Introduction Suture line disruption is an important cause of post-operative morbidity and mortality in patients who have undergone bowel surgery. Our aim was to study peri-operative factors causing anastomotic disruption in emergency surgeries and also morbidity and mortality associated with it. AfterMethodology obtaining ethical clearance from Institutional Ethical Committee, the present prospective study was conducted on 68 patients during the study period of two years (September 2017- August 2019) in a tertiary care hospital A total of 68 emergencyResults bowel anastomosis meeting the inclusion criteria were performed with 50 (73.5%) males patients. Anastomotic leak was present in 10 patients ((14.7%). The mean age of subjects in our series sustaining a leak was 62.60±6.95 years. Intra-operative hypotension, colo-colic anastomosis, post-operative vasopressor support, pre-operative hypoalbuminemia, hyponatremia and Intra-operative uid infused were signicantly associated with anastomosis leak. In our study majority of patients with anastomotic leak were of older age group. In anstomotic leak group chest infection, wound infection, septicemia and impaired renal function was present in 8, 10, 3, and 4 patients respectively. Among the 10 cases of anastomotic leak, four patients were managed conservatively and remaining six develop features of peritonitis, who were immediately taken for re-exploration. There were three deaths in the study, all of them were in leak group. Patients who have predisposing factors forConclusion leakage should ideally be considered for a temporary defunctioning stoma to tide the crisis over.
PURPOSE:- The objective of this study was to assess the effect of Totally extra-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair on testicular perfusion and testicular volume. METHODS: - After obtaining ethical clearance from institutional ethical committee, the present Prospective study was conducted on 48 male patients with unilateral inguinal hernia in a tertiary care hospital. RESULTS: - The study was conducted on 48 patients over a period of 2 years from august 2017 to august 2019 after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their mean age was 45.70 years (range 21-72 years). In our study comparison of preoperative and postoperative values at third and sixth month in the patients did not show any statistically signicant alteration in the variables studied like testicular volume (p-0.987) and blood ow perfusion parameters Peak systolic velocity (p-0.591); End Diastolic velocity (p-0.526); Resistance index (p-0.415). CONCLUSION: - No alteration in testicular volume and arterial ow over a six-month period was observed among patients who underwent laparoscopic extra-peritoneal surgical correction using polypropylene prosthesis for inguinal hernia
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
