Introduction: Appendicitis is one of the most common cause of an acuteabdomen in young adults. Open appendectomy (OA) has been the gold standard for thetreatment of acute appendicitis since its introduction by Charles McBurney in 1889.Laproscopicappendectomy (LA) was first performed by Semn in 1983.After its introduction laparoscopicappendectomy (LA) proved to be a feasible and safe procedure. Objective: To compare theoutcome of Open appendectomy and Laparoscopic appendectomy in terms of mean visualanalogue score of postoperative pain and mean operative duration in the treatment of acuteappendicitis. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Punjab Medical College andaffiliated Hospitals, Faisalabad. Duration: Study was carried out for one year from 01-01-2016to 31-12-2016. Subjects and Method: A total of 70 patients with Appendicitis were includedin the study. All patients were diagnosed clinically and confirmed with Laboratory findings. 35patients underwent open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy was used in 35.Outcome in terms of pain and operating time was compared in both groups. Results: Meanage in group A was 27.74 years with a standard deviation of 12.040. Mean age of patients ingroup B was 29.26 years with a standard deviation of 12.650. Post-Operative pain using VisualAnalog Scale was 7.34±2.014 in group A and 3±1.94 in group B. Operative duration in groupA was 42.33±4.25(minutes) and group B had a duration of 34.48±3.5(minutes). Conclusion:Outcome of Laparoscopic appendectomy is better than open appendectomy in terms of painand operative duration in patients undergoing Appendectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy is more expensive and time consuming as compared to open technique. On the other hand, laparoscopic assisted appendectomy has the advantages of both the open and laparoscopic methods.Methods: This was a prospective comparative study of patients that underwent appendectomy by laparoscopic or laparoscopic assisted techniques.Results: A total of 40 patients were selected for the study. Standard laparoscopic technique was performed in 20 patients and laparoscopic assisted appendectomy was performed in 20 patients. The average operating time was 25.4±15 minutes in laparoscopic assisted appendectomy while it was 46.20±10.90 minutes in standard laparoscopic appendectomy which was statistically significant. Mean hospital stay in group A was 2.70±0.70 and in group B it was 2.10±0.70 which was not statistically significant.Conclusions: The laparoscopic-assisted method of appendix removal can be performed as efficiently as laparoscopically. It is fast and easy to perform, and it is expected to decrease the overall cost of laparoscopic appendectomy.

Appendectomy is the most common surgical procedure performed in surgicalemergency. The advent of minimal invasive surgery has massively influenced the field of surgery.Laparoscopic surgery might offer clinical benefits in perforated and complicated appendicitis.Objective: To compare laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy as treatment ofcomplicated appendicitis in terms of mean requirement of post-operative analgesia, operativetime and hospital stay. Study design: Randomized control trial. Setting: All subjects for thestudy were recruited from Department of Surgery, Independent University Hospital, Faisalabad.Duration: The duration of study was of 6 months duration from February 2012 to august 2012.Results: In this study the divided into two groups, group A for open appendectomy (OA)and group B for Laparoscopic Appendectomy (LA). Both groups had 43 patients each. Theoperating time for open appendectomy group A had mean operating time 37.21 minutes .Thehospital stay in OA group was 2.63 days. The mean dosage of analgesia requirement was 258mg of diclofenac. The operating time for open appendectomy group A had mean operatingtime 39.16 minutes. The hospital stay in OA group was 2.95 days. The mean dosage of was258.14 mg of diclofenac. Conclusion: Our study concludes that both approaches laparoscopicand open approach have proved to be similar in terms of post-operative hospital stay, operatingtime and analgesia requirement. Where as LA is superior in terms of cosmesis and surgicalsite infection. Further studies with more number of patients are recommended to asscess thebenefits of laparoscopic approach in complicated appendicitis.

Objective: To compare the clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) with continuous indwelling catheterization (CIDC) in relieving acute urinary retention (AUR) due to benign enlargement of prostate (BEP). Materials and Methods :A total 60 patients attending in urology department of Dhaka Medical college hospital were included according to inclusion criteria ,Patients were randomized by lottery into two groups namely group –A and group –B for CISC and IDC drainage respectively . Thus total 60 patients 30 in each group completed study. Results : Most men can safely be managed as out-patients after AUR due to BPH. The degree of mucosal congestion and inflammation within the bladder was found to be lower in those using CISC and the bladder capacity in these patients was also found higher.Patients with an IDC had a high incidence of UTIs then that of patients with CISC. During the period of catheterization the incidence of UTI was 43.3% in group B in comparison to 40% in group A; before TURP 36% in group B in comparison to 10% incidence in group A.According to patient’s opinion CISC is better than IDC in the management of AUR. Experiencing bladder spasm, reporting blood in urine, management difficulties, incidence and severity of pain were less in CISC group, and the method of CISC was well accepted by patients as well as their family members. Conclusion: From the current study it may be suggested that CISC is better technique for management of AUR patient due to BPH than IDC. It can also be very helpful when surgery must be delayed or avoided due to any reasons in this group of patients. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 21, No. 2, July 2018 p.105-110

Pathological changes in the prostate gland occur commonly with advancing age including inflammation, atrophy, hyperplasia and carcinoma and a change in volume is also evident. Estimation of volume of prostate may be useful in a variety of clinical settings. A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed to see the changes in volume of the prostate with advancing age and done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from August 2006 to June 2007. The study was performed on 70 post-mortem human prostates collected from the unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three age groups; group A (10-20 years), group B (21-40 years) and group C (41-70 years). Volume of the sample was measured by using the ellipsoid formula. The mean ± SD volume of prostate was 7.68 ± 3.64 cm3 in group A, 10.61 ± 3.99 cm3 in group B and 15.40 ± 6.31 cm3 in group C. Mean difference in volume between group A and group C, group B and group C were statistically significant (p<0.001). Statistically significant positive correlation was found between age and volume of prostate (r = + 0.579, p < 0.001). Key Words: Prostate; volume; Bangladeshi. DOI: 10.3329/imcj.v4i2.6501Ibrahim Med.

Objective : The present prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out to assess whether combined cefepime and amikacin as empirical antibiotic therapy was more effective than combined ceftriaxone and gentamicin in the treatment of febrile neutropenic children with malignant diseases.Material & Methods : The study was conducted in the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology unit of BSMMU over a period of 2 years. (From January 2006 to December 2007) Hospitalised pediatric cancer patients who developed febrile neutropenia following chemotherapy or radiotherapy were the study population. A total 64 cases were consecutively included in the study and were randomly assigned to either cefepime & amikacin group (Group- A) or ceftriaxone & gentamicin group (Group-B). The Group-A received cefepime 1500 mg/m2/dose infused over 15 minutes in two divided doses intravenously(IV) while amikacin was administered as thrice daily dose of 200 mg/m2/dose. Patients of Group-B received ceftriaxone 1500 mg/m2/dose in two divided doses and gentamicin 60 mg/m2/dose thrice daily IV. The therapy was continued until absolute neutrophil counts reached >1000 neutrophils/mm3. The treatment outcome was considered successful if fever resolves within 4 days and does not recur within 7 days of completion of therapy. Of the 64 patients, 13 cases were excluded from the final analysis.Results : Bacteria were isolated from culture in only 16.7% of cases Group-A and 9.5% of group-B. Patients E. coli was the most common isolate found in blood specimen (37%). Following intervention, 90% of cefepime & amikacin group and 85.6% of ceftriaxone & gentamicin group improved absolute neutrophil count to >1000/mm3 of blood. Persistence of fever after start of study drug and duration of antibiotic therapy were significantly less in the former group than those in later group (p = 0.049 and p = 0.004 respectively). Only 1 patient of group B had recurrence of infection within 7 days of treatment completion. The mean duration of hospital stay was less in the former group (7.97 ± 2.61 days) than that in the latter group (11.00 ± 3.42 days) (p = 0.06). Evaluation of final outcome shows that majority (86.6%) of cefepime & amikacin group had successful outcome, while majority of ceftriaxone & gentamicin group (81%) failed to resolve infection with continuation of fever for > 4 days.Conclusion : The study concluded that combined cefepime and amikacin is a better option for empirical treatment of fever and neutropenia in children with malignancies than combined ceftriaxone and gentamicin (p<0.001).Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.5(2) 2014: 329-331

Background: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide by otorhinolaryngologists for different indications. Tonsillectomy is often performed as day-case surgery, which increases the demands of a satisfactory postoperative pain control and a low risk of early postoperative bleeding. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the Monopolar diathermy and Dissection methods of tonsillectomy and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages during surgery, convalescence. Materials and Methods: Two hundred children were recruited for this study during the period of five years from January, 2014 to December, 2018 at Otolaryngology department of Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital (KYAMCH). Subjects between the age of 5 and 25 years listed for tonsillectomy were included. Subjects were recommended not to have aspirin within the 2 weeks before surgery. Results: The mean duration of operation was found 10.6±0.4 minutes in group A and 17.0±0.7 minutes in group B. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. At 1st day, 11(11.0%) patients had throat pain in group A and 23(23.0%) in group B. At 2nd day, 14(14.0%) patients had throat pain in group A and 25(25.0%) in group B. Which were statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Conclusion: The monopolar diathermy tonsillectomy appears to cause less bleeding, postoperative pain and less time consuming in compare with the dissection tonsillectomy although patients experience slightly more pain than dissection Method.

Background: Expectant management of severe preeclampsia, remote from term is often a difficult decision. Maternal and foetal complications may occur while trying to achieve a more favourable perinatal outcome. We wanted to find out the foetal and maternal outcomes of expectant management in these women.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Government Medical College, Thrissur, India between May 2013 and April 2015. Women with severe preeclampsia remote from term, who were admitted, managed expectantly and delivered in our hospital during the study period, were recruited. The study subjects were grouped into: Group A (between 28 weeks and 31 weeks 6 days) and Group B (between 32 weeks and 33 weeks 6 days). A structured proforma was used to collect demographic and clinical details. The maternal and foetal outcomes were noted.Results: There were 4786 deliveries during the study period. Among them 76 (1.58% of total deliveries) women with severe preeclampsia between 28 weeks and 33-week 6 days gestation on expectant management were included in the study. The mean duration of expectant management was 7.92 days in group A (27 women) and 6.67 days in group B (49 women). Most women required termination of pregnancy for foetal distress (36.8%). HELLP syndrome and imminent eclampsia were the maternal complications that occurred. Perinatal loss was significantly more in Group A when compared to Group B.Conclusions: Expectant management of women with severe preeclampsia remote from term, especially between 32weeks and 33weeks 6 days, with antenatal corticosteroids and close monitoring, seems a reasonable option in developing countries.

Objective: To compare the frequency of port site wound infection following gall bladder removal through umbilical and epigastric port in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Surgical Unit 2, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College, hospital Sukkur. Period: 1st November 2019 to 30th October 2020. Material & Methods: All cases who underwent four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in two groups. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia. As the last event of surgery gall bladder was retrieved in a glove bag through umbilical port in group A and through epigastric port in group B, both under direct camera vision. Wound infection was considered if there was 3 to 5 grade of wound according to Southampton wound grading system (Figure-1) on 5th postoperative day. All demographics and outcome variables were recorded. Results: Age ranged from 20 to 60 years with mean age of 38.875±8.11 years, BMI 29.973±5.12 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 50.656±8.41 mins and Southampton score was 1.044±1.07 in Group A and mean age of 38.560±6.23 years, BMI 27.437±5.04 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 48.920±8.67 mins and Southampton score was 0.856±0.92 in Group B. In group A, 18 (5.7%)patients developed port site wound infection in contrast to 5 (1.6%) patients in group B (P= 0.006). Conclusion: We conclude that epigastric port retrieval of gall bladder following laparoscopic cholecystectomy results in less port site infection.
