This study compared outcomes of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy in 68 patients with acute appendicitis. Patients were divided into two groups - Group I underwent laparoscopic appendectomy while Group II underwent open appendectomy. The time to start oral feeding and average hospital stay were shorter in the laparoscopic group compared to the open group. Post-operative wound infections and abscesses were also less common in the laparoscopic group. The study concluded that laparoscopic appendectomy is an effective treatment for acute appendicitis compared to open appendectomy.
Lipoma is one of the most common soft tissue tumor arising from the mesenchyme. It is slow growing, encapsulated, and usually benign in nature. Tumors over the back, shoulder, and neck region have a high propensity to assume large size thereby getting redefined as a giant lipoma when they exceed 10 cm in width or weigh more than 1000 grams. MRI is the investigation of choice for evaluating giant lipomas. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or frozen section may be pertinent in suspected cases of liposarcoma. Complete surgical incision is the treatment of choice. A case of a giant lipoma on the back of a 64-year-old lady is presented with a view to revisit conceptual understanding of the clinical evaluation, investigation, and management of giant lipomas.
Background: The transanal one-stage endorectal pull-through (TOSEPT) procedure sometimes requires assistance by an abdominal approach to complete the operation. This study aims to rectify this by evaluating the impact of an assisted abdominal approach in the outcomes of the TOSEPT in children with HD.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at surgical pediatric department of Hue central hospital. All consecutive medical records of patients operated on for HD in our department between June 2010 and June 2018 were retrieved and analysed.

LAPAROSCOPIC VERSUS OPEN APPENDICECTOMY IN ADULTS. (STUDY OF 50 CASES)KETAN VAGHOLKAR
Background: Appendicectomy is one of the common procedures performed by a general surgeon. However,
the advent of laparoscopic appendicectomy has reduced the number of open appendicectomies performed. Therefore
there is a need to study the advantages of the laparoscopic approach over the traditional open approach. Aims: The
study aimed to compare laparoscopic appendicectomy with open appendicectomy based on various intraoperative and
postoperative parameters Materials and methods: 50 patients undergoing interval appendicectomy were randomised
into two groups. Group A comprised 25 patients who underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy and group B comprised
25 patients who underwent open appendicectomy. Results: Confirmation of diagnosis and evaluation of intraoperative
findings was easier in group A patients. In addition, early commencement of feeds with early bowel movements, reduced
need for postoperative analgesia due to less pain, lesser complications and shorter duration of hospital stay was observed
in group A patients. Conclusion: Laparoscopic appendicectomy has better outcomes rendering it a preferable procedure
for appendicectomy.

Herring Bone Stitch: Knitting to Secure Abdominal Wall Closure for Emergency Midline Laparotomy by Dhananjaya Sharma in Gastroenterology Medicine & Research: Laparotomy
Introduction: 5-26% of patients develop incisional hernia (IH) after midline laparotomy. We hypothesized that a simple ‘herring bone’ stitch repair can provide secure abdominal wall closure and minimize the incidence of IH in patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy.
Methods: This prospective observational study was done from March 2015 to December 2017 in a teaching hospital in Central India. Consecutive patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy were included. Study group (patients undergoing single layer continuous herring bone closure of rectus sheath with Polypropylene no. 1 suture) was compared with control group (patients undergoing standard single layer continuous closure of rectus sheath with Polypropylene no. 1 suture). Patients were followed up till 1 year. Outcomes noted were surgical site infection (SSI), proline knot granuloma or sinus formation, superficial wound dehiscence, fascial dehiscence and IH.
Results: There were 112 patients in study group and 108 in control group with comparable demographics.Vector physics of Herring bone stitch showed that any tension on the suture line is preferentially distributed parallel to the wound. Incidence of SSI, proline knot granuloma and superficial wound dehiscence was comparable among the two groups. The incidence of fascial dehiscence (0.045) and IH was less (p = 0.009) in study group.
Discussion: The Herring bone stitch is technically easy, reproducible, safe and can be performed quickly. The present study shows superiority of ‘herring bone suture’ over conventional closure of rectus sheath in emergency midline laparotomy.
COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN LAPAROSCOPIC AND OPEN CHOLECYSTECTOMY (STUDY OF 50 ...KETAN VAGHOLKAR
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a new alternative to the traditional open approach for
treating calculous cholecystitis. It is, therefore, necessary to assess the efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the
open cholecystectomy. Objectives: To compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with those of open
cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: 50 patients diagnosed as symptomatic cholelithiasis proven by radiological
investigations were distributed into two groups of 25 each. Group A patients were subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and group B patients underwent open cholecystectomy. The surgical outcomes were studied prospectively.
Intraoperative complications and postoperative care parameters were evaluated. Results: Mean age of patients in group
A was 46.68±13.6 years, and in the group, B was 42.64±14.1 years. Majority of patients were in the age group of 41 to 60
years. Patients who had diabetes in group B developed wound infections, whereas diabetic patients in group A did not
develop any infection. Significant bleeding necessitating blood transfusion occurred in one patient belonging to group B.
The duration of postoperative analgesia required was 3.16 days in group A and 5.16 days in group B. The duration of
postoperative antibiotics administered in laparoscopic and open cases was 1.48 and 4.8 days, respectively. One of the
patients in group A developed a postoperative biliary leak, whereas none in group B had any such complication. The
commencement of oral feeds and after that return of bowel movements was earlier in group A than group B. The mean
hospital stay was 4.5 days in group A as compared to 6.3 days in group B. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
is superior to open cholecystectomy regarding reduced postoperative discomfort and pain, antibiotic and analgesic
requirement, early commencement of oral feeds, and shorter duration of hospitalization

There is no definite protocol in management of small bowel obstruction in relation to duration and need of surgery. The aim is to study the role of gastrografin in management of small bowel obstruction.In this study patients who were diagnosed with intestinal obstruction were administered gastrografin. The patients were followed serially using x-ray at 4hrs interval for 24hrs; decision to operate was taken on non-progression of dye in two consecutive x-ray. Among 20 patients of this study 9 patients were operated on basis of gastrografin study. 11 were treated conservatively. 8 patients were of adhesive bowel obstruction. Out of which 1 was operated, 7 were treated conservatively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of gastrografin administration in this study was 100%, 89%, 92%, 100% respectively.Gas¬trografin helps in strengthening the clinical decision about the management of intestinal obstruction; it helps in early decision making regarding continuing the conservative or operative management and allows the introduction of oral intake earlier and earlier discharge from the hospital as well as reduction in operative rate.

EARLY ENTERAL FEEDING IN CASES OF GASTROINTESTINAL ANASTOMOSISAishwaryaMohanraj1
Bowel anastomosis and perforation suturing are commonly performed procedures by general surgeons worldwide both as emergency and elective procedures(1).
The traditional practice after major gastrointestinal surgeries is to keep the patient nil by mouth to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting and protect the anastomotic site till return of bowel function.
Recently emphasis has been given to initiating early enteral feeding within 6 to 24 hours in the postoperative period.
Early enteral feeding is believed to reduce stress response, improve immunological response and promotes wound healing while significantly reducing septic complications after major abdominal procedures(2) chiefly due to enterocyte growth stimulation which results in an improved mucosal barrier function and decreased bacterial translocation 3.

Hirschsprung’s disease in adults: Clinical and therapeutic featuresPremier Publishers
Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is rare in adults and it is thus often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Through this series of 12 patients we try to study the clinical characteristics of this pathology, to define its diagnostic clues and to assess the different therapeutic approaches.
Definitive diagnosis is established on histology of specimens from the rectum and colon. The disease involved the rectum and the sigmoid colon in 2 patients and was confined to the rectum, in the 10 others.
Treatment was in all cases surgical consisting of recto-colic resection associated with coloanal anastomosis and a protective right lateral ileostomy.
We conclude that Hirschsprung’s disease is rare in adults but by no means exceptional. It should be considered in young adults with a history of chronic constipation. Diagnosis is first of all clinical. When barium enema appearances are pathognomonic we needn’t resort to histology to confirm the diagnosis. Anorectal manometry does not usually show RAIR. Current primary treatment of HD diagnosed in adults consists mainly of surgical resection.

FOURNIER’S GANGRENE: REVIEW OF 57 CASES IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONAnil Haripriya
Fournier’s gangrene which is a rapidly progressive, fulminant polymicrobial synergistic infection of the perineum and genitals is now changing its pattern. Both genders can be affected and the mortality is still high (around10%). The clinical presentation in many patients in early stage may not be prominent. Thus rapid and accurate diagnosis is must for prompt treatment. Extensive surgical debridement and broad spectrum intravenous antibiotic remains the mainstay of treatment in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality.
EVALUATION OF ABSORBABLE AND NON-ABSORBABLE SUTURES IN A COHORT STUDYAnil Haripriya
Suturing has been used all the way through the ages to assist healing of human tissues by wound closure. Earlier, animal fibers were used as thread and the needles were fashioned from animal bone or bits of metal. Nowadays, sterilized sutures have mostly replaced these materials but the essential principles remain the same.[13]
our study and experiences we thus conclude that the stapler haemorrhoidopexy is simple and safe procedure. It is a minimally invasive procedure and it is less associated with post-operative pain bleeding and prolapse. It can be done as the day care surgery.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

INTRODUCTION
Acute appendicitis is the most common emergent
abdominal condition requiring surgical intervention.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix.1
Symptoms commonly include right lower abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite.
However, approximately 40% of people do not have
these typical symptoms. Severe complications of a
ruptured appendix include widespread, painful
inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall
and sepsis.2
Appendicitis is the most common cause of the acute
abdomen in the United States, with an estimated
lifetime risk between 5 and 20%. In fact, appendectomy
is the most common non-elective operation performed
by general surgeons. Although it has been over 115
years since Reginald Heber Fitz first demonstrated the
natural history and pathophysiology of appendicitis and
advocated early appendectomy in his landmark article,
appendicitis continues to present challenges for the
surgeon today.3
Appendectomy is the most commonly performed
operation in the world, 6% of all the surgical procedures
and is done as emergency procedure wherever possible,
the only exception is formation of appendicular mass or
abscess. In these cases, interval appendectomy is
performed as elective procedure.4
Laparoscopic appendectomy gives a better evaluation of
the peritoneal cavity than that obtained by open
approach and also facilitates other differential
diagnosis. Advantages of laparoscopic approach include
less operative time, less postoperative pain, reduced
analgesia, less surgery associated complications, shorter
hospital stay, faster recovery, reduced wound infection

and minimal scarring.5
The present study was
conducted to compare open versus laparoscopic
appendectomy in acute appendicitis.
MATERIALS & METHODS
The present study was conducted in the department of
general surgery in a medical college hospital. It
comprised of 68 cases of acute appendicitis. Patients
were informed regarding the study and written consent
was taken.
Patient information such as name, age, gender etc. was
recorded. Patients were diagnosed on the basis of
physical examination, laboratory tests and ultrasound
examination (USG). Patients were divided into 2
groups. Group I patients were subjected to laparoscopy
appendectomy and Group II patients subjected to open
appendectomy. Patients were monitored for pulse rate,
blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, bowel
sounds and urinary output. Patients were put on follow
up at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery. P
value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

DISCUSSION
The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is often difficult,
and challenging. The most common cause of surgical
abdomen is appendicitis affecting all the age groups.6
The maximum incidence is documented to be about 7-
10 % of the general population in the second and third
decades of life.7
Appendectomy is the operation which
is most commonly performed by the general surgeons.
The Laparoscopic appendectomy was first performed
by Semm K, German Gynaecologist.8
It has gained
acceptance with the technological advances of the past
two to three decades as a diagnostic and treatment
method for acute appendicitis. From that time, this
procedure has been used widely. In spite of its wide
acceptance, there remains a continuing debate in the
literature related to the most appropriate way of
removing the inflamed appendix.9
The present study
was conducted to compare open versus laparoscopic
appendectomy in acute appendicitis.
In present study, group I patients were subjected to
laparoscopy appendectomy and group II patients
subjected to open appendectomy. Burra et al10
in their
study a total 140 patients admitted with clinical
diagnosis of acute or recurrent appendicitis. They were
divided into two groups: open appendectomy (OA)
group with 70 patients in each) and laparoscopic
appendectomy (LA) group (70 patients in each). OA
was performed through standard Mc Burney incision. A
standard 3-port technique was used in this study for the
laparoscopic procedure. It is found that laparoscopic
appendectomy is as safe and effective as the open
procedure. The pain score was reduced in laparoscopic
which is 3.4±1.8 and in open 4.2±1.4. This difference
was found to be statistically significant at p value of
0.05. The duration of analgesics was also reduced in
laparoscopic with mean value of 4.81±3.6 and
10.32±4.2 and this difference was found to be
statistically significant at p value of 0.05.
We found that symptoms were nausea/vomiting seen 28
in group I and 26 in group II, abdominal pain 32 in
group I and 33 in group II and fever in 25 in group I and
21 in group II. Gupta et al11
compared and evaluated the
open and laparoscopic method of appendectomy in
acute appendicitis. The subjects undergoing
appendectomy were evaluated for age, sex, episode
number, duration of pain before presentation in
hospital, operative time, conversion rate, wound
infection, post-operative intra-abdominal abscess
formation, and stay in hospital. It was found that
average operative time in open surgery was 67.5
minutes and 104 minutes in laparoscopic surgery, with
a conversion to open in about 20% of the cases. Oral
feeding in the open group was around the 5th day while
it was around 2nd day in the laparoscopic group.
Average hospital stay was also low in the laparoscopic
group, being only around 5 days in laparoscopic group
and around 8 days in the open group. Overall
complications were also low in the laparoscopic surgery
group.
We observed that oral feed started postoperatively at
mean of 5.9 days in group I and 2.6 days in group II,
average hospital stay was 5.6 days in group I and 4.2
days in group II. Wound abscess was seen in 3 days in
group I and 4 days in group II and wound infection 2
days in group I and 8 days in group II.
Another study by Garg CP12
which studied a total of
110 patients, 61 of whom underwent open
appendectomy and the rest 49 underwent laparoscopic
appendectomy. Operative time was noted to be higher
in laparoscopic surgery, also it was noted that
laparoscopic surgery was associated with less analgesic
use, shorter hospital stay.
The shortcoming of the study is small sample size.
CONCLUSION
Authors found that laparoscopic appendectomy is safer
and effective method for patients of acute appendicitis
as compared to open appendectomy.
