Article Synopsis
- Staging laparoscopy (SL) helps avoid unnecessary surgeries in patients with hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) cancers by accurately identifying resectable diseases, but has limitations in detecting deep-seated malignancies.
- In a study from 2017 to 2019, 40 patients underwent SL and laparoscopic ultrasonography, with findings revealing that 20% had undetected metastatic lesions, which impacted their treatment options.
- The study concluded that incorporating laparoscopic ultrasonography improves the detection of deep-seated lesions, aiding in treatment decisions for patients with HPB malignancies.
Background: Totally extra-peritoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair are two established minimal access techniques of groin hernia surgery. TEP offers the advantage of avoiding violation of the peritoneal cavity.
Aim: This study aims to describe the decade-long experience of TEP in groin hernia repair in a tertiary care teaching institute and the feasibility of the same in difficult scenarios.
A man in his 40s presented with an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) 6 hours after symptom onset to a non-percutaneous intervention enabled hospital and underwent thrombolysis with tenecteplase. His chest pain resolved post-thrombolysis although ST segment resolution was less than 50%. He had an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) 48 hours after MI which was successfully cardioverted with 150 J biphasic shock.

Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted in a single surgical unit at a tertiary care hospital. A sample size of 144 was calculated with 72 in each group (Group 1 TEP and Group 2 TAPP).
