Dermatobrosarcoma protruberans (DFSP) is a rare mesenchymal sarcoma with low to intermediate grade malignant potential that typically
involves the dermis with an incidence rate of 0.8 to 4.5 cases per million persons per year. Typical presentation is an asymptomatic, indolent,
exophytic protruberant tumour with a high local recurrance rate seen on the trunk. We report a typical case of DFSP with local recurrence on the left
lower back in a 32-year old female which was managed with wide local excision with margins free of tumour inltration conrmed by
histopathology. This case is reported for its rarity
Background: Laparoscopic surgeries are not totally pain free and are associated with early postoperative pain. Although the intensity is lesser than
that of open surgery, few patients have pain till postoperative day 3(up to 72 hours) which can ultimately lead to longer hospital stay, need for rescue
analgesics and other associated complications which nullies the main advantages of laparoscopic surgery. A prospective randomised Methods:
clinical trial was done of 100 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries between February 2021 and December 2022 at our hospital. Test group of
50 patients received 0.2 % ropivacaine around port sites and other 50 in the control group received diclofenac injections thrice a day. Pain was
assessed using Visual Analogue Scale. Majority of patients were female(65%), more belonged t Results: o the 26-35 years age group(39%) and
most common surgery performed was laparoscopic cholecystectomy(47%). VAS score at 1hr, 6hrs and 24hrs after surgery was signicantly lower
in test group when compared to control group(p value <0.005) Ropivacaine instillation around port si Conclusion: tes was found to be effective in
reducing post-operative pain signicantly when compared to the control group at 1hr, 6hrs and 24hrs after the surgery
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.
