There are two classifications for venous disorders: The classification of CEAP & the revised venous clinical severity score (r-VCSS). The duplex ultrasound is the gold standard diagnostic tool for chronic venous ulcers. There are many treatment options for chronic venous ulcer including: Compression treatment, superficial vein surgery (stripping or ligation of GSV) in case of truncal reflux, injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma and Perforator vein (PV) interruption procedures either surgically (SEPS) or with foam sclerotherapy. Foam sclerotherapy with ultrasound guidance has been used extensively to treat primary and recurrent superficial venous conditions. Ineffective perforator veins can be treated with sclerotherapy. Platelet rich plasma is widely used on the wound surface or injected in wound edges in chronic ulcers.","PeriodicalId":14421,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Science","volume":"9 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83515700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The benefits of VATS technique for diagnostic and treatment of paediatric thoracic problems","authors":"LM Lumban Gaol, I. Fadhila, M.

This study described the VATS surgical technique used in the treatment of pediatric thoracic cases and highlighted the benefit of surgical treatment for thoracic problems in pediatric, mainly in empyema thoracis, pneumothorax, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Result: We used thoracoscopic approach, which is video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) as the surgical approach for cases such as recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), recurrent empyema thoracis, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in our institution. All children received general anaesthesia. Selective ventilation of the left or right bronchus was used to allow ipsilateral lung collapse for better visualization. The patient was positioned in swimmer position or lateral decubitus position with the ipsilateral side up and in a slight reverse Trendelenburg position. A 5 mm incision was made on the ipsilateral of the apex of scapula, and a 5 mm trocar was used. For empyema thoracis we used two trocars, which were 5 mm for camera and 3 mm trocar. The fibrotic tissue was excised and the pleural space was debrided. In recurrent pneumothorax case, we used the 5mm trocar for the camera. An fibrotic tissue excision was done to facilitate better drainage for the chest tube. We used the VATS approach for the CDH case in a full-term neonates, using 5 mm and 3 mm trocars with low flow insufflation. Conclusion: The use of minimally invasive surgery such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be a valuable choice in the management of selected thoracic conditions. There is evidence that VATS provides an advantage compared to thoracotomy. It is beneficial to minimalized the surgical wound and shortened the time of operation.","PeriodicalId":14421,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Science","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91380320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a certain percentage of laparoscopic cases require conversion to open surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the conversion rate and identify the factors associated with this conversion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis at a medical college and hospital over a 12 month period. Demographic data, clinical details, laboratory investigations, surgical indications, and intraoperative findings were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 44.26 years, with the majority in the 41-50 age group. Females constituted 70% of the cases. Higher BMI, male gender, the presence of diabetes, and a thickened gallbladder wall were identified as factors associated with an increased risk of conversion to open cholecystectomy. The overall conversion rate was 10%, with adhesions and bleeding being the main reasons for conversion. Conclusion: This retrospective study provides insights into the conversion rate and associated factors in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Male gender, higher BMI, the presence of diabetes, and a thickened gallbladder wall were found to increase the likelihood of conversion to open surgery. These findings highlight the importance of careful patient selection, preoperative assessment, and informed consent discussions to optimize surgical outcomes and minimize the need for open procedures. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to validate these findings.","PeriodicalId":14421,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Science","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76074013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim is to study the value of preoperative C - reactive protein and total leucocyte count in diagnosing acute appendicitis and to correlate its value in grading of acute appendicitis as compared to Histopathological reports. Material and Methods: This is hospital based retrospective comparative study conducted in the Department of General Surgery at Yenepoya Medical College and Hospitals, Mangalore, a period of 5 years from, 2014-2019, to evaluate the accuracy of total leukocyte count and C - Reactive Protein (CRP) in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. All patients above the age of 15 years diagnosed clinically to have acute appendicitis and subjected to appendicectomy were included. Patients with history of recurrent pain in right iliac fossa, patients with appendicular mass or peritonitis and concomitant conditions where C-reactive protein or Leukocyte Count is elevated were excluded. Results: There are about 80.6% cases of acute appendicitis, 2.3% appendicular mass, 8.4% complicated acute appendicitis, 8.0% malignancy and 0.8% others. CRP level had a sensitivity of 86.27% and specificity of 66.67% in predicting acute appendicitis. Total leucocyte count had a sensitivity of 87.65% and specificity of 100% in predicting acute appendicitis. Conclusion: Inflammation is known to cause an increase in CRP, but after complications have occurred, this increase is much more pronounced. The measurement of CRP or the counting of leucocytes on their own could be sufficient to prevent negative appendectomies.","PeriodicalId":14421,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Science","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74874311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
