A prospective comparative study was carried out to evaluate haemodynamic and recovery status using infusion of propofol-midazolam-nalbuphine and ketamine-diazepam-tramadol in surgical daycases. Fifty patients of either sex aged within 18-60 years ASA grade I or II requiring routine surgery as day-case basis under GA were selected in Dept of Anaesthesia, CMH, Dhaka during February-May 2006. Cases were randomly divided equally into two groups of 25 each. Group-A received propofolmidazolam- nalbuphine infusion and infusion of ketamine-diazepam-tramadol was used in Group- B for anaesthesia. Haemodynamic parameters, recovery status and home readiness time were monitored and recorded at 10 min intervals. The variations in heart rate, systolic and diastolic BP of both groups were found statistically insignificant (p-values: 0.0524, 0.0513 and 0.0575 respectively). Recovery scores were high in Group-A (p-0.0443) and time for home-readiness were found 242±35 (mean±SD) minutes in Group-A and 367±83 minutes in Group-B (p-0.0329). Drugs used in Group-B were found highly cost effective. It is concluded that by using ketamine, diazepam and tramadol combination (group-B), we can reduce the cost of anaesthesia, which is necessity for majority of patients in our country. On the other hand, propofol, midazolam and nalbuphine combination (group-A), a costlier regime appears suitable for the patients from affluent population. Both the regimes can be practiced with safety.   Journal of BSA, Vol. 21, No. 1, January 2008 36-42

Background: Fistula in ano is a common disease which has high recurrence rate and high fecal incontinence rate after surgery. We compared modified LIFT (Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) through lateral approach ) with cutting seton for transphincteric fistula. Aim: This study is aimed at which procedure is better with respect to postoperative complications Study design: It was a prospective comparative study. Methods: This was a prospective comparative study from 01-01-2019 to 30-06-2021 which was conducted on 50 patients who presented with transsphincteric fistula in ano (FIA) in surgical ward of Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Patients were divided into two groups .Patients of Group A underwent modified lift procedure and patients of group B underwent cutting seton procedure. Data was collected on a proforma which included patients’ name ,age ,sex, age group, comorbid disease like diabetes mellitus ,chronic liver disease, cardiovascular disease and chronic renal failure, fistula tract involving less than 50% or more than 50% external sphincter ,procedure done, healing time of wound, complications like recurrence and incontinence. Patients were followed for 6 months for healing rate ,recurrence and incontinence. Data was analysed on spss 22 version Results: In Group A, complete healing (fistula closure without recurrence) was achieved in 20 patients (80%) out of 25. There was no case of anal incontinence after the procedure. 5 (20%) patients experienced recurrence in 6 months . In Group B, complete healing (fistula closure without recurrence) was achieved in 21 patients (84%), in 6 months follow up . 4(16%) patients were diagnosed as a case of anal incontinence. There were 4 (16%) patients with recurrence. Conclusion: Modified LIFT is better in terms of incontinence where as cutting seton is better in terms of recurrence.it is suggested that for high lying fistula modified LIFT is better procedure and for low lying fistula involving less than 50% sphincter cutting seton is better procedure.. Keywords: Modified LIFT (ligation of ineter sphincteric fistula tract) ,Cutting seton , transphincteric fistula.

Objective: To assess morbidity and success of transabdominal (O’Conor) repair of vesicovaginal fistula with orwithout interposition of flap between vagina and urinary bladder. Study Design: Prospective comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi, from Mar 2016 to Jan 2019. Methodology: Fifty five patients were randomized into group A & B by lottery method. An inclusion criterionwas single fistulous opening of ≤3cm. Complex and recurrent fistulae were excluded. Patients in group A underwent O’Conor repair without interpositional flap while in group B vesicovaginal fistulae were repaired with flap interposition. Results: Twenty two patients were randomized in group A while 27 in group B. Mean age of patients was 41.65± 11.93 years. Gynecological and obstetrical surgery was the main cause of fistula. Mean duration of surgerywas 162.7 ± 18.49 minutes. Per-operative ureteric catheterization was done in 9 (16.8%) patients. Seventeen(30.6%) patients had paralytic ileus. There was transient fever in 4 (7.6%) of cases and wound infection was seenin 3 (5.8%) of patients. Mean hospital stay was 3.4 ± 2.3 days. Cystogram was done in 35 (64.5%) of patients before the removal of per-urethral catheter. The overall success rate was 92.9%. Ten (18.2%) of patients developed denovo urgency which was managed conservatively. There was no statistical difference in both groups in terms of morbidity and success. Conclusion: In simple Vesico-vaginal fistulae repair, interposition of flap can be omitted and it does not affect the outcomes in terms of success and morbidity.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> To compare the results of endoscopic tympanoplasty with that of conventional tympanoplasty and to evaluate and compare the graft uptake in both of these methods. The study was done to evaluate the improvement in hearing after tympanoplasty and the problems faced while doing the endoscope assisted tympanoplasty.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Between July 2010 to June 2013, 50 patients underwent tympanoplasty, 25 were endoscope assisted (group A) and 25 were microscope assisted (group B). Results of surgery were compared at the end of three and six months post operation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The success rate in terms of graft uptake rate was 88% with endoscope assisted tympanoplasty and 84% with other microscope assisted tympanoplasty. Overall success rate was 86.0%. Mean hearing improvement was (16.24±10.21 dB) and (14.28±7.10 dB) in group A and group B respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Tympanoplasty with its visualization of hidden corners, justifies tympanoplasty by using endoscope in selected cases with comparable improved results in the literature. Furthermore, the cost of the endoscope is much less (about 10%) in comparision to operating microscope, making it more cost effective in developing countries. However, the endoscope cannot be employed in every case as one hand is blocked. In terms of Patient comfort, the endoscope assisted outnumbers the benefits of other conventional methods.<strong></strong></p>

Abstract: The point of the executives is to ease the pain rapidly and improve practical capacity. NSAIDs are the primary line treatment. Serratiopeptidase is the proteolytic enzyme. The challenge lies in deciding whether only NSAIDs or NSAIDs with proteolytic enzyme will give more prominent indicative help, while additionally being savvy. the primary goal is to think about the adequacy of diclofenac with paracetamol and diclofenac with serratiopeptidase in the administration of delicate tisssue injury. This prospective, open label, observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. Patients over 18 years of age and presenting with soft tissue injury pain (elbow pain, knee pain, general pain, back pain ) of less than 6 weeks duration were enrolled in the study. Forty patients with soft tissue injury pain were randomized into two groups: Group A got diclofenac with paracetamol (50mg/325mg) double a day and Group B got diclofenac with serratiopeptidase (50mg/10mg) double a day for 1 week. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) determined the clinically significant results. The decrease in pain intensity in Group B was (MEAN= 3.76), while in Group A it was (MEAN= 3.93). The average cost-effectiveness ratio indicated that diclofenac wit paracetamol was the dominant treatment over diclofenac with serratiopeptidase. Therefore, diclofenacc with paracetamol was found to be the cost-effective option for soft tissue injury pain relief in for 1 week. Both diclofenac wit paracetamol and diclofenac with serratiopeptidase. were clinically effective in reducing the pain intensity and in improving functional ability. H owever, diclofenac wit paracetamol was found to be the cost-effective intervention. Keywords: Paracetamol, diclofenac, Serratiopeptidase, soft tissue injury, pain.

Objective:To evaluate the safety regarding anastomotic failure of single layer interrupted extra mucosal intestinal anastomosis in comparison with double layer intestinal anastomosisMethodology:This prospective comparative study was conducted in surgical A unit of Lady reading Hospital Peshawar from 1st June 2007 to 1st February 2008 (8 months).Patients were divided into two groups, each comprising 60 patients. First 60 consecutive patients were included in Group A, for single layer extra mucosal anastomosis while Group B included last 60 consecutive patients for double layer inverting anastomosis (continuous inner and interrupted outer Lambert sutures). All the cases were admitted through OPD and emergency. The safety of two techniques of anastomosis was analyzed by comparing the outcome in terms of complications.Results:In this study, anastomosis leakage occurred only in 4 (3.33%) patients, one (1.67%) in group A and three (5%) in group B with a P-Value 0.138. Mean age of patient in group A was 36.15 years (+/- 6.0 years) and in group B was 33.25 years (+/- 5.5 years).Conclusion:Single layer extra-mucosal anastomosis has least anastomotic leakage and other complication like wound infection, septicemia, and collection and burst abdomen than in patients with double layer investing anastomosis.

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy is more expensive and time consuming as compared to open technique. On the other hand, laparoscopic assisted appendectomy has the advantages of both the open and laparoscopic methods.Methods: This was a prospective comparative study of patients that underwent appendectomy by laparoscopic or laparoscopic assisted techniques.Results: A total of 40 patients were selected for the study. Standard laparoscopic technique was performed in 20 patients and laparoscopic assisted appendectomy was performed in 20 patients. The average operating time was 25.4±15 minutes in laparoscopic assisted appendectomy while it was 46.20±10.90 minutes in standard laparoscopic appendectomy which was statistically significant. Mean hospital stay in group A was 2.70±0.70 and in group B it was 2.10±0.70 which was not statistically significant.Conclusions: The laparoscopic-assisted method of appendix removal can be performed as efficiently as laparoscopically. It is fast and easy to perform, and it is expected to decrease the overall cost of laparoscopic appendectomy.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is employed when vaginal delivery is not feasible or hazardous to the mother and/or her baby. The procedure, however, is not without risk. We determined the fetomaternal outcomes of CS conducted at P.B.M Tertiary hospital situated in the North-Western region of Rajasthan.Methods: This is a Hospital based prospective comparative study of all CSs performed for various indications at the Dept. of Gynaecology and Obst., S.P. Medical College and P.B.M Hospital, Bikaner, India, from August 01, 2016, to July 31, 2017. All patients who had CS at any time within the 24 h period were noted and followed up until discharge. The sociodemographic data, types of CS, indications, and feto-maternal outcomes were documented in a proforma. Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS version 24.Results: There were 16386 deliveries out of which 4456 (27.1%) were by LSCS. The age range of the group A was 21-25 years while in group B it was 26-30 years. The mean age group A was 22.4, and group B it was 27.9 years. Total 6572 primigravida patients delivered and 32.1% had LSCS. Total 9814 multigravida patients delivered and 12.6% had primary LSCS. In group A, 119(79.3%) LSCS were elective as compared to group B where only 19(12.7%) were elective and this difference was found statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Indication of LSCS is different in both the groups. Fetal distress was most common indication in group A (53.3%) while in group B most common indication was APH (35.9%). Perinatal mortality/morbidity was significantly higher in group B (7.3%) as compared to group A (2.7%).Conclusions: The CS rate in this study was 27.1%. Although primary caesarean section in multipara constitutes only a small percentage of total deliveries and caesarean, they are associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity. The reason for these complications is many. Beside obstetrical causes, factors like lack of antenatal care, low socioeconomic status, anaemia, malnutrition and illiteracy also play a major role obstructed labor and previous CS among Maternal and perinatal complications were more frequent with emergency CS and in the referred cases.

Background: Hypospadias is the most common congenital malformation of the penis, affecting about 4-6 males per 1000 male births, and ranging in severity from a urethral meatus that is slightly off-center to a meatus in the perineal area, The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the application of fibrin sealant over the suture lines of neo-urethra reduces complications and improve overall outcome in children hypospadias repair.1,2 Methods: It was a prospective comparative study conducted in a tertiary care center (Department of pediatric surgery - Menoufia University), we included the patients age more than 6 months and less than 4 years presented with hypospadias to our department in this study. A total 30 patients of coronal, sub coronal, mid shaft hypospadias and distal hypospadias were studied and were divided into two groups, group (A) 15 cases and group (B) 15 cases. All patients underwent a tabularized incised plate (TIP) repair with a Dartos vascularized pedicle flap to cover the neo-urethra, In group (B) a thin layer of fibrin sealant applied over the suture line of neo-urethra but no sealant was used in group (A).Results: Postoperative surgical complications: urethra cutaneous fistula, flap dehiscence, flap necrosis and urethral stricture were recorded. Urethrocutaneous fistula flap dehiscence and flap necrosis were lower in group (B) patients. There was no significant difference in postoperative urethral stricture between two groups. Conclusions: Use of fibrin sealant in hypospadias repair is safe and can reduce complications.
