Background: Spleen mediates important immunologic, storage and hematologic functions. A person can undergo a splenectomy for various causes which includes both surgical and non surgical. The recent trend being towards spleen preservation, it is necessary to critically analyse the indications for splenectomy and assess if the desired post operative outcomes are achieved by splenectomy. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out on patients of Department of General Surgery, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore, from august 2017 to November 2019. 45 adult subjects (both male and females) aged ≥ 18 years, who underwent elective or emergency splenectomy for various indications were studied. Results: The most common indication for splenectomy was trauma in 27 patients(60%) followed by splenic abscess(15.6%). Most of the patients underwent emergency splenectomy i.e., 25 cases(55%) . In our study the majority received blood transfusion, 15.5% developed wound infection and 2 cases(4.4%) needed reexploration due to rebleeding.

Perforation Peritonitis

Introduction :Surgical team always tries to provide consistently low incidence of major complications for patient undergoing any operation. Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification is the simplest way of reporting all complications. The main aim of this study was to test the usefulness of Clavien-Dindo classification in patients undergoing the abdominal surgery. In this study Clavien-Dindo classification has been used for assessment of postsurgical complications after major abdominal surgery. Material and method: It was an observational study of all perforation peritonitis patients admitted in sri aurobindo medical college and post graduate institute between november 2017 to may 2019 (1 and 1/2 Year) on the basis of Clavien-Dindo classification. Results :This was an observational prospective study was carried out in Department of General Surgery, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and P.G. Institute, Indore, which includes total 60 patients of perforation peritonitis admitted and treated in the department, During the period of November 2017 to May 2019. In our study Most common symptoms in patients presenting with perforation is Abdominal pain in 60 (100%) patients. 45(75%) patients had constipation & obstipation, 41 (68.33%) patients had vomiting ,33(55%) of patients had fever 17 (28.33%) patients had abdominal distensions the other common symptoms. Out of 60 patients, all 60(100%) patients had abdominal tenderness and guarding, 47 (78.33%) patients had absent bowel sounds, 42(70%) patients had tachycardia, 26 (43.33%) patients had hypotension, 23 (38.33%) patients had tachypnoea and 21 (35%) patients had low urinary output. In 16 (26.6%) patients comorbid conditions were present. In 10 (16.66%) patients multiple perforations were found out of which only 01 (10%) patient is haemodynamically stable and 09 (90%) patients were unstable. Complication occurred in 09(90%) patients and no complication were only in 01 (10%) patients. In this group 04(40%) patients got discharged and 6(60%) patient expired. P Value was 0.001 which is significant. In our study most common site of perforation was gastric perforation 30(49.18%) Complication according to clavien -dindo classification 14 out of 60 (23.33%) patients had no complications, 4 (6.66%) had grade I complication, 5 (8.33%) had grade II complications, 12 (20%) had grade III complications, 11 (18.33%) had grade IV complications, and 14 (23.33%) had grade V complication rates. Conclusion :Perforation peritonitis is a life-threatening condition and requires urgent hospital care, resuscitation and surgery. Early resuscitation and surgery are required to decrease morbidity and mortality. On the basis of risk stratification in Peritonitis patients its management requires lots of expensive modalities, skill, monitoring and treatment to provide better care to the patient. For the classification of complications, a new system is proposed by Clavien–Dindo which is very helpful during perforation surgery.Clavien- Dindo classification helps us to distinguish a normal postoperative course and the severity of complications, which allows us to compare postoperative morbidity and evaluate the outcomes. We also recommend a larger study with a bigger sample size for better analysis of clavien-dindo classification of complications and to confirm the findings of our study.

Background: Confusion lies over the diagnosis when the patients show ring enhancing lesions of the brain on CT scan. Some consider it as tuberculoma while some consider it as cysticercosis. More studies are required to give clear picture of ring enhancing lesions of the brain. The objective was to study clinical profile and etiology ring enhancing lesion in CT scan brain at a tertiary care center.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine, SVS Medical College, Mahabubnagar district which is a tertiary care referral hospital in the state of Telangana. This study was done during the period from July 2006 to October 2008. A total of 50 cases were taken up for this study. After selecting the patients for the study, already prepared protocol was followed strictly for each patient. The protocol contained identification data, detailed history and examination of central nervous system and peripheral signs for tuberculosis and cysticercosis.Results: The males were more than the females and 14-24 years age group was most affected. The most common presentation of ring enhancing lesions was seizures alone in 72% of the cases. Out of these cases the most common presentation was generalized tonic-clonic seizure in 40% of the cases. Majority i.e. 45 had single ring enhancing lesion on CT scan of the brain. The most common etiology of the ring enhancing lesion was found out to be neurocysticercosis in 54% of the cases of ring enhancing lesions.Conclusions: Ring enhancing lesions should be considered in differential diagnosis of those who present with seizures in endemic areas like India.

In our study, the successful graft uptake was seen 90% in dry ears and 85% in wet ears, which seems to be not significant in difference. With respect to hearing improvement, post-operatively there was significant improvement in both the groups, when compared to pre-operative hearing. The maximum improvement in average hearing threshold after surgery, in dry ears with large perforation (12.66dB) and in wet ears with small central perforation (12.44dB) was almost equal.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In this study, the success rate of graft uptake and hearing improvement is found almost equal in dry and wet ears by using underlay technique of myringoplasty. </p>

Introduction: Hemoptysis is a common but distressing and alarming symptom in a patient. Data related to detail clinical profile and follow up study of hemoptysis are lacking. Objective: This study was carried out to see the clinical profile of patients with hemoptysis and to study the recurrences in tertiary care centre of province 1 within the study period. Methodology: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the department of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine of Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal. The study was carried out between 30th January 2017 to 1st February 2020. For follow up of recurrences of hemoptysis, the patients were asked for regular chest clinic follow up and regular telephone calls made to the patients, in case, patients could not attend the chest clinic for any reason. Results: A total of 150 patients were enrolled over the last 3 years. Among them 75% were male. The maximum number of patients (27%) were between 31-40 years of age group. Old sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) (32%) and bronchiectasis (28%) were the commonest cause of hemoptysis. Lung cancer (10%) and active PTB (10%) were other causes of hemoptysis. CT scan of the chest provided the highest (84%) diagnostic yield. Most of the cases were having mild hemoptysis (50%). 17% of the patients in our study had recurrences of hemoptysis. Conclusion: Old PTB sequelae with bronchiectasis (fibrobronchiectasis) were the commonest cause of hemoptysis. Conservative management worked most effectively in controlling hemoptysis, if used properly.
