The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of umbilicus port site hernia after laparoscopic procedure. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Minimal Invasive Surgical Centre and General Surgery Department LUMHS Jamshoro. Period: March 2015 to February 2017. Materials and Methods: During these two years all the patients visiting surgery department for laparoscopic Procedure. All patients regardless of age and both were undergo base line investigation and preoperative anesthetics fitness done were included. We identified 539 cases that matched our inclusion criteria. 10mm trocar was used for umbilical side and closed with J shaped vicryl #1. After surgery, these patients were followed-up for two years and assessed regularly for complications. Results: In our setup, laparoscopic procedures were performed in 539 patients. There were 83.48% (n=450) females and 16.51% (n=89) males who had laparoscopic procedures done. Among these, there were 442 cholecystectomies, 43 appendicectomies and 54 diagnostic laparoscopies. The highest number of patients visiting for laparoscopic cholecystectomies belong to the age range of 31-40 years. In 82% of the cases laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed while in other cases laparoscopic appendicectomy and diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. After long term follow-up of these patients for a time period of two years, port site hernia was reported in 1.48% (n=8) patients. Conclusion: Port site hernia is a troublesome complication of laparoscopic procedures, although has much lesser rate than conventional procedures. Factors predisposing to development of port site hernia needs to be identified in all patients and steps should be taken to avoid complications. Large size and bladed trocars should not be used, and fascia closure is recommended at umbilical insertion site.

The "port-site metastasis" represents a tumor recurrence that develops in the abdominal wall within the scar tissue of the insertion site of one or more trocars, after laparoscopic surgery, not associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This last aspect is central because in the literature some isolated cases are reported, but most cases are associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The first case in the literature dates back to 1978 and in the literature, the incidence varies from 1% to 21%, although most published research reports a very small number of patients. Currently, the incidence in a specialized cancer center is consistent with the incidence of recurrence on a laparotomy scar. Possible mechanisms for cell implantation at the port site are direct implantation into the wound during forced, unprotected tissue retrieval or from contaminated instruments during tumor dissection; the effect of gas turbulence in lengthy laparoscopic procedures, and embolization of exfoliated cells during tumor dissection or hematogenous spread. Probably, however, the triggering mechanism is necessarily multifactorial. To date, the only significant prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with port-site metastasis is the interval between laparoscopy and the diagnosis of the port site: in fact, patients who develop the port site within 7 months after surgery have a generally worse prognosis, as well as port-site metastasis are more frequent in advanced cancers and the presence of ascites. To reduce the risk, the following measures are proposed in the literature: 1) Select the patient who does not have a metastatic oncologic condition or friable cancerous masses or lymph node spread or attached external or intracystic vegetations, preferring well-localized, benign or low-malignant or otherwise intact tumors; 2) Use wound protectors and use of protective bags (or endo bag) for tissue retrieval; 3) Peritoneal washing with heparin, to prevent free cell adhesion, or washing with cytocidal solutions. Evaluate the utility of using Povidone-iodine, Taurolidine (which has anti-adhesion activity and decreases proangiogenic factors), and chemotherapy products; 4) Avoid removing pneumoperitoneum with trocars in place; 5) Avoiding direct contact between the solid tumor and the port site; 6) Prefer laparoscopy to laparotomy, if possible; 7) Avoid the use of gas or direct CO2 insufflation, although in literature the point is controversial and deserves more attention and study, as the initial hypothesis that CO2 increased the invasion capacity of tumor cells (in vitro and in vivo) has been refuted several times. Insufflation of hyperthermic CO2 and humidified CO2 leads to a better outcome in patients with a malignant tumor who undergo a laparoscopic procedure compared with normal CO2 pneumoperitoneum; 8) Comply with surgical protocols and techniques by updating one's surgical skills, as it has been demonstrated, as already reported here, the presence of cancerous cells on instruments, washing systems and trocars (in particular, on the trocars of the first operator). Suturing all layers of the abdominal wall decreases the risk of the port site; 9) Avoid excessive manipulation of the tumor mass during the surgical/operative procedure.

Hemikolektomie Rechts

Die Entwicklung der laparoskopischen Chirurgie begann 1901 mit der Coelioskopie zu diagnostischen Zwecken und 1983 mit der ersten Appendektomie. Eine weltweite Verbreitung erlebte sie seit 1987 mit der Cholezystektomie. 1991 wurde erstmals sowohl die Hemikolektomie rechts als auch die Sigmaresektion beschrieben. Die anfängliche Euphorie dämpften die ersten Mitteilungen von Port-site-Metastasen. Die Kontroverse, ob beim Karzinom laparoskopisch operiert werden dürfe oder nicht, löste einen Forschungsboom aus. Im Jahr 2000 stand eindeutig fest, dass Port-site-Metastasen etwa gleich häufig wie «Drain-site-Metastasen» bei der offenen Chirurgie sind (um 0.9%). Die randomisierten Studien zum Vergleich laparoskopisch versus offen belegen keine Unterschiede bezüglich der Langzeitergebnisse beim Kolonkarzinom. In erfahrenen Händen gilt dies auch für das Rektumkarzinom. Die Lernkurve ist dabei von grosser Bedeutung. Sie wird mit 30 bis 70 Operationen angegeben, je nachdem ob nur die Operationsdauer oder zusätzlich andere Kriterien berücksichtigt werden (z.B. Umsteigerate, Komplikationen). Mit zunehmender Übung sinkt auch der intraoperative Materialaufwand, sodass die minimal-invasive Technik gesamthaft gesehen billiger wird als die offene Methode. Bei solchen Kalkulationen muss berücksichtigt werden, dass die rasche Wiedereingliederung eines Menschen in den Alltag volkswirtschaftlich gesehen profitabel ist und dass nach laparoskopischen Eingriffen gewisse Faktoren des Lebensqualitätsscores (SF-36) in der Langzeitbeobachtung signifikant besser sind. 2006 hat sich die laparoskopische kolorektale Chirurgie etabliert. Weil sie das Immunsystem weniger beeinträchtigt, wird spekuliert, dass sie sogar bessere Langzeitergebnisse zeigen wird. Dies müssen aber erst künftige Studien beweisen.

Objective: The study aimed to describe the identity and antimicrobial resistance patterns of the causative agents of bacterial meningitis in children referred to Children’s Medical Center (CMC) Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Methods: This retrospective study was performed at CMC Hospital during a six-year period from 2011 to 2016. The microbiological information of the patients with a diagnosis of bacterial meningitis was collected and the following data were obtained: patients’ age, sex, hospital ward, the results of CSF and blood cultures, and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of isolated organisms. Results: A total of 118 patients with bacterial meningitis were admitted to CMC hospital. Sixty-two percent (n=73) of the patients were male. The median age of the patients was ten months (interquartile range [IQR]: 2 months-2 years) and the majority of them (n=92, 80%) were younger than two years of age. The highest number of patients (n=47, 40%) were admitted to the surgery department. Streptococcus epidermidis was the most frequent isolated bacterium (n=27/127, 21%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=20/127, 16%), and Staphylococcus aureus (n=16/127, 12.5%). Blood culture was positive in 28% (n=33/118) of patients. Ampicillin-sulbactam and imipenem were the most effective antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria isolated from CSF cultures. In the case of Gram-positive organisms, ampicillinsulbactam, vancomycin, and linezolid were the best choices. Imipenem was the most active drug against Gram-negative blood pathogens. Also, ampicillin and vancomycin had the best effect on Gram-positive bacteria isolated from blood cultures. Conclusion: Results of this study provide valuable information about the antibiotic resistance profiles of the etiologic agents of childhood meningitis, which can be used for prescription of more effective empirical therapies.

Abstract Background Minimal invasive techniques for lumbar interbody fusion is a novel surgical procedure developed to reduce approach-related morbidity associated with traditional open techniques. Objective To determine the clinical comparative effectiveness and adverse event rates of posterior minimally invasive surgery (MIS) compared to open transforaminal or posterior lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF/PLIF) for early and late outcomes by using the visual analogue scale for back pain (VAS–back) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Data Sources Medline databases (PubMed, Medscape, ScienceDirect. EMF-Portal) and all materials available in the Internet till 2018. Data Extraction If the studies did not fulfill the inclusion criteria, they were excluded. Study quality assessment included whether ethical approval was gained, eligibility criteria specified, appropriate controls, and adequate information and defined assessment measures. Conclusion MIS techniques for lumbar interbody fusion is a safe alternative for classic open procedures but due to the limited number of the included RCTs, more well-designed multicenter RCTs with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up are still needed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of both techniques.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is usual method for the treatment of gall bladder stone disease and is practiced all over the world due to many benefits like fasten the recovery time. Furthermore, it reduced the post-operative pain and period of hospital stay. To conduct Surgical Audit and evaluate safety of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODOLGY: This prospective study was conducted in a private hospital at Hyderabad during free camps of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Four camps were arranged in 2016 - 2019. Total number of 190 patients  underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy during the study period. The patient's age falls between 12–65 years. A detailed history, relevant investigation and Cardiac fitness were evaluated. All patients underwent four ports Lap-Chole. Data was collected assessed and audit was performed and safety was evaluated. RESULTS: Total 190 patients operated females 88.45% and males 11.55%. 115 (60.50%)were in  the range of 30-35 years followed by 55 (28.95%)patients in the range of 40-50 years.8 (4.20%) patients were converted to open cholecystectomy, 4 due to bleeding from liver bed, 3 patients due to difficult dissection in calots triangle and 1 due to Empyema of gall bladder.10 patients (5.50%) had Trocar site bleeding, 10 patients (5.50%) had gall bladder injury, in 4 cases had spillage of stones and 72 patients (38.50%) developed umbilical port site infection 1 patient develop port site hernia. No mortality was recorded in this study. CONCLUSION: Our Surgical Audit proves that Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a safe procedure on the basis of only 4.2% intra operative and 5.5% postoperative complications and gaining wide spread popularity among our population due to less pain, less hospital stay. We recommend other private hospitals to extent such services to our poor population with symptomatic cholelithiasis.

End Stage

Hemodialysis is required for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that require arteriovenous (AV) grafts or fistulas for vascular access. These access points are prone to thrombosis. To determine the effect of medical adjuvant therapy on AV graft/fistula patency among patients with ESRD on hemodialysis. Adhering to the PRISMA 2020 statement, a systematic search was conducted until August 20, 2021, with keywords including arteriovenous graft, fistula, patency, thrombosis, hemodialysis, adjuvant treatment. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus, and Cochrane. A random-effects model was employed using Review Manager 5.4 for data analysis. The meta-analysis pooled in 1985 participants with 1000 (50.4%) in the medical adjuvant treatment group. At a snapshot, medical adjuvant therapy reduced the risk for graft thrombosis (RR = 0.64, P = .02). Notable medications included aspirin for graft thrombosis (RR = 0.36, P = .006) and ticlopidine for fistula thrombosis (RR = 0.53, P = .01). Certain antiplatelet therapies (aspirin and ticlopidine) reduced the number of patients with AV fistula/graft thrombosis among patients with high heterogeneity among the trials. Other therapies (fish oil, sulfinpyrazone, clopidogrel, and aspirin/dipyridamole) did not demonstrate significant improvement but may be promising once concrete evidence is available. Potential benefits of anti-platelet therapies may be explored to maintain the potency of AV grafts/fistulas through well-designed placebo-controlled trials and long-term follow-up.

Introduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of introduction of early surgery in the course of isolated ileocecal Crohn’s disease, where there is no absolute indication of surgery. Methods. Observational study involving patients with isolated ileocecal Crohn’s disease who underwent early surgical resection (within one year of the presentation of the hospital). A complete blood count, ESR, and CRP were done and compared between the preoperative value, 1st postoperative visit (3-4 weeks), and last follow-up visit. Statistical analysis was done using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare the different figures. Results. There was a statistically significant increase in the hemoglobin levels between preoperative, postoperative, and long-term follow-up and a significant decrease in leukocyte count between the pre- and postoperative values (F=19.8, p<0.001 and F=8.9, p=0.002, resp.). Similarly, the ESR and CRP values were decreased significantly at long-term follow-up (F=8.5, p=0.019 and F=8.3, p=0.013, resp.). Conclusion. Early surgical resection in isolated ileocaecal Crohn’s disease achieved significant biochemical improvements. These successful results in this small number of patients indicate that early surgical intervention may provide better outcomes. These initial results encourage larger and comparative studies of long-term results versus long-term use of biological agents.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery for malignant tumours occasionally results in recurrence at the trocar insertion site or port-site metastasis (PSM). We report on a patient requiring emergency laparoscopic surgery for an ovarian tumour with a review of the relevant literature. Case Report: A 42-year-old woman developed sudden abdominal pain and underwent laparoscopic right adnexectomy because of a suspected ovarian cystic tumour rupture. The postoperative histological diagnosis was a mucinous borderline ovarian tumour; however, an undifferentiated carcinoma was detected at the port site eight months after the initial surgery. The histopathological diagnosis of the abdominal wall tumour at the port site differed from intraoperative pathological findings, which was contradictory to PSM definition. Postoperatively, she received three systemic chemotherapy courses but died consequent to tumour metastasis. Conclusion: This is an atypical PSM case with histopathological differences from the initial tumour. Careful preoperative diagnosis and intraoperative attention are essential in such cases.
