PURPOSE We reviewed our recent experience with inguinal lymph node dissection in patients with penile cancer to assess the incidence and magnitude of complications caused by this procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Radical bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed in 170 patients (340 procedures). Prophylactic and therapeutic radical inguinal lymphadenectomy was done in 67 (39.4%) and 103...

INTRODUCTION Management of non-traumatic perforation of the small intestine has always been a consideration for surgeons because of associated enormous morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of data on the management of non-traumatic perforation of the small intestine. METHODOLOGY A retrospective study was conducted which involved analysis of 192 patients treated for non-traumatic perfor...

Introduction: Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation in boys. One of the common surgical techniques for correction of hypospadias is (Tubularized Incised Plate urethraplasty=TIP). Meatal stenosis and fistula formation are known post-operative complications. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of early urethral dilatation in prevention of post operative complications. Me...

Hospital as a health service unit that provides services in general and special fields, one of which is operating room services. The biggest issue this installation surgical wound infection, where many factors influence condition. Education to patients families regarding information on infections can be given starting from before rehabilitation, during surgery after the rehabilitation process. ...

Abstract Introduction In some settings, it is not appropriate to close wounds primarily, such as when patients are felt be at high risk for wound infection. FFT a useful method of closure in these following open AWR. Methods A consecutive series were closed with AWR from 2019–2022. The includes cutting vacuum-assisted (VAC) sponge into 1×1×8cm segments that partially placed through an otherwise...

The authors reviewed 817 instrumented lumbosacral fusions in adults and found an incidence of 3.2% deep wound infections. The primary focus of this study was the management of these infections, with particular attention to whether the implants needed to be removed. A consulting infectious disease specialist indicated that an acute infection of a low back fusion wound could not be healed without...

AIM To evaluate the outcome of stapled versus sutured colo-rectal anastomosis after low anterior resection of mid-rectal carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study of fifty patients who underwent colo-rectal anastomosis following low anterior resection (LAR) of T2 mid-rectal cancers at the Egyptian National Cancer Institute during the time period from June 2010 to June 2013 was condu...

BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often associated with a considerable amount of post-operative blood loss, necessitating the transfusion of allogeneic blood, which can add to the complications. Optimization of strategies to reduce the need for blood transfusion is desired. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of autologous platelet gel and fibrin sealant in unilateral TKA...

conclusions: the study findings revealed that peritoneal lavage with imipenem solution (1 mg/ml) decreases the rate of post-operative ssis in patients with perforated appendicitis in comparison to patients irrigated with normal saline alone. these patients also had shorter hospital stay, and lower hospital costs. results: imipenem solution irrigation was associated with significant clinical imp...

The routine use of surgical drains in total hip arthroplasty remains controversial. They have not been shown to decrease the rate of wound infection significantly and can provide a retrograde route for it. Their use does not reduce the size or incidence of post-operative wound haematomas. This prospective, randomised study was designed to evaluate the role of drains in routine total hip arthrop...
