“…Similarly, in a daycase surgery, the skin wound closure must be performed with adequate suture material that can avo id wound dehiscence and infection 7 . To achieve an aesthetic but full skin closure, the choice between the absorbable, Vicryl suture and the non-absorbable, Prolene suture is critical 8 . Since absorbable sutures do not need to be removed, they save time in the hospital and also reduce patients' anxiety 9 .…”

Objective: To compare the post-operative outcomes after skin closure with Vicryl as compared to Prolene in paediatric day case surgeries. Study Design: Comparative Cross-sectional Study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Paediatric Surgery, Children Hospital, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad for six months (1st November,2021 to 30th April,2022) Patients and Methods: A total of sixty patients under the age of 12 years, who presented for day-case surgeries were divided into two groups: Vicryl (group A) and Prolene (group B). A single surgical team performed all the surgeries. The incidence of outcomes, such as pain, hematoma, infection, suture breakage and keloid formation was recorded after the procedure. At the 30th post-operative day, the scar assessment scale was used to evaluate the wound's healing. Results: Comparitive Cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 patients who underwent surgeries, having 30 in each group. Age and scar score for both the groups were compared. There was no sigfnificant difference observed for age p = 0.628 and it was significant for scars p = 0.007. Incidence of pain and infection was not statistically significant p ≥ 0.05. No hematoma, keloids and suture breakage were observed in both the sutures. Success Rate of Vicryl was 76.7% and that of Prolene was 93.3%. Success was positively correlated with scar r = 0.685. Conclusion: In our paediatric samples, we analyzed and concluded that prolene suture was better as compared to vicryl in terms of pain and infection. Keywords: Absorbable sutures, Day-case surgeries, Non-absorbable sutures, Prolene, Vicryl.

Testicular rupture after blunt scrotal trauma is characterized by tearing of the tunica albuginea resulting in the extrusion of seminiferous tubules. Imaging plays a crucial role in the assessment of scrotal trauma in particular the ultrasound examination directs patients management towards conservative or surgical treatment. Conventional B-Mode and Color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) are the main imaging techniques in the evaluation of the testicle in trauma but may underestimate the extent of the injury. In addition to the integrity or interruption of the tunica albuginea, the most important information for the surgeon is the extent of vital testicular tissue, an often difficult assessment with conventional ultrasound examination because the injured testicle is often hypovascular even in vital regions, as a result of testicular edema that compromises vascular flow. The selective use of advanced techniques such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is important in identifying testicular viablity when CDUS is equivocal. This case study describes the evaluation and management of a blunt testicular trauma in a 15-year-old football player.
