RESUMO

Introduction: Blunt abdominal trauma bears significant morbidity and mortality worldwide and needs careful evaluation and management for a better outcome, where the resources are limited and the impact of the financial burden is very important. Previously, many cases used to be managed with operative procedures, and now the trend has been shifting to non-operative management. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of blunt abdominal trauma among patients admitted to the Department of Surgery of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This was descriptive cross-sectional study done between 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2023 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 2312202103). The decision of non-operative versus operative treatment was decided with dynamic clinical evaluation and severity of intraabdominal injuries. Demographic data, the mechanism of injury, and both conservative and operative management were studied. All the patients who were more than 18 years of age, and admitted to the Department of Surgery were included in the study. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among a total of 1450 patients, the prevalence of blunt abdominal trauma was 140 (9.65%) (8.13-11.17, 95% Confidence Interval). A total of 61 (43.57%) were young within the age group of 18-30 with a male-female ratio of 4:1. Road traffic accidents 79 (56.43%) were the most common mechanism followed by falls from heights 51 (36.43%). Conclusions: The prevalence of blunt abdominal trauma among patients admitted to the Department of Surgery was found to be higher than in other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: blunt injuries; conservative management; operative surgical procedure.

RESUMO

Introduction: Abdominal scars result from various open abdominal surgeries. Laparoscopic surgery in previous open abdominal surgery possesses various challenges to the surgeon like gaining access to the abdominal cavity, and difficulty in dissection due to dense adhesions from previous surgeries for various intraabdominal pathologies. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of previous abdominal scars among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a tertiary care centre from 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2023 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Palmer's point approach via Hassen open technique or direct optical entry was used for cases with previous abdominal scars to gain access to the abdominal cavity. Patients with symptomatic gallstone diseases were included in the study whereas patients with cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and previous cesarean scar were excluded. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 160 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, previous abdominal scars was found in 40 (25%) patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of previous abdominal scars contributing to intraoperative and post-operative difficulties among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy was found to be higher than in studies done in similar settings. Keywords: laparoscopic cholecystectomy; open surgery; prevalence.
