Hernia of Umbilical Cord: An Enigma.

Introduction: Hernia of the umbilical cord (HUC) is an uncommon problem which is often misdiagnosed, leading to inadequate treatment and various complications which cause increased morbidity and mortality in neonates. To address this issue, we took up this study.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with HUC from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021, were retrospectively analyzed.

A prospective comparison of topical feracrylum citrate versus adrenaline as haemostatic agent in hypospadias surgery in children.

Background: A comparative study of topical feracrylum citrate versus adrenaline to minimise haemorrhage-related complications in paediatric hypospadiac patients.

Patients And Methods: A total of 108 consecutive paediatric hypospadiac patients (48 in the study group and 60 control - random allocation) were studied. In the study group, 1% feracrylum citrate solution was used and adrenaline (1:100,000) in controls.

Hemostasis during hypospadias surgery via topical application of feracrylum citrate: A randomized prospective study.

Aim: Report of our experience with topical feracrylum citrate to minimize hemorrhage-related complications in pediatric hypospadiac patients.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and fifty consecutive pediatric hypospadiac patients over 3 years (75 in study group and 75 controls - random allocation) were studied. One hundred milliliter of 1% feracrylum citrate solution was used in study cases and equivalent normal saline in controls.

Isolated renal artery thrombosis because of blunt trauma abdomen: report of a case with review of the literature.
