Challenges and Triumphs in Enterocutaneous Fistula Management: A Case Report of Complex Surgical Intervention and Multidisciplinary Care.

Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECF) present complex challenges following abdominal surgery, involving abnormal communication between the gastrointestinal system and skin. We report an intriguing case of a 50-year-old female with a history of appendiceal perforation, primarily managed by right hemicolectomy with ileotransverse anastomosis, which led to an anastomotic leak and eventually an ECF. Failed conservative management, prompting re-exploratory laparotomy revealing extensive adhesions and iatrogenic enterotomies secondary to attempted adhesiolysis, led to multiple fistulae, further complicated by failed abdominal closure leading to a large abdominal wound to be managed along with the numerous enteroatmospheric fistulae.

Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM Plus) Repair Versus Extended-View Totally Extraperitoneal Rives-Stoppa (eTEP-RS) Repair in Primary Ventral Hernias: Experience With 50 Cases in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background Primary ventral hernias are abnormal protrusions of abdominal viscera through the areas of weakness in the fascia of the abdominal wall. The aim of this study was to compare the benefits and complications, and the overall outcome in the Extended-View Totally Extraperitoneal Rives-Stoppa (eTEP-RS) repair versus Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM Plus) repair in the management of primary ventral hernias. Methods After obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance, this prospective comparative study between IPOM Plus and eTEP-RS was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from December 2020 to January 2022.

Laparoscopic versus Open Appendectomy: A Prospective Comparative Study and 4-Year Experience in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

 The aim of this study was to validate the pros of laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) over open appendectomy (OA) and to compare various primary outcome measures in the management of acute and recurrent appendicitis.  Prospective comparative study.  Between June 2015 and October 2019 in JJ Hospital, Mumbai.

Use of indocyanine green-aided real-time angiography in laparoscopic mesenteric cyst excision - A safer approach.

Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal lesions in the mesentery of the intestine. Complete surgical excision is the only treatment which can be done by an open laparotomy or laparoscopic technique. Application of indocyanine green dye during the surgery helps in identification of the mesenteric vasculature, prevention and early repair of inadvertent iatrogenic vascular and bowel injury.
