To study various clinical presentations and out come of management of abdominal tuberculosis. Prospective cross-sectional study. This study was conducted at the Surgical Unit-1 Ghulam Mohammad Maher Medical College Hospital Sukkur and Al-Khair Hospital Sukkur from January 2007 to December 2010. The 65 patients admitted throughout patient department and emergency with abdominal catastrophes. Ages ranged between 14 to 70 years. Out of 65 patients 37 were males and 28 were females. All the patients were evaluated with history, examination and investigations. 34 patients were operated and the resected tissue sent for histopathology to conform the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Out of 65 cases of abdominal tuberculosis, 37 were male and 28 female. The mean age was 30.9 years with SD 14.19 [range 14 to 70 years]. The mean duration of symptoms at presentation was 6 months [range 1 month to 24 months]. 35 [52.3%] out of 65 patients were admitted with different complications in which 10 [29.4%] presented with peritonitis due to gut perforation, 9 [26.5%] with sub-acute intestinal obstruction, 8 [23.5%] with abdominal mass, 5 [14.7%] with acute appendicitis and 2[5.9%] with umbilical fistula. Surgery was performed in all these patients, Stricturoplasty done in 13 [38.3%], Ileostomy in 8 [23.5%], resection anastomosis in 5[14.7%], Right Hemicolectomy in 5 [14.7%] and adhesionolysis and biopsy in 3 [8.8%] patients. Diagnosis in these patients was confirmed with biopsy. Morbidity and mortality in this group was 40.2% and 17.6% respectively. Early diagnosis of the abdominal tuberculosis is possible only by the specific investigations like PCR. As these are not available in the remote areas of Sindh so the general surgeons in the peripheral tertiary care hospitals have to face such patients with complications. Early diagnosis of ATB can be made by high index of clinical suspicion to symptoms of abdominal pain, weight loss, low grade fever and vague ill health of more than one month duration and refractory to conventional treatment associated with raised ESR, positive Montoux test. To above symptomatology if empirical ATT is started early many of the complications of ATB can be avoided

Violence has become part and parcel of the daily routine of living, the prospective study of 86 patients, sustaining abdominal gunshot wounds was designed to evaluate the pattern, presentation and treatment outcome. Descriptive study. This study was conducted at the department of Surgery, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College Sukkur from January 2011 to January 2012. patients presenting with abdominal firearm wounds at accident and emergency department were included in this study, clinically all were evaluated, resuscitated and their findings were recorded on proforma. Patients with signs of acute abdomen [peritonitis]/ shock underwent midline emergency laparotomy, others having minimal or equivocal abdominal signs were selected for observation [non-operative management] group. Total number of patients included was 86, all were males, they belonged to age varying from 15-70 years. 54 [62.8%] were below the 40 years of age, in 44 [51.1%] cases instrument of attack used by assailant was pistol/shotgun, 45[52.3%] cases were victims of armed robbery, in 75 [87.2%] entrance wounds were present in anterior abdominal wall where as in 11[12.1%] were present posterirly, 67 [77.9%] underwent emergency laparotomy and 19 [22%] were observed initially. Two patients belonging to observation group showed failure, needed delayed laparotomy and both had positive laparotomy. Gunshot wounds of abdomen can be safely managed non-operatively, in the absence of abdominal tenderness haemodynamic instability or inevaluable factors as head injury and heavy intoxication. Success of non operative management depends upon continuous monitoring and frequent clinical examination
Résumé
Chronic anal fissure is the most common cause of anal pain associated with internal anal sphincter hypertonia. Although lateral internal sphincterotomy [LIS] is an effective treatment of chronic fissure in ano, it has the potential to cause serious complications, the most distressing of which is incontinence to flatus and fecal soiling. We proposed fissurectomy [F] as an alternative surgical treatment. Experimental and Comparative Study. This study was conducted at Surgical Department, Ghulam Mohammad Mahar Medical College Sukkur. One hundred twenty four patients, divided into two groups. Sixty patients underwent fissurectomy and 64 underwent lateral internal sphincterotomy. After a median follow-up of 18 months, we compared the results of the two procedures. In addition to frequent visits on a predetermined basis, a telephone inquiry into fissure recurrence and continence status was made. All patients in either group were pain-free and without bleeding within one week. In both groups, urinary retention was noted in two patients. Incontinence to flatus occurred in four patients [6.2%] in the LIS group, but no incontinence was noted in the F group. There were two patients [3.1%] with fissure recurrence in the LIS group, but no one in F group. No patient in either group was afflicted with anal stenosis or perianal infections. All wounds healed within 6 to 8 weeks. 58 patients [96.6%] in the F group and 56 [87.5%] in the LIS group reported satisfactory results. In surgical treatment of chronic anal fissures not responding to conservative management, fissurectomy may be a sphincter-sparing alternative and perhaps a preferable surgical technique

To determine the indication and frequency of complications occurring with construction of colostomy in children. This descriptive study was conducted at Paediatric Surgery department of PMC Hospital and at Mumtaz Medical Center [Pvt.] Nawab Shah, from April 2008 to December 2009. All patients who required colostomy as the part of management were included in this study. The patients who were operated upon previously or elsewhere and were referred after having colostomy, were excluded. In all patients loop colostomy was performed. Complications after colostomy construction were noted on a proforma. Thirty- seven colostomies were created in 36 patients. Sigmoid loop colostomies were 51.35%, Right and left transverse colostomies in 24.32% each. All patients were operated due to congenital anomalies. Twenty-eight patients had anorectal malformation and 8 Hirschsprung's disease. Common Complications related to stoma were excoriation of skin 58.82% and prolapse of stoma [50%]. Anaemia due to chronic blood loss was seen in 53.33% of patients. Transverse loop colostomy had higher number of complications / problems as compared with sigmoid loop colostomy. Five [13.88%] patients died [Three because of septicaemiae, one because of high grade fever at home, and one died on 2nd of PSARP, the cause could not be ascertained. Construction of colostomy in paediatric patients carries high frequency of complications and requires careful technique. A sigmoid loop colostomy is an ideal as it has minimal complications. Stoma care clinic and enterostomal therapist can be helpful in educating families for stoma care and to decrease the incidence of complications

To determine the frequency and reasons of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy [LC] to open cholecystectomy [OC]. This prospective study was carried out in the Surgical unit III, Peoples Medical College Hospital from April 2006 to October 2009 male and female] were included in the study, all were evaluated fully preoperatively in respect to disease and general fitness of the patient for surgery and counseled regarding possibility of conversion from LC to OC. 6 patients [8.8%] were converted to open procedure. Obscure anatomy of Calot's triangle, bleeding and bile duct injury were common reasons of conversion. Even in difficult cases LC is a safe procedure with low incidence of conversion and complications in hands of experienced laparoscopic surgeon, where as junior surgeons being in learning curve are less confident and skillful, so are prone to more complications. Therefore they are advised to convert to open procedure earlier according to the criteria laid down, before complication occurs

To assess the level of knowledge and attitude of patients towards Hepatitis B and C in a public sector hospital, especially with reference to educational level. Descriptive and cross sectional study, from April to August 2006. Surgical Unit-I, Nawabshah Medical College Hospital, Nawabshah. All patients admitted in Surgical Unit-I NMCH, during the study period. Data was collected on a preformed questionnaire. Results were compiled and compared with national and international literature. During the study period 500 admitted patients were asked questions regarding Hepatitis B and C. Amongst them 280 were males and 220 females. Only 10% males and 5.9% females were educated beyond primary level, and 20.4% males and 10% females to primary level, while 76% were illiterate. Patients educated beyond primary level had more knowledge than illiterate persons about the condition, especially regarding the cause, organ of involvement prevalence in society, presentation, and vaccination for Hepatitis B. One alarming thing found in this study was lack of knowledge about risk factors, especially amongst illiterate persons. There was also lack of responsibility and poor attitude of even educated persons towards the treatment of these diseases. Both literate and illiterate persons were following customs of community and relying on homeopathic or herbal medicines for their treatment. There is a significant lack of knowledge and poor attitude of people towards Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in this area
