Aim: The outcome comparison of total extraperitoneal versus mesh repair for inguinal hernia. Study design: Quasi experimental study. Place and duration of study: Department of Surgery, M. Islam Teaching Hospital, Gujranwala from March 2018 to March 2019. Methodology: After the approval of hospital ethical committee, a total of 50 patients were included and randomly divided into two groups equally. Group A (Total extraperitoneal), Group B (Mesh repair). An informed consent was taken from every patient about operative procedure and the outcome. A detailed history of the patient i.e. clinical examination, routine investigations (CBC, Urine R/E, urea, creatinine) and some specific investigations (chest X-ray, ECG and ultrasound abdomen and prostate) was done for surgery. All data of patients was collected on proforma and was analyzed with the help of a computer SPSS programme 20. Results: The mean age of patients was 34.22±11.54 years in group A and 35.63±11.25 years in group B. All male and female patients included in this study in both groups. Twelve (48%) of patients were direct inguinal hernia in group A 13(22%) were in group B and 14(56%) patients were in group A and 11(44%) patients were in group B. The mean±SD postoperative hospital stay was 24.48±4.62 in group A and 34.65±12.26 hours in group B (p 0.001). The mean±SD postoperative recovery time in weeks was 2.18±0.43 in group A and 2.90±0.46 weeks in group B (p 0.001). Only 2 (4%) patient had postoperative infection on first week and 4 (8%) patients had infection respectively. No recurrence was seen in group A and only 3% recurrence was in group B. Conclusion: It is concluded that group A had shorter hospital stay, recovery time, postoperative time and less infection rate as compared to group B. In group A 13% patients had severe pain and in group B 25% patients. Keywords: Inguinal Hernia, Total extraperitoneal, Mesh repair.

BACKGROUND: The standard method of repair of Para-umbilical hernia (PUH) and Epigastric herniais by the Mayo technique, using a double-breasted flap of the rectus sheath. The result of this techniquein the hands of others is highly variable. The present study describes and evaluates the comparison of aProlene mesh versus simple anatomical repair of (PUH) and Epigastric hernias. The use of a Prolenemesh in hernia repair is not a new concept with previous investigators yielding consistently excellentresults in the repair of Para-umbilical and Epigastric Hernias.OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of the two modalities of surgical procedures (mesh versussimple anatomical repair) in terms of post-operative complications, hospital stay and rate of recurrencein two groups of Para-umbilical and epigastric hernia patients.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This comparative prospective study was conducted in the Departmentof Surgery Saidu group of teaching Hospital Saidu Sharif Swat KPK. One Hundred and Thirty twoconsecutive patients having large size, Para umbilical and epigastric hernia were included for the study,from Feb 2010 to Feb 2014 in two groups, 72 (group A) for mesh repair and 60 (group B) for simpleanatomical repair. All patients of these type hernias were admitted throughout patient department(OPD). Less than 4cm size hernia, Pregnant ladies, patients having strangulated hernia presented asemergency and patient unfit for general anesthesia were excluded from study.RESULTS: Majority of patients 63% belong to age of 35 to 60 years and 87 % were females. Supraumbilical swelling was the commonest presentation 80%.Cough impulse and reducibility was positive in90% of cases (some Epigastric hernias were irreducible). Contents of sac were omentum in 74% to 83%and small intestine 17% to 26%. Operative time was longer in group A (mesh repair) ranged from 60 to90 minutes while that was 50 to 70 minutes in group B (simple anatomical repair). Post-operativeevaluation took place after 2weeks then, 1, 2, 3months then 6monthly for 30 months (average 18months). The number of complications requiring treatment was the primary aim. There were threerecurrences observed in group A (4.16%) but six cases of group B (10%) presented with recurrence inwhich simple anatomical repaired was performed. The mean hospital stay for group A was 3.7 days andfor group B, 4.6 days.CONCLUSION: Mesh repair compare to simple anatomical repair, is with less hospital stay and lessrecurrence for Para umbilical and epigastric hernia having a defect of more than4 cm in leneaAlba.KEYWORDS: Para-umbilical hernia, simple repair, meshplasty, complications, recuurence.

INTRODUCTION: Over the years, surgeons tried the placement of mesh at different locations like On-lay, Under-lay, Sub-lay and pre-peritoneal, retroperitoneal intraperitoneal, Inter-muscular, etc. with each procedure having its advantages and disadvantages. Commonly Onlay and sub lay mesh repairs are done. Though the literature says, sub lay procedures have fewer complications and a high success rate. However, in a few studies, the ideal position for mesh repair appears to be retro muscular, where the force of abdominal pressure holds the mesh against deep surfaces of muscles. In this study, a comparison of both Onlay and retro rectus procedures with regards to the duration of surgery, postoperative complications like seroma, wound infection, wound dehiscence, and also the period of postoperative stay in the hospital. The aim of the study is To compare 'Onlay' versus 'retro rectus' mesh repair in inuencing the outcome in incisional hernia with regards to Duration of surgery, Postoperative complications like seroma formation, wound infection, Postoperative stay, Recurrences. PATIENTS AND METHODOLOGY: Type of Study: A Prospective comparative study Study Setting: Department of general surgery, Narayana Medical College & Hospital, Nellore.Study Period: November 2018 to September 2020 Study Sample: 50 cases, divided into two groups by random allocation technique. Groups A and B with 25 patients in each group. RESULTS: The mean age of cases in Group A is 40.48 years. The mean age of patients in Group B is 44.08 years. Youngest was 31 years and 36 years in group A and group B, respectively, and the eldest was 51 years and 53 years in group A and group B, respectively. In Group A, 11 were male, and 14 were female, and in Group B, 11 were male, and 14 were female. The male to female ratio in the study was 1:1.27. The mean Operative Time in Group A was 1.93 Hrs, and that in Group B was 2.98Hrs. Nine patients (36%) in group A and one patient (4%) in group B had seroma formation. Eight patients (32%) in group A and one patient (4%) in group B had a wound infection. The mean Hospital Stay in Group A was 5.44 Days, and Group B was 4.88 days. No short-term recurrences were noted in either of the two groups when followed for six months. CONCLUSION : Retrorectus mesh repair is an excellent alternative to Onlay mesh repair that may apply to incisional hernia. The mesh-related overall complication rate like seroma wound infections and hospital stay is less than Onlay mesh repair.

Background: Inguinal mesh hernioplasty is one of the common procedures performed all over the world. It can be done either through open or laparoscopic techniques. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty versus laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) mesh repair considering, duration of the surgery, hospital stay, and duration to resume normal activity, degree of postoperative pain, wound infection, recurrence and complications.Methods: Adult patients presented to the general surgical OPD, with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia underwent either Lichtenstein repair or laparoscopic repair by TAPP.Results: Patients in Group A (open-repair) had significantly greater level of local pain during rest and during routine activities than those within Group B (laparoscopic group) during the postoperative period assessed on the visual-analogue scale. Mean operative time for open hernia repair was 43.7 minutes and for laparoscopic hernia repair was 59.03 minutes and the difference were statistically significant (p=0.0001). The mean duration of hospital stay for open hernia repair was 2.16 days and that for laparoscopic hernia repair was 1.08 days with a (p=0.00001) which was statistically significant. The time to resume routine activities was much shorter among Group B patients than patients in Group A. Only one recurrence (3.3%) was seen in Group B after 6 months follow up.Conclusions: It is concluded that laparoscopic TAPP repair of inguinal hernia in adults is safe and preferred operation as compared to open inguinal hernia repair.

Introduction: Gallstones are common biliary pathology. The Vast majority of subjects are asymptomatic. About 0.2% of the population suffering from gallstones develop acute cholecystitis every year. In case of acute calculous cholecystitis, cholecystectomy can be performed early i.e during the same admission or interval i.e after 6 weeks of conservative management. Objective: To compare the early and interval cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis for morbidity, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay and complications. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: Department of Surgery Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Duration of Study: Two year study from December 2007 to December 2009. Subject and Methods: Sixty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A patients were managed by early cholecystectomy and group B patients by intervalcholecystectomy. Postoperatively patients were evaluated for postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay and postoperative complications. Results: The mean age of the patients in group A was 42.2 + 10.7 years and in group B was 42.2+ 10.7 years. The Male to female ratio was 1:4 in both groups. The mean postoperative hospital stay in group A was 4.0+ 1.8days and in group B was 3.8+ 1.4 days. The mean total hospital stayin group A was 6.5 + 1.7 days and in group B was 10.2 + 1.3 days. The P value was less than 0.001, which was significant. In distribution of postoperative complications, in group A there were 1(3.3%) injury to biliary tree, 4(13.3%) wound infection,1(3.3%) wound haematoma, 3 (10%) seroma and 1(3.3%) wound dehiscence. While in group B there were 1(3.3%) injury to biliary tree, 3(10%) wound infection,2 (6.7%) wound haematoma, 2(6.7%) & no patient of wound dehiscence. Conclusion: Our study suggests that early cholecystectomy is a better treatment option than interval cholecystectomy because it has less total hospital stay, needs single hospital visit and has no risk of developing complications during wait for surgery.

Abstract Background: A retrospective study investigated and compared the results of a lamina withspinous process (LSP) and an iliac graft (IG) as bone grafts in single-segment lumbar pyogenic discitis (LPD) through one-stage-posterior-only approach with radical debridement and internal instrumentation.Methods: Data from 37 patients were reviewed. A LSP was placed in 17 patients (group A), and an IG was implemented in 20 patients (group B). The surgery time, surgery hemorrhage, hospital stay, drainage, and follow-up (FU) were reviewed. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, segmental angle, intervertebral height and bony fusion time were compared preoperatively and at the final FU.Results: All patients were followed-up for a mean of 27.94±2.35 months in group A and 30.29±1.89 months in group B, without a difference. The mean age was younger in group A than in group B (P<0.05). The surgery time, surgery hemorrhage, and hospitalization cost were lower in group A than in group B (P<0.05), except for the hospital stay and drainage time. Fever occurred in 10 patients in group A and 12 patients in group B. The ESR, CRP level, and VAS and ODI scores were significantly decreased, and there were no significant differences between the groups at the final FU. The distribution of bacterial agents in blood culture was 1 case of Aerobacter cloacae, 2 of Staphylococcus aureus, 2 of Escherichia coli, and 1 of Streptococcus viridis in group A and 1 of S. aureus，1 of Staphylococcus warneri and 2 of Klebsiella pneumoniae in group B. Pyogenic infection was observed in the pathological findings of all patients. No significant difference was found in the mean segmental angle or mean intervertebral height preoperation and at the final FU between the groups.Conclusion: The use of LSP as a new bone graft is reliable, safe, and effective for surgical management for the LPD while surgery is proposed as a good management strategy for LPD in carefully selected patients.

A prospective double-blind study was conducted to compare the anti-emetic efficacy of ondansetron and droperidol in preventing postoperative emesis following strabismus surgery. A sample size of 213 patients was divided into three equal groups to receive ondansetron 150 μg/kg (Group A), ondansetron 75 μg/kg (Group B), or droperidol 75 fig/kg (Group C). All patients received a standardized anaesthetic technique. All episodes of emesis, recovery time, and time to tolerating oral fluids were recorded. The incidence of emesis during 24 hours was Groups A and B 19.7%, and Group C 28.2%. The lower incidence of emesis recorded by the ondansetron groups compared with the droperidol group was not statistically significant. Ondansetron at 75 μg/kg was as effective as 150 μg/kg in reducing emesis when compared with droperidol. Mean time to discharge from the recovery room was 75.3 minutes (Group A), 44.4 minutes (Group B), and 41.0 minutes (Group C). The mean time to tolerating oral fluids was 356.5 minutes (Group A), 402.8 minutes (Group B), and 378.1 minutes (Group C). There was no statistical difference in discharge times from recovery or time to tolerating oral fluids in any of the three groups.

Summary Many of the children referred to the emergency complain of head trauma. Children usually require sedition to reduce their failure and fear because of high activity and fear of performing computed tomography (CT). Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam belong to short-acting drugs for this purpose. This study aimed to compare the effect of the above mentioned drugs on sedition in children. Children referred to the emergency department were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was sedated with 0.05 mg/kg IV Midazolam and group B with 2μg/kg IV Dexmedetomidine over 10 minutes (loading dose), and then repeat boluses 2μg/kg IV over 10 minutes. Measurements included induction time, recovery time, efficacy, side effects, complications, and failure with each drug and vital signs and RAMSY scale. SPSS V.20 was used for data analysis. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Totally, 100 patients participated in the current study (44 girls and 56 boys). The mean and standard deviation of age was 5.3 ± 2.5 years. During the study, just 5 patients (10%) from group A did not have appropriate sedition following the injection of first dose of Midazolam and received the second dose. However, in B group patients no such case was reported. No significant difference was observed among blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and RAMSY Scale among the groups. No significant difference was seen between efficacy of Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine in pediatric sedation. More research should be done for generalization of our findings .

Background: Ideal method for modern hernia surgery should be simple, cost effective, safe, tension free and permanent. The Lichtenstein operation to a great extent achieves this entire goal. The Lichtenstein mesh repair is associated with complications, postoperative dysfunction and high cost composite meshes. Desarda's technique, became a new surgical option for tissue-based inguinal hernia repair. The present study was designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and complications of the Desarda’s repair with Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair for treatment of inguinal hernia in a developing country.Methods: 200 patients with unilateral, primary, reducible inguinal hernia were selected. Included patients were randomly divided into two groups. Studied parameters were Duration of surgery, intra operative complications, post-operative Pain, Duration of hospital stay, return to normal activities, post-operative complications and recurrences.Results: There were a total of 100 patients each group. There was no statistically significant difference in duration of surgery and complication rate between the two groups. Difference in mean VAS was not statistically significant. The mean hospital stay in Desarda’s technique was 2.5 days while it was 2.6 days in Lichtenstein’s group. The mean time to return to basic physical activity in the Desarda’s technique was 12.6 days while it was 13.3 days in the Lichtenstein’s group. There were no recurrences in either group. Chronic inguinal pain (>1month) was more frequent in Lichtenstein’s group.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in duration of surgery, intra operative complication rate, post-operative pain, complications and recurrence, between Desarda’s technique and Lichtenstein’s technique. However chronic inguinal pain is less in Desarda’s technique. Desarda’s repair must be considered in young patients (<30 years). Its long-term efficacy needs to be studied with larger, prospective double-blind randomized trials, with longer follow-up.

Objectives: This study is aimed to compare the results of limited urethral mobilization and tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in the management of anterior hypospadias, in terms of cosmetic and functional outcomes, complication rate, operative time, and hospital stay. Study Design: Prospective Randomized Controlled study. Settings: Department of Pediatric Surgery, DHQ Teaching Hospital Sahiwal. Period: January 2019 to December 2020. Material and Methods: A total of 89 patients with anterior hypospadias were included. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. In group A, limited urethral mobilization was performed and in group B, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was carried out. A self-structured performa was used to collect the data of all patients. Both groups were compared in terms of the operation time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, cosmetic appearance, and functional outcomes. Results: Forty-five patients were included in group A, age ranged from 2.5 to 12 years (mean 4.83years). Forty-four patients were included in group B and their ages ranged from 3.5 to 11years (mean 4.76 years). The operation time was significantly less for group A than for group B. In group A, it ranged from 54 to 69 min with an average time of 60.51 min and in group B from 70 to 88 min, with an average of 79.34 min. The mean hospital stay period in group A was 7.37 days, ranged from 7 to 9 days, and in group B was 11.04 days, ranging from 10 to 13 days. The mean follow-up period in both groups was 7.45 months, ranging from 3 months to 12 months. Meatal stenosis was the most common complication in group A, which developed in 6.66% (n=3) patients. Urethrocutaneous fistula was the most common complication in group B, which developed in 6.81% (n=3) patients. Cosmetic appearance and functional outcome were good and comparable in both groups. Conclusion: Although both techniques, tubularized incised plate and limited urethral mobilization urethroplasty are acceptable modalities for the management of anterior hypospadias. But limited urethral mobilization urethroplasty seems to be a good option due to its simplicity, short hospital stay, significant shorter operative time, low fistula formation rate, and good cosmetic and functional outcomes.
