WHO surgical safety checklist has three components (sign in, time out, and sign out) and has to be applied before the surgery and before the transfer of the patient to the recovery room. WHO surgical safety checklist was implemented in 25%−65% among the surgical team in different hospitals. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the compliance and completeness of the WHO surgical safety checklist at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Methods: We used a three-year retrospective survey from July 2017 to July 2020 based on a chart review of surgical patient charts. We include a total of 3460 surgical patient charts for three years period, and from this, we got a surgical safety checklist from 2842 surgical patient charts. We analyzed the data by using SPSS version 21. And finally, the descriptive statistics presented. Results: From this study, the compliance of the WHO surgical safety checklist was 82.1% (2842/3460). From the parts of the checklist, sign in, time out, and sign out were implemented in 85.1% (2420/2842), 43.9% (1248/2842), and 57.7% (1642/2842), respectively. The overall completeness of the checklist (all boxes ticked off) was 30.4% (864/2842). Conclusion: The compliance of the WHO surgical safety checklist was good but their completeness was still poor so it needs attention and follow-up for better completeness of the WHO surgical safety checklist.","PeriodicalId":56363,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44035470","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 could also happen iatrogenically after penile circumcision. In previous literature, the incidence rate of isolated penile torsion has been reported between 1.7 and 27%. The diagnosis and treatment of penile torsion have been illustrated in the previous published articles. However, there are few published studies on the familial predominance of penile torsion. Additionally, the clinical characteristics and potential hereditary components of penile torsion are not well known. Therefore, we studied a 12-year-old boy with a severe 180-degree penile torsion, which surgically corrected and his one-year-old brother, who had mild penile torsion and surgically corrected during circumcision. Additionally, the clinical characteristics and potential hereditary components are not well known. We present a severe penile torsion 180 degrees in a 12 years old boy, which surgically corrected and mild penile torsion in one-year old his brother. The surgical procedure includes degloving the penis, Bucks fascia resection, some incision in the base of the penis, plication of tunica, and dorsal dartos flap. Three months after the operation, the pateint had a successful correction of penile rotation with no residual rotation.","PeriodicalId":56363,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47474314","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}

Materials and Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 35 patients with HPS were initially evaluated. After evaluating hospital records, 31 patients with completed hospital records were included: 9 from case group and 22 from control group. Demographic information, surgery parameters and postoperative complications were extracted from the hospital records or calling parents. Results: Results showed that the surgery parameters such as surgery duration (P=0.211), postoperative fasting duration (P=0.831), and hospitalization duration (P=0.521) in both groups were similar. Moreover, surgery complications such as duodenal or gastric perforation and surgical site infection did not differ between the groups (P>0.05).

Case Presentation: A 24-year-old female patient who had anterior neck swelling of 4 years duration was taking antithyroid medication of a varying dose for the past 2 years. However, there was no improvement in the clinical feature and deranged biochemical tests. Subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. Conclusion: Even though there are challenges of performing surgery in non-euthyroid patients in a resource-limited area, poor adherence, failure of antithyroid therapy due to long duration of therapy with side effects and complications with persistent toxic state necessitate surgical intervention. The thyroidectomy procedure was performed uneventfully with the available resources after careful risk-benefit analysis. There was no apparent perioperative complication.","PeriodicalId":56363,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2147/oas.s264575","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42059672","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}

Patient understanding of the process is essential for efficient surgical care. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and perception of operated patients towards surgical informed consent. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study of all adult surgical patients who signed informed consent and underwent surgery at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHHMC) from February 1st to March 30th, 2018, was performed. Data were collected postoperatively before discharge using a pretested structured questionnaire. Results: Of 420 patients identified, 385 (91.7%, M:F=2:1) agreed and interviewed. The mean age was 40.3 years (SD± 15.1), and many of the respondents (285, 74.0%) had some level of formal education. Even if most (336, 87.3%) knew the reason why they had surgery, less knowledge and awareness was reported regarding the options of alternative treatments (153, 39.7%), identifying the operating surgeon (129, 33.5%), the type of surgery (160, 41.6%), anesthesia-related risks (96, 24.9%), complications of surgery (69, 17.9%) and postoperative care (4, 1.0%). The legal requirement of surgical informed consent was reported by 267 (69.4%) subjects; however, more than half had no information on the right to change their mind after signed surgical informed consent (223, 57.9%) and whom it protects (224, 58.2%). Only 40 (10.5%) respondents had a good level of knowledge, and it was significant in those with some level of formal education (OR=4.8; 95% CI 1.45–16.01; P=0.010) and in patients who live in an urban area (OR=4.7; 95% CI 1.81–12.35; p=0.002) than their respective groups.

Methods: Fifty adult patients with symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis attending the ENT clinic on an outpatient basis were selected and then computerized tomography scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses (CT scan PNS) was performed. Nasal endoscopy was done to all patients to determine the presence and location of AMO. Results: Of all the 50 studied patients, CT scan PNS depicted positive signs of rhinosinusitis in 35 patients (70%). Upon nasal endoscopy of the 35 patients, AMO was found in 25 patients (71.4%). Of the 15 patients with no depicted CRS upon CT scan, AMO was found in 4 (26.7%) patients. Conclusion: Nasal endoscopy provides additional evidence of obstruction of natural sinus ostia thus leading to chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis apart from CT PNS.

It plays a vital role in decreasing maternal mortality and morbidity rates. It is also an indicator of maternal health services quality of a country. CS practice has been rising regardless of the medical condition, age, race, or gestational age. However, it is associated with many complications compared with vaginal deliveries, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and determinants of primary cesarean section among women who gave birth in Suhul General Hospital, Shire town, Northern Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional cross-sectional study was conducted from September 19 to October 20, 2017, among women who gave birth between September and August 2016 in Suhul General Public Hospital. Data were entered into EPI Info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were examined to assess the association between outcome and independent variables. Finally, variables with p-value less than 0.05 on multivariate logistic regression analysis were considered as significantly associated. Results: The magnitude of primary CS was 20.2%. The main indication for CS was non-reassuring fetal heartbeat pattern (NRFHRP) (32.2%). Women who had been augmented were 3.14 times more likely to undergo primary CS than those who had not (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)= 3.14; 95% CI: 1.49, 6.57). Women who had pregnancy-induced hypertension were 3.1 times more likely to undergo primary CS than those who had not (AOR= 3.10; 95% CI: 1.23, 7.83). Additionally, women who gave birth of ≥4000 gm newborns were 11 times (AOR= 11; 95% CI: 2.30, 57.51) more likely to undergo primary CS than those who gave birth 2500–3999 gm of newborns. Moreover, women with unknown gestational age were 5.83 times (AOR= 5.83; 95% CI: 2.37, 14.31) more likely to undergo primary CS than women whose gestational age was 37–42 weeks. Conclusion: The magnitude of the primary cesarean section in this study was high. Gestational age, augmentations, PIH, and birth weight were significant determinants of primary CS. Objective decisions should be practiced to reduce the magnitude of the primary caesarean section.","PeriodicalId":56363,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2147/oas.s254758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48292100","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}
