pain during brisk walking at six months follow up and the P-Value was 0.004 which is statistically significant. 13.3% patients from nerve preservation group had moderate pain during brisk walking at three months follow up while none of the patient from nerve division group had pain and P-Value was 0.038 which is statistically significant. 6.6% of the patients from nerve preservation group had moderate pain during brisk walking at six months follow up while none of the patient from nerve division group had pain and p-value was 0.150 which is statistically in significant. 20% of the patients from nerve division group and 30% of the patients from nerve preservation group had mild groin numbness at three months follow up with P-Value of 0.371 which is statistically in significant. 33.3% of the patients from nerve division group and 30% of the patients from nerve preservation group had groin numbness at six months follow up with a p-value of 0.781 which is statistically in significant. Conclusion: Prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy during Lichtenstein tension free inguinal hernia repair decreases the incidence of exertional chronic post operative pain as compare to the nerve preservation group. However the cutaneous neurosensory disturbance/groin numbness between the two groups has no difference in term of outcome. In order to prepare ourselves from a expected third wave of Covid-19, we should not repeat mistakes that we made during previos waves. We should refrain ourselves from dismantling our enhanced healthcare facilities, there should not be any sorts of shortage of oxygen , hospital beds, and drug that we have already witnessed. We must have an aggressive containment measure comprising of a really strong and pro-active surveillance system. This can be achieved by increasing the capacity of the existing surveillance system by identifying active cases early. We must ensure that we should follow “social vaccine” of proper masking, avoid indoor gatherings, and proper sanitization. Our vaccination programme needs a boost. We should vaccinate a large section of people before any third wave hits us. The more we vaccinate, the better prepared we are. As medical professionals, it must be ensured that proper scientific protocol must be implemented while handling Covid-19 cases. And last but not the least efforts must be made to fill up vacancies seen in our public health system, especially for frontline healthcare workers. As it is anticipated that the young children are more vulnerable to the forthcoming third wave, efforts are to be sought in order to start vaccination of the younger children in our country. Trials for which has already been started in India and across the world. Till the time vaccine is made available, the resources are to be mobilized to build up healthcare facilities catering the vulnerable age group in this third wave such as building up of more paediatric wards, paediatric ICU’s , training of healthcare personals in handling the emergencies for expected third wave .In addition to these efforts , more and more paediatric covid care centers must be set up at various parts of the country. Equally important is making arrangements for rehabilitation centers for the orphans. Countries like US, Singapore and UAE have already started vaccinating the children in age group between 12 to 15 years with Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine. It’s a high time that the government in India must consider for allowing “expedited approval pathway” to the companies like Pfizer for their Covid-19 vaccine for children. All these combined efforts from everyone may ensure that the country and world may remain well equipped against these subsequent waves of this deadly virus and pave the path of the triumph in the near future.

Abstract Background Semi-rigid uretroscopy (URS) is a common intervention approach for lower ureteric stones. Ureteral dilatation is frequently needed before URS to enable ureter accessing. Aminophylline is known by its muscle relaxant effect and has been suggested to be effective in ureteral dilation. Objectives To evaluate the effect of intravesical administration of aminophylline on ureteroscopy and to measure intraureteral pressure Methods This prospective randomized controlled study included 50 before and after aminophylline injection. patients with lower ureteral calculi. In group A, the ureter was dilated by intravesical aminophylline whereas in group B balloon dilator was used. Intraureteral pressure was measured using pressure transducer connected to invasive pressure monitor. Results No statistically significant difference was noticed between both groups in operative time, intra operative complication, need for ureteral stenting or stone free rate. However, post-operative pain and haematuria were statistically significantly higher among balloon group compared to aminophylline group. In group A, there was statistically significant decrease in intraureteral pressure after injection of aminophylline (7.80 ± 1.71) compared to before injection (12.2 ± 1.85) with p-value &lt; 0.001. Conclusion Aminophylline is effective in ureteral dilatation when intravesically injected with less frequent post-operative pain and hematuria.
