ABSTRACT
Introduction: Solitary thyroid nodule (STN) presents a challenge in their diagnosis, evaluations, and management. Often,these abnormal growths/lumps are large in size and develop at the edge of the thyroid gland so that they are felt or seen as alump in front of the neck.Materials and Methods: The study is carried out in upgraded Department of General Surgery, Kakatiya Medical College andMahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, during the period of February 2017–October 2018.Results: Among the 62 patients studied in this research, 52 were female and there were 10 males. Females accounted for83.9% of the cases while males accounted for 16.1%. The male-to-female ratio was 5.2:1.Conclusions: Incidence of STN is common in the age group of 18–30 years. Hemithyroidectomy was commonly performedon maximum cases.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Fistula-in-ano form a good majority of treatable benign lesions of the rectum and anal canal. About 90% or soof these cases are end results of crypto glandular infections.Materials and Methods: Patient placed in the lateral position and the external opening of the fistula is identified and cannulated,and saline is injected. The patient is then placed in a supine position in magnetic resonance (MR) gantry.Results: Clinical examination less accurate to detect internal opening while MR fistulogram could detect most of the internalopenings which were confirmed in surgical findings.
