Hydatid cyst involving the urinary tract is relatively uncommon, we report a case of isolated hydatid cyst of the left kidney in a 55year old female presented with the left flank pain and passage of whitish grape like structures in urine (Hydatidurea).Clinical features mimic renal tumour, Diagnosis made by ultrasound and Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomograpgy (CECT) of the abdomen, patient underwent left nephrectomy after giving a course of Albendazole. Post -operative period was uneventful and patient is in good health.
Background: In the developed countries, ileostomy is mainly constructed as a protective cover for distal colorectal or ileoanal pouch anastomosis, but in developing countries, it is still often made in emergency surgical settings where infective conditions such as enteric or tubercular perforations are common and patients present late in their course of illness which precludes primary closure.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study is to compare health-related quality of life at 3, 6, and 12 months comparing early versus late closure of a temporary ileostomy.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 50 patients, 25 patients undergoing for early stoma closure and 25 patients undergoing for late closure ileostomy each in Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College, Jhansi, between January 2020 and June 2021.
Results: The mean age of patient undergoing early closure is 36.16 and mean age of patient undergoing late closure is 40.36, out of which 80% were male patient and 20% patient were female. Using SF-36 questionnaire, out of 8 domains, quality of life of early closure of ileostomy is significantly better in respect of 3 domains and that is physical functioning – P=0.004. Mean±SD score for early stoma closure 80.6±22.495 for late closure 73.00±25.247. Social functioning P=0.05. Mean±SD score for early stoma closure, 74.00±4.243 late stoma closure 71.50 ±0.707. Role emotion P=0.04, Mean±SD score for early stoma closure 80.00±4.00 late closure 74.67±12.20.
Conclusion: We concluded that quality of life in early closure of ileostomy is significantly better in respect of 3 domains (physical functioning, social functioning, and role emotion) out of 8 domains in SF-36 questionnaire than quality of life in late closure of ileostomy.
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.
