INTRODUCTION: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common condition affecting men those are 50 years of age and above.TURP is still the widely used technique for management of BPH. TURPwith advent of newer technologies in diathermy and visual scope, has turned into a relatively safe one. AIM:To study role of catheter traction on blood loss and complications in patients with TURP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was done among patients of BPH admitted in the Department of Surgery at S.N. Medical College, Agra during the period from January 2019 to February 2020. Total 60 cases were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups. Group A(30 patients) with traction on catheter after TURPand Group B(30 patients) without traction on catheter. DISCUSSION: Blood loss and irrigation uid was signicantly less in the group with traction on foley's catheter. Duration of hospital stay and complications were also lesser in group with traction. CONCLUSION: Traction on foley's catheter post TURP is effective in managing BPH with the merits of higher safety due to less blood loss and early discharge.

Introduction: Popular Swenson's pull through (1948) is still the most commonly practiced 'Gold Standard' of operative treatment for rectosigmoid hirschsprung's disease (HD). But minimally invasive transanal endorectal pull through (TERPT) is now being increasingly practiced worldwide for its treatment in many centers. Here we are describing our comparative experience between TERPT and Swenson's pull through, at Dhaka Shishu Hospital to show the per-operative advantages of the former over the latter. Materials and methods: It is a prospective study at Dhaka Shishu Hospital during January 2000 to December 2001 in 32 (age, body weight and resected Rectosigmoid length matched) biopsy confirmed patients of HD divided into two Groups: Gr. A (na = 16) and Gr. B (nb = 16) patients who underwent TERPT and Swenson's pull through respectively. Unpaired 't' and χ2 (with Yate's correction) tests were used for statistical analysis whereas operative duration, volume of blood loss and transfusion requirements were used as parameters of the study. Results: For study Group A (TERPT) - operative time, volume of blood loss and transfusion requirement were significantly lesser (P < 0.01, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001 respectively) than the control Group B (Swenson's procedure). Conclusions: Through this small comparative study, TERPT was found to be more advantageous than the Swenson's pull through procedure in terms of operative duration, blood loss and transfusion requirement. Key words: TERPT; Swenson's; Compare. DOI: 10.3329/bjch.v31i1.6068 Bangladesh Journal of Child Health 2007; Vol.31(1-3): 12-15

Background: Varicose veins are dilated, tortuous veins. It is an extremely common condition causing substantial morbidity. Prevalence of varicose veins ranges between 5% to 30% in adult population. Surgery is preferred over conservative treatment in symptomatic primary varicosis of the great saphenous vein (GSV). This study aims to compare the efficacy of GSV stripping by invagination technique in comparison to the conventional method in terms of time taken to strip the vein, the length of vein stripped, post-operative pain, area of bruising and intra-operative blood loss.Methods: The study was conducted in Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre located in Pimpri, Pune between July 2017 to September 2019.It is a prospective comparative Study. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups alternately where group A and B were operated by conventional and invagination techniques respectively and their outcomes were compared.Results: The mean age of the cases in Group A (conventional stripping) was 52 years and in group B (Invagination stripping) was 53 years. Blood loss was significantly more in conventional stripping compared to invagination stripping (p<0.001). The post-operative (after 1 week) mean VAS of the cases in Group A was 3.1 and 2.3 respectively while in group B it was 2.9 and 2.1 respectively. Time taken to get back to activity was significantly more in conventional stripping compared to invagination stripping (p<0.001).Conclusions: From this study we concluded that Invagination stripping is a suitable alternative to time honoured conventional varicose vein stripping with added advantage of less blood loss, less postoperative pain and shorter time span to get back to work.

Background: The objective of the study was to validate Amit Jain’s staging system for cellulitis in diabetic and non-diabetic lower limbs and to predict the outcomes associated with cellulitis and surgical procedures done in them.Methods: We conducted a prospective study in department of surgery at Raja Rajeswari Medical College and Hospital Bengaluru, India. The study period was from December 2018 to November 2019. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22 and R environment ver.3.2.2.Results: A total of 36 patients were included in this study of which 21 were diabetics and were in placed in group A and 15 were non diabetics and placed in group B. 83.3% of the patients were males. 73.3% of non-diabetics had stage 1 cellulitis and 33.3% of diabetics had stage 1 and 2 each. 47.2% of patients underwent debridement and it was significantly common in diabetics (p=0.037) and also it was common in higher stages of cellulitis (p=0.001). 8.3% had amputation in this series. All the major amputations were done in stage 4 cellulitis (p=0.002).Conclusions: In this validation study, it can be seen that cellulitis is common in both diabetics and non-diabetics but it is severe in diabetic patients. Stage 3 was more common in diabetics compared to non-diabetics. Amit Jain’s staging system of cellulitis is a simple, easy, practical, focal classification that guides therapy and predicts amputation.

Background: Many minimally invasive interventional techniques as well as expectant treatments exist for the management of lower ureteric calculi.Methods: 100 patients [group A (50 patients) patients given capsule tamsulosin 0.4mg, 1 daily up to 4 weeks while group B (50 patients) patients given regularly practiced treatment without Tamsulosin] with distal ureteric stone included in the study. Study duration was 6 months and study performed at S.P. Medical College. Bikaner, Rajasthan, India.Results: Group A showed a statistically significant advantage in terms of the stone expulsion rate. 41 patients (82%) in group A and 30 patients (60%) in group B expelled stones. Overall patients in group A had mean expulsion time of 7.86 days, whereas in group B mean expulsion time was 18.64 days. In group A stone expulsion rate was higher as compared to group B. In group A only 12 (24%) patients experienced pain relapses whereas in group B 32 (64%) patients reported pain relapses. The diclofenac dosage required in group A was observed to be 1.62 tablets whereas in group B it was 2.6 tablets.Conclusions: It is concluded that tamsulosin should be considered for uncomplicated distal ureteral calculi before ureteroscopy or extracorporeal lithotripsy. Tamsulosin has been found to increase and hasten stone expulsion rates, decrease acute attacks by acting as a spasmolytic, reduces mean days to stone expulsion and decreases analgesic dose usage.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for growth of secondary sexual characters and accessory sex organs. Despite the effectiveness as a male sex i101711011C, testosterone causes benign preemie hyperplasia (BPH) resulting in urinary dysfinction. On the other hand. Bromide is a pure anthestosterone, which blockw the effects of dihydnoestosterone (DHT)at the testosterone receptor and presents BM. The objective of the study was to observe the effects of flutamide on testosterone induced promatic hypetplasia in Long Evans rats. This experimental study was carried or I e Department of Anatomy. Sir Salimullah Medical College. Dhaka from January to December 2006. Forty five matured male Long Evans rats of age 8-10 weeks and weighing 200-300 gnu were used in this study. They were divided into three equal groups. Group A was vehicle (olive oil) control group. Group B was testosterone treated group and Group C was testosterone and flu:amide treated group. Comparative study in different groups were done microscopically. There was significant reduction (p<0.001) qproslatic hypetplasia. The mean diameter of acini of prostate in flutamide treated rats was loner than the testosterone treated rats. It can be concluded from this study that flatamide is an effective drug against testosterone induced prostatic hyperplasia.

Background: Laparotomy incisions have traditionally been made using a scalpel. Diathermy, a latest technique, is thought to increase the risk of infection, impair healing and decrease cosmesis. Recent studies suggest that diathermy may offer likely advantages with respect to blood loss, incision time and postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of surgical diathermy incisions versus conventional scalpel incisions for midline laparotomy in our hospital with an aim to evaluate diathermy as an operational alternative to scalpel incision.Methods: This was a prospective randomized clinical study which was conducted in the surgical wards of Medical College & SSG hospital, Vadodara, between December 2013 and December 2014.  Patients were randomly assigned to two groups i.e. Group A (scalpel group) and Group B (diathermy group).Results: A total of 148 patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 74 patients were randomized to Group A (scalpel group) and 74 patients to Group B (diathermy group). The two groups did not vary significantly in relation to age and sex (p>0.001). Laparotomy skin incisions using diathermy were significantly quicker than scalpel incisions (p=0.624). There was significantly less blood loss in the diathermy group compared with the scalpel group (P=0.15). The mean visual analogue scale was significantly reduced more in the diathermy group than in scalpel group patients on postoperative day 1 (p=0.81), day 3 (p=0.71) and day 5 (p=0.79) respectively. Postoperative complication rates did not differ significantly between the scalpel and diathermy groups (p=0.624).Conclusions: We concluded that diathermy incision in midline laparotomy has significant advantages compared with the scalpel because of reduced incision time, less blood loss, reduced early postoperative pain and postoperative wound infection.

Background: Raktapradara manifesting as excessive bleeding per vagina is seen to be an age old disease known to mankind since the era of Veda and Purana. Excessive and irregular menstrual bleeding condition is similar to Raktapradara a gynaecological condition mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. Rakta Pradara is one among the Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara and characterized by Artava Ati Pravrutti, Deerga Kala Pravrutti, Anruta Kala Pravrutti, Daha in Adho Vankshana Pradesha, Sroni, Prushta and Kukshi, Shoola in Garbhashaya, Angamardha etc. Objectives: To clinically evaluate the effect of Khanda Kushmanda Avaleha in Raktapradara. Materials and Methods: The patients attending the O.P.D. and I.P.D. of S.V.M Ayurvedic Medical College and PG Centre, Ilkal, were randomly divided into 2 groups, Group A was treated with Khanda Kusmanda Avaleha and Group B was treated with Placebo Capsule. Results: Khanda Kushmanda Avaleha cured 12 patients i.e. 85.71% followed by markedly improvement in 2 patients i.e. 14.28%. Placebo capsule mildly improved 61.54% i.e. 8 patients followed by no improvement to 38.46% i.e. 5 patients. Discussion: The effect of therapy on chief complaints in Group A is better than Group B. Percentage wise Khanda Kusmanda Avaleha gave 86.3% relief on duration of blood loss, 85.7% on Interval between two cycles and 58.3% on Amount of total blood loss during one period while Placebo capsule gave 27.2% relief on Duration of blood loss, 20% on Interval between cycle, and 21.05% relief on Amount of blood loss. So, more relief was observed on chief complaints in Group - A i.e. Khanda Kusmanda Avaleha.
