Vaccination and associated factors among tribal children of 1 year age in nine Indian districts: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To report on vaccination status by 12 months of age among tribal children from nine districts of India.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of 2631 tribal women having a child aged 12 months or below from nine Indian districts with a considerable proportion of the tribal population. Socio-demographic details, reception of various vaccines by 12 months of age, mother's antenatal care utilisation and health system-related details were collected through a pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaire from mothers.

Jain point laparoscopic entry in contraindications of Palmers point.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of the Jain point to overcome the contraindications of Palmer's point. The Jain point lies on the left side of the abdomen at the L4 level, 10-13 cm lateral to the umbilicus. Due to its anatomical location, the Jain point is free from adhesions because postsurgical adhesions are encountered usually in the midline or the right side.

Jain point: an alternate laparoscopic non-umbilical first blind entry port to avoid vessel, viscera, adhesions and bowel (VVAB).

The Jain point entry is based on the concept of non-umbilical entry to avoid sudden catastrophic injury to major retroperitoneal vessels, viscera, adhesions and bowel which could happen before the start of procedure by blind umbilical entry. To study the safety and efficacy of a novel first non-umbilical blind entry port. Tertiary referral centre for advanced laparoscopic surgeries with active training and fellowship programs.

Left Lateral Port: Safe Laparoscopic Port Entry in Previous Large Upper Abdomen Laparotomy Scar.

The first port entry in patient who underwent previous abdominal surgery. Palmer's point can be used in patients with suspected periumbilical adhesions, a history of an umbilical hernia, or multiple failed attempts of insufflations at the umbilicus. Palmer's point has its limitations in cases of left upper quadrant surgery, splenomegaly, portal hypertension, and improper nasogastric tube placement giving rise to a bloated stomach.

Jain point: A new safe portal for laparoscopic entry in previous surgery cases.

Introduction: The present study was performed to assess the safety and feasibility of a new laparoscopic entry site in cases suspected of adhesions due to previous surgery.

Materials And Methods: It is a retrospective study undertaken at a tertiary care referral center for advanced gynecological laparoscopic surgery from January 2011 to December 2014.

Results: In 624 patients with a history of previous abdominal surgeries, the laparoscopic entry site was through a newly devised point.

Complete imperforate tranverse vaginal septum with septate uterus: A rare anomaly.

The isolated, complete, transverse vaginal septum is one of the most infrequent anomalies of the female genital tract, and when it coexists with a septate uterus, it is even rarer. This report describes a case of transverse vaginal septum with septate uterus. A 12-year-old girl sought medical assessment because of severe cyclic lower abdominal cramping and pelvic pain.

Cystic Adenomyoma simulates uterine malformation: A diagnostic dilemma: Case report of two unusual cases.

Cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of adenomyosis mostly seen in middle aged women.We report two cases of cystic adenomyosis in juvenile patients, which simulate uterine malformation and presented as a diagnostic dilemma. The first patient initially was diagnosed as uterus bicornis with a hematometra in obstructed rudimentary horn while the second patient was diagnosed as broad ligament fibroid.

Laparoscopic Management of Congenital Cervico-Vaginal Agenesis.

We report a case of cervical agenesis or lack of uterine cervix. It is a rare mullerian anomaly and occurs in 1 in 80,000-100,000 births. The patient presented to us with primary amenorrhea and cyclical left lower abdominal pain.

Multiple Layer Closure of Myoma Bed in Laparoscopic Myomectomy.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic Myomectomy and multiple layer closure of myoma bed for management of myomas at a tertiary care hospital.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred and seventeen patients from September 2005 to September 2010 with large and moderate size myomas were managed by laparoscopic Myomectomy. Indications were subfertility, menorrhagia and abdominal mass.

Multiple layer closure of myoma bed in laparoscopic myomectomy.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic myomectomy and multiple layer closure of the myoma bed, for management of myomas, at a tertiary care hospital.

Materials And Methods: From September 2005 to September 2010, 417 patients, with large and moderate size myomas, were managed by laparoscopic myomectomy. Indications were subfertility, menorrhagia, and abdominal mass.
