AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY OF VARICOCELE

Background: Varicocele, an abnormal dilatation and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins is found in about 15% of the general population with a marked left sided predominance. However this incidence rises to 35% in men with primary infertility and 70 to 80% in men with secondary infertility. Methods: Hospital based prospective study conducted on 100 cases reporting to General surgery department within the study duration and eligible as per inclusion criteria was included in study. Results: In our study out of Out of 100 patients maximum 42.00% patients were farmer followed by 22.00% patients were Coolies and Rickshaw Pullers, 17.00% patients were students, 10.00% were laborer and 9.00% were policemen. Conclusion: It conclude that Varicocele epidemiology remains incompletely understood. We need well‑designed, large‑scale studies that include evaluation of important clinical factors to comprehend fully the epidemiological aspects of this condition.

Pampiniform Plexus

Background A varicocele is described as pathologically enlarged, tortuous veins of the pampiniform plexus, leading to an increased testicular temperature and adrenal metabolite reflux into the testes. The purpose of this work was to find presentations of “varicocele. Methods Hospital based prospective study conducted on 50 cases reporting to General surgery, Paed. Surgery and urology department within the study duration and eligible as per inclusion criteria was included in study. Results- Most of the patients (56.00%) were presented with pain and dragging sensations followed by 28.00% patients were presented for infertility and 16.00% patients were did not have any complaints but referred from various recruitment agencies for fitness purposes.Out 50 patients 48% patients were treated by palmos technique and 36.00% patients were treated by high inguinal ligation Conclusion It conclude that Varicocele epidemiology remains incompletely understood. We need well‑designed, large‑scale studies that include evaluation of important clinical factors to comprehend fully the epidemiological aspects of this condition.

AbstractDuring a 4-month period, 693 patients undergoing surgical procedures were prospectively studied to investigate the etiology of postoperative fever (≥38°C during 48 hours or more). The overall rate of fever was similar for the three categories of surgical procedures studied (14%, 13.4% and 13.1% respectively after clean, clean contaminated and contaminated surgical procedures). No cause of fever was found in 5%, 2.7% and 1.7% of patients who underwent clean, clean contaminated and contaminated surgical procedures. Several episodes of fever were observed for 12 patients after clean surgery; for 11 of them this was due to infection. The mean interval between febrile episodes was 4.7 days. After clean wound surgery, fever documented as infectious began significantly later (2.7 vs 1.6 days) and lasted significantly longer (5.4 vs 3.5 days) than fever for which no source was determined. Only half of the infections were associated with fever.

Liechtenstein procedure represents the most frequent technique used for surgical abdominal interventions. Although, it is a modern and inovative procedure, it still has a relative risk for complications. A number of 93 subjects were included in our research. We develop our study in General Surgery Department of County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, Romania between 1st July 2017-31th March 2018. From the total of 93 patients, 88% were men. Most of subjects had ages between 70 and 79 years old, were operated by Liechtenstein technique and they were coming from quite equal percent from rural and urban areas.The incidence for complications(seroma, hematoma, infection, abscess) was generally lower for the patients diagnosticated with Liechtenstein procedure comparing with the subjects operated by other technique. Liechtenstein procedureis recommended especially for its simplicity and efficiency, reproducibility and safety. It is very important to choose the perfect synthetic prosthetic material to have a good evolution of the disorder and a small recurrence rate.

Positive Agreement

BACKGROUND: Autofluorescence imaging technology has been utilized for preserving or identifying parathyroid glands (PTGs) during thyroid surgery. We developed a wireless PTGs detection device linked with smart glasses that allows for real-time video recording and screen switching according to the light source. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to confirm the feasibility of the device and whether it would help preserve the PTG during the surgery. METHODS: This prospective study was conducted in 30 patients with 66 PTGs. The device’s agreement with the physician’s judgment was evaluated, and we determined how many PTGs were preserved from thyroidectomy. RESULTS: The positive agreement rate for PTGs detection between the surgeon and device was 70.9%. Inadvertent parathyroidectomy was identified in surgical specimens of 6 patients (20%). No PTG was removed when it was confirmed by the device (0/39). Of the 27 glands not detected by the device, there was inadvertent removal of 6 PTGs. CONCLUSIONS: PTGs can be preserved successfully when the detection of them by the device is consistent with the surgeon’s discretion. A large-scale controlled study is necessary to demonstrate the practical effect of this device on hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy.
