Inguinal hernia is the commonest surgical operation. This is a large study from a district general hospital. The study spanned over 2 years with 2 further years of follow up. It is a retrospective analysis of eight hundred and seventy seven (877)inguinal hernia operations performed in a district general hospital. The following factors were looked at: type of repair, grade of surgeon performing the procedure and outcome of various repairs. The results showed that the most common technique was the Lichenstein's repair(58%). Recurrence rates were between 0.4%-30% depending on types of hernia repair.
The three-way connector is attached to the introducer sheath away from the tapered side. The infusion set and the tubing is attached to the other two limbs of the three way. The infusion set is attached to a pressure bag containing sterile isotonic saline and the tubing attached to an oxygen source. The flow of oxygen and saline can be easily regulated for optimal mixing of gas and saline.
CommentProper visualization by keeping the field clear not only makes the introduction of intracoronary shunt easier but also aids in construction of the coronary anastomosis. It not only blows away the blood from the field but also helps to open the arteriotomy edges by the flow, during the surgery. It also prevents the tissues from drying.We here present a simple, inexpensive and effective method of making a blower for use in OPCABs.
