Objective: The objectives of the study are to compare the outcome of the Doppler Guided Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation andopen Haemorrhoidectomy in 2nd & 3rd Degree Haemorrhoids. Study design: Comparative study. Place and duration of study: Study wascarried out at the General Surgical Department at Liaquat University Hospital, Jamshoro & private hospital Hyderabad from 2008 – 2009.Methodology: Study consisted of 50 patients of diagnosed cases of heamorrhoid. Patients were divided in two groups. In Group A Standardopen Haemorrhoidectomy and Group B we used Doppler Guided Haemorrhoidal artery ligation. Detailed history was taken from all the patientswith special regard to the bleeding per rectum or some thing coming out during defecation and Clinical examination of anal canal DRE andProctoscopy was done. Results: In both groups male were 37 (74%) and female 13 (26%) with male: Female Ratio of 2:8:1. Age ranging from20 to 60 years in both group, mean ages of patients were 38.28 + 10.355 years. 3rd degree haemorrhoid 31(62%) while 2nd degree 19(38%).Complications were mild to moderate pain 24(96%) patients in DG – HAL group while moderate to severe pain 23(92%) in excisionalheamorrhoidectomy group. Anal stenosis in 2(8%), patients, anal fissure 1(4%) patients and feacal incontinence 1(4%) patients were observedonly in excisional heamorrhoidectomy. Recurrence occurred in one case (4%) in each group. Conclusions: DG – HAL procedure has a low rateof complications, earlier mobilization, implies a shorter hospital stay and offers the patient a more comfortable postoperative period thanExcisional heamorrhoidectomy procedure.

Objective: To compare the results of Inguinal Hernia repair using commonly employed methods of Bassini’s and Mesh repair. Methodology: This study included 90 cases of hernia repair ranging over a period of 18 months from October 2008 to Mar 2010 at Social Security Hospital Lahore. All the cases were done by the consultants and senior surgeons. The methods of repair included Bassini’s and Hernioplasty with Prosthetic mesh. Results: Out of 90 patients, 88 were males (97.78%) and 02 were females (2.22%). Male – female ratio 45 : 1. The peak incidence was found in 3rd and 4th decades of life. 56(62.22%) had Rt.sided Inguinal hernia, 29 (32.22%) had Lt. sided and 5(5.56%) had bilateral Inguinal hernia. 72 patients (80%) had Indirect Inguinal hernia, 17 (18.89%) had direct inguinal hernia while 1(1.11%) had both types. All the cases were done under Spinal anaesthesia. The Bassini’s repair was performed in 50% cases, using non-absorble no. 1 Prolene interrupted suturing (Group- A). In the Group – B, 50% cases underwent Hernioplasty with prosthetic prolene mesh 6x11 cms. Post-operative follow up was done for a period of 01 year. In the group- A, 3 (6.67%) patients had recurrence and 3 (6.67%) had infection of the wound. In group – B, 01 patient (2.22%) got infected and none of the cases did not get recurrence over a period of 01 year. Conclusions: Hernioplasty with prosthetic mesh is a better treatment modality for inguinal hernia repair to get a low recurrence rate.

Objective: To compare laparoscopic TEP Inguinal hernioplasty with & withoutdissection balloon. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Minimal Invasive SurgicalCentre Jamshoro and General Surgical Department at Dow University Hospital, Ojha CampusKarachi. Period: May 2011 and Dec 2012. Subjects and methods: Twenty (20) male patientswith uncomplicated unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia were prospectively randomized in twogroups; group A Commercially available dissection balloon & group B. Telescopic dissectionfor creating TEP working space. Results: We had 20 male patients for this study. The averageage was 43.6 & ranging between 17 to 64 years. Only 2 patients 10% had bilateral groin hernia,4 patients 40% had direct inguinal hernia in group A & 5 patients 50% had direct hernia in groupB. Peritoneum was breached in 5 (50%) patients with telescopic dissection. One patient (10%)with bilateral groin hernia in group B had large tear in peritoneum converted to TAPP whileother group normal. The incidence of scrotal edema/seroma was greater in group B then groupA. 40% patient in group B developed seroma while 0nly 1 (10%) patient with bilateral groinhernia in group A developed seroma. Pain was scored on VAS at 1 & 4 hours after surgerywas higher in group B. The mean operation time was 55 min (45-100) in the group with theballoon and 73 min (50-120) in the group without the balloon (p = 0.004). Conclusion: TEPlaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is probably the best option amongst the two techniquesused in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair & dissection with balloon is though costly but morehelpful in dissection & safer.

Background: Few studies have investigated the use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for cecal tumors extending into the appendiceal orifice. Herein, we assessed the feasibility and safety of ESD for cecal tumors extending into the appendiceal orifice. Methods: We retrospectively examined the outcomes of ESD for 78 patients with 78 cecal tumors (male/female ratio, 40/38; mean [standard deviation, SD] age, 67 [9] years; mean [SD] tumor size, 32 [15] mm), who underwent ESD at the Hiroshima University Hospital between October 2008 and March 2016. The indication for ESD in cecal tumors extending into the appendiceal orifice was recognition of the distal edge of the lesion in the appendix. They were classified into two groups: patients with cecal tumors extending (Group A: 29 patients, 29 tumors) and not extending (Group B: 49 patients, 49 tumors) into the appendiceal orifice. We compared the outcomes of ESD between both groups. Results: No significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics were observed between both groups. The rate of severe submucosal fibrosis in Group A (48%) was significantly higher than that in Group B (24%) ( p < 0.05). The mean (SD) procedure speed in Group A (14 [10] mm2/min) was significantly slower than that in Group B (23 [16] mm2/min) ( p < 0.01). The en bloc resection rates in Groups A and B were 90% and 96%, respectively. There were no significant differences in adverse events reported between both groups. Conclusions: ESD for cecal tumors with extension into the appendiceal orifice is effective and safe.

Abstract Introduction Management of complicated diverticulitis has shifted towards a conservative approach over time. This study evaluates the feasibility and long-term outcomes of conservative management. Method We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series of patients managed with perforated colonic diverticulitis from 2013-2017. Results Seventy-three (73) patients were included with a male to female ratio of 1:2. Thirty-one (31) underwent Hartmann’s procedure (Group A) and 42 patients were managed with antibiotics +/- radiological drainage (Group B). Mean follow-up was 64.9 months (range 3-7 years). CT Grade 3 and 4 disease was observed in 64.5% and 40.4% of Group A and Group B patients, respectively. During follow-up, 9 (21.4%) Group B patients required Hartmann’s. Group A had longer median length of stay compared to Group B (25.1 vs 9.2 days). Post-operative complications occurred in 80.6% with 40% being Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher in group A. Stoma reversal was performed in 8 patients (25.8%). Conclusions In carefully selected cases, complicated diverticulitis including CT grade 3 and 4 disease, can be managed conservatively with acceptable recurrence rates (16.7% at 30 days, 4.8% at 90 days, 19.0% at 5 years). Surgical intervention on the other hand, carries high post-operative complication rates and low stoma reversal rates.

Objective: Comparative outcome of one versus two drains insertion for in the term of seroma formation following modified radical mastectomy in breast carcinoma. Methodology: This Prospective Interventional trial was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad from February 2018 to January 2019.  Females with breast carcinoma admitted for modified radical mastectomy were included. Patients were divided into two groups.  Groups I underwent one drain placement and group II underwent two drains placement. All patients were observed to measure and record the volume of the fluid. Patients were discharged from Hospital in stable condition and after removal of drains, and followed up weekly for one month. Data was recorded on self-made proforma and analyzed by using SPSS-20. Results: Total of 80 patients were selected, 38 in group A and 42 in group B. Mean age of patients of group A was 49.08 ± 9.89 years and group B was 51.40 ± 13.59 years. , Excised Mass weight was lesser in group A as compared to group B. Mean volume of drain discharge was significantly higher in Group B 323.43 ± 158.88 ml, while it was in group A 230.29± 200.98, findings were statistically significant 0.013. Seroma formation was statistically insignificant among both groups as 8(21.1%) in group A and   10(23.8%) in group B, p-value 0.768. Conclusion: One-drain and two-drain insertion are equally effective to reduce the seroma formation after modified radical mastectomy; however, one drain insertion leads to more patient compliance and comfort with probably less morbidity and cost.

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. It is the third most common malignancy after lung & breast and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for approximately 1,400,000 new cases and about 700,000 deaths worldwide. Objectives The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the epidemiology, clinicopathologic features, different treatment modalities and outcomes regarding disease free survival (DFS), progression free survival (PFS) & overall survival (OS) of colorectal cancer disease between cases presented to Ain shams university hospital & to Luxor international hospital in 3 consecutive years. Patients and Methods The study is retrospective comparative study. Clinical oncology department in Ain Shams University Hospital and Luxor International Hospital. The data Collected from January 2013 to December 2015. This study analyzed hospital records of patients who diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) and allocated into two groups: Group A: CRC patients presented to Ain-Shams University Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015, group B: CRC patients presented to Luxor International Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015. Results There was no statistically significant difference regarding age parameter in LIH when compared to ASU, but the study was consistent with higher incidence in patients who were aged more than forty- accounted about 70.5% in all CRC cases. Cases less than 40 years old, in group A were 35.2%, while in Group B were 23.5%. Even there was no statistically significant difference but it may be attributable to more westernization in Lower Egypt. Other explanation may be due to decreased low socioeconomic status and different lifestyle factors in more developing region what increase risk of colorectal cancer. Among our cases, there is no statistically significant difference regarding gender between the two hospitals. Both sexes almost were affected equally, females appeared to be at a slightly higher risk of developing CRC cancer with current prevalence 1.3:1 in ASU group, and 1.1:1 in LIH group. Conclusion The need to increase awareness about CRC in Egypt especially upper Egypt, is recommended. An awareness campaign should be performed to promote detection of CRC at its earliest and most curable stage by recognizing early symptoms and enabling early referrals for colonoscopy. Those at higher risk should be offered more intensive surveillance. Similarity of the data from different centers suggests that this is the picture of colorectal cancer typical of Egypt.

The relationship between portal tributary blood flow (PBF) and hepatic arterial blood flow (HAF) was studied in awake, unrestrained rats with the radiolabeled microsphere technique. Six distinct patterns of response emerged. In group A (PBF+, HAF 0), ethanol, acetate, glucagon, prostacyclin, and a mixed diet increased PBF without a change in HAF; in group B (PBF+, HAF+), adenosine and histamine increased both PBF and HAF; in group C (PBF 0, HAF+), isoflurane and triiodothyronine did not change PBF but increased HAF; and in group D (PBF-, HAF+), halothane and vasopressin decreased PBF and increased HAF. Acute partial portal vein ligation decreased PBF (56%) and increased HAF (436%). Hypoxia (7.5% O2) decreased PBF (28%) and increased HAF (110%). In group E (PBF+, HAF-), acute hepatic artery ligation increased PBF (35%) and reduced HAF (74%), while in group F (PBF-, HAF-), thyroidectomy reduced PBF and HAF (36 and 47%, respectively). All blood flow responses were accompanied by the expected changes in both portal tributary and hepatic arterial vascular resistances. The data suggest that the portal and hepatic arterial vascular territories have regulatory mechanisms that allow for independent changes.

COVID-19 respiratory failure is a life-threatening condition. Oxygenation targets were evaluated in a non-ICU setting. In this retrospective, observational study, we enrolled all patients admitted to the University Hospital of Genoa, Italy, between 1 February and 31 May 2020 with an RT-PCR positive for SARS-CoV-2. PaO2, PaO2/FiO2 and SatO2% were collected and analyzed at time 0 and in case of admission, patients who required or not C-PAP (groups A and B) were categorized. Each measurement was correlated to adverse outcome. A total of 483 patients were enrolled, and 369 were admitted to hospital. Of these, 153 required C-PAP and 266 had an adverse outcome. Patients with PaO2 <60 and >100 had a higher rate of adverse outcome at time 0, in groups A and B (OR 2.52, 3.45, 2.01, respectively). About the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, the OR for < 300 was 3.10 at time 0, 4.01 in group A and 4.79 in group B. Similar odds were found for < 200 in any groups and < 100 except for group B (OR 11.57). SatO2 < 94% showed OR 1.34, 3.52 and 19.12 at time 0, in groups A and B, respectively. PaO2 < 60 and >100, SatO2 < 94% and PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 300 showed at least two- to three-fold correlation to adverse outcome. This may provide simple but clear targets for clinicians facing COVID-19 respiratory failure in a non ICU-setting.
