<strong>Background:</strong> Incisional Hernias are common complication of andominal surgery. Depending on the risk factors Incisional Hernia can occure in 10 - 20 % of patients subjected to abdominal operations. <strong>Aims and Objective:</strong> A clinical study on risk factors, clinical prentations, management and post oprattive complications in patient with Incisional Hernia. <strong>Setting:</strong> Department of Surgery of a Tertiary Health Care Centre with an attached medical college. Material and Methods: A total of 43 patients of Incisional Hernia were studied and postoperative complications were evaluated in our institute. <strong>Results:</strong> Incidence of incisional hernia is more common in females than males and the overall M:F ratio is 1:2, 55.9 % of patients presented with swelling and pain. Incisional hernia incidence is high in lower abdominal incisions. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The use of midline incision should be restricted to operations in which unlimited access to the abdominal cavity is necessary. Use of suction drain reducess post-oparative complication.

Background: Puerperal sepsis in developing countries is a major health problem. Antenatal and labour related risk factors play a huge role in causing puerperal sepsis, many of which are modifiable. The aim of the present study is to study the risk factors, clinical features and outcomes of puerperal sepsis in the mother and determine the causative microorganisms involved.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Assam Medical college and Hospital from 1st July 2016 to 30th June 2017.Peurperal sepsis cases were identified based on the WHO clinical definition. A total of 88 patients were identified. Information regarding occupation, antenatal care, delivery related events and outcome were recorded on a predesigned proforma. Mothers were followed up till discharge from the hospital.Results: Out of 88 clinically diagnosed patients with puerperal sepsis, common risk factors associated with mortality were young age(p<0.001),primiparity(p 0.005),tea garden workers(p 0.014),few antenatal check-ups and unbooked status (p 0.001) inadequate iron prophylaxis .Among labor related events intrauterine fetal demise (p 0.001), absent membranes on admission (0.001),late presentation (p 0.001) delivery by untrained birth attendant (p <0.001) were significant.24 patients expired due to the disease. Most common isolated in high vaginal swab and blood culture were Klebsiella pneumoniae and CONS respectively.Conclusions: Proper antenatal care and institutional deliveries are the prime and only preventive measure to reduce the burden of puerperal sepsis in our setup.

Снижение количества коллагена первого типа, существенно влияет на развитие ПВГ. Снизить частоту развития послеоперационных вентральных грыж можно вследствие раннего диагностирования факторов риска снижения коллагена на амбулаторном этапе подготовки к лапаротомии. Чем раньше сделана операция, тем меньше выражены изменения в тканях и органах, а само хирургическое вмешательство является менее сложным и более эффективным. При гладком течении и заживлении после первой операции можно оперировать послеоперационную грыжу спустя 6-8-10 месяцев в зависимости от вида и обширности первого вмешательства, общего состояния больного, величины и динамики роста грыжевого выпячивания. При склонности к ущемлению, а также при развивающемся синдроме спаечной непроходимости следует оперировать в возможно ранние сроки. Если в анамнезе есть указания на тяжело протекавший послеоперационный период в связи с обширным нагноением в ране, длительной тампонадой брюшной полости, тяжелой интоксикацией, перитонитом либо весьма длительным пребыванием в стационаре по поводу релапаротомии, следует выждать больший срок, примерно 12-18 месяцев. На это время надо назначить больному определенный режим, принять меры к улучшению общего состояния, уменьшению страданий в связи с развитием спаечного процесса в грыжевом мешке и в брюшной полости. По показаниям следует рекомендовать ношение хорошо прилаженного бандажа. Тhe decrease in the amount of collagen of the first type significantly affects the development of PVG. It is possible to reduce the incidence of postoperative ventral hernias due to early diagnosis of risk factors for collagen loss at the outpatient stage of preparation for laparotomy. The earlier the operation, the less pronounced changes in tissues and organs, and the surgery itself is less complex and more effective. When you smooth over and heal after the first operation can be operated incisional hernia after 6-8-10 months depending on the type and extensiveness of the first intervention, the patient's General condition, size and growth of hernial protrusion. With a tendency to infringement, as well as with the developing syndrome of adhesive obstruction, it is necessary to operate as early as possible. If in the history there are indications of a difficult postoperative period due to extensive suppuration in the wound, prolonged tamponade of the abdominal cavity, severe intoxication, peritonitis or a very long stay in the hospital for relaparotomy, you should wait a longer period, about 12-18 months. At this time, it is necessary to assign the patient a certain regime, take measures to improve the General condition, reduce suffering in connection with the development of adhesions in the hernia SAC and in the abdominal cavity. According to the indications, it should be recommended to wear a well-adjusted bandage.

AbstractWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 497 patients who underwent tonsillectomy at Kamio Memorial Hospital from September 2015 to August 2018. A total of 35 cases (7.0%) developed postoperative bleeding and three cases (0.6%) needed a second operation under general anesthesia to stop the bleeding. Postoperative bleeding most frequently occurred between 24 hours and 6 days after the operation. The incidence of postoperative bleeding was significantly higher in males and in patients aged 20 to 39 years old. The operation time, body mass index, smoking habit, and history of hypertension were not identified as clinical risk factors for bleeding after tonsillectomy in this study.

Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a pathologic defect in its surrounding wall. Overall, hernia is common and is generally believed to be a benign condition associated with some morbidity, although it is not thought to be associated with significant mortality. Between 2001 and 2010, 2.3 million inpatient abdominal hernia repairs were performed in the United States, of which 567,000 were performed emergently. In some cases, a hernia can be a deadly condition. In 2002, hernia was listed as the cause of death for 1,595 US citizens. This review covers the pathophysiology, stabilization and assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and disposition and outcomes of hernia. Figures show anatomic locations of the various abdominal wall, groin, lumbar, and pelvic floor hernias; a direct inguinal hernia; an indirect inguinal hernia; point-of-care sonograms showing a ventral wall hernia and an abdominal wall hernia; and the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass based on anatomic location. Tables list risk factors for the development of inguinal hernia, sex-based differences in inguinal hernia development, risk factors for the development of incisional hernia, factors to consider when assessing the patient for a hernia, and factors associated with the highest rates of incarceration in patients with groin hernia. Key words: emergent hernia, hernia incarceration, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, strangulated hernia This review contains 6 highly rendered figures, 5 tables, and 66 references.

Abstract Background and aims: The abdominal aorta usually terminates at the level of L4 vertebral body into common iliac arteries. With the present day advancements in vascular surgery and neurological surgeries involving approach to lumbar vertebral bodies, we need to know any variations from this normal course. So, the present study aimed at knowing the anatomical variations in the termination of abdominal aorta and in common iliac arteries which might prove to be of some help in some of such surgeries. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 35 adult (29 males and 6 females) embalmed cadavers obtained from anatomy departments of Govt. Medical college, Amritsar and Gian Sagar Medical college, Ramnagar, Punjab. The abdominal cavity was opened, peritoneum stripped off from aorta at its bifurcation, variations in its termination, common iliac arteries and their branches were carefully observed and recorded. Results: In 54.29% cases the level of aortic bifurcation was found opposite 4th Lumbar vertebra, in the rest it was variable between L3 and L5 vertebra. Conclusions: These variations may lead to some trouble during vertebral surgeries, making it essential to investigate and locate the exact position of great vessels before the commencement of surgery.
