EXPLORATORY LAPROTOMY indications and procedure.pptx9459654457
An exploratory laparotomy is a surgical procedure where an incision is made through the abdominal wall to access the abdominal cavity. It is used to investigate the causes of conditions like acute abdomen from trauma or infection, to remove foreign bodies, for cancer staging, or as part of other procedures. The abdomen is thoroughly examined and any necessary treatments are performed before closing the incision. Potential complications include infection, hernia, and adhesive bowel obstruction.
This document discusses the classification and management of genitourinary fistulas. It begins with an introduction defining a fistula and classifying them based on organ of origin and termination point in the urinary tract. It then describes various types of genitourinary fistulas involving the bladder, ureter, and urethra. The remainder of the document covers etiology, clinical features, investigations, prevention, and surgical and non-surgical management of genitourinary fistulas.
This document discusses the management of vulvar cancer and summarizes key changes over time. It notes that vulvar cancer is predominantly a disease of postmenopausal women and can be preceded by vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. For early stage disease, radical local excision is usually sufficient. For advanced disease, radical vulvectomy or pelvic exenteration may be needed. Lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor, and inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy or sentinel lymph node biopsy is recommended. The role of preoperative chemoradiation to downstage tumors and allow less radical surgery is also discussed.
Sim's speculum is used to retract the vaginal walls during examination. It has double ended blades in different sizes and rounded edges to minimize trauma. The technique involves lubricating the blades and rotating them after insertion to retract the posterior vaginal wall. Some disadvantages are that it is not self-retaining and can move with the examiner's hand. It is indicated for examinations, procedures, and assessing tears.
Cusco's self-retaining speculum has bi-valved blades that cover more area but provide less maneuverability than Sim's speculum. It is indicated for procedures requiring better visualization like colposcopy.
Blake's uterine curette has a central shaft with one sharp and one
Sim's speculum is a duck-bill shaped speculum used to retract the vaginal walls for examination of the cervix and vagina, and has single or double ended blades of varying sizes. It is inserted with its transverse axis along the long axis of the labia and rotated 90 degrees to retract the posterior vaginal wall. Some disadvantages are that it is not self-retaining and can move with the hand, making it unsuitable for procedures like colposcopy.
This document discusses hydrosalpinx, which is a distended fallopian tube filled with fluid caused by distal blockage. The main causes are pelvic inflammatory disease from infections like chlamydia. Symptoms can include pelvic pain and infertility. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, HSG, CT or MRI. Treatment depends on whether fertility is desired. For fertility, salpingectomy before IVF improves live birth rates by removing toxic fluid. Tubal surgery may help mild cases. IVF is main treatment if fertility desired. Leaving a non-painful hydrosalpinx in situ is also an option if not trying to conceive.
The document discusses new surgical modalities for treating colon and rectal cancers, including laparoscopic, robotic, and single incision approaches. It describes various procedures like colectomies and anastomoses and how minimally invasive techniques can provide benefits like shorter recovery time compared to open surgery. The document also outlines innovations in instruments and techniques that are expanding the types of surgeries that can be performed laparoscopically.

This the second lecture of a series of 3 lectures and deals with the endometrium as it appears during various phases of the menstural cycle, polyps, menopausal bleeding, tamoxifen endometrium, saline sonohysterography etc
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding refers to bleeding from the small and large intestines. Common causes include hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, angiodysplasia, inflammatory bowel disease, colon polyps and cancer. Diagnostic evaluation involves colonoscopy, CT/CT angiography, capsule endoscopy, nuclear scintigraphy and angiography. Colonoscopy allows for both diagnosis and treatment but other imaging modalities are useful when colonoscopy is non-diagnostic or not possible. Angiography can localize the bleeding site and provide therapeutic embolization in unstable patients. Surgical or endoscopic intervention may be needed depending on the cause of bleeding.
The urinary bladder develops from the urogenital sinus in weeks 4-7 of development. The bladder absorbs parts of the mesonephric ducts, forming the trigone. The ureters enter the bladder at the base of the trigone. Prenatally, the bladder appears elliptical and anechoic on ultrasound by 13 weeks. Postnatally, urachal anomalies including patent urachus, umbilical-urachus sinus, urachal cyst, and vesicourachal diverticulum can occur and may require surgical excision.

Evaluation of urogenital sinus and cloacal anomaliesDr. Manoj Deepak
This document discusses the formation of the urogenital sinus and cloaca during embryonic development and the abnormalities that can occur. It describes urogenital sinus abnormalities and persistent cloaca, which result when the urogenital sinus and cloacal membrane fail to properly separate the urinary, genital, and intestinal tracts. The evaluation of children with these conditions is outlined, including prenatal diagnosis, physical exam, imaging, and endoscopic assessment to define the anatomy prior to surgical management.
Cesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver babies through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. It was historically performed when the mother had died during late pregnancy to save the baby, and the first one on a living woman was in the 1500s. The incidence of C-sections has increased significantly since the 1970s due to abandoning difficult vaginal deliveries in favor of C-sections. There are various types of C-sections classified by timing, incision site, and number of operations. While generally safe, C-sections do carry higher risks than vaginal births, including infection, bleeding, injury to nearby organs, and complications in future pregnancies.
MANAGEMENT OF VAULT PROLAPSE BY DR SHASHWAT JANIDR SHASHWAT JANI
This document discusses the management of vault prolapse, which is the descent of the vaginal cuff after a hysterectomy. It defines vault prolapse and lists risk factors. Conservative management includes pessaries but surgery is often needed. Surgical options include vaginal approaches like sacrospinous ligament fixation or abdominal approaches like sacral colpopexy. The document compares techniques and factors to consider in surgical planning like prolapse severity and patient factors. Prevention techniques like culdoplasty at time of hysterectomy are also discussed.
Colposcopy involves examining the cervix, vagina, and vulva with a binocular microscope. It allows detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous epithelial changes through identification of vascular patterns and epithelial abnormalities that appear after applying acetic acid or Lugol's iodine. The transformation zone, where squamous and columnar epithelia meet, is the main area of interest as most cervical cancers originate there. A colposcopy examination is considered satisfactory only if the entire transformation zone is visualized.
This document discusses ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. It defines ectopic pregnancy and lists risk factors and causes. Symptoms can include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis involves beta-hCG levels, ultrasound, and laparoscopy. Management options for unruptured ectopic pregnancies include expectant monitoring, medical treatment with methotrexate, and surgical treatment such as salpingostomy or salpingotomy.
Radiological procedure of retrograde urethrography(rgu) and micturatingSanzzuTimilsina
MCU stands for Micturating Cystourethrography. It is a radiological examination of the urethra and bladder by injecting contrast medium through a catheter and imaging the urinary system during voiding.
The contrast medium is diluted in MCU to reduce the risk of adverse reactions from a highly concentrated agent being injected into the bladder.
Pre-warming the contrast medium to body temperature helps reduce spasms of the external urethral sphincter during the procedure.
Stress incontinence refers to involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure like coughing, sneezing, lifting etc.
RGU stands for Retrograde Urethrograph
The document describes a case presentation of a 10-year-old male child who presented with abdominal pain. An ultrasound and intravenous pyelogram (IVP) were performed. The ultrasound found right pyonephrosis, right and left renal calculi, and left hydroureteronephrosis. The IVP confirmed these findings and also found a right ureteric calculus and question of a left ureteric stricture. The document then provides details on IVP, including how it is performed, indications, advantages, limitations, normal findings, and examples of various abnormalities that can be seen on an IVP.
Clinical pelvimetry and Forceps Assisted Vaginal DeliveryArthur Greenwood
This document discusses clinical pelvimetry and forceps-assisted vaginal delivery. It begins by outlining the objectives and key anatomical features assessed in a clinical pelvimetry exam. It then discusses the different types of forceps, indications for their use, application techniques, and complications. It emphasizes the importance of training residents on forceps use through lectures, workshops and opportunities to apply different forceps during cesarean deliveries in order to graduate with skills for operative vaginal delivery.
This document provides information on the approach to colorectal cancer, including clinical presentation, risk factors, investigations, staging, screening, surgery, and complications. Key points include that changes in bowel habits and rectal bleeding are common symptoms. Risk factors include age, family history, and inflammatory bowel disease. Investigations include colonoscopy, CT scans, and serum CEA levels. Surgery involves removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes, and may require temporary or permanent stomas. Complications can include anastomotic leaks, bleeding, and hernias.
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the male urethra and procedures involving the urethra including retrograde urethrography (RGU). It describes the different regions of the male urethra, internal and external sphincters, and appearance on RGU. Complications of RGU include contrast reaction, UTI, and trauma. Findings on RGU include strictures, calculi, fistulas, and extravasation. Micturating cystourethrogram (MCU) evaluates the lower urinary tract during voiding and is used to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and other anomalies.
The document discusses colostomies, including their anatomy, indications for use, preoperative preparations, operative techniques, postoperative care, complications, and closure. A colostomy is a surgically created opening of the colon through the abdominal wall to divert fecal matter. It may be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying condition. Proper education and care are important for managing colostomies and improving patients' quality of life. Complications can include bleeding, prolapse, hernias, and skin irritation.
1) NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) is a developing minimally invasive surgical technique that performs procedures through natural orifices like the mouth, anus, urethra, or vagina without external incisions.
2) Several NOTES procedures have been performed successfully in animal models and humans including transgastric, transvaginal, and transcolonic approaches.
3) However, concerns remain regarding infection risk, closure techniques for internal incisions, and lack of triangulation and retraction compared to laparoscopy. Further research is still needed before NOTES can be widely adopted.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
