Abstract Single-site laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal ligation (SLPEL) for pediatric inguinal hernia gained popularity all over the world. However, complications associated with extraperitoneal knotting were not rare in the classical SLPEL(C-SLPEL) procedure. In order to overcome disadvantages, we herein developed the modified SLPEL (M-SLPEL) procedure, intact circuit ligation of the peritoneum around the internal ring using a homemade hernia needle with a single abdominal wall centesis. To evaluated the effectiveness of the M-SLPEL procedure to decrease adverse events associated with ligation knotting, a comparative study was carried out. A total of 3219 patients from multiple centers were divided into two groups according to the operative procedures: M-SLPEL group and C-SLPEL group. All patients were followed up. Data describing the clinical characteristics, operative time, postoperative hospital stay, and complications was collected and retrospectively analyzed. With equivalent operative time, postoperative hospital stay, there was statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of the overall complications incidence (2.6% in C-SLPEL Vs 0.11% in M-SLPEL, P=0.03), including pain in inguinal area, knot foreign body reaction, palpable knot, recurrence. Together, these findings suggest that the M-SLPEL procedure is an effective and safe approach, with unique advantage in reducing adverse events in the inguinal region.

Minimally invasive adrenalectomy is considered to be the standard of care for the surgical treatment of the adrenal gland? s pathology. Since the initial report of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in 1992 and of retroperitoneal endoscopic adrenalectomy in 1994, it has evolved into a feasible and safe minimally invasive procedure for benign adrenal tumors. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of 63 retroperitoneal endoscopic adrenalectomies (REAs) and 45 conventional adrenalectomies (CAs) from 1996 to 2004 were evaluated. 61 patients underwent 63 REAs. Tumor size varied from 2 to 8 cm. Median age was 48.6 years. Median operative time was 135 min (45-240), median intraoperative blood loss - 85 ml (30- 550). The complication rate was 17.77%. Median postoperative hospital stay was 5 days (2-10). 44 patients underwent 45 conventional adenalectomies. Median age was 44.5 years (16-71). Intraoperative complication rate was 17.77%, postoperative - 22.22 %, Median operative time was 120 min (75 -240). Median postoperative hospital stay was 10 days (6-21). No statistically significant difference was established between median operative times of REA- and CA-groups (p=0.91). Conventional adrenalectomy was associated with a significantly increased complication rate (p= 0.009). Hospitalization was also longer after the open technique (d). Introduced in 1994 and displaying all advantages of minimal access surgery REA has become the standard of care for benign adrenal tumors. .

Purpose The primary aim of this study was to examine the effects of two oxygenator systems on major adverse events and mortality. Methods A total of 181 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the oxygenator used: Group M, in which a Medtronic Affinity (Medtronic Operational Headquarters, Minneapolis, MN, USA) oxygenator was used, and Group S, in which a Sorin Inspire (Sorin Group Italia, Mirandola, Italy) oxygenator was used. Results Group S consisted of 89 patients, whereas Group M included 92 patients. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of age ( p = .112), weight ( p = .465), body surface area ( p = .956), or gender ( p = .484). There was no statistically significant difference in hemorrhage on the first or second postoperative day ( p = .318 and p = .455, respectively). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of red blood cell ( p = .468), fresh frozen plasma ( p = .116), or platelet concentrate transfusion ( p = .212). Infections, wound complications, and delayed sternal closure were significantly more common in Group M ( p = .006, p = .023, and p = .019, respectively). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenators and intra-aortic balloon pumps were required significantly more frequently in Group S ( p = .025 and p = .013, respectively). Major adverse events occurred in 16 (18%) patients in Group S and 14 (15.2%) patients in Group M ( p = .382). Mortality was observed in six (6.7%) patients in Group S and three (3.3%) patients in Group M ( p = .232). No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of length of hospital stay ( p = .451). Conclusion The clinical outcomes of the two oxygenator systems, including mortality, major adverse events, hemorrhage, erythrocyte and platelet transfusions, and length of hospital stay, were similar.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of LigaSure Vessel Sealer in Near Total Thyroidectomy versus Conventional Clamp Knot Tie Technique in terms of bleeding, operative time and postoperative drainage. Methodology: This comparative cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro. Study duration was one year from November 2019 to October 2020. All patients of any age with benign multinodular goiter and either of gender were included. The study subjects were grouped into two categories by randomization (odd / even). The odd numbers were given to patients operated for ligasure and even numbers were given to patients operated with conventional clamp knot tie technique.  Outcomes were observed with respect to post-operative calcium level, intra-operative bleeding, operative time, post-operative pain & post-operative hospital stay. All the data was recorded via study proforma. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: Total 55 patients were observed. Mean age was 33.25±10.60 years in clamp knot tie procedure group and 35.16±07.96 years in ligasure technique group; without significant difference (p-0.448). Pre and post-operative calcium levels were statistically insignificant among both groups (p-0.358 and 0.163), while loss of blood, hospital stay, post-operative pain and operative duration were significantly greater in clamp knot tie technique group in comparison to ligasure technique group (p-<0.001). Conclusion: LigaSure Vessel Sealer is a feasible and reliable surgical technique and significantly more effective as compared to conventional clamp knot tie technique in terms of post-operative bleeding, operative time, post-operative pain and post-operative hospital stay. However, calcium level was statistically insignificant.

Background: Umbilical and ventral hernia occurs as a result of weakness in musculofascial layer of anterior abdominal wall. The most important causes are congenital, acquired, incisional and traumatic. UH and VH can be repair by open surgical procedure. A successful series of laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernia and VH was done by Le blanc in 1993. The cost can be optimised by selection of mesh and optimal uses of transabdominal suture and various fixation devices. This original article reveals methods, techniques, indication, contraindication, post-op pain, operative time, surgical site infection recurrence and outcome of laparoscopic umbilical hernia and paraumbilical hernia repair.Methods: A total of 21 patients of ventral hernia (umbilical, paraumbilical and incisional), who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair from October 2014 to October 2016, were selected have taken part in study with valid consent, in B.J. Medical College Ahmedabad Gujarat. All patient study regarding operative time, postoperative pain, postoperative hospital stay, surgical site infection like wound infection, seroma, hernia defect size, mean drain removal and recurrence.Results: Out of 21 patients male are 33% and female are 67%. Mean age of patients is 45 yrs with range being 18-65 yrs. 28%, 33.33%, and 38.1% of patient had umbilical, paraumbilical and incisional hernia respectively. Mean size defect was 7.8 cm2. Mean operative time in this study is 98.6 minute. Mean drain removal is 2.80 day. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.3 days. 4.7% had wound infection, 9.5% had seroma formation. There is 0% recurrence in present study.Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach appears to be safe, effective and acceptable. It is also effective in those who are obese, with co morbidities (complex) and who have recurrence from prior open repair and having ascites.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Advances in micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stones have made it an alternative approach to the retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) approach. Nevertheless, the superiority of micro-PCNL over RIRS is still under debate. The results are controversial. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the clinical results in patients presenting with kidney stones treated with micro-PCNL or RIRS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A literature search was done for electronic databases to identify researches that compared micro-PCNL and RIRS till December 2019. The clinical outcome included complications, stone-free rates (SFRs), hemoglobin reduction, length of hospital stay, and operative time. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Five articles were included in our study. The pooled results revealed no statistical difference in the rate of complications (OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.57–1.74, <i>p</i> = 0.99), length of hospital stay (MD = −0.29, 95% CI = −0.82 to 0.24, <i>p</i> = 0.28), and operative time (MD = −6.63, 95% CI = −27.34 to 14.08, <i>p</i> = 0.53) between the 2 groups. However, significant difference was present in hemoglobin reduction (MD = −0.43, 95% CI = −0.55 to 0.30, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001) and the SFRs (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36–0.98, <i>p</i> = 0.04) when comparing RIRS with micro-PCNL. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Compared with micro-PCNL to treat kidney stones, RIRS is associated with better stone clearance and bearing higher hemoglobin loss. As the advantages of both technologies have been shown in some fields, the continuation of well-designed clinical trials may be necessary.

Background: Inguinal herniorrhaphy is a common general surgical operation. The repair of recurrent hernia is difficult surgery due to obscured and distorted anatomy and risk of further recurrence. The aim of this study is to determine the outcome in terms of operative time, hospital stay, return to work, complications and recurrence of open pre-peritoneal repair for recurrent inguinal hernias after Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty. Materials and Method: It is a prospective observational study conducted at Western Regional Hospital, Pokhara from 2013 to 2016. A total of eight patients including referred from other centers were included. Pre-peritoneal repair was performed on recurrent hernias after Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty. Age, sex, operating time, hospital stay, time to return work, postoperative complications and recurrence of patients were noted. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS- 21. Patients were called for follow up in 2 weeks, 3 months and 12 months time. Results: Out of eight patients, seven were male, one was female with mean age of 59.5 years. Recurrence was common on direct inguinal hernia (six patients) who had previous Lichtenstein hernioplasty. Mean operative time was 43.13 minutes (35 to 50 minutes), mean hospital stay was 2.5 days (2 to 4 days) and mean time to return to work was 8.12 days (7 to 10 days). There was hematoma formation in one patient. Conclusion: Pre-peritoneal mesh repair is easy, safe, with less operative time, short hospital stay, low recurrence and complication rate for recurrent inguinal hernia after Lichtenstein hernioplasty.

Introduction: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a tension-free mesh repair that is based on pre-peritoneal approach of repair. It provides mechanical advantage to the surgeon, by being able to place a large piece of mesh and by using the natural force of the abdominal wall to disperse the intra-abdominal pressure over a large area to support the mesh. This retrospective study is aimed to study the demography of inguinal hernia and to compare operating time, complications and postoperative pain between patients undergoing Total Extrapritoneal (TEP) or Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair.Methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted in patients with inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic repair by either TEP or TAPP, between April 2019 to July 2020 at Nobel Medical Collage Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Morang. Age, sex, type of hernia, duration of operation, post-operative complications, severity of pain and duration hospital stay were analyzed between two groups of patients undergoingsurgery by either TEP or TAPP.Results: One hundred and five patients underwent either TEP or TAPP during study period. There were 96 males and 9 females. There were 50 patients with right, 40 with left and 6 patients with bilateral inguinal hernia. Four patients had left sided irreducible inguinal hernia, 2 patients had bilateral recurrent inguinal hernia, 2 patients had right sided recurrent inguinal hernia and 1 patient had left sided recurrent inguinal hernia.There was significant difference in duration of operation (TEP 64.43min) / (TAPP 84.46min), p<0. 001. Total duration of hospital stay and postoperative pain were not significant between patients operated with TEPor TAPP. Accidental pneumoperitoneum was noticed in 8 cases, 10 cases of subcutaneous emphysema, 5 cases of seroma and 1 case of scrotal hematoma in TEP group. In TAPP group scrotal hematoma occurred in 4 cases and seroma in 5 cases which was not significantly different from TEP group.Conclusion: TAPP had significantly longer operating time as compared to TEP. However, there was no significant difference in post-operative pain and hospital stay in both group.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is rapidly becoming a popular method for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Many diseases of the chest can now be diagnosed by VATS due to ease of look and biopsy. Hence the present study was undertaken to determine diagnostic and therapeutic utility of VATS in different chest pathologies.Methods: In this prospective study, total 36 patients of different age group were subjected to VATS procedure, to measured operative time, intra and post- operative complications, post-operative pain and hospital stay. Then patient was followed up at 15 days, at 1 month, 3 month and at 6 months.Results: VATS was successfully carried out in 28 patients as the only procedure whereas 8 patients required conversion to thoracotomy. Average operative time for patients operated by VATS only was 94.9 minute and for patients operated by VATS converted to thoracotomy was 175.5 minute. Most common intraoperative complication was bleeding (16.66 %) followed by anaphylactic shock observed in only one patient. Most common postoperative complication was prolonged air leak (5.55%) followed by port site infection (2.77%) and postoperative bleeding (2.77%). At 24 hours postoperatively, average pain score observed in VATS group was 3.73 and in thoracotomy group was 6.28. The mean postoperative hospital stay for patients operated by VATS was 7.28 days and for patients operated by VATS converted to thoracotomy was 10.36 days. There was significant difference observed in diagnosis of various chest pathologies by radiological investigations and VATS.Conclusions: VATS should be offered as the first approach to various chest pathologies requiring surgical intervention and preferred over thoracotomy when feasible.

Background: Ideal method for modern hernia surgery should be simple, cost effective, safe, tension free and permanent. The Lichtenstein operation to a great extent achieves this entire goal. The Lichtenstein mesh repair is associated with complications, postoperative dysfunction and high cost composite meshes. Desarda's technique, became a new surgical option for tissue-based inguinal hernia repair. The present study was designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and complications of the Desarda’s repair with Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair for treatment of inguinal hernia in a developing country.Methods: 200 patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia were selected. Included patients were randomly divided into two groups. Studied parameters were Duration of surgery, intra operative complications, post-operative Pain, Duration of hospital stay, return to normal activities, post-operative complications and recurrences.Results: There were a total of 100 patients each group. There was no statistically significant difference in duration of surgery and complication rate between the two groups. Difference in mean VAS was not statistically significant. The mean hospital stay in Desarda’s technique was 2.5 days while it was 2.6 days in Lichtenstein’s group. The mean time to return to basic physical activity in the Desarda’s technique was 12.6 days while it was 13.3 days in the Lichtenstein’s group. There were no recurrences in either group. Chronic inguinal pain (>1month) was more frequent in Lichtenstein’s group.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in duration of surgery, intra operative complication rate, post-operative pain, complications and recurrence, between Desarda’s technique and Lichtenstein’s technique. However chronic inguinal pain is less in Desarda’s technique. Desarda’s repair must be considered in young patients (<30 years). Its long-term efficacy needs to be studied with larger, prospective double-blind randomized trials, with longer follow-up.
