Results of randomized controlled trials comparing pancreaticogastric anastomosis with pancreaticojejunal anastomosis are not consistent. Furthermore, soft texture of pancreas is an established risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). There has been no meta-analysis to date to compare pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy in patients with intraoperative soft texture of pancreas. Hence, our primary objective was to determine the role of pancreaticogastrostomy compared to pancreaticojejunostomy after PD in prevention of POPF, especially in patients with soft pancreatic texture. We conducted meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that had compared pancreaticojejunal anastomosis with pancreaticogastric anastomosis after PD, and pancreatic fistula was among the outcome variables. Ten randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis which comprised of a total of 1629 patients, of which 803 underwent pancreaticojejunostomy, whereas 826 were in the pancreaticogastrostomy group. There was no difference in clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) rate in pancreaticojejunostomy versus pancreaticogastrostomy (19.8% vs. 12.8%, P = 0.09) group. POPF rate in patients with soft pancreas was significantly more in pancreaticojejunostomy group as compared to pancreaticogastrostomy group (25.4% vs. 17.3%, odds ratio = 1.71, 95% confidence interval = 1.15–2.53, P = 0.008). Although there is no difference in pancreaticogastrostomy as compared to pancreaticojejunostomy after PD to prevent CR POPF, in a subgroup of high-risk patients with soft pancreatic texture pancreaticogastrostomy has favorable results.","PeriodicalId":331041,"journal":{"name":"IJS Short Reports","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133501639","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}

Its treatment includes surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or the combination of these therapies depending on the extent of disease. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a pivotal role in minimizing the morbidity and mortality; however, they also bring about many adverse effects. Both hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity are affected by these therapies ranging from oral mucositis to osteoradionecrosis of jaw thus affecting the quality of life of patients. Prevention and timely management of these complications are essential for better treatment outcomes. The present literature review, therefore, focuses on the prevention and management of hard- and soft-tissue complications associated with patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Comprehensive oral and dental examination of the patient should be performed and all the potential sources of infection should be electively treated appropriately before initiation of the radiotherapy and chemotherapy to reduce the risk of complications associated with the cancer treatment. Management of complication that arises during radiation and chemotherapy is also essential which requires thorough knowledge and skills. Mutual participation of oncology team and dental surgeon is the key to reduce these complications.","PeriodicalId":331041,"journal":{"name":"IJS Short Reports","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133555966","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}

It has multiple advantages over craniotomy under general anesthesia, mainly including improved postoperative neurological status, lower length of hospital, and lower overall cost of hospital stay. Awake craniotomy is commonly practiced in the developed world; however, its role in developing country is limited. Considering the benefits that awake craniotomy offers, it can contribute significant socioeconomic benefits to a developing country, especially with reduce expenditure on health care as well as maintenance of functional capacity of patients to continue work. Development of awake craniotomy in a developing country is a challenge. Multiple hurdles must be overcome before considering the possibility of the procedure. One of the key hurdles is limitation of resources. Others include neuroanesthesia training, extent of disease, and patient selection. Patient's awareness or literacy rate is also a factor to be considered, especially in developing countries where it can be difficult to explain the procedure to the patient. The authors have successfully implemented awake craniotomy in Pakistan recently and have shared how they managed to overcome the hurdles in their case. The hurdles are considerable, but they can be overcome with efforts. The program will be highly beneficial to a developing country and should be attempted for betterment of health-care facilities available to the population.","PeriodicalId":331041,"journal":{"name":"IJS Short Reports","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129204950","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}

The treatment of head and neck carcinoma is very challenging and depends on the stage of the disease. Radiotherapy is largely employed as primary therapy, adjuvant to surgery, or in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of head and neck carcinomas. Patients undergoing radiotherapy are prone to a range of short- and long-term complications which adversely affects their health and quality of life. Management of these complications is complex and based on early detection, prevention, and oral care before, during, and after the treatment, to establish the best oral care pathway for these patients. Dental management of these patients is especially important to maintain oral hygiene, overall health, and nutrition status. Management involves multidisciplinary team approach which includes dental practitioners and the oncology team not only in the primary treatment but also in the long-term care and maintenance. It is, therefore, essential for clinicians involved in cancer treatment and cancer survivors to be aware of prevention and management these complications. The aim of this review is to highlight importance of postoperative complications associated with radiotherapy and to draw attention of multidisciplinary teams involved in cancer management toward dental needs of patients treated with radiation therapy, to ensure good quality care and better quality of life in irradiated head and neck cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":331041,"journal":{"name":"IJS Short Reports","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132708549","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}

To overcome this complication, prophylactic antibiotic therapy is routinely recommended for open fractures. Methods: A single center, prospective cohort study was conducted on patients at a tertiary care academic center to assess surgical site infection following fixation of upper and lower limb open fractures. In this study, we aimed to identify the utility of postdebridement cultures for predicting postoperative wound infection with the identification of association between the incidence of infection and factors such as age, gender, fracture site, cause of injury, and the time between injury and presentation at hospital. Results: Postdebridement cultures of 46 patients were collected, of which 28.3% showed microbial growth. During the hospital stay, three patients developed clinically deep wound infection. Postdebridement culture growth was not significantly associated with the development of clinical infection within the hospital stay (P = 0.188). Out of 43 remaining patients, 11 patients develop wound infection on follow up. Four out of 11 had positive growth on initial cultures. Conclusion: In this study, we evaluated that postdebridement wound cultures were not useful in predicting wound infection in the postoperative period.","PeriodicalId":331041,"journal":{"name":"IJS Short Reports","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127115618","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}
