Major milestones in surgery have included safe sutures to promote tissue integrity, cautery to minimize bleeding, the use of anesthesia to avoid pain, and antisepsis to prevent operative contamination. In the antibiotic era, surgical procedures for source control in abdominal sepsis have been complemented with drugs targeting persistent organisms after luminal inflammation, obstruction, or perf...

Abdominal Wall Haematoma Complicating Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Of 61 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 4 (6.25%) developed abdominal wall haematomas. This complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy may occur more commonly than existing literature suggests, and manifests in the post-operative period (days 2 to 6) by visible bruising, excessive pain or an asymptomatic drop in haematocrit. It is readily confirmed by ultrasonograp...

Glomerular Filtration Rate Changes in Neonates with Sepsis Treated with Amikacin and Cefotaxime

 Background and purpose: Aminoglycosides (AG) such as Amikacin that are widely used to prevent and treat infections in neonates have nephrotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of urinary index to Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in diagnosis of tubular renal injury following administration of Amikacin in neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Materia...
