In India, gastro-duodenal ulcers are among the most prevalent diseases affecting people. Although much research has been done on the etiology of this disorder, especially in our region of the country, no single etiological agent can be blamed for the development of this particular sickness. Because stress is the single most signicant factor in producing peptic ulcers and because modern life is so stressful and demanding, this condition is becoming more common. One of the devastating events that can happen to a person with gastroduodenal ulcers is perforation. The infection with H. pylori has a signicant role in the development of stomach cancer and peptic ulcer disease. Even while the virus may be found in more than 50% of the world's population, only a small percentage of those people would experience ulcer disease or stomach cancer. This investigation aims to determine H. Pylori's contribution to the development of gastroduodenal perforation(1,2).
INTRODUCTION Haemorrhoids are the most common anorectal disease seen in age group between 45-50 years. Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy is the gold standard operative procedure for grade 3 and grade 4 haemorrhoids.In the last decade high frequency sound wave energy ultrasonic scalpel is used to cut and coagulate tissues in Milligan-Morgan haemorrhoidectomy. OBJECTIVE Our aim is to do a comparative study between the outcomes of a Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy by using ultrasonic scalpel versus diathermy cautery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective comparative randomized study done over a period of 6months (April 2022-September 2022) at GGH Vijayawada. 60 patients of age group 45-65 years. They were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 each. Group A – Underwent haemorrhoidectomy with diathermy cautery Group B- Underwent haemorrhoidectomy with harmonic scalpel. RESULTS Patients who underwent harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy have statistically signicant P value in post operative pain , post op urinary retention and anal stenosis. CONCLUSION Harmonic scalpel is better than diathermy in having relatively less post operative pain and early resumption of daily activities and less occurrence of urinary retention and anal stenosis
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.
