Objective: To compare the outcomes of prolene macroporous mesh with Parietex Composite® mesh in patients undergoing Laparoscopic hernioplasty for management of Paraumbilical hernia. Study Design: Prospective Comparative study. Setting: Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Period: 1st January 2016 to 1st January 2018. Material & Methods: A total of 100 patients with diagnosis of Paraumbilical hernia, aged >18 years were included. There were two groups. In group A (n=50) prolene macroporous mesh (Covidien) was placed. In group B (n=50) Parietex Composite® mesh (Covidien) was placed. After hernioplasty all patients were followed for a period of 2 years for evaluation of primary procedure and any complications like seroma, hematoma and intestinal obstruction. Results: The mean length of stay was 2.74±2.13 days in group A, versus 2.23±1.25 in group B (p-value 0.15). Seroma formation was seen in 4 (8.0%) patients in group A versus in 02 (4.0%) patients in group B (p-value 0.40). Hematoma formation was seen in 01 (2.0%) patients in group A versus 0.0% patients in group B (p-value 0.10). There was no recurrence and intestinal obstruction in any group in two years follow up. Conclusion: There was no difference in surgical outcome and the complication between two groups of patients undergoing laparoscopic Paraumbilical hernia repair with prolene macroporous and Parietex Composite mesh. Moreover, parietex composite mesh are difficult to insert and much expensive. Therefore, prolene mesh can be safely used in patients undergoing Laparoscopic Paraumbilical hernioplasty.

Abstract Introduction Several studies have shown benefit from use of preoperative antibiotics in reducing postoperative infection after appendectomy as well as efficacy of postoperative antibiotics in complicated appendicitis (defined as perforated appendix or presence of pus in peritoneum). While for uncomplicated appendicitis, several studies showed no benefit from antibiotics postoperatively but there are no clear NICE guidelines till now and so surgeons have different practice based on their preferences. Method This study included patients who had appendectomy for uncomplicated appendicitis in Worthing hospital from 1st July 2019 till 30th June 2020. The end point was 30-day follow up postoperatively for wound infection or collection. Results 90 patients were admitted with uncomplicated appendicitis with age 6-80 years (mean of 31.3). 46 patients (51%) did not receive postoperative antibiotics (group A) and 44 (49%) received postoperative antibiotics (group B) with a variable practice from one dose to 8-day course. postoperatively, only 1 patient (2.1%) in group A developed wound infection requiring drainage while none in group B developed complications (p-value=1). Conclusions Administration of postoperative antibiotics in uncomplicated appendicitis showed no superiority over non-administration. in addition, they add extra cost on NHS. So, their routine use postoperatively is not recommended, however, larger studies are required to confirm this.

Background: Tinea pedis (athlet’s foot) is the most common fungal infection. Relapse is common in tinea pedis and may be result of recurrence following inadequate treatment or reinfection. Objective: To evaluate the comparable efficacy of terbinafine and itraconazole in the treatment of tinea pedis. Methods: 120 patients of tinea pedis confirmed by KOH microscopy were included in the study. The study was carried out in three different Hospitals and Private Chambers for a period of 3 years from July 2006 to June 2009. Mean age of the patients was 40.28±10.23. The patients were devided into 2 equal group:A & B. Group- A was given terbinafine 250 mg/day and group-B was given intraconazole 200 mg/day for 2 weeks. Results: Follow up 2 weeks after cessation of therapy revealed clinical and mycological cure of 93.3% in terbinafine group and 86.6% in itraconazole group. Conclusion: Efficacy analysis revealed that terbinafine is superior than itraconazole in the treatment of tinea pedis (P value 0.224).

Purpose We aimed to compare our parent-based exercise programem’s efficacy with the foot abduction brace (FAB) Ponseti manipulation as a retention programme. Methods We conducted this prospective multicentre cohort study between August 2009 and November 2019. The included children were allocated into one of two groups according to the retention protocol. The Pirani and Laaveg-Ponseti scores were used to assess the feet clinically and functionally. Radiological assessment was performed using standing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the feet. We assessed the parents’ satisfaction and adherence to the retention method. SPSS version 25 was used for the statistical analysis. Results A total of 1265 feet in 973 children were included. Group A included 637 feet managed with FAB, while group B included 628 feet managed with our retention programme. All patients were followed up to the age of four years. At the final follow-up, Pirani scores in group A participants were excellent, good and poor in 515, 90, and 32 feet, respectivel, while in group B the scores were excellent, good and poor in 471, 110 and 44 feet, respectively. The mean total score of Laaveg-Ponseti was 87.81 (sd 19.82) in group A and 90.55 (sd 20.71) in group B (p = 0.02). Group B participants showed higher satisfaction with the treatment method (p = 0.011) and more adherence to the treatment (p = 0.013). Conclusion The deformity’s recurrence related to the brace’s non-compliance in the Ponseti method might be reduced by substituting the brace with our home-based daily stretching exercises.

Mesh Hernioplasty

Background: Residual neuralgia, called as Inguinodynia, is an important complication unique to groin hernia repair. The reported incidence ranges between 9-63%. The symptoms are potentially disabling. Symptoms are often more pronounced on axial twisting of body. Methods for prevention include identification and preservation of all nerves, Ilioinguinal Neurectomy and triple Neurectomy during surgery.Methods: One hundred patients underwent elective unilateral Lichtenstein’s tension free hernioplasty. 50 patients were subjected to elective ilioinguinal neurectomy. The remaining underwent standard Liechtenstein’s mesh hernioplasty, without ilioinguinal neurectomy. Randomization was achieved by allocating alternate patients to each group - prophylactic neurectomy, or nerve preservation. All patients, during each review were asked to fill out a Pain Disability Questionnaire to assess sensory loss and pain disability objectively.Results: At completion of 6 monthly follow up pain at rest (none in group ‘A’ compared with 3 in group ‘B’), after coughing 5 times (none in group ‘A’ compared with 7 in group ‘B’), after climbing 4 flights of stairs(3 in group ‘A’ compared with 16 in group ‘B’) and after cycling for 20 minutes (11 in group ‘A’ compared with 22 in group ‘B’) were all significantly lesser in the neurectomy group as compared with the non neurectomy group. More importantly, exertional chronic pain incidence at 6 months was significantly less in group ‘A’.Conclusions: It was concluded that pain after inguinal mesh hernioplasty is a cause of morbidity, pain was complained of by a significantly larger number of non-neurectomised patients at 6 months of follow-up, prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy is associated with reduced exertional chronic groin pain, disability caused by pain after inguinal hernioplasty, is significantly reduced by ilioinguinal neurectomy and an extremely significant reduction in the requirement of medication is brought about by neurectomy compared with controls.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of preservation /division of ilioinguinal nerve in patients undergoing lichenstein hernioraphy on severity of chronic post operative pain as well well as presence /absence of groin numbness. Method: A randamised control trial was conducted for a period of six months on 60 patient fulfilling inclusion criteria who underwent lichenstein hernioraphy at general surgery department of Liaquat National university hospital Karachi , Pakistan. Result: A total of 60 patients undergoing elective inguinal hernia mesh repair were Included in study and divided in two groups with 30 patients each. Only male patients were included in the study as female gender was one of the exclusion criteria so gender stratification was no considered. Patients between 17 to 77 yrs of age were included in study and randomly divided in two groups. Mean age of population in group A is 42.96 +/- 17.76 an in group B is 54.23 +/- 15.0. The minimum age of the patient in Group A is 17 years and maximum age is 73 years whereas minimum age of the patient in Group B is 20 years and maximum age is 77 years. 45.9% Patients in group A (Nerve preservation group) have right inguinal hernia. 54.0%% Patients in group B (Nerve Division group) have right inguinal hernia. 56.5%% Patients in group A (Nerve Preservation group) have left inguinal hernia. 43.4% Patients in group B (Nerve Division group) have left inguinal hernia. Chronic groin pain while different physical activities and groin numbness in nerve preservation and nerve division group was assessed at three and six months follow ups in all patients of the study population. 3% of the patients from nerve preservation group had mild pain during climbing stairs at three and six months follow up and the P-Value was 0.313 which is statistically not significant. 10% of the patients from nerve division group and 50% patients from nerve preservation group had pain during brisk walking at three months follow up and the P-Value was 0.001 which is statistically significant. 23% of the patients from nerve division group and 60% patients from nerve preservation group had pain during brisk walking at six months follow up and the P-Value was 0.004 which is statistically significant. 13.3% patients from nerve preservation group had moderate pain during brisk walking at three months follow up while none of the patient from nerve division group had pain and P-Value was 0.038 which is statistically significant. 6.6% of the patients from nerve preservation group had moderate pain during brisk walking at six months follow up while none of the patient from nerve division group had pain and p-value was 0.150 which is statistically in significant. 20% of the patients from nerve division group and 30% of the patients from nerve preservation group had mild groin numbness at three months follow up with P-Value of 0.371 which is statistically in significant. 33.3% of the patients from nerve division group and 30% of the patients from nerve preservation group had groin numbness at six months follow up with a p-value of 0.781 which is statistically in significant. Conclusion: Prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy during Lichtenstein tension free inguinal hernia repair decreases the incidence of exertional chronic post operative pain as compare to the nerve preservation group. However the cutaneous neurosensory disturbance/groin numbness between the two groups has no difference in term of outcome. In order to prepare ourselves from a expected third wave of Covid-19, we should not repeat mistakes that we made during previos waves. We should refrain ourselves from dismantling our enhanced healthcare facilities, there should not be any sorts of shortage of oxygen , hospital beds, and drug that we have already witnessed. We must have an aggressive containment measure comprising of a really strong and pro-active surveillance system. This can be achieved by increasing the capacity of the existing surveillance system by identifying active cases early. We must ensure that we should follow “social vaccine” of proper masking, avoid indoor gatherings, and proper sanitization. Our vaccination programme needs a boost. We should vaccinate a large section of people before any third wave hits us. The more we vaccinate, the better prepared we are. As medical professionals, it must be ensured that proper scientific protocol must be implemented while handling Covid-19 cases. And last but not the least efforts must be made to fill up vacancies seen in our public health system, especially for frontline healthcare workers. As it is anticipated that the young children are more vulnerable to the forthcoming third wave, efforts are to be sought in order to start vaccination of the younger children in our country. Trials for which has already been started in India and across the world. Till the time vaccine is made available, the resources are to be mobilized to build up healthcare facilities catering the vulnerable age group in this third wave such as building up of more paediatric wards, paediatric ICU’s , training of healthcare personals in handling the emergencies for expected third wave .In addition to these efforts , more and more paediatric covid care centers must be set up at various parts of the country. Equally important is making arrangements for rehabilitation centers for the orphans. Countries like US, Singapore and UAE have already started vaccinating the children in age group between 12 to 15 years with Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine. It’s a high time that the government in India must consider for allowing “expedited approval pathway” to the companies like Pfizer for their Covid-19 vaccine for children. All these combined efforts from everyone may ensure that the country and world may remain well equipped against these subsequent waves of this deadly virus and pave the path of the triumph in the near future.

Abstract Background Thrombus aspiration (TA) might have a potential role in STEMI patients with heavy thrombus burden. The objective of several prospective trials whether routine TA in STEMI patients, contributes to a reduced mortality. After the first promising results, mainly based on the single center (TAPAS trial), results of the largest randomized trials to date (TASTE) study and (TOTAL) study, have not shown any significant differences in all-cause mortality, re-hospitalizations or stent thrombosis after a maximum of one-year follow-up period Objectives The aim of this prospective study is to study the in-hospital & short term out-come of using manual thrombus aspiration in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI & showing large thrombus burden. Results The study included 209 patients referred to (CCU) of (Ain Shams University hospitals) with diagnosis of STEMI, who had under-gone primary PCI, with evidence of heavy thrombus burden . All the patients received DAPT, 99% had received GPIIbIIIa antagonists. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group (A) included 73 patients, who had under-gone manual thrombus aspiration followed by PCI to culprit lesion +/- other vessels & and group (B) included 136 patients, who had under-gone primary PCI of culprit lesion+/- other vessels, using the standard technique, without thrombus aspiration, within the period from 11/2016 till 7/2018(21 months),and they were followed up during hospital stay & for one month following hospital discharge. No stents were used in 13.7% of group (A), but no stents were used on 3.7% of group (B) (p value= 0.007). TIMI III flow had been achieved in 94.5% of group (A), 80.1% of group (B)(p value = (0.020) . MBG 3 had been achieved in 82.2% of group (A), 58.1% of group (B) . ST-segment resolution &gt; 70% had been achieved in 8.2% of group (A), that hadnot been achieved in group (B) (p value =0.003). Mortality(among MACE) was the only event detected (p value 0.026). Follow up MACE were statisticalLy significant results (p value=0.022) . Statistically highly significant results regarding, LV systolic function EF %, p vaue= 0.001, had been achieved . Conclusion In STEMI patients with evidence of heavy thrombus burden, a strategy of manual aspiration thrombectomy is valuable in reducing index hospitalization mortality, and 1 month follow-up rates of mortality, TIMI flow, better MBG, ST-segment resolution, in addition to left ventricular systolic function .
