It is one of the congenital abnormalities of the genitourinary tract. There are about 400 different procedures described for correction of this type of anomaly, but Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) Urethroplasty is considered the most popular one, and there are multiple variations in this procedure to get high success rate and decrease the complications. In this study, we compare between single layer dartos flap versus double layer dorsal flaps in TIP urethroplasty. This is to assess the outcomes of double dartos flaps versus single layer flap in TIP urethroplasty for primary distal hypospadias repair in Basrah Teaching Center regarding the success rate, and to investigate the importance of double flaps in preventing possible complications in particular, urethral fistula. A cross sectional prospective study was done in Basra Teaching Hospital, between January 2018 to March 2020. A total of 50 boys, 2 to 10 yearold with coronal and sub coronal primary Hypospadias were treated with TIP urethroplasty (Snodgrass procedure) by one surgical team, who were referred to Basrah Teaching Hospital from private and outpatient clinics. Patients were divided into 2 groups: (group I: 25 patients) single layer Dartos flap & (group II: 25 patients) double layers of Dartos flaps. Six patients were missing during follow up, coincidentally 3 patients in each group. The mean age was 4.55 and 4.86 year for groups I, II respectively, the mean operative time was 88.81 and 91.86 minutes for group I & group II respectively. The success rate was (81%) and (86%) for group I, II respectively, with exception of complications which need re-do surgery. Urethrocutaneous fistula (UF) was developed in (22.7%) in group I, and in (4.5%) in group II. Bleeding was happened in 2 cases (9.1%) in group I and 3 cases (13.6%) in group II. Meatal stenosis was diagnosed in (9.1%) in group I and (13.6%) in group II. Glans dehiscence was seen in 1 case (4.5%) for each group. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the occurrence of UF (P = 0.001). According to our evidence in this study, double dartos flaps is easy to be harvested, safe procedure, and represents very good choice for UF prevention. Although the number of complicated patients regarding bleeding and meatal stenosis are higher in group II than group I but they were statistically insignificant.","PeriodicalId":52765,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48046123","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}

Patients were evaluated both pre and post operatively for flow rate and for symptoms and complications. The number of patients studied was 30, divided in to 15 in each group (cold knife and laser). The mean peak flow rate in laser group was (12.9 ml/min), and the cold knife group was (15.4 ml/min) after 14 days post operatively. Both cold knife and laser urethrotomy improves the peak flow rate significantly two weeks after surgery but the improvement was more noticed in the cold knife group. Bleeding was more (against our expectations), while infection was less, and the operative time was more in the laser group.

Femoral shaft fractures (FSF) generally are due to high energy trauma in working age group patients. Variety of fracture patterns are encountered with different treatment choices are available, however, non-union of FSF is not infrequently encountered challenge. This study reviews cases of FSF that ends up with non-union in Basrah Teaching Hospital in an attempt to explore some factors associated or probably led to non-union. This is a retrospective case series study were conducted in Basrah Teaching Hospital from January 2012 to June 2014 including 124 patient with FSF. Thirty three patients were identified during the study period (18 months), demographic criteria and injury patterns, initial treatment, early complications, subsequent interventions and fate of the patients are described. Among 33 patients with nonunion FSF, 23 were males and 10 females, aged from 15 to 60 years (mean = 35), 10 (31%) were active smokers during the period of treatment. High energy trauma is the chief source of FSF in this analysis ,27(82%), middle third fracture is the commonest site 20(60%), although 17(52%) was initially closed fracture , 16(48%) open fracture and 14/33 (42%) comminuted fracture. All patients with closed fractures as well as 4 patients with compound fractures had been treated by open reduction with internal fixation, and other patients treated by external fixation. The most commonly documented complication was the development of surgical site infection in 13 (39%) patients. After the elapse of 9 12 months from the time of initial trauma, the patients ends up with a diagnosis of non-union, 9(27%) patients developed atrophic nonunion, 13(39%) patients developed hypertrophic non-union and 11 (33%) patient developed infected non-union. Thirty patients underwent revision surgery, with addition of bone graft in most of the instances, and three patients no revision surgery, several types of bone grafts had been utilized during the revision surgery in 28 patients (out of 30) , within the study period ( 18 months ), 25(75%) patients achieved successful union or showing signs of progressive union , 3 (10%) patients had united fractures with chronic osteomyelitis , while 5(15%) patients still with non-united fractures . In conclusion; the nonunion of FSF is still a great challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon and unlimited obstacle to the patient life and development, therefore from 124 who sustained fracture femur thirty three developed nonunion and after numerous sessions of medical and surgical interventions only five patients still non united fracture, thus to overcome this problem both the surgeon and the patient should cooperate to avoid this tragedy story.","PeriodicalId":52765,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42157782","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 benefits of a nephrostomy tube placement are numerous as it provides adequate renal drainage. It may also tamponade bleeding and allow for an easier second-look nephroscopy. However, majority of authors consider the nephrostomy tube as a source of morbidity. Tubeless PCNL is an effective and safe procedure for treatment of renal stones in selected cases. This procedure can even be chosen for patients with previous renal surgery, and hemorrhagic tendency. By using this method, less postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay can be achieved, when compared with conventional PCNL. This study is to prospectively compare the feasibility and safety of tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Vs standard PCNL. A 220 patients undergoing PCNL were randomized into two groups: Group A (tubeless PCNL) with antegrade placement of a Double-J stent without nephrostomy and group B (standard PCNL) with nephrostomy tube placement postoperatively with 110 patients in each group. Inclusion criteria were a stone size more than 2 cm, single tract puncture with complete clearance, less than three stones with a diameter <25mm and minimal bleeding at completion. The two groups were comparable in age and sex, operative time, access tract, stone size, stone disease in the opposite kidney and ureter, preoperative creatinine and associated comorbidities were recorded. Patients were followed up in the post-op period with a drop in Hb, need for blood transfusion, need for analgesia, hospital stay, complications and need for the ancillary procedure. There was no significant difference between the two groups for patient demographics and stone characteristics. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for the complications, stone clearance, need for ancillary procedure, mean postoperative drop in haemoglobin, need for blood transfusion. The mean postoperative ana;gesic requirement, operative time and hospital stay was statistically significantly higher in the tubeless PCNL group compared with the standard PCNL group with p values of 0.000, 0.040, 0.001 respectively.

Currently the arthroscopic reconstruction is the gold standard treatment in majority of cases. There are different ways to do the surgery, different approaches and different grafts. Each has its advantages and draw backs. The autologous four strands hamstring graft is a widely used graft. A new method of using six strands graft is now used to strengthen the graft. This study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the patients underwent a six strand autologous hamstring graft ACL reconstruction and those done with four strands graft. It`s retrospective and prospective comparative study carried out in Basrah Teaching Hospital. Started at January 2015. Twenty one patients with six strands graft included prospectively and 35 patients with four strands included retrospectively from previous study. All patients were subjected to the same procedure by the same surgeon. The patients are assessed preoperatively by stability tests and Tegner Lysholm score,then followed up after 6 months and after one year by the same tests and Tegner Lysholm score. Twenty one male patients with six strands graft have age ranging from 20 to 35 years (mean 26.1±3.9). A thirty five patients with four strands were included, their age were (24.6±2) years. In the six strands group (71.6%) were sport men versus (82.8%) in the four strands group. The six strands graft size ranged 8-11 mm with mean (9.9±0.8)mm, while the four strands graft size ranged 7-9.5 mm with mean (8.5mm). After one year the results was instability (9.5%) of the six strands group versus (25.8%) in the four strands group. The mean postoperative Tegner Lysholm score in six strands group was (92.9±6) with excellent in (85%) while it was excellent in (22.8%) of the four strands group, although the mean Lysholm score not mentioned in the previous study. In conclusions, the six strands autologous hamstring graft is an alternative method for ACL reconstruction particularly when the four strands graft cannot provide sufficient size.","PeriodicalId":52765,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41640958","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}
