Operative versus non-operative management of adhesive small bowel obstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To investigate outcomes of operative and non-operative management of adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO).

Methods: We performed a systematic review in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement standards. We conducted a search of electronic information sources to identify all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies investigating outcomes of operative versus non-operative management of patients with adhesive SBO.

Retroperitoneal Sarcoma. Outcome Analysis in a Teaching Hospital in Eastern India- a Perspective.

Primary Retroperitoneal Sarcomas are relatively uncommon tumors with varied manifestations, ill-defined prognostic factors and uncertain management modalities. We undertook this study to review patients who presented with primary or recurrent RPS at our institute during the study period. Between 2008 and 2010, 23 patients were evaluated.

Cutaneous malignant and premalignant conditions caused by chronic arsenicosis from contaminated ground water consumption: a profile of patients from eastern India.

Natural arsenic pollution is a major global health problem. The two worst affected areas e Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. Arsenic is a well-documented human carcinogen that affects many organs including the skin.

Torsion of the epiploic appendix: An unusual cause of acute abdomen.

Summary: Torsion of an epiploic appendix is a rare surgical entity. We present our experience in a thirty five year old female patient and a forty year old male patient.

Materials And Methods: A 35 year old lady had presented with right iliac fossa pain of 2 days duration.

Antegrade common bile duct (CBD) stenting after laparoscopic CBD exploration.

Unlabelled: Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) has been found to be a safe, efficient and cost-effective treatment for choledocholithiasis. Following LCBDE, the clearance may be ascertained by a cholangiogram or choledochoscopy. The common bile duct (CBD) may be closed primarily with or without a stent in situ or may be drained by means of a T-tube or a biliary enteric anastomosis.

Endoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair for occult bilateral obturator hernias and multiple groin hernias.

Introduction: An obturator hernia is a rare hernia that is bilateral in about 6% of patients. Most patients present with chronic pelvic pain although a few patients may present with features of intestinal obstruction. Only about 10% of obturator hernias are diagnosed preoperatively.

Recurrent hernia following endoscopic total extraperitoneal repair.

Background And Purpose: A retrospective study was conducted to identify the reasons for recurrence following endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernias and to develop a strategy to prevent recurrence.

Method: Between January 1996 and December 2001, 1193 TEP hernia repairs were performed in 694 patients. Following reduction of the hernia sac and dissection of the preperitoneal space up to the psoas muscles laterally, a Prolene mesh (15 x 15 cm) was placed.

Laparoscopic reintervention for residual gallstone disease.

Laparoscopic reintervention is being increasingly performed in patients who have previously undergone surgery for gallstone disease. A few patients with gallbladder remnants or a cystic duct stump with residual stones have recurrent symptoms of biliary disease. Patients with bile duct injuries were excluded from the study.

Pericholecystic fistula: a study of 64 cases.

Spontaneous biliary fistulas are found quite often. Although previously considered as a contraindication to laparoscopic surgery, they are now being treated laparoscopically with all its advantages. Of 8015 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 64 patients were diagnosed preoperatively; conversion to open surgery was required in 8 patients.
