Management of laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications

This article aimed at throwing a light on management of bile duct injuries inflicted during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The present research included 60 patients, presented with biliary complications after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They were selected from Al-Azhar university hospitals and Domiate general Hospitals, in the period from March 2003 to March 2006. The results of this work proved that complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were well tolerated and the majority of them successfully managed conservatively and those needed surgical interference showed very good results. Although it has some complications, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is advocated to be the procedure of choice in the management of gall bladder diseases [stones] as its complications are tolerated and managed with conservative or surgical treatment with a success rate over 90%

Evaluation of endoscopically assisted abdominoplasty

This study compare between open and endoscopically assisted abdominoplasty in the treatment of abdominal hernias and contour problems in Egyptian patients. The present study included 60 patients who come for abdominal contouring or hernial repair with abdominoplasty. Patients were selected from Al-Azher University hospitals and Domiate General Hospitals. All cases were subjected to full history taking, clinical examination and laboratory investigations and then subjected to open or endoscopically assisted abdominoplasty. The results of this work proved that endoscopically assisted abdominoplasty is better than open technique as regards to aesthetic outcome and decreased morbidity of the procedure. endoscopically assisted abdominoplasty is advocated for those eligible for it and much training courses on the procedure must be planned from time to time

One stage repair of hypospadias

This study was done on 63 patients with various degrees of hypospadias, their ages renged from 3 months to 35 years. The location of native meatus was anterior penile in 30, middle in 25 and penoscrotal in 8. Several techniques for correction of hypospadias were used depending on the location of the abnormal meatus. Suprapublic drainage was used in proximal penile and penoscrotal varieties, while urethral drainage was 4% while in proximal shaft and penoscrotal level was 37.5%. Due to low incidence of complication of one stage repair for all types of hypospadias, this should be recommended with selection of the suitable technique for each type
