Abstract Background Anastomotic leak after esophagectomy is associated with high levels of morbidity and may impact negatively on oncological outcomes. The aim of this single centre study was to describe our experience in managing these complications Methods From 2007–2017 data was reviewed retrospectively from our prospectively maintained electronic database. All patients underwent either 2 or 3 phase esophagectomy for cancer of the oesophagus or esophago-gastric junction. All histological sub-types and stage of cancer were included in the analysis. Anastomotic leaks were classified according to the Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG) guidelines; type I—conservative management, type II—non-surgical intervention, type III—surgical intervention. Results 224 esophagectomies were included in our analysis (104 (46%) minimally invasive, 120 (54%) open approach). The incidence of all anastomotic leaks was 10% (23/224). Surgical approach did not influence the incidence of anastomotic leak (minimally invasive 10 (43%), open approach 13(57%), P = 0.76). Five patients (22%) had a type I leak, 9 patients (39%) type II and 9 (39%) had a type III leak. There was an increase in the number of leaks managed non-surgically over the last 5 years compared to those in the first five years of our dataset (2012–2017: 11/23 (48%) vs 2007–2012: 4/23 (17%) P = 0.08). The median time for leak diagnosis was 8 days. Most leaks were diagnosed with oral contrast CT 19 (83%). Median hospital stay after anastomotic leak was 58.5 days. Type III leaks were associated with an increased length of stay (median 84 days) compared to type I&II leaks (median (38.5 days) (P = 0.002 95% CI 18.19- 74.41). There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality between type I&II (0 patients) and type III leaks (1 patient) P = 0.260. Conclusion Low mortality rates with anastomotic leak can be achieved. In centres with experienced radiological and endoscopic skills, most anastomotic leaks can be managed non-surgically. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Type I Thyroplasty

Presbylarynx refers to age-related structural changes of the vocal folds that include muscle atrophy, reduced neuromuscular control, loss of superficial lamina propria layer, and reduced pliability. The changes result in thin and bowed vocal folds, increased vocal effort requirements, breathy voice, change in habitual pitch, and strain. The primary treatment options are voice therapy focused on strengthening breath support and the intrinsic muscles of the larynx, and optimization of resonance; injection augmentation of the vocal folds; and type I thyroplasty. Functional dysphonia is defined as change in voice quality in the absence of structural or neurological abnormalities of the larynx. Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is a subtype of functional voice disorders and involves laryngeal muscle tension imbalance due to excessive or dysregulated activation resulting often in strained or breathy voice. MTD can be divided into primary (psychological etiology or vocal misuse) and secondary (compensatory for organic laryngeal pathology). The mainstay of treatment for MTD is voice therapy, along with medical or surgical treatment of the underlying vocal pathology in secondary MTD. Mutational falsetto, or puberphonia, is a functional voice disorder where a high-pitched, pre-adolescent voice fails to transition to the lower pitch of adulthood.

Introduction: Distal tibial fractures present as a major challenge for the orthopedic trauma surgeons. Most non-operative treatments result in non-union or malunion and needs prolonged immobilization of the knee and ankle joints, with resulting stiffness. Open reduction and internal fixation as well as external fixation has high rate of infection and non-union. Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis has been shown to have a better outcome and has been the procedure of choice in most distal tibial fractures since the introduction of the locking compression plate. The objective of the study is to review the outcome of Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Osteosynthesis (MIPO) in unstable distal tibial fractures.Methods: Charts of patients who underwent MIPO from the year 2008 to 2013 for unstable distal tibial fractures over five years at Patan Hospital and Om Hospital were reviewed. All displaced closed fractures and Gustillo Anderson Type I and II fractures were included in the study. Plates consisted of the anatomically contoured 4.5 mm LCP and 3.5 mm LCP-Pilon form plate. A simple uniplanar external fixator was used to retain the reduction till the plate was inserted and secured with locking screws. The outcome of MIPO in distal tibial fractures were followed up and evaluated.  Clinical and radiological assessments were performed at 6 weeks, and at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months.Results: Of the 75 patients (45 male, 30 female) age ranging from 19 to 70 years (mean 47 years), 5 patients were lost to follow-up. 28 patients at 3 months, 32 at 6 months, and 8 at 9 months met the criteria for a healed fracture. Two patients required autologous bone grafting at 9 months for non-union ultimately resulting in the fracture union at 16 months. There was one malunion attributable to the loss of reduction during plate fixation. There were no deep infections, no soft tissue complications and no failures of fixation. The cause of fracture were RTA (n=35), fall from height (n=9), twisting of ankle as a result of fall from standing height (n=22), and others (n=11). The mean time for surgery from the time of injury was 5 (range, 2 to 14) days; the mean hospital stay was 10 (range, 7 to 21) days.Conclusion: MIPO is an effective treatment for closed, unstable fractures of the distal tibia, avoiding the complications associated with more traditional methods of internal fixation and/or external fixation.Journal of Society of Surgeons of NepalVol. 17, No. 2, 2014, Page: 7-11
