After graduating with degrees in both science and medicine from Calcutta University, where he received his surgical training under Professor L. M. Banerjee, one of the outstanding surgeons of India in his time, he volunteered in the British Indian Army during World War 11. He saw service in Burma and in the Middle East, where he became a surgical specialist and quickly rose to the rank of Major. After demobilization, he travelled to the United Kingdom for additional training and study in surgery. He received the titles of F.R.C.S (Eng.), F.R.C.S. (Edin.), and M.Ch.Orth. (L‘Pool) in 1948. He became interested in the shoulder mechanism while assisting Professor S. K. Basu at the Indian Museum in 1940. He delivered his first dissertation to the Liverpool orthopedic group in 1948. Thereafter, the shoulder was one of his abiding interests. On his return to India, Saha was first appointed to the post of Reader in Surgery in Gwalior Medical College. Subsequently, he joined the Nilratan Sircar Medical College and the University of Calcutta as Associate Professor of Surgery, where he served from 1949 to 1955. From 1955 to 1963, he served as Professor Director in the Department of Surgery at the same institution and eventually became an Honorary Consultant orthopedic surgeon, a position he held from 1964 to 1972. In 1972 he was made Emeritus Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery. During Professor Saha’s time, orthopedic surgery was just becoming recognized as a specialty in India. Through the force of circumstances, he was appointed to a post in general surgery, although he was primarily interested in orthopedics. In fact, he was largely instrumental in popularizing orthopedics in Calcutta and training a number of younger surgeons in this field. They have maintained his high standards at Nilratan Sircar Medical College Hospital in Calcutta. Professor Saha’s major contribution to orthopedic research and clinical orthopedic practice is in relation to the shoulder joint. While at Nilratan Sircar Medical College, he conducted extensive studies on the functional anatomy of the shoulder joint from anatomic, anthropologic, morphologic, radiologic, and electromyographic, as well as mathematic, points of views. As a result of these studies, he published his work on the zero position of the glenohumeral joint in 1950. In 1957 he was invited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England to deliver a Hunterian Lecture, “Zero-position of the Glenohumeral Joint: Its Recognition and Clinical Importance.” At about this time (1954), he became interested in the study of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint and in rehabilitating patients with paralysis of the shoulder following poliomyelitis. He was convinced that dynamic stability was essential during various stages of elevation of the shoulder joi","PeriodicalId":86626,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of medicine & surgery","volume":"70 1","pages":"153-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81448998","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}

Important diagnostic features are also discussed. INTRODUCTION: Kidney involvement in echinococcosis is extremely rare, constituting only 2-3% of all cases.[1,2,3,4] Primary involvement of the kidney without the involvement of the liver and lungs is even rarer. Hydatiduria accompanies only 10-20% of all cases of renal hydatidosis and is usually microscopic.[2] We present a rare case of primary left renal hydatid with gross hydatiduria. The diagnosis of primary hydatid cyst of the kidney, in the absence of hydaturia, is usually radiological as most patients have negative immunological tests. We also present the salient radiological features of primary hydatid cyst of kidney. CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old male presented with history of intermittent passage of small, white, balloon-like, grape-sized structures in the urine for the last one month. He also had intermittent hematuria for 15 days. Abdominal examination did not reveal any palpable lump. Rest of the systemic examination was normal. His routine blood investigations were normal with no eosinophilia and normal renal function tests. X-ray chest P-A view was normal. The USG abdomen revealed multiseptate cyst in the left kidney; liver was normal. The CT scan revealed a cystic lesion in the left kidney (Figure 1). Left Kidney was not ex-creating Patient was planned for surgery by flank extraperitoneal approach. Left nephroureterectomy was done. Patient received four weeks of preoperative albendazole which was continued for four weeks postoperatively. The resected specimen showed kidney with bag of cysts with multiple daughter cysts (Figure 2). The histopathological examination was consistent with left renal hydatid disease and multiple daughter cysts. DISCUSSION: Echinococcosis is a worldwide zoonosis produced by the larval stage of the Echinococcus tapeworm. In this case, hydatid disease was caused by one of the main types, E granulosus. The adult worm lives in the proximal small bowel of the definitive host, attached by hooklets to the mucosa. Eggs are released into the host’s intestine and excreted in the feces. Humans may become intermediate hosts through contact with a definitive host (Usually a domesticated dog) or ingestion of contaminated water or vegetables. The ovum loses its protective layer as it is digested in the duodenum. Once the parasitic embryo passes through the intestinal wall to reach the portal venous system or lymphatic system, the liver acts as the first line of defense and is therefore the most frequently involved organ. In humans, hydatid disease involves the liver in approximately 75% of cases and the lung in 15%.[2,4] Secondary involvement due to hematogenous dissemination may be seen in almost any anatomic location. Kidney involvement in echinococcosis is extremely rare (2%– 3% of cases), even in areas where hydatid disease is endemic. Renal hydatid cysts usually remain asymptom","PeriodicalId":86626,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of medicine & surgery","volume":"98 1","pages":"85-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1952-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85796054","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}
