ORIGINAL PROF-3519 ABSTRACT… Objectives: To highlight an economical laparoscopic technique for rapid recovery & early return to work especially for the 3rd world inguinal hernia patients. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Surgical unit of Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: 02 years i.e. from January 2014 to January 2016. Methods: There were 90 patients in the study. A prolene mesh of 15 x 15 cm used for the repair of inguinal hernia laparoscopiclly without the use of spacer balloon & tacker (To make it cost effective). Results: Out of 90 patients only 3 patients develop scrotal seroma. All the patients discharged on the 1st postoperative day & allowed to return to their normal routine work from the 3rd postoperative day onward. Conclusion: (e-TEP) without spacer balloon & tacker is an economical approach toward the inguinal hernia repair.
Objectives: To describe the incidence of wound infection when gall bladderremoved through umbilical port using the bag formed by surgical glove with a group where bagis not used. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Surgical units of Nishtar Hospital Multan.Period: Two years from November 2013 to November 2015. Material and Method: There were100 patients in study. All patients were divided in two groups, in one group a bag formedby surgical glove is used in other group gall bladder removed without bag. Results: In firstgroup where bag is used minor wound infection occurred in only one patient at the umbilicalport site. In second group where bag is not used for the extraction of gall bladder, the minorwound infection occurred in three patients. Conclusion: The use of endoglove is beneficial inminimizing the port site infection & it is also economical.
