After reviewing all papers we have found that there is no transplant specific assessment tool for measuring Qol after liver transplantation. General tools are used for assessment of Qol of these patients. PretransplantationQol are severely affected when compared to normal healthy volunteers. Hepatocellular carcinoma and cholestatic etiologies have higher Qol scores than those related to alcohol or viral hepatitis. Post-transplantation Qol scores are not affected by the etiology of the original liver cirrhosis, but transplant recipient scores continue to remain significant!)'. lower than those of healthy patient controls. The Qol scores improve during initial time after liver transplantation, but decreases in the long term. It may be due to decreases in the physical function and bodily pain domains as the patient's age increases, develops osteoporosis from long-term intake of steroids, and chronic rejection process. It is also addressed that Qol is not good in patients with Hepatitis C after liver transplantation. The development of a Qol assessment tool specific to transplantation could help to more accurately assess factors that alter post-transplantation Qol. \u0000Journal of Surgical Sciences (2014) Vol. 18 (2) : 67-77","PeriodicalId":33248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Sciences","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83361995","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 aim of this study is to find out the out.come of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for distal penile hypospadias and to -~~ow that this procedure will end up in a better cosmetic appearance. \u0000Methods: This prospective study was conducted in a private medical college hospital, Comilla between July 2011 to June 2012 on 30 patients using Snodgrass technique of hypospadlas surgery. All cases were consecutively selected. Data were processed and analysed· using software SPSS (Statistical Package for social Sciences) version 11.5 and the test· statistics used to analyse the data were descriptive statistics and Z-test for proportion. The variables studied were age, socioeconomic condition, post-operative complications, such as infection rate, urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, wound dehiscence etc. &cosmatic outcome such as size of the meatus, shape of the glans studied. \u0000Results: Satisfactory results were obtained in 21 (70%) patients and only 8 (26.67%) had urethrocutaneous fistula, 1(3.33%) had retrusive meatus and 7 (23.33%) had wound infection. The final outcome was evaluated based on urethrocutaneous fistula and cosmesis. Out of 30 patients, 21(70%) did not have urtethrocutaneous fistula and were cosmetically acceptable. Binomial test based on Z-approximation reveals that observed proportion of patients with satisfactory- outcome was statistically significant (p = 0.05). \u0000Conclusion: This study concludes that Snodgrass urethroplasty has better cosmetic outcome.

At present, cutaneous lesions represent a dilemma of global proportions and instigate great clinical interest because of the high morbidity associated with changes in the normal healing process. Among the clinical aspects involving this issue, we emphasize tissue repair time in an effort to make the process quicker and more harmonious, reduce possible complications in lesion resolution, and allow an adequate choice of therapy. Laser light energy is highly absorbed by skin and subcutaneous tissue and therefore penetration is key to therapeutic results. Among the methods currently available, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stands out. Here we present a case of 78 years old lady with multiple variable non healing ulcers on back. Appropriate antibiotics and regular dressing failed to heal the lesions. So we have decided to apply low level laser therapy. At the end of 8th week the wound looked pretty healthy.

Objective: To review the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gall stone disease. \u0000Materials & Method: A prospective observational study was carried out over a period of 9 years beginning from 1st of July 2003 till 30th of June 2012 in Comilla Medical College Hospital and several private hospitals of Comilla. A total of 946 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic and asymptomatic gallstone disease as confirmed by ultrasound scan were included. Patient having cirrhosis of liver, ischaemic heart disease, suspected carcinoma of gall bladder were excluded from the study. The outcome including the complications was analyzed. \u0000Result: Out of 946 patients 632 (66.80%) were females and 314 (33.19%) were males. Most (92.3%) of them were between 21-50 years of age. The commonest immediate complication was bleeding from liver bed (9.40%), from vascular injury in Callot's triangle (5.17%) and from the trocar site (4%). There was spillage of gallstones in 104(10.99%) cases. Bowel injury was seen in only one (0.10%) case. Bile leakage was observed in 4(.42%) cases that also include CBD injury .in 3 cases. The procedure was converted to open surgery in 11(1.17%) cases. Port site infection was seen in 43 (4.54%) cases.

As histopathology provides the final diagnosis for most of the diseases, labeling errors can lead to serious consequences leading to wrong treatments. \u0000Objectives: This study was carried out to find common pre-analytical errors of histopathology laboratory in the context of our country. \u0000Methods: Data were collected on six points of container labeling and nine points of requisition papers through simple check list over a period of one week. \u0000Results: Among 142 samples, labeling was found in 82.40% container. Among these labels, patients name, age, hospital registration number of the patients were absent in 19.01%, 26.06% and 90.85% samples respectively. Site of origin of the tissue in the container was absent in 71.83% samples. About 4.93% samples came to the laboratory without fixatives. Patients name, age, sex, site of origin of tissue, name of the referring physician and their contact numbers were found absent in 0.70%, 3.52%, 33.10%, 7.75%, 50% and 95.77% of requisition papers respectively.
