Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of tracheotomies in our department over the last five (5) years, list the indications and explain the technique and postoperative follow-up. Material and Methods: This is a 5-year (January 2013-December 2017) retrospective and analytical study of the records of patients who have had tracheotomies in the ENT and Neck and Facial Surgery department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry. Results: During this period, 48 tracheotomies were performed in the department, with a frequency of 5.42%. The mean age of our patients was 35 years with extremes of 9 years and 67 years. The age group from 10 to 19 was the most affected. The sex ratio was 1.67. All socio-professional categories were affected. The aetiologies of the air obstacle were dominated by cancerous lesions: laryngeal cancer, laryngeal papillomatosis and hypopharyngeal cancer, representing 22.92%, 20.83% and 14.58% of cases respectively. The tracheotomy was most often carried out under local anaesthesia with a supra isthmic tracheal opening in an inverted H or I shape in 77.08% of cases. Complications observed in our series were cervical emphysema and obstructive mucus plug in 6.25% of cases and 1 case of death, i.e. 2.08%. Early decanulation was performed in 41.67% of cases. Conclusion: Tracheostomy is a lifesaving procedure and commonly performed in our practice. A proper technique with carefully selected indications enables minimises the risk of complications.

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed.

Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and children in < 1yr of age (1). Intussusception cases usually reported late therefore operative procedure was inevitable and results in significant morbidity and mortality. By this study we emphasized on timely transfer of intussusception case to a pediatric surgical center so as to decrease surgical risk. The surgical morbidity was low in those who were admitted early or directly to our center.  Methods - We retrospectively reviewed cases of intussusception in children <15 years. Children were treated from October 2015 to December 2107 at pediatric surgery department of SMS medical college Jaipur Rajasthan. Age, sex, month of admission, symptom with duration, diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities were recorded and analyzed.  Results - We studied 300 patients with intussusception.272 (90%) were treated surgically. We recently started ultrasonography guided pneumatic reduction and 24(85.7%) out of 28 treated successfully by it. Out of the patients requiring surgery 202 (67.34%) patients were reduced by per-operative manual reduction and in 60(22%) patients resection and anastomosis with 10(3.6%) treated with resection and ileostomy. 25.34% cases have delayed diagnosis and lately  transferred from peripheral hospitals requiring resection and diversion. Conclusion - In conclusion, Intussusception cases usually reported late therefore high likelihood of surgical management. The patients who underwent resection have longer duration of hospital stay.

During 2011-2012, 56 patients diagnosed with parotid tumors were admitted to the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of “Lucian Blaga” University and in Euroclinic Hospital. 72% were benign tumors and 28% malignant. All patients received surgical treatment (total or partial parotidectomy). For the malignant tumors, radiotherapy was added to the modal treatment (94% of the cases). Pleomorphic adenoma was encountered in 70% of the benign cases, followed by Warthin tumor in 15%. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was noticed in 31% of the malignant cases, mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 25% of the cases, and squamous carcinoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma on 12.5% of the malignant cases.

Liechtenstein procedure represents the most frequent technique used for surgical abdominal interventions. Although, it is a modern and inovative procedure, it still has a relative risk for complications. A number of 93 subjects were included in our research. We develop our study in General Surgery Department of County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, Romania between 1st July 2017-31th March 2018. From the total of 93 patients, 88% were men. Most of subjects had ages between 70 and 79 years old, were operated by Liechtenstein technique and they were coming from quite equal percent from rural and urban areas.The incidence for complications(seroma, hematoma, infection, abscess) was generally lower for the patients diagnosticated with Liechtenstein procedure comparing with the subjects operated by other technique. Liechtenstein procedureis recommended especially for its simplicity and efficiency, reproducibility and safety. It is very important to choose the perfect synthetic prosthetic material to have a good evolution of the disorder and a small recurrence rate.
