Objectives: To compare open hemorrhoidectomy and Rubber Band Ligation (RBL) in the management of 2nd and 3rd degree hemorrhoids in terms post operative and hospital stay. Design: Experiential Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of surgery, Allied Hospital and Independent University Hospital Faisalabad. Period: Dec 2008 to May 2009. Patients & Methods: 100 consecutive patients with second and third degree hemorrhoids were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (50 patients) were operated by open hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan morgan technique) while in group B (50 patients) rubber band ligations was performed. Open hemorrhoidectomy was performed under spinal anesthesia while rubber bands were applied with local xylocaine gel using Barron’s rubber band ligator. All the three hemorrhoids were ligated in single session. Results: Average hospital stay was 24 hours in patient operated by open hemorrhoidectomy as compared to one hour in rubber band ligation. 60% patients in group A developed moderate to severe pain requiring I/V morphine derivatives while 40% developed mild pain and treated with NSAIDS. In group B only 20% patients developed moderate pain and were dealt with I/M diclofenac sodium. Eightyeight percent patients in group A and 60% patients in group B developed mild to moderate bleeding in first postoperative week, which was self limiting. 6 patients developed severe bleeding after hemorrhoidectomy requiring blood transfusion. During six month follow up, two patients (4%) of open hemorrhoidectomy and 3 patients (6%) of RBL presented with recurrence and respective procedures were repeated. Conclusions: Rubber band ligation is safe, quick, economical and effective method for the treatment of 2nd and 3rd degree hemorrhoids.

Objective: To compare the outcome of two different procedures of non operative treatment of uncomplicated second degreehemorrhoids in terms of efficacy and patients compliance. Study Design: Prospective interventional. Controlled Phase II clinical trial. Setting& Duration: Surgical Unit DHQ (Teaching) Hospital Rawalpindi from 10th September 2004 to 20th May 2006. Methodology: Regardless ofage and sex, first hundred patients attending the out patients department of surgical unit, DHQ( Teaching) Hospital , Rawalpindi withuncomplicated second degree hemorrhoids after informed consent were enrolled in the trial. Patients were divided into two treatment groupsA&B with 50 patients in each by random draw sampling. Patients in Group A were subjected to injection sclerotherapy (SCL) whereas of GroupB, Rubber band ligation (RBL) was performed. Results: One hundred patients of mean age of 42.24 years with uncomplicated second degreehemorrhoids with standard deviation of + 13.63 years were enrolled in this study. Out of total one hundred patients, 62 were male and 38 werefemale. The major indications of treatment were bleeding per rectum and prolapse. Patients in Group A were subjected to Injectionsclerotherapy (SCL) and of Group B , Rubber band ligation (RBL) was performed. In Group A , 28 patients (56%) were symptoms free after 4-6weeks with single session of SCL , 16 patients (32%) required additional second session at eight week and 6 patients (12%) required thirdsession at 12 weeks respectively due to persistence of symptoms. In Group B , 44 patients (88%) were symptom free after four weeks withsingle session of RBL, while 6 patients (12%) required second session at 10 weeks to become symptom free. At 12 month follow-up 46 patients(92%) remain symptomfree and 4 patients (8%) had recurrence of symptoms in Group A and rubber band ligation was performed. All thepatients of Group B (RBL) remained symptom free. (P value=0.041). Conclusions: Rubber band ligation is a safe, effective, economical nonoperative treatment option for second degree uncomplicated hemorrhoids with good patients compliance.

Ligoniai ir metodai Nuo 2007 m. sausio 1 d. iki 2007 m. liepos 25 d. buvo gydyta 40 asmenų, sergančių I ir II laipsnio hemorojumi, t. y. tokie, kurių hemorojaus mazgai neiškrinta arba iškrinta tuštinantis ir savaime grįžta. Tiriamajam buvo siūloma dalyvauti tyrime, o jam sutikus išankstinės atsitiktinės atrankos būdu buvo priskirtas perrišimo guminiais žiedais arba konservatyvaus gydymo grupei. Po keturių savaičių nuo paskutinės perrišimo procedūros ligonis buvo apklausiamas ir apžiūrimas. Konservatyvaus gydymo grupės ligoniams buvo skiriamas standartinis konservatyvus gydymas – skaidulų turinti dieta, žvakutės Posterisan Forte, Detralex tabletės. Po keturių savaičių ligoniai atvyko pakartotinei apžiūrai. Po keturių savaičių nuo vaistų vartojimo pabaigos ligonis buvo apklausiamas ir apžiūrimas. Duomenys apdorojami EpiInfo programa (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo). Skirtumas tarp grupių buvo vertinamas kaip statistiškai reikšmingas, kai p vertė buvo mažesnė už 0,05. Rezultatai Tyrime dalyvavo 40 asmenų (23 moterys ir 17 vyrų, vidutinis amžius 45,8 metų (nuo 28 iki 73 m.), sirgusių I laipsnio (n = 13, 32,5%) ir II laipsnio (n = 27, 77,5%) hemorojumi. Demografinių ir ligos simptomų skirtumų tarp gydymo grupių nebuvo. Vertindami gydymo metodų poveikį kraujavimui nustatėme, kad perrišimas guminiais žiedais sėkmingiau panaikino kraujavimo simptomus, taip pat pastebėjome tendenciją, kad efektyviau sumažinamas ar panaikinamas iškritimas (14 ligonių po gydymo guminiais žiedais ir 9 ligoniai po konservatyvaus gydymo, p = 0,1). Mūsų tyrime gydymas guminiais žiedais dažniau sukeldavo nedidelių komplikacijų (p < 0,001) – greitai praeinantį silpnumą, neintensyvų skausmą, trunkantį vidutiniškai 2 dienas (nuo 1 iki 4 dienų). Pasitaikė viena pavojinga komplikacija po gydymo guminiais žiedais – praėjus 8 paroms po procedūros ligonis pradėjo gausiai tuštintis krauju ir krešuliais, išsivystė kolapsas ir ligonį teko operuoti – persiūti kraujuojančią vietą. Abu gydymo metodus ligoniai vertino vienodai ir taip pat vienodai rinktųsi tuos pačius gydymo būdus. Išvada Hemorojaus gydymas perrišant guminiais žiedais yra veiksmingesnis negu konservatyvus gydymas flavonoidais, vietiniais preparatais ir skaidulomis, tačiau sukeliantis daugiau komplikacijų. Būtina tirti vėlesnius šios studijos rezultatus, kad būtų nustatytas ilgalaikis abiejų gydymo metodų, ypač konservatyvaus gydymo, efektyvumas. Pacientus informavus apie nemalonius pojūčius gydant hemorojų guminiais žiedais, pasitenkinimas gydymu yra geras. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: hemorojus Randomized controlled trial of rubber band ligation vs. conservative treatment for first and second degree haemorrhoids Tomas Poškus1,  Kęstutis Strupas21 Vilnius University Hospital "Santariškių Clinics", Central Branch,III Department of Abdominal Surgery, Žygimantų str. 3, LT-01102 Vilnius, Lithuania2 Vilnius University Hospital "Santariškių Clinics", Clinic of Gastroenterology,Nefrourology and Surgery, Santariškių str. 2, LT-08660 Vilnius, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] Objective To compare the conservative treatment and invasive treatment in 1st and 2nd degree haemorrhoids. Patients and methods 40 patients with first and second degree haemorrhoids were treated from January 1 to July 25, 2007. They complained of either non-prolapsing or prolapsing and spontaneously reducing haemorrhoids. The patients were offered to participate in the study, and with their approval they were randomized to the rubber band ligation or the conservative treatment groups. Four weeks following the last treatment the patients were investigated. Patients in the conservative treatment group were prescribed a standard conservative treatment: fiber addition with wheat, Posterisan Forte suppositories, and Detralex tablets. Four weeks after the end of treatment the patients were investigated and the last questionnaire was filled in. Statistical analysis was performed using Epi Info software (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo). The differences between the groups were statistically significant when the p value was less than 0.05. Results 40 patients (23 female and 17 male) were included in the study, mean age 45.8 years (28–73) with first degree (n = 13, 32.5%) and second degree (n = 27, 77.5%) haemorrhoids. There were no differences between the groups as regards the demographic and clinical data. Rubber band ligation, in our experience, was more effective than conservative treatment in treating bleeding, and we also noted the tendency to better abolish prolapse (14 patients after rubber band ligation and 9 patients after conservative treatment had the disappearance of prolapse, (p = 0.1). Rubber band ligation gave more minor, self-limiting complications (p < 0,001) – minor pain for on average two (1–4) days, vasovagal effects. We encountered one severe complication: 8 days after rubber band ligation, the patient presented hypotensive with massive rectal bleeding; he was admitted to the hospital and operated on, with oversewing the bleeding site. Both treatment methods were evaluated by the patients equally, and both methods would be repeated by the patients, if necessary. Conclusion Rubber band ligation is more effective than conservative treatment with flavonoids, suppositories and fibre, however, it is associated with more complications. Long-term results of both treatment methods, especially after conservative tratment, should be evaluated. When the patients are informed adequately before the procedure, satisfaction with both methods of treatment is equal. Key words: haemorrhoids

Background: Thyroid lobectomy is a common operative technique of management of benign solitary thyroid nodules in which drains are used routinely. Objective of this study to compare the outcome of thyroid lobectomies undergone with and without drains in patients of benign solitary thyroid nodules.Methods: A comparative cross-sectional research was completed on 98 patients of benign solitary thyroid nodules at surgery department of Liaquat University Hospital Jamshoro. Patients having age of 18-60 years underwent thyroid lobectomies were included and distributed in two groups A and B. Group A includes thyroid lobectomies with drain and Group B without drain. Postoperative outcomes including pain score assessed via visual analog score (VAS), hospital stay and complications including wound infection, seroma and hematoma.Results: Out of 98 cases, 49 underwent thyroid lobectomy with drain and 49 without a drain. Females patients were in majority in group A 42 (85.7%) and also in group B 47 (95.9%). No significant difference (p-value=0.674) was in mean age of group A 30.8±10.2 years and group B 31.8±12.2 years. Higher mean with significant difference (p-value=0.001) was in pain score of group A 5.61±1.25 as compared to group B 3.55±0.70. No significant difference was in complications; seroma 1 (2.04%) vs 5 (10.20%), hematoma 1 (2.04%) vs 1 (2.04%) and infection 3 (6.12%) vs 0 (0.0%) in group A and B respectively. Higher mean with significant difference (p-value=0.001) was in hospital stay of group A 2.40±1.57 days as compared to group B 1.42±0.54 days. No significant difference (p-value=0.748) was in overall rate of complications in group A 5 (10.20%) and B 6 (12.24%).Conclusions: Thyroid lobectomy with drain is not effective in lowering the postoperative complications whereas enhanced the risk of postoperative pain, wound infection and duration of hospital stay as compared to thyroid lobectomy without a drain.

Background: the study was conducted to analyze the efficacy of 0.75% ropicaine at perianal block for open haemrrhoidectomy with regards to pain intensity, first demand of analgesia and hospital stay. Method: 50 patients were selected for open haemrrhoidectomy under GA which were divided into two groups.it was a randomized control trial in which sealed envelope method was used for the group delegation in which Group A was designated to the patients having the perianal block with 0.75% ropivacaine while the group B was the placebo group having normal saline injected in the perianal region. The variables compared were the first demand of analgesia, pain intensity and the duration of the hospital stay. In order to make the site of injection more authentic the injections were sited under ultrasound guidance. Results: The pain intensity which was analyzed with the visual analogue score (VAS) had a median of 3.8 (high=6, low=3) in group A while 5.5 (high=8, low=4) in the Group B with the p value of < 0.05. The mean time recorded for the first demand of analgesia was 6.20 ± 1.20 hours in the Group A which had improved from 1.20 ± 1.0 hours in the Placebo Group while the p value was < 0.001, while the mean time of hospital stay got reduced from 22.5±3.30 hours to 12.4 ± 3.10 hours with the significant p value of < 0.002. Conclusion: It was observed that with preemptive analgesia with 0.75% ropivacaine administered led to a substantial reduction in pain perception, request for an analgesic and hospital stay. Therefore it is appropriate to administer it before open hemorrhoidectomy. Keywords: preemptive anaesthesia, local anesthesia, postoperative pain, ropivacaine, open hemorrhoidectomy

Abstract Aim: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the commonest surgical emergency worldwide. The diagnosis usually is clinical but imaging and bloods tests are helpful. The study aims to establish the role of abnormalities in liver function tests (LFTs) in the diagnosis and in predicting the severity of AA. Methods Retrospective, observational study performed in district general hospital between June 2018 and June 2019. Patients with abdominal pain and appendicectomy (excluding children &lt;16 years with isolated ALP rise) were categorized into two groups based on presence (Group-A) or absence (Group-B) of abnormal LFTs. Demographics data, diagnosis and severity of appendicitis, hospital stay and postoperative complications were analysed. Results Two hundred and seventy nine patients were included: Group-A (n = 146, mean age 37.5 years, M: F 1.3/1.0) and Group-B (n = 133, mean age 29.7 years, M:F 1.0/1.8). Appendicitis occurred in 85.6% of Group-A (125/146) and in 62.4% (83/133) of Group-B with positive predictive value 85.6%. The appendix was normal in 14.4% of Group-A (21/146) and in 37.6% of Group-B (50/133) with specificity of 70%. Laparotomy was required in 6.1% in Group-A (9/146) compared to 1.5% in Group-B (2/133). Average hospital stay was 4.7 days (range: 1-21) in Group-A versus 2.7 days (range 1-14) in Group-B. Readmission rate due to a postoperative complication was 16.4% in Group-A (24/146) compared to 6% in Group-B (8/ 133). Conclusion: Deranged LFTs is an additional diagnostic tool in AA and a good predictor of its severity. This may help to decrease the negative appendicectomy rate and guide surgeon in the decision-making process.

Introduction: In surgical practice, hiatal hernias are often related to gastro esophageal reflux disease treatment in which continuous proton pump inhibitor administration is very successful. In large hiatal hernias, life threatening complications may occur. However, planned surgical repair of hiatal hernias is associated with very good functional outcomes with a low risk of postoperative complications. The incidence of large hiatal hernias grows with increasing age of the patient. In geriatric patients, internal comorbidities are also more frequent, including serious conditions. In these patients, one may hesitate whether to perform surgery with regard to the possible risk of postoperative complications. Conservative treatment of hiatal hernias is associated with a higher risk of stomach volvulus or severe bleeding as the most frequent complications. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients operated on for a large hiatal hernia at the Department of Surgery, University Hospital Brno, between 2010 and 2016 (86 months). The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the type of operation: acute (A) and elective (B). We evaluated demographic data, the nature of preoperative symptoms, type of surgery and postoperative complications. Results: 120 patients were operated on for large hiatal hernia in this period of time. Group A involved 22 operated patients, group B 98 patients. There was a significantly higher number of laparotomies in the acute patient group compared to the elective group B (72.7 % vs. 23.5%, p<0.0001). Average surgery duration was longer in group A than in group B (133.8 minutes vs. 109.8 minutes). Postoperative complications were significantly more frequent in group A. They were also more severe and combined in a single patient. One death occurred in group A, in group B no patient died. Preoperative symptom analysis revealed a statistically significantly higher incidence of vomiting and breathing difficulties in group A. In group B, regurgitation and pyrosis were present with a significantly higher frequency. Conclusion: In small hiatal hernias, the rate of complication occurrence is low. With growing size of the hernias, the risk of potentially life threaten- ing acute complication increases. Stomach volvulus and severe bleeding in particular are the most frequent complications of hiatal hernias. Acute operations are associated with a significantly higher risk of postoperative complications than elective procedures. Surgical repair of hiatal hernia should be indicated in all symptomatic patients with a large hiatal hernia. In patients without clinical symptoms, surgical repair of hernia is recom- mended if there are no significant internal contraindications to surgery.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate effect of collagenase ointment and povidone-iodine on non-healing ulcer in the form of duration of ulcer covered with red granulation tissue and total hospital stay.Methods: The Study was conducted on 80 patients admitted in Surgery Department, SSG Hospital and Medical College Baroda, Gujarat, India during November 2006 to October 2008. All ulcers due to trauma, chronic ulcer or infected ulcer following debridement and incision and drainage were included in this study. In group A were wounds dressed in collagenase ointment and in group B were wounds dressed in povidone-iodine ointment till second surgery or complete healing. All data from both groups were collected and analyzed by chi-square test.Results: In this study, there was no difference in age distribution (p=0.62, p>0.05) with similar male to female ratio in both groups and also no significant difference in distribution of wounds size in both groups (p=0.92, p>0.05). Average size of wound in group A was 43 sq. cm and group B was 44 sq. cm. The significant difference was seen on floor of ulcer by healthy granulation which came on an average of within 11days in group A and within 18 days in group B (p=0.005, p<0.05). There was also a significant difference in average hospital stay, which was 25 days in group A and 35 days in group B (p=0.01, p<0.05).Conclusions:Collagenase ointment is clinically more efficient as a topical dressing and lowers the morbidity by reducing the hospital stay and the duration of dressing by promoting healing in non-healing wounds than povidine-iodine ointment.

Background: Hernia derived from the Latin word, is a protrusion of a viscus or part of a viscus through an abnormal opening in the walls of its containing cavity. Objectives of present study were to evaluate sublay Vs onlay meshplasty in incisional and ventral hernia and to compare and determine duration of operation and hospital stay, post-operative complications and recurrences.Methods: The study was conducted at Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital, DPU University, for a period of 2 years (from July 2015 - September 2017) and is a prospective and comparative randomized type of study using 100 cases (Group A Onlay and Group B Sublay - 50 each). The study was approved by the Institute’s Ethics Committee.Results: 100 patients were operated in our study. In group B, the mean operative time [70.72±18.56], and in group A mean operative time (50.96±12.61). The duration of hospital stay was an of average 7.62±1.78 days in group B, and an average hospital stay of 8.84±1.89 in group A. Suture site infection was18%. group A (26%) and group B (12%). Seroma was seen in 5 patients, group A (8 %) and in group B (2%). Flap necrosis was 8% in group A and in 6% in group B. 10 patients had wound dehiscence, group A (14%) and group B (6%). 4 patients were reported with mesh infection (6%) in group A and (2%) in group B. Recurrence was 1% group A.Conclusions: Sublay meshplasty is good alternative to onlay meshplasty that may be applicable to all forms of ventral and incisional hernias. The mesh related complication rate and recurrence was found to be minimal.

Background: In the whole world including India, incidence of infected wounds is increasing day by day. Trauma is the most common cause of wounds and number of other factors contribute to wound infection there on. Wound management and care thus carry an important role for such patients in the form of dressings, debridement etc. Many conventional dressings are being used these days, but vacuum assisted closure (VAC) dressing as widely gained acceptance now.Methods: Our study was conducted on 60 patients divided in 2 groups of 30 each to compare VAC dressing with conventional dressings.Results: There was significant difference in total hospital stay, no. of debridement done, granulation tissue fill up and graft take up in both groups, for example, the average hospital stay in group A was 21.8±7.61 and in group B was 26.47±9.55.Conclusions: So, VAC dressing was found to be more beneficial and patient friendly with lesser hospital stay and thus lesser cost than conventional dressings.
