Recto perineal fistula: The operation to repair this defect is performed at birth in order to avoid cosmetic, psychological and potential obstetric consequences in the future. This operation is done before the baby leaves the hospital during the newborn period. The patient is placed in prone position with the pelvis elevated. Multiple 6/0 silk stitches are placed around the fistula site. The incision is about 1.5–2 cm long and divides the entire sphincter mechanism in the posterior midline. The

1.3 + (3 × birth weight in kg) in millimeters. Check for the buttock groove: The parasagittal muscle fibers are located on both sides at the midline in normal anal position. These fibers give rise for the midline buttock groove. The higher the fistula in the urethra then fewer the parasagittal fibers are found and so the perineum appears more flat. In the presence of an anal membrane the anus will be in the normal position but a thin epithelial lining is present overlying the opening. Meconium

Crohn 's disease, named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, is a disease that causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. In 1932, Dr. Crohn, together with colleagues Dr. Leon Ginzburg and Dr. Gordon D. Oppenheimer, discovered the disease. In a paper written by these scientists, the disease was described as, “a disease of the terminal ileum affecting many young adults.” Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is very similar to Ulcerative Colitis, another chronic

TITLE DELAYED ONSET HUGE REFRACTORY MULTILOCULATED CERVICAL PSEDOMENINGOCELE AFTER RETROMASTOID CRANIECTOMY –CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE ABSTRACT Pseudomeningoceles after posterior fossa surgery pose a technical challenge to operating neurosurgeons. Cervical pseudomeningocele is unique in that herniation of neural tissue into pseudomeningocele sac produces catastrophic complications. Patient usually presents with postural headache. Treatment includes extrinsic compression, csf diversion

They should be inserted into a vascular access, which is a surgically created either by natural vessels called arteriovenous (AV) fistula or by synthesis teflon called arteriovenous graft. The fistula has two ways of cannulatation one called rope-ladder technique, which is to rotate the needling site in each dialysis session by the use of a sharp needle. The other type is called buttonhole (BH) technique, which is

1. The nurse is assessing a patient suspected of having developed acute glomerulonephritis. The nurse should expect to address what clinical manifestation that is characteristic of this health problem? A) Hematuria B) Precipitous decrease in serum creatinine levels C) Hypotension unresolved by fluid administration D) Glucosuria Ans: A Feedback: The primary presenting feature of acute glomerulonephritis is hematuria (blood in the urine), which may be microscopic (identifiable through microscopic examination)

called peritonitis. This can cause even more spreading of infection and is life threatening. It requires swift attention and may need the infectious gunk sucked out. Another condition that can occur if diverticulitis gets severe enough is fistula. A fistula is an opening on the large intestine and another surface that stick together and form a tunnel. If they are healed while connected, it can cause the spread of bacteria from the large intestine and cause inflammation and infection. The last,

effects many un spayed females: uterus infections a kills a small number of intact females. It can reduce the risk of perianal fistulas. It removes the very small risk from uterine, cervical, and ovarian tumor A neuter eliminates the small risk of dying from cancer of the testes. It will reduce the risk of non-cancerous prostate problems. It reduces the risk of perianal fistulas, and may also possibly reduce the risk of diabetes. There are some negative effects of a spay and neuter. If done under the

and this can access can be surgically created. In the process, surgeons create a fistula, this is a connection between a large artery and vein which is mostly in the arm to allow large quantity of blood into the vein. When this happens, the vein expands or swell rather making its wall increase in thickness to withstand the needle sticks attached from the body to the dialyzer. The only limitation in creating a fistula is that it takes a while to mature, probably weeks or months for it to be ready

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY Background: Whereas it is true that no operation has been more profoundly affected by the advent of laparoscopy than cholecystectomy has, it is equally true that no procedure has been more instrumental in the laparoscopic age than LC has. LC has rapidly become the procedure of choice for routine GB removal and is currently the most commonly performed major abdominal procedure in western countries (Litwin and Cahan, 2008). A National Institutes of Health consensus statement

6 50% of the Meckel’s diverticula are in inguinal hernias, 20% in femoral, 20% in umbilical and remaining 10% in other miscellaneous hernias . complications of Meckel’s diverticula are Haemorrhage ,Obstruction , Diverticulitis ,Umbilico-enteric fistula ,Perforation ,Intussusception , Foreign bodies , Neoplasia-benign or malignant , Peptic ulceration ,Littre’s hernia . The diagnosis of a strangulated Littre’s Hernia is to be made preoperatively as the presenting signs and symptoms are more subtle

She is also responsible for the unit inventory and because of her attention to detail the Veterans’ needs are fulfilled and without delay in care. Her position requires specialized

This was followed by Reichert who performed the first endonasal sinus surgery with a 7-mm endoscope for closure of oroantral fistulas in 1910. Maltz in 1925 promoted the use of nasal endoscopes for diagnostic assessment of the sinonasal cavity and formulated the term sinuscopy explaining visualizing methods for the maxillary sinus by placing endoscopes through the canine fossa

I have not had a negative experience based on gender in the healthcare system. I have always been treated fairly when it came to my healthcare, but I determine that my answer will change once I begin making appointments at an OB/GYN. The only form of inequality I have noticed when it comes my healthcare revolves around the nurse’s office at my high school. She hands out condoms for free, but should I start my menstrual cycle without a pad in stock she would charge me a quarter for each one. It is

Ask any healthcare professional if critical thinking is a necessary tool to have while working with patients and the answer would be an overwhelming YES! IF you ask those nurses how did they develop critical thinking the answer varies, Nurses would not be able to provide sound patient care without book knowledge which aids in critical thinking. In the article Brain Power: Critical thinking skills are nursing’s stock and trade (2011), the author points out that critical thinking is not the same as

Most studies have traditionally sacrificed relatively large numbers of fish to examine their stomach contents. However, sacrificing fish for food habit studies may cause public relations issues. They may not be a convenient option if study fish which are threatened, endangered, economically valuable, or come from a low density population. Additionally, lethal methods may significantly alter the population structure of fish. Accordingly, a number of nonlethal methods were developed to obtain and analyse

The question we all ask ourselves is, Why did Jack the ripper only kill woman? Well, according to Cornwell's theory, Walter Sickert went through rough times when he was a kid. He had to go through a series of painful operations for a fistula of the penis. All of this had scarred him for life and emotionally left him with a hatred towards women. What he went through as a kid can link to the reasons why Jack the ripper had such an obsession with killing woman who were prostitutes. Most people also

The surgery is associated with many avoidable complications and hence requires a serious and cautious approach .The frequency of bile duct injury remains fairly constant .The seriousness of this complication relates in part of problems of biliary fistula and uncontrolled sepsis and in part to the technical difficulties of successful repair of bile duct injuries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice of treatment for gallstones unless there are contraindications
