Morbidity and mortality after elective cancer surgery-How does recent Covid-19 infection impact outcome: A prospective, comparative study.

Background And Aims: Post-Covid-19 cancer patients are likely to have poor postoperative outcomes following cancer surgeries. This is mainly because of the coexisting risk factors unique to cancer patients like immunosuppression, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy-induced risk of infection and malnutrition. The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative morbidity in cancer patients with and without a history of Covid infection.

Prospective analysis of goal-directed fluid therapy vs conventional fluid therapy in perioperative outcome of composite resections of head and neck malignancy with free tissue transfer.

Background And Aim: Head and neck cancer surgeries with free tissue transfer are complex procedures, and fluid management can grossly affect the microvascular anastomosis. We hypothesise that intra-operative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is the key to administer fluid individualised to a patient's requirement. The aim of this study was to observe the role of GDFT in perioperative flap outcome and length of hospital stay.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis: A comparative study of ondansetron, granisetron and granisetron and dexamethasone combination after modified radical mastectomy.

Background: Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is commonly seen after modified radical mastectomy (MRM). In this randomized double-blind prospective study we compared the efficacy of ondansetron, granisetron and granisetron and dexamethasone combination for prevention of PONV following MRM in female patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 75 patients (20-60 years of age) undergoing elective MRM were randomly allocated to one of the three groups of 25 patients each.
