Title : The Wound Healing Potential of Polyherbal Formulation (Onopolis Spray Gel) in Rats
Abstract : This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a new polyherbal formulation (Onopolis spray gel) which contains Centella asiatica, Aloe vera, Stichopus variegatus, and propolis extracts in HPMC and Carbopol gel bases used in the healing of second-degree burns. This study used a true experimental design with only a post-test control group. The sample used in this study consisted of 15 rats divided into 3 groups including the control, commercial control, and the Onopolis spray gel groups using a second-degree burn model made by attaching hot metal (60°C) for 5 seconds to the backs of shaved rats. The treatment lasted 14 days, with skin samples obtained on days 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, hematoxylin and eosin staining were used in making the preparations. It was also shown that the polyherbal group (Onopolis) and commercial control (Phocagel) was seen to have performed better than the control group (without medication) with re-epithelialization rates of 41.45 %, 42.85 %, and 33.19 % on the 7th day, and 70.09 %, 71.08 %, and 64.66 % on the 14th day, respectively. Conclusion: The polyherbal spray gel formula had the potential to treat second-degree burns..

Title : A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FLAP RECONSTRUCTION VERSUS EXCISION TECHNIQUE FOR PILONIDAL SINUS
Abstract : To determine the advantages and disadvantages of flap reconstruction surgery and open excision with direct closure method for treatment of pilonidal sinus. The article presents materials on prospective observational study of 50 patients of pilonidal sinus of which 25 patients underwent flap reconstruction and the other 25 underwent open excision and primary closure. Time taken for complete healing and return to work were recorded. Post operative complications such as (wound infection, collection, dehiscence) were more common in open excision group than in the flap reconstruction group. Mean follow-up was 6 months. A significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of length of hospital stay, time taken for complete healing, wound infection(P<0.001), recurrence rates. In flap group the infection, wound dehiscence and recurrence are lower than the open group. Flap reconstructions were superior to primary closure after excision of pilonidal sinus and that Limberg flap was superior with regard to wound infection and recurrence..

Title : A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EFFICACY OF LIGATION OF INTERSPHINCTERIC FISTULOUS TRACT AND OPEN FISTULECTOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FISTULA IN ANO
Abstract : Ligation of intersphincteric fistulous tract (LIFT) was introduced by the Thai surgeon [5]. The present study compared the efficacy of ligation of intersphincteric fistulous tract with that of open fistulectomy procedure in the management of fistula-in-ano in terms of postoperative pain and bleeding, wound healing, recurrence over a period of 6 months and fecal continence. Over a period of 18 months, fistula-in-ano patients attending a tertiary hospital were enrolled in the study. About 46 patients were assigned to Group A (LIFT) and Group B (Fistulectomy) each in a randomized manner. Patients underwent the procedure and were followed up in immediate post-operative period and for a period of six months. The average hospital stay of patients from Group A (2.5 days ± 1.09 SD) was lesser than that of patients in Group B (3.26 days ± 1.02 SD). The wound healing rates were better in those undergoing LIFT in Group A (1.09 ±0.35SD) than in Group B (1.30 ±0.63SD). [p value: 0.043]. Patients in Group A (LIFT group) reported no fecal incontinence, lesser post-operative bleeding and pain, and lesser recurrence. Overall, the present study demonstrated a better side effect profile with LIFT as compared to Fistulectomy; and better short term results. These results are promising and validate the global interest in LIFT. Further research is necessary to cement the role of LIFT in management of fistula-in-ano, particularly in terms of long-term outcomes..

Title : Comparative study of use of Harmonic scalpel versus Electrocautery in dissection and removal of Gall bladder from Gall bladder bed in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Abstract : This study is conducted to compare harmonic scalpel versus electrocautery in laproscopic cholecystectomy with respect to operative time/complications, post-operative pain and time to resume activity in patients operated in our institute. Prospective observational study was conducted in our institute from September 2019 to August 2021 following approval from Ethical committee of hospital. Prior to surgery, all patients were kept nil by mouth overnight and given a prophylactic antibiotic dose. All of the procedures were conducted by the same surgical team, under general anesthesia, and intra-operative and post-operative data were all documented. Mean age of 100 study sample was 49.50 years (SD – 5.651 years), with highest 63 years and lowest 38 years. Abdominal pain most common complaint present in 60 subjects followed by nausea (20) & vomiting (15). Intraoperative complications more in laproscopic cholecystectomy where gall bladder removed by electrocautery (32) than with harmonic scalpel (5). Bile leak, gall bladder perforation and stone spillage are common complications with electrocautery. Mean surgery duration, frequency of lens cleaning, post-operative pain score for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with harmonic scalpel was lower than with electrocautery and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.000). Mean duration to resume daily activity (days) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with harmonic scalpel was lower than with electrocautery and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.000). As per our study, we inferred that harmonic scalpel use is associated with less intra-operative time/complication and post-operative pain, as compared with the use of electrocautery..

Title : A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN MASS CLOSURE AND LAYERED CLOSURE IN MIDLINE ABDOMINAL INCISIONS
Abstract : For many years, opening and closing the wall of the abdomen has been a practice of surgical training. Study was a randomized non-blinded clinical trial done within 18 monthsat Department of General Surgery, Dr. DY Patil Medical College, Pimpri, Pune All patients were operated under general anesthesia. In all cases, incisions were extended below the level of the arcuate line. Skin closed with non absorbable material with interrupted mattress sutures. Abdominal drains were kept wherever found necessary using a separate stab incision. Suture material used in study was In mass closure-the abdomen closed using the single layer closure technique with all layers of the abdominal wall sutured in a single layer with POLYPROPYLENE No. 1 curved cutting needle. Continuous suturing and burial of the knots and interrupted mass closure was done in these patients. In layered closure-In this group, the abdomen was closed in layers using a continuous layer of POLYGLACTIN No. 2-0 for peritoneum and posterior rectus sheath and POLYPROPYLENE No. 1 loop suture for anterior rectus sheath. Mean incision closure time was 15.5 ± 2.8 minutes in the mass closure group as compared to 23.4 ± 2.7 minutes in the layered closure technique (p value < 0.001). With lower postoperative mean pain and incidence of burst abdomen in mass closure as compared to the layered closure group. Wound infection rate was similar in the two study groups..
