To compare the outcome of the Bracka I Graft Technique versus Blair-Byar’s Flap technique in orthoplasty for urethral plate in terms of procedure time, hospital stay and urine stream after removal of Foley catheter. Objectives: There are multiple types of procedures to correct the chordee in hypospadias with chordee cases. We planned to perform study to discuss the differences between Bracka I where Graft is used for the plate of urethra and Blair-Byar’s flap technique in term of procedure time hospital stay and urine stream after removal of Foley catheter. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial study. Setting: Pediatric Urology Department, Children Hospital Faisalabad (CHF). Period: 1 year and 9 months, from April 2016 to December 2018. Material & Methods: Total 80 patients were taken with Non probability consecutive sampling technique was adopted with inclusion criteria with more than 2 years of age and hypospadias with chordee while, exclusion criteria of patients were previous surgery of chordee correction and any other associated anomalies. Results: In the patients with Bracka I procedure, n=37 patients (92.5%)  have uneventful uptake of graft, where two (5%) patients have failure of uptake of graft while one (2.5%) of them had wound infection and adequate urinary stream after removal of Foley was found in all 40 patients. In Blair-Byar’s technique procedure had uneventful uptake of graft in n= 36 patients (90%) where two (5%) patients have failure of uptake of graft while two (5%) of them have wound infection. Cosmetically acceptance was in 39 patients (97.5%) by the parents and feasibility to do the second stage.  While among Blair-Byar’s technique cosmetically acceptance was in 35 patients (87.5%) by the parents and feasibility to do the second stage. Conclusion: Bracka I (graft) Orthoplasty and Blair-Byar’s (flap) Orthoplasty has equivocal results in terms of tissue uptake and uneventful recovery, urinary stream post operatively, post-operative meatal diameter while cosmetically Bracka 1 is superior to Blair-Byar’s  technique while feasibility of the availability of local tissue to make tube for urethroplasty in stage II.

We aimed to evaluate comparative outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with non-traumatic splenic pathologies. A systematic search of electronic databases and bibliographic reference lists were conducted, and a combination of free text and controlled vocabulary search adapted to thesaurus headings, search operators and limits in electronic databases were applied. Intraoperative and post-operative complications, wound infection, haematoma, conversion to open procedure, return to theatre, volume of blood loss, procedure time and length of hospital stay were the evaluated outcome parameters. We identified 8 comparative studies reporting a total of 560 patients comparing outcomes of robotic ( n = 202) and laparoscopic ( n = 258) splenectomies. The robotic approach was associated with significantly lower volume of blood loss (MD: −82.53 mls, 95% CI −161.91 to −3.16, P = .04) than the laparoscopic approach. There was no significant difference in intraoperative complications (OR: 0.68, 95% CI .21-2.01, P = .51), post-operative complications (OR: .91, 95% CI .40-2.06, P = .82), wound infection (RD: -.01, 95% CI -.04-.03, P = .78), haematoma (OR: 0.40, 95% CI .04-4.03, P = .44), conversion to open (OR: 0.63; 95% CI, .24-1.70, P = .36), return to theatre (RD: −.04, 95% CI -.09-.02, P = .16), procedure time (MD: 3.63; 95% CI -16.99-24.25, P = .73) and length of hospital stay (MD: −.21; 95% CI -1.17 - .75, P = .67) between 2 groups. In conclusion, robotic and laparoscopic splenectomies seem to have comparable perioperative outcomes with similar rate of conversion to an open procedure, procedure time and length of hospital stay. The former may potentially reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss. Future higher level research is required to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and clinical outcomes

Abstract Aim To evaluate the comparative outcomes of simultaneous and staged colorectal and hepatic resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases Method We conducted a systematic search of electronic information sources, and bibliographic reference lists. Perioperative morbidity and mortality, anastomotic leak, wound infection, bile leak, bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, sub-phrenic abscess, reoperation, recurrence, 5-year overall survival, procedure time, and length of hospital stay were the evaluated outcome parameters. Combined overall effect sizes were calculated using random-effects models. Results We identified 41 comparative studies reporting a total of 12,081 patients who underwent simultaneous (n = 5,013) or staged (n = 7.068) resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases. The simultaneous resection was associated with significantly lower rate of bleeding (OR: 0.60, p = 0.03) and shorter length of hospital stay (MD:-5.40, p < 0.00001) compared to the staged resection. However, no significant difference was found in perioperative morbidity (OR:1.04, p = 0.63), mortality (RD:0.00, p = 0.19), anastomotic leak (RD:0.01, p = 0.33), bile leak (OR:0.83, p = 0.50), wound infection (OR:1.17, p = 0.19), intra-abdominal abscess (RD:0.01, p = 0.26), sub-phrenic abscess (OR:1.26, p = 0.48), reoperation (OR:1.32, p = 0.18), recurrence (OR:1.33, p = 0.10), 5-year overall survival (OR:0.88, p = 0.19), or procedure time (MD:-23.64, p = 041) between two groups. Conclusions Despite demonstrating nearly comparable outcomes, the best available evidence (level 2) regarding simultaneous and staged colorectal and hepatic resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases is associated with major selection bias. It is time to conduct high quality randomised studies with respect to burden and laterality of disease. We recommend the staged approach for complex cases.

The aim of this study was to verify the validity, feasibility, and the functional results, by uroflowmetry, of Tubularized proximallyincised plate technique in selected case of distal/midshaft hypospadias. Out of 120 patients scheduled to undergo TIP (or Snodgrass) procedure, 23 were selected between January 2013 and January 2016 (19.1%). This case series comprised 16 patients with distal and 7 with midshaft hypospadias. Mean age at surgery was 2.9 years. The inclusion criteria were a deep and wide glandular groove and a proximal narrow urethral plate. The procedure was carried out as described by Snodgrass but the incision of the urethral plate, including the mucosal and submucosal tissue, was made only proximally, between the original meatus and the glandular groove in no case extending to the entire length of the plate. Postoperatively a foley catheter was left in place from 4 to 7 days. Uroflowmetry was performed when the patients age ranged from 2.5 to 5.7 years (mean age 3.11 years and mean follow-up 1.8 years, body surface 2). No patient presented fistulas nor perioperative complications. At uroflowmetry, eighteen patients presented values above the 25<sup>th</sup> percentile and 5 showed a borderline flow. All patients in this group remained stable without urinary symptoms. In selected cases, the tubularized proximally-incised plate yields satisfactory cosmetic and functional results for the treatment of midshaft proximal hypospadias. A long-term follow-up study is needed for further evaluation. Patient selection is crucial for the success of this technique.

Background: Historically surgery for nodes in carcinoma penis was done as staged procedure due to fear of higher morbidity and longer hospital stay. However, in view of the established safety of the simultaneous procedure, very few centres do simultaneous surgery for nodes and primary in cancer penis.Methods: A retrospective analysis of all the simultaneous surgeries for nodes and primary for carcinoma penis done at our hospital, during the period April 2015 to March 2017 were done and various parameters were calculated and compared with historical standards of various series.Results: The various parameters namely wound morbidity, hospital stay and complications were analysed and compared with historical standards. A total of 15 patients during the above mentioned were found to be suitable for the analysis after having excluded patients who had previous therapy and inoperable tumours. The mean follows up period was 12 months (ranging from 8 to 20 months). The mean hospital stay was 15 days (range from 12 days to 25 days). The skin margin necrosis rate was 6.67%, wound infection rate was 6.67% and there were no perioperative deaths. The same was compared with historical standards.Conclusions: Simultaneous surgery for primary and nodes in carcinoma penis is safe and the standard results are reproducible in a rural tertiary medical centre like ours.

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.

134 Background: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has been performed for proximal early gastric cancer as a minimally invasive procedure. In PG, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) becomes problem, thus several techniques have been reported to reduce GERD. So far, we have mainly performed the method of anastomosis based on double stapling technique (DST) using a trans-oral anvil delivery system for reconstruction after PG. For preventing GERD, we recently introduced double-flap technique (DFT) reported to be more physiological anti-reflux reconstruction which can prevent GERD. So, this study shows superiority of DFT compared to DST. Methods: Patients who have undergone PG for proximal gastric cancer during Jan. 2012 to Jul. 2017 in our hospital were reviewed as candidates. Operation time, blood loss, postoperative anastomotic complication, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative reflux symptom or endoscopic findings, intake of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) at 1 year after the operation, and postoperative nutritional status were retrospectively investigated. Results: DFT was performed in 26 patients whereas DST was performed in 38 patients. Average operation time and postoperative hospital stay was not significant in both groups (DFT group; 275.8±41.4 minutes, 13.6±8.9 days, DST group; 252.2±82.9 minutes, 15.2±7.2 days, respectively). As for postoperative complications higher than Clavien-Dindo Grade III, one case of suture failure was observed in DFT group. Postoperative reflux symptoms and endoscopic findings of gastroesophageal reflux were significantly frequent in DST group compared to DFT group (Reflux symptoms, DFT group : DST group = 0 : 7(p = 0.03), Endoscopic findings, DFT group : DST group = 1 : 11(p < 0.01) , respectively). There were significantly more cases of PPI taking one year after the operation in DST group(DFT group : DST group = 8 : 28 (p < 0.01) ). Average weight loss at one year after the operation and serum level of albumin of in DFT group were 6.0±4.7kg and 4.11±0.29 g/dL, respectively and DST group were 7.6±5.3kg and 3.95±0.39 g/dL, respectively and there were no significance between two groups. Conclusions: DFT is superior to DST as a reconstruction method after PG in terms of suppressing GERD.

Background: Many approach have been tried for management of vestibular fistula, most of them have post operative complication like wound infection, wound dehiscence, more hospital stay which compromise the functional out come and aesthetic appearance of the perineum. Objective: The aim of present study was to see the effectiveness of Transfistula Anorectplasty (TFARP) Which was required minimal dissection without interruption of perineal body and perineal skin. Methodology: The cross sectional study on 43 patients with vestibular fistula were held in Dhaka Shishu Hospital from September 2008 to April 2010. Patients were operated after obtaining informed consent and standard bowel preparation. Data on demographics, operation time and postoperative complications were collected as a questionnaire and plotted on Microsoft Excel and analyzed systematically by SPSS version 17. Patients were followed up for a period of 2½ months postoperatively. Results: There is no statistical deference in patient population regarding age, geographical distribution, and clinical presentation. Mean operation time was 76.5 min for TFARP and 84.34 min for ASARP. Two (02) cases had wound infection after TFARP operation and 11 patients after ASARP operation. One patient develops partial wound dehiscence after TFARP and was healed after conservative treatment within 7 days. On the other hand 05 patients developed partial wound dehiscence and 04 patients developed complete wound disruption after ASARP which were also treated conservatively need more than 2 weeks on an average. Mean hospital stay were 6.45 days after TFARP operation and mean hospital stay were 7.87 days after ASARP operation. 20 neonates and infant who were treated by TFARP operation have good bowel movement without laxative and symmetrical anal contraction after stimulation. Conclusion: TFARP is an operation produce less morbidity and is more effective procedures and superior procedures than that of ASARP operation and give aesthetic appearance of the perineum.
