Introduction: The management of renal trauma includes operative and non operative approach based on clinical profile of patient. However, management of the high-grade renal trauma remains controversial. Aim: To evaluate mode of renal injury, staging and its management outcomes. Materials and Methods: This prospective, observational study included 49 patients (>15 years of age) who presented with abdominal trauma. Computed tomography was performed for grading of renal trauma. The patients were stratified based on whether they underwent open renal surgery or conservative management for their renal injury. Demographic characteristics and a detailed history of renal injuries were recorded. The patients were evaluated based on the rate of renal preservation and complications at 6-month follow-up. Results: The mean age was 32.10 years and majority of the patients were males (87.76%). Blunt trauma (95.92%) was most frequently reported. According to American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), 8 (16.33%) patients were categorized in grade I, 17 (34.69%) patients in grade II, 8 (16.33%) patients in grade III, 12 (24.49%) patients in grade IV, and 4 (8.16%) patients in grade V. Microscopic haematuria (42.86%) was the most common clinical presentation. The majority of the patients were managed conservatively (89.8%). Only two belonging to grade 4 and three from grade 5 were managed operatively due to haemodynamic instability. Rib fractures (n=10) were the most frequently associated injury, and Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) (n=8) was the most common complication, followed by persistent haematuria (n=3), and hypertension (n=3). All patients with grades I to III showed 100% renal preservation rate with conservative management. However, patients with grades IV and V showed renal preservation rate of 83.33% and 50%, respectively. Conclusion: Conservative treatment is a preferred choice of treatment in the most of the renal trauma. The present study reported high renal preservation rate in low-grade renal injuries, which were managed conservatively. However, there is still need of surgical treatment in high grade haemodynamically unstable patients.

Introduction: Haemorrhoids is a very common condition in patients presenting to surgery Outpatient Department (OPD) with complaints of bleeding per rectum. Injection Foam Sclerotherapy has been established as a safe, simple and effective non surgical modality in treatment of symptomatic grade 1 and 2 haemorrhoids. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of foam sclerotherapy as a treatment modality in patients suffering with symptomatic Grade I and II Haemorrhoidal diseases. Materials and Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted in General Surgery department of FH Medical College and Hospital, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India between April 2021 to September 2021. A total of 42 patients with complaints of bleeding per rectum, and who were diagnosed as a case of Grade I or II internal haemorrhoids were included. 3% Polidocanol was used as the sclerosing agent for sclerotherapy. Effectiveness of sclerotherapy was evaluated, parameters assessed were bleeding per rectum, pain and pruritis with regular follow-ups of the patients at specific intervals. Results: Among 42 patients 29 (69.05%) patients had grade I haemorrhoids while 13 (30.95%) presented as a case of grade II haemorrhoidal disease. Among the patients with grade I haemorrhoids, 82.76% (24/29) were treated successfully after a single session of foam sclerotherapy while 53.85% (7/13) of the patients with grade II haemorrhoids were symptomatically relieved after a single session. The success rate after 2nd session of sclerotherapy was 100% (29/29) in patients diagnosed as a case of grade I haemorrhoids comparing it to 69.23% (9/13) in those with grade II haemorrhoids. The overall cure rate for either grade of haemorrhoid after three sessions of therapy was 95.24% (40/42). Conclusion: This study reflects that 3% polidocanol when used as a sclerosant agent was found to be cheap, safe and effective, and first line treatment modality in grade I and II haemorrhoids that can be done on outpatient basis with minimal complication.

This case series is about four incidences where the patients had introduced rings around the penis. The duration of the presentation ranged from eight to ninety-six hours. All patients had different degrees of injury and clinical presentation and were managed accordingly. Help of one metallic electrical cutter and two non hospital staff were required while removing those rings and same method was used in all cases. At the time of discharge, one patient was found to have degloved penile skin, others showed sloughed-out skin at the base of the penis. Late presenters had lower Erection Hard Score (EHS) but all had normal voiding of urine at the time of discharge. One patient was known to have schizophrenia. Other patients had no history of mental disorders and psychiatric evaluation was also done during hospital stay. Penile strangulation needs urgent medical attention and the removal of the rings as early as possible. Duration of strangulation and type of object plays a vital role in determining the grade of injury and complications.

Introduction: Symptomatic cholelithiasis is usually treated by cholecystectomy. Cystic Artery (CA) should be ligated prior to removal of gallbladder during cholecystectomy. CA arises from Right Hepatic Artery (RHA) posterolateral to common hepatic duct inside Calot’s triangle but variations of CA are very common. If surgeons fail to identify these variations during cholecystectomy, this artery is more prone to iatrogenic injury leading the profuse bleeding. Aim: To study the variations of CA in terms of its origin, number, length, course and its relation with the biliary ductal system and Calot’s triangle. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Government Tiruvannamalai Medical College, Tamil Nadu, India from August 2019 to July 2022. Forty adult cadaveric liver specimens with intact vasculature of gallbladder were dissected and the variations of CA were noted. Length of CA was measured by using Vernier caliper, and it’s descriptive statistics like range, mean, Standard Deviation (SD) were evaluated by using Microsoft excel 2019 software. Results: The CA arose from RHA in 33 (82.5%), from replaced RHA in 2 (5%), from Left Hepatic Artery (LHA) in 2 (5%), from Proper Hepatic Artery (PHA) in 2 (5%), and from Common Hepatic Artery (CHA) in 1 (2.5%) specimens. Its mean length ±SD was 2.6±0.35 cm. CA was single in 39 specimens (97.5%) (38 single CA inside Calot’s triangle, one single CA was outside of Calot’s triangle). Double cystic arteries were seen in only one specimen (2.5%) and forming compound type of relation with Calot’s triangle (one CA was outside of Calot’s triangle and the other one was inside of that triangle) in it. CA was superomedial to Cystic Duct (CD) in 34 (85%) specimens. This artery was passing anterior and posterior to common hepatic duct in 6 (15%) and 2 (5%) specimens, respectively. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of variations in different parameters of CA in the present study was found to be high as 35%.

Introduction: Existing data regarding the relative position of the various bony landmarks of the orbit suggest that the position of these landmarks may vary depending on the racial population studied. The present study will provide useful baseline orbital morphometric data in Eastern Indian population. Aim: To study the morphometric data of the different orbital dimensions, fissures and foramens of dry skulls in Eastern Indian region. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in the department of Anatomy, of a Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, West Bengal, India from January 2016 to June 2020. Total 101 adult dry skulls (71 male and 30 female) collected from the departments of Anatomy of four medical colleges were included in the study. Orbital height, breadth, index, distance between Supraorbital Notch/foramen (SON) to Superior Orbital Fissure distance (SOF), the Anterior Lacrimal Crest (ALC) to Posterior Lacrimal Crest (PLC), ALC to the medial border of the optic canal, orbital floor and lateral wall were measured. Results: Based on Orbital Index (OI) 39.12% skulls were found to be in mesoseme, 50.5% in microseme and 10.4% in megaseme category, both genders taken together. The mean SON to SOF distance was 42.48 mm in males and 41.52 mm in females. Mean Infraorbital Foramen (IF) to Inferior Orbital Fissure (IOF) distance was 22.4 mm in males and 22.26 mm in females. Average Frontozygomatic Suture (FZ) to Inferior Orbital Fissure (IOF) was 24.35 mm whereas it was 32.97 mm for the ALC to Optic canal (OC) distance. Conclusion: Most of the skulls studies belonged to the microseme category. Orbital height and breadth were significantly higher in males compared to females.

Introduction: Regarding the disorders associated with multiple renal arteries, they are of specific interest to urologists, nephrologists, surgeons, and radiologists. Aim: To identify the presence of multiple renal arteries in the human cadavers. Materials and Methods: An observational cadaveric study was conducted on 50 formalin-fixed human cadavers in Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, from May 2017 to July 2022. Dissection procedure was followed according to standard techniques. Variations and patterns of renal arteries were observed. Descriptive statistics were used and results were expressed in terms of frequency (N) and percentages (%). Results: Out of 50 cadavers, variations in the renal artery were seen in eight cadavers. Four cadavers showed double renal arteries (one right side and three left side). Three cadavers showed early division and one cadaver which has shown double Right Renal Artery (RRA) also showed Early Division of RRA (ED of RRA) and one cadaver showed an Accessory Renal Artery (ARA) on the left side. Conclusion: Variations observed were mainly double renal arteries, early division of the renal arteries, and ARA. This kind of different pattern of variations may play an important role in renal transplants and any surgeries involving the renal arteries.

Introduction: The arch of the aorta normally gives off three major branches from its convex surface. Variations in the branching pattern of the Aortic Arch (AA) are not uncommon. Knowledge of these variations is crucial during aortic instrumentation and thoracic or neck surgeries. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the anatomical variations in the branching pattern of the AA in perinatal and adult cadavers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional cadaveric study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, at Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh, from August 2018 to July 2021. The study included cadavers of various ages and both genders (N=46). Perinatal cadavers received from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department were also included. The thoracic cavity was opened by cutting through the costochondral junctions and reflecting the sternum. Fibrofatty tissue was removed to expose the branches of the AA, which were then examined and classified. Variations were observed, and the results were expressed in terms of frequency and percentages. Results: A classical branching pattern (Type-A) was observed in 89.1% of cadavers. Five cadavers (10.9%), comprising four males and one female, exhibited branching patterns different from the classical pattern. Among them, Type-C variation was noted in 4 (8.7%) cadavers, and Type-D variation was found in 1 (2.2%) male cadaver. Conclusion: Having a good understanding of the variations in the branching pattern of the arch of the aorta can be beneficial for surgeons performing complex vascular surgery.

Introduction: The radial nerve is commonly injured during posterior approach humerus surgeries, making it crucial for surgeons to identify and preserve the nerve. The tricipital aponeurosis (TA) serves as a reliable landmark for identifying the radial nerve during these procedures. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the different shapes and patterns of the TA and their relationship with the radial nerve, as well as their clinical significance. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational cadaveric study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Dr. Chandramma Dayanand Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research (CDSIMER), a unit of Dayanand Sagar University (DSU), Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from January 2022 to April 2022. A total of 40 arms from 20 adult cadavers obtained from CDSIMER were examined. The TA was assessed to record variations in its shape and classified accordingly. The distance of the radial nerve from the point of confluence was measured for different types. Vernier calipers were used for all measurements. The collected data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0, and paired two-tailed Student's t-test was performed. Results: The classical type A was observed in 32 (80%) of the specimens. The mean distance of the radial nerve from the point of confluence of the TA was 30.58±4.29 mm on the right side and 31.27±4.48 mm on the left side, with a p-value of 0.621. Conclusion: Knowledge of the different shapes of the TA and its distance from the radial nerve can assist surgeons in creating a safe zone during various procedures, thereby preventing radial nerve injuries.
在肱骨后入路手术中，桡神经常受到损伤，因此识别和保存桡神经对外科医生来说至关重要。在这些手术中，肱三头腱膜(TA)是识别桡神经的可靠标志。目的:探讨TA的不同形状、形态及其与桡神经的关系及临床意义。材料和方法:横断面观察性尸体研究于2022年1月至2022年4月在印度卡纳塔克邦邦班加罗尔Dayanand Sagar大学(DSU)的Chandramma Dayanand Sagar博士医学教育与研究所(CDSIMER)解剖学系进行。从CDSIMER获得的20具成人尸体共40只手臂进行了检查。评估TA以记录其形状的变化并相应分类。测量不同类型的桡神经离汇合点的距离。所有测量均使用游标卡尺。收集的数据使用SPSS 16.0版本进行分析，并进行配对双尾Student's t检验。结果:经典A型32例(80%)。桡神经距TA汇合点的平均距离右侧30.58±4.29 mm，左侧31.27±4.48 mm, p值为0.621。结论:了解TA的不同形状及其与桡神经的距离可以帮助外科医生在各种手术过程中创建安全区，从而防止桡神经损伤。

Introduction: The lateral ventricle, which is the largest among all ventricles of the brain, can be divided into the frontal horn, body, posterior horn, and inferior horn. Various methodologies may produce different results in measuring the length of the lateral ventricle. Aim: To determine whether there are any differences in the lengths of the lateral ventricle when measured using formalin-fixed brain specimens and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2014 to March 2019 in the Department of Anatomy at Silchar Medical College and Hospital, Assam, India. A total of 127 formalin-fixed cadaveric brain specimens were used to measure the lengths of different parts of the lateral ventricle using a Vernier Calliper. Additionally, MRI scans of 35 patients were used to measure the same lengths. The mean values of the lateral ventricle lengths measured in formalin-fixed brain specimens and MRI scans were compared using Student’s t-test to determine statistical significance. Furthermore, variations in the lengths of the lateral ventricle according to age and gender were also measured using MRI. Results: Among the 127 brain specimens, 78 were from male brains and 49 were from female brains. Out of the 35 MRI scans, 23 were from male cases and 12 were from female cases. The average length of the frontal horn, body, and inferior horn was found to be greater in MRI scans (34.83 mm, 54.37 mm, and 51.09 mm, respectively) compared to the dissection method in cadavers (30.64 mm, 35.49 mm, and 42.29 mm, respectively). All parts of the lateral ventricle measured in MRI scans were found to have greater lengths in males, although the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: A significant difference was observed when comparing the lengths of the lateral ventricle measured in MRI scans and formalin-fixed cadaveric brain specimens.

Ureteric stenting using a Double-J Stent (DJS) is one of the commonly used urological management techniques to ensure adequate drainage from the renal pelvis to the bladder. However, DJS placements are known to be associated with various consequences and complications. Hereby, the authors present a case of a 46-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department with left flank pain and haematuria that had persisted for one week. The patient had previously undergone ureteric stenting one year prior for the management of a left ureteric calculus. Unfortunately, he had not returned for follow-up due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. X-ray of the Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) and Computed Tomography (CT) of the KUB revealed a missed left ureteral stent that was completely encrusted and associated with the highest stone burden. This stent was causing obstruction of the left renal pelvis-calyceal system and thinning of the left renal parenchyma. The patient also had a co-existing staghorn calculus and urinary tract infection. After completing a course of antibiotics, the encrusted ureteral stent was surgically removed using cystolitholapaxy with pneumatic lithotripsy, ureteral lithoclast, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A new DJS was placed to maintain drainage through the ureter. The patient had no complications during the follow-up period. Authors reported a case of a missed DJS with the highest stone burden within a year to highlight the importance of patient and family education. Authors recommended implementing electronic follow-up systems for patients who undergo ureteric stenting to prevent lost to follow-up, minimise long-term complications, and ensure patient safety.
