An Analysis of the Impact of Intra-abdominal Pressure on Surgical Outcomes in Cases of Intestinal Obstruction: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: The decision and timing of surgical exploration of intestinal obstruction depend on the clinical findings and probable etiology of the symptoms. Patients with intestinal obstruction often have intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), which is associated with a poor prognosis.

Purpose Of The Study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes in patients with intestinal obstruction in relation to intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).

Patterns and Management of Unprovoked Bull Attack Injuries: A Retrospective Case Series.

Introduction Animal attacks cause a considerable number of injuries and lead to morbidity and mortality among children and adults. Bull gore injuries following bullfighting and other provoked attacks have been frequently described in literature. Our study describes the pattern of injuries and the unique mechanisms and management of blunt and penetrating trauma associated with unprovoked bull attacks.

A newer method of seroma reduction by fenestration of pseudo-sac during laparoscopic repair of direct inguinal hernia: A randomised, controlled pilot study.

Background: Minimally invasive surgeries for inguinal hernia repair have been reduced post-operative morbidity. However, certain complications such as seroma formation are unavoidable. In this study, we introduce a newer technique of reducing seroma formation by fenestration of the pseudo-sac (thickened transversalis fascia) in patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair for uncomplicated direct inguinal hernia.

Post-COVID-19 Intestinal and Mesenteric Mucormycosis.

A thirty-eight-year-old uncontrolled diabetic with a recent COVID-19 infection presented with extensive bowel ischemia and gangrene with a microscopic diagnosis of intestinal and mesenteric mucormycosis. Although there are a few reported cases of primary gastrointestinal mucormycosis, our case showing involvement of the intestine and/or mesentery, that too in a post-COVID patient, is quite uncommon. The immunosuppressive effect of the COVID-19 disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and the use of corticosteroids for the treatment of severe COVID are the most probable reasons for the emergence of severe opportunistic infections, both as a coinfection and as a sequalae to COVID.

Primary echinococcal cyst in Trapezius muscle: An unusual intermuscular hydatidosis and review of literature.

The primary hydatid disease in musculoskeletal position is not common, but maybe present in endemic areas. The human being is always an accidental host. We reported a 30 years adult male patient with trapezius muscle primary hydatidosis.
