Introduction:
In many surgical practices, laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) has become the procedure of choice for acute appendicitis. Recent data suggests that in certain subsets of the population such as the elderly, LA is associated with less cost and improved postoperative outcomes. However, the cost and morbidity associated with conversion to an open procedure presents a legitimate concern. An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model in which rationally selected input variable
INTRODUCTION:
In emergency surgical practice the use of diagnostic laparoscopy has increased significantly . It helps in both the diagnostic and therapeutic management of surgical conditions avoiding the use of laparotomy. The aim of our study was to identify the use of diagnostic laparoscopy and the subsequent management of acute surgical abdominal conditions and their outcome at our institute.
METHODS:
We collected data over six years from 2008 to 2014 of patients undergoing diagnostic la
Objective :To assess the operative outcomes after laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic ileosigmoid anastomosis (ZHU’s operation or LSCAISA)for the slow-transit constipation.
Methods:reviewed January 2009 and May 2014 the patients with slow-transit constipation underwent laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic.The following pre-operative information were collected: the number of pre-operative bowel movements, constipation intervals, the frequency of using laxative, t
Introduction. In severe cholecystitis laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) can be technically difficult with a high risk of duct and arterial injury. To prevent injury, conversion to open cholecystectomy (OC) is usually made. Another solution is performing of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSTC).
Aim of the study was to investigate the safety and complications of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSTC) compared to conversion to OC for technically difficult cholecystitis.

Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common & the 2nd most lethal cancer in men & women in the UK. Colorectal cancer presents as a surgical emergency in < 30% of cases; obstruction, perforation, abdominal pain, haemorrhage or sepsis. Emergency CRC has been associated with high post-operative morbidity & mortality. The aim of the study is to assess emergency colorectal malignant resections a District General Hospital Materials & Methods This is a retospective study carried out
