BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESThe incidence of liver abscess both Pyogenic and Amoebic liver abscess is steadily increasing. Liver abscess is a treatable condition and without treatment the mortality of the liver abscess is very high. The objective of the study is to compare and correlate the therapeutic effectiveness of percutaneous needle aspiration and percutaneous catheter drainage in the treatment of liver abscess and to indicate the various determinants that affect the success of both the procedures.
Background: Inguinal mesh hernioplasty is one of the common procedures performed throughout the world. There are open and laparoscopic techniques of hernia repair. The laparoscopic approach to inguinal hernioplasty is now well established. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty and laparoscopic TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair) considering these criterias, such as, duration of the surgery, hospital stay, and duration to resume normal activity, cosmesis, degree of postoperative pain, wound infection, recurrence and complications.Methods: A prospective randomized study was conducted by comparing patients (two groups) who underwent laparoscopic (TAPP) and Lichtenstein Tension free open hernioplasty in SVMCH and RC from November 2016 to June 2017.Results: Among the two groups of patients, depending on my criteria’s, namely, cosmesis (p-0.074) and postoperative cord edema (p-0.042), patients who underwent TAPP had statistically better outcomes than open hernioplasty.Conclusions: My study concludes that laparoscopic TAPP repair is safe and efficacious and the analysis here states the absolute superiority of laparoscopic TAPP over Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
