Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of sacrohystcopxy by determining intraoperative and post-operative complications and its effectiveness by pelvic organ prolapse recurrence on follow up. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit-II DHQ Hospital PMC, Faisalabad. Period: Jan-2014 to Jan-2017. Material & Methods: Patients with uterovaginal prolapse, admitted through OPD were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. Variables of study including duration of surgery, any intra-operative and post operative complications, need of intra operative blood transfusion, post operative hospital stay; recurrence of POP, number of pregnancies in 06 moths follow up were recorded. Results: During this study period, 319 patients were admitted with uterovaginal prolapse. 32 (10.03%) cases were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. In these 32 patients, 03 (9.37%) were <30years of age, 21(65.62%) were between 30-35 years and 8 (25%) were between 35-40 years of age. About 2(6.25%) were unmarried, while 30(93.7%) were married. In these married women 14(43.75%) were multiparas, another 14(43.75%) were para 1 or 2, while 4(12.5%) were para 3 or more. Duration of surgery was 40-45 minutes in 31(96.87%) patients. In 28(87.5%) cases per operative blood loss was <150ml while in 4(12.5%) it was estimated to be >150ml but less than 300ml. Post operatively only 1(3.12%) case developed wound sepsis and it was the only one (3.12%) who was discharged on 7th post operative day, while rest 31(96.87%) were discharged on 3rd post operative day. No recurrence was noticed in 06 moths follow up, while 2(6.25%) patients became pregnant. Conclusion: Abdominal sacrohysteropexy is a safe and an effective treatment in terms of overall anatomical and functional outcome, complications, post operative recovery, length of hospital stay and sexual functioning, in women who desire uterine and hence fertility preservation.

Background: Haemorrhoids are one of most common benign anorectal malformation worldwide. There are various surgical treatment modalities for 3rd and 4th degree haemorrhoids. Open haemorrhoidectomy was the most widely practiced and is considered the current gold standard. In search of a newer surgical technique, stapler has been introduced for haemorrhoidectomy and has revolutionised operative procedures over the last decade world-wide due to its ease and simplicity and lesser post-operative complications. The following study was done to evaluate the outcome of open versus stapled haemorrhoidectomy in terms of post-operative pain, postoperative bleeding, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stays in a medical college hospital at Raipur, Chhattisgarh.Methods: This was a prospective follow-up study, in patients undergoing surgery for grade III/IV haemorrhoids conducted in the Department of Surgery, Dr BRAM Hospital, Raipur, from August 2017 to July 2018. Fourteen patients underwent stapled haemorrhoidopexy and eighteen underwent open haemorrhoidectomy. All patients were reviewed immediately after surgery, at discharge and at 1, 3 and 10 weeks post-operatively. The two groups were compared for post-operative outcomes and complications.Results: The majority of patients in the study were males and had grade 4 haemorrhoids. Stapled haemorrhoidopexy group had shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain, shorter duration of hospital stays as compared with open haemorrhoidectomy group. There were no major post-operative complications in the follow up period of 10 weeks in the stapled group.Conclusions: Stapled haemorrhoidopexy is a safer alternative to open haemorrhoidectomy with many short-term benefits.

Background: Non Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) is removal of uterus through vagina in non-prolapsed uterus. The objective of the present study was to assess safety and feasibility of NDVH in patients with large uterus (>12 weeks size uterus).Methods: Retrospective study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, India from May2014 to May 2017. Effort was made to perform hysterectomies vaginally in women with benign conditions with large uterine size. Information regarding age, parity, uterine size, blood loss, duration of operation, number of fibroids, other surgical difficulties encountered, intra–operative and post-operative complications were recorded.Results: Total of 65 cases was selected for NDVH with large uterine size. All successfully underwent NDVH. 25 patients had uterus of 10-12 weeks size, 17 had uterine size of 12-14 weeks size. Mean duration of surgery was 90 min. Mean blood loss was 300ml. Post-operative complications were minimal. All patients had early mobility with faster resumption to daily activities. Mean hospital stay was 4-5 days.Conclusions: Non descent vaginal hysterectomy is safe, cost effective method of hysterectomy in women with large uterus requiring hysterectomy for benign conditions with less complications, shorter hospital stay and less morbidity.

Background: Haemorrhoids are the most common benign anorectal problems worldwide. Treatments of third and fourth degree hemorrhoids include surgical haemorrhoidectomy. Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy (MMH) as described in 1937 has remained the most popular among many techniques proposed. In order to avoid the postoperative drawbacks of Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy, a new surgical treatment for prolapsing haemorrhoids has been described by Longo in 1995, procedure called stapled haemorrhoidopexy which is associated with less postoperative pain and a quicker recovery. The objective of this study was to compare the short-term outcome between stapled hemorrhoidopexy and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.Methods: Prospective randomized study of 120 patients with grade 3 and grade 4 haemorrhoids requiring surgical treatment either MMH or SH, 60 in each group for the period of 18 months from June 2014 to November 2015. Post-operative pain, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stays, post-operative complications and time taken to return to work were compared with mean follow up period of 6 months.Results: Duration of surgery is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, duration of hospital stay is significantly low in stapled group with P <0.001, post-operative pain low in staple group with P <0.05, time taken to return to work is significantly early in stapled group with P <0.001. Post-operative complications incontinence not found in the present study but recurrence of two cases in each group noted.Conclusion: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is associated with less postoperative pain, shorter duration of surgery and hospital stay, earlier return to work as compared with Milligan-Morgan open hemorrhoidectomy. The procedure is not associated with major post-operative complications.

Introduction: Surgery remains the mainstay in treating intussusception in developing countries, with a correspondingly high bowel resection rate despite a shift to non-operative reduction in high-income countries. Objective: To assess factors associated with bowel resection and the outcomes of resection in childhood intussusception. Methods: A review of children with intussusception between January 2006 and December 2015 at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. The patients were categorized based on the need for bowel resection and analysis done using the SPSS version 23. Results: 121 children were managed for intussusception during this period. 53 (43.8%) had bowel resection, 61 (50.4%) did not require resection and 7 (5.8%) were unknown. 40 (75.5%) of the resections were right hemi-colectomy. The presence of fever, abdominal pain, distension, rectal mass, age < 12 months, heart rate > 145/min and duration of symptoms > 2 days were associated with the need for bowel resection (p < 0.05). However, only age and abdominal pain independently predicted need for resection. Bowel resection was more associated with development of post-operative complications and prolonged hospital stay (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Infants presenting with abdominal pain and abdominal distension after two days of onset of symptoms were more likely to require bowel resection. Resection in intussusception significantly increased post-operative complications and length of hospital stay. Keywords: Paediatric intussusception; bowel resection; developing countries.

Abstract Purpose Foramen magnum meningiomas (FMMs) are a major surgical challenge, due to relevant surgical morbidity and mortality. The paper aims to review the clinical (symptomatic improvement, complication rate, length of hospital stay) and radiological outcome (completeness of resection) of microsurgical resection of FMMs, and to identify predictors of complications. Methods A multi-institutional retrospective review of prospectively maintained database of FMMs included 51 patients (74.5% females) with a median tumor volume of 8.18 cm3 (range, 1.77–57.9 cm3) and median follow-up of 36 months (range, 0.30–180.0 months). Tumors were resected though suboccipital approach (58.8%) or transcondylar approach (39.3%). Results Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved in 80.4%, while local tumor control in 98% of cases. Clinical symptoms improved in 34 patients (66.7%) and worsened in 5 (9.8%). The median length of hospital stay was 5 days. Mortality was null. Postoperative complications developed in 15 patients (29.4%), with cerebrospinal fluid leak (7.8%) and lower cranial nerves deficits (7.8%) as the most frequent. Craniospinal location (p = 0.03), location anterior to the dentate ligament (DL) (p = 0.02), involvement of vertebral artery (VA) (p = 0.03) were significantly associated with complication rate. These three elements allow calculating the Foramen Magnum Meningioma Risk Score (FRMMRS), to estimate the risk of post-operative complications. Conclusion Microsurgical resection allows for high GTR rate and local tumor control rate, despite complications in one third of the patients. The FMMRS allows classifying FMMs and estimating the risk of post-operative complications.

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 Background Pre-operative anaemia is associated with increased length of hospital stay, requirement for allogenic blood transfusion, post-operative complications and mortality. Oesophagectomy is a complex procedure associated with significant physiological insult, thus pre-operative patient optimisation is imperative to improve clinical outcomes. This study aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative anaemia on short-term outcomes following oesophagectomy for benign and malignant disease.  Methods A retrospective cohort study of all oesophagectomies performed in a single tertiary referral centre between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019 was performed. Patients were identified from a prospectively collected database and individual patient electronic records were interrogated. Patients were dichotomised into two groups, based on the most recent pre-operative haemoglobin. Patients with pre-operative anaemia (haemoglobin &lt;130mg/L in males and &lt;120mg/L in females) were compared to those without pre-operative anaemia. Patients with missing data were excluded from the study. Patients were followed up for a median of 32 months (IQR 18-66). Results Of 352 patients eligible for inclusion, 173 (49.1%) patients were anaemic immediately pre-operatively. Patients with pre-operative anaemia were older (66 vs. 64 years, p = 0.031), with a lower anaerobic threshold (11.7 vs. 12.3ml/min/kg, p = 0.011), and were significantly more likely to have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy (91.3% vs. 78.8%, p &lt; 0.001). Patient comorbidities and disease-related characteristics were similar between the two groups. Patients with pre-operative anaemia were significantly more likely to require post-operative blood transfusion (34.7% vs. 16.8%; p &lt; 0.001). However, pre-operative anaemia was not associated with increased post-operative complications, intensive care admission, length of hospital stay, or 30- and 90-day mortality rates following oesophagectomy. Conclusions Patients with anaemia immediately prior to undergoing an oesophagectomy were significantly more likely to require post-operative blood transfusion. However, pre-operative anaemia was not associated with an increased rate of post-operative morbidity or mortality. In addition, pre-operative iron transfusion is becoming increasingly utilised to minimise the incidence of pre-operative anaemia: this was not analysed in this study.
