Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: To analyse the day care urologic surgery cases in various paediatric surgical units in tertiary care centers in Bhopal. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study; we reviewed the data of all urologic patients treated at two day case Paediatric surgery units between June 2012 to June 2018. The parameters studied were: age, type of surgery/procedure, and complications. Results: In total, 200 urological cases were performed in the major operating theatre on day case basis. 102 (51.0%) patients were children aged between 4-6 years of age. Most of the cases in this series were males. Phimosis 62 (31%) was the most common surgical condition treated surgically, followed by congenital hernia 44 (22%) and hydrocele 42 (21%). Local oedema (05%) was the commonest complication observed in these patients. Conclusion: The experience and outcome of the day case surgeries in this study shows encouraging results. Pediatric day care anesthesia and surgery is safe and practically helpful. Patient selection criteria, good setup, and adequate post operative care are needed for good results.
