Objective: To establish that management of penile fractures by operative repair of corporeal tear is safe and effective because operative repair speeds recovery and lessens the chance of erectile deformity or dysfunction, Design: A prospective study, Place and duration of study: This study was conducted in the department of Urology of Allama Iqbal Medical College/Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from December, and 1995 to October 2002. Material and Methods: Twelve patients with fracture of penis have been treated in this department during the last seven years. Their mean age was 38 years (range 21-53) and 58% of the injuries resulted from coitus, All these patients underwent immediate surgical exploration, which included degloving of the penis, evacuation of the hematoma and closure of the corporeal tear, Results: During the follow up period, all patients reported firm and straight erections, Postoperatively, there was no infection, hematomas or complaints of a lack of penile sensation. The patients did not report any disturbances in sexual function. Conclusion: We conclude that operative management of fractured corporeal body is safe and effective.

A Prospective Study

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is under reported yet distressing symptoms which can be managed effectively by the drugs available. Aim was to study and compare the efficacy of two drugs, mirabegron and darifenacin in controlling the symptoms of overactive bladder.Methods: This prospective study included a total of 120 cases of overactive bladder reported at Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Amritsar from January 2018 to December 2019. This comparative study was done by giving Mirabegron to first five patients and next five patients were given darifenacin up to 120 patients. The drug treatment with once daily administration of 25 mg mirabegron and 7.5 mg of darifenacin was given for a total of 12 weeks. The signs and symptoms were noted at the beginning of the therapy and then follow up was done at 4, 8, 10 and 12 weeks.Results: Total 54 out of 60 patients (90%) on miragaberon and 59 of 60 patients (98.33%) on darifenacin were relieved of symptom of increased frequency of micturition. 53 of 60 pateints (88.33%) on miragaberon and 59 of 60 patients (98.33%) on darifenacin were relieved of symptom of decreased average voiding volume. 28 of 60 pateints (46.67 %) on miragaberon showed nocturia as compared to 25 of 60 patients (41.67%) on darifenacin.Conclusions: It has been concluded that both mirabegron as well as darifenacin are highly efficacious newer treatment options for the management of OAB. Our study found Darifenacin to be relatively more efficacious in the treatment of OAB at a lesser dose and statistically significant differences were observed between the two drugs.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Tracheostomal stenosis following total laryngectomy for carcinoma of larynx is a challenging condition for an otolaryngologist, especially when the patient requires post-operative radiotherapy. Critical narrowing of the stoma needs surgical widening. Though there are few surgical techniques described for the same, re-stenosis has been observed in many. We conducted a comparative study of two widening techniques: Y-V advancement and two circular incisions technique.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was conducted, to assess the outcome of 2 surgical techniques: Y-V advancement and two circular incisions technique in patients with tracheostomal stenosis following total laryngectomy. Initially three patients were subjected to Y-V advancement technique for stomal dilatation. But all three patients presented with re-stenosis in a mean period of 8 months and were then subjected to stomal widening by the double circular incisions technique. The next five patients who presented with stomal stenosis underwent widening by two circular incisions technique. All 8 patients were followed up for one year postoperatively.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Among the 8 patients, 3 patients who presented initially underwent stomal widening by the Y-V advancement technique. All 3 patients presented with re-stenosis in a mean period of 8 months post-operatively. Stomal widening using the two circular incisions technique was adopted for these three patients and another 5 patients who presented with stomal stenosis. All 8 patients were found to be maintaining an adequate stoma on one year post-operative follow up.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In our experience, stomal widening by the two circular incisions technique has found to be effective in maintaining an adequate stoma with no features of re-stenosis on a one year postoperative follow up. However a larger study is desirable to conclusion of the same. </p>

The current study is a prospective study on the functional outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures. About 30 patients were analyzed for the functional outcome of acetabular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation over a period of one year and eight months from March 2017 to October 2018 with a minimum follow up period of 9 months at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital, Chromepet, Chennai. The mean age of the patient was 37.96 year ranging from 20 - 60 years. The Joel Matta score was used for calculation of radiological outcome of 30 patients. The results were excellent in 19 (66.3%), good in 8 (26.6%), fair in 3 (10%), and poor in 0 (0%) patients. Functional outcome of displaced acetabular fractures more than 2 mm displacement was found to have excellent results on open reduction and internal fixation.

Tympanic Membrane Retraction

AbstractThe treatment of tympanic membrane retraction pockets by simple excision is described in 66 ears in 50 patients. After one operation 65 per cent of the retraction pockets were successfully treated (mean follow up 14.1 months). Persisting perforations occurred in five patients after one excision. Retrotympanic cholesteatoma was found in one patient, after two retraction pocket excision operations. The number of myringotomies with grommet insertion and the presence of bilateral disease does not predict the outcome of the procedure. Simple excision should be considered in the first instance, rather than reinforcement tympanoplasty using temporalis fascia or cartilage graft, in the treatment of tympanic membrane retraction pockets.
