“…In addition, the hospital regulation by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2406/MENKES/PER/XII/2011 regarding the general guidelines for the use of antibiotics also stated that first- and second-generation cephalosporins are recommended as surgical prophylaxis [ 41 , 42 ]. According to Koento and Saleh [ 43 ], the optimal time to provide a prophylactic antibiotic was 0–30 minutes before the incision. The risk of infection would increase if prophylactic antibiotics are administered > 30 minutes before or after the incision.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the functional outcomes, satisfaction, and quality of life of patients with microtia following reconstructive surgery. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data of patients with microtia following reconstructive surgery using the Nagata technique. Data were obtained from the medical records of patients who underwent reconstructive surgery at the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between 2014 and 2018. All eligible patients were referred to participate in this study between November 2018 and March 2019. The hearing function was assessed by a professional audiologist after surgery. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by interview using a previously developed questionnaire, while quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol-5D-Young questionnaire. Results Thirty-one eligible subjects were included in the study. Pain and discomfort were the most commonly reported factors related to the quality of life following surgery. Approximately 67.7% of the patients were satisfied; 19.4% were very satisfied, and 12.9% reported acceptance of their surgical outcomes. The most common complication was infection (n = 8). Most patients did not experience any problems in their lives after microtia surgery. Conclusions The highest rate of satisfactory outcomes was observed for the lobule subunit, which was assumed to be associated with the use of the Z-plasty technique. The most common complication was infection, as environmental hygiene was the most important factor. Thus, further concern for maintaining good hygiene is necessary to improve the quality of reconstructive surgery. The level of satisfaction with microtia reconstructive surgery was adequate. Most patients had a good health-related quality of life without experiencing any problems.

Objectives: The intestinal obstruction is a widespread emergency problem in our surgical practice day by day. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in our health system. It is caused by adhesions, hernias, malignancies, endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease stenosis, intussusception, and others. Our research aims to identify the etiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentations of the pathology so that we can manage the disease as early as possible for better outcomes in our peripheral institution. Methods: The study was performed on 100 cases of the age group 12–76 years admitted in the surgical ward of Midnapore Medical College and Hospital, Paschim Medinipur (W.B.) from December 2016 to June 2018. Cases of acute intestinal obstruction who underwent operation were included in our research to establish the pathology of intestinal obstruction. Results: In our study, the incidence of acute intestinal obstruction is 1.6% of total surgical cases. Maximum patients (25%) were in the age group 51– 60 years. The most common cause of intestinal obstruction was obstructed/strangulated hernia (40%). The most common symptoms were pain abdomen (88%), abdominal distension (84%), and vomiting (78%). An X-ray revealed presence of air-fluid levels in 75% of patients. The overall mortality rate was 10%. Conclusion: The morbidity and mortality of intestinal obstruction are dependent on early diagnosis, prompt resuscitation, and proper management. The critical determinants of the morbidity are age of the patient, duration of the disease, existing comorbidity, and delay in treatment. X-ray in erect view is an essential mode of diagnostic method and obstructed hernia is the most common etiology of obstruction in our research study.
