The Appendectomy procedure was attended by the investigator and all relevant perioperative data were recorded. \u0000Results: Post-operative pain was mostly mild in LA group (40%), while in OA, it was mostly severe (38%) and moderate (34%). Postoperative complications were significantly higher in OA than in LA. Hospital stay was longer in OA (7.03 days) than LA (3.49 days). Early recovery and return to full normal activity was noted in LA (5.56 days) than in OA (11.26 days).

The study is retrospective, we identified a number of 150 cases of sleeve gastrectomy, of which 18 has postoperative bleeding. A conservative approach with close observation (ultrasound, CT, Hb levels) was practiced in 10 cases and no surgical intervention was required. The recommendations are as follows: The first and obvious recommendation is to stop anticoagulants. The perigastric drainage should drain, if Hb levels go down an nothing is coming through the drain consider other sources of bleed or try to reopen the blocked drain. A blood cloth developed around the bleeder may maintain the active bleed due to local fibrinolysis, in these cases, one should take into consideration guided drainage (ultrasound/CT) and monitor Hb levels afterward. The presence of a small perigastric collection without clinical manifestation should be left as such. Take into consideration reintervention if: signs of hypovolemia are present (tachycardia, hypotension, profuse sweating), Hb below 7g/dL.

CME follows the sameprinciple as Total MesorectalExcision(TME) in rectal carcinoma. We have adopted this newtechnique since 2014. \u0000Objective: Here we describe the CME technique in open and laparoscopic right hemicolectomy,and our initial experience of the surgery. \u0000Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Data collected from 24 patientsadmitted under our care in BIR DEM General Hospital from January 2015 to January 2017with carcinoma caecum or ascending colon. \u0000Results: Out of 24 patients 14 patients opted for laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and 10patients choose open right hemicolectomy. In laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with CMEthe mean operating time was 152 minutes, amount of blood loss ranges 70-100ml.Number of lymphnodes removed enbloc with specimen 25-30(mean27). Distance oftumor from mesenteric margins at the point of vascular tie 11-15 cm.

Breast sacrificing treatment is still now the common practice in our country. Now a day’s breast conservative treatment is the standard treatment of breast cancer without compromising the survival. \u0000Objective: To observe local recurrence and distant metastasis free survival and overall survival of patients with breast cancer. \u0000Methods: Between January 1996 and December 2010, breast conserving treatment was carried out in 237 female patients with breast cancer in different Institutions of Bangladesh. Clinical staging was recorded by physical examination, relevant investigations as well as surgical records. Revised breast conserving surgery was carried out in those who had positive surgical margins or palpable disease. The patients with large but operable cancer or locally advanced cancer were treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by breast conserving surgery. Systemic adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and or hormone therapy) and adjuvant radiotherapy were given in all patients. After completion of treatment, the patients were followed up with a standard protocol and data were compiled and analysed. \u0000Results: Among 237 patients who underwent breast conserving therapy 13 patients were excluded from the study for various reasons. Total 224 female patients with breast cancer who followed all the treatment schedules and attended for regular follow up were included in the study. They were between 22- 74 years of age, mean age 42.35 years; premenopausal 152 (68%). Sixty five percent (146 patients) was localized cancer (T1-2N0M0), 31.6% was regional cancer (T1-3N1M0), five cases were locally advanced stage (T4bN12M0) and two metastastatic cancer (T2-3N1M1). All most all (98%) were Infiltrating duct cell carcinoma except four which were Intraductal carcinoma in situ (IDIS). Estrogen and progesterone receptors were positive in 57% , HER2 positive (+++) in 24% of Patients. Lumpectomy/quandrentectomy with/without axillary clearance was done in 158 patients, revised breast conserving surgery in 53 cases, mastectomy in 8 cases and only biopsy done but no surgical treatment in five cases.Chemotherapy was given in 192 patients (86%); adjuvant 122 cases and neoadjuvant 70 cases. Hormone therapy in 182 patients. Radiotherapy: in 222 cases. Follow up period was 4 years to 19 years, median 10 years. Overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) was 84% and 70% respectively. Local recurrence occurred in 14(6%) cases and distant metastasis in 54 cases (24%). Conclusion: Breast conserving treatment was satisfactory for appropriate case selection and optimized therapy. Survival was no way worse than breast sacrificing treatment. \u0000Journal of Surgical Sciences (2015) Vol. 19 (2) : 55-60","PeriodicalId":33248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Sciences","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85502841","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}
