Surgical Management of Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas —an Experience from Tertiary Care Centre
AbstractSolid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is uncommon and constitutes to 1 –2% of pancreatic tumours. Owing to its rarity, literature is sparse on its clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes. Our study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained data of patients with histologically proven SPN between January 2012 and December 2019. Patients’ demography, clinical presentation, preoperative imaging, operative details, perioperative outcomes, and long-term follow-up were recorded and analyzed. A total of 14 patients were included in the study, all were females with a median age of 19.5 ye...

Novel Scoring Formula to Predict Survival in Patients of Primary Tongue Cancer Belonging to Tobacco Chewing Population
This study enrolled all patients between 20 and 85 years old with a history of tobacco chewing at least for the last 1 year before diagnosis. Patients should have primary tongue cancer amenable to surgical resection. For survival calculation, date o f diagnosis was taken as reference time. Using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, clinicopathological factors significantly associated with survival were ascertained. Then using logit regression, a scoring system predicting patient survival in years based on clinicopathological risk factors was formu lated and internal validation was done. A total 241 were enrolled and there w...

Standardised Critical Care Strategies Improve Outcomes Following Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in an Indian Peritoneal Malignancy Centre
AbstractCytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a major undertaking with profound peri-operative metabolic and haemodynamic alterations. It requires standardised protocols for immediate postoperative intensive care management to improve patient-related outcomes. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained data-base of 244 patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC between June 2017 and July 2022 in our institute was done. Based on the audit, six strategies were implemented, namely, (1) dynamic multiparameter-based IVF therapy to aggressively correct the hyperlactatemia, (2...

Validation of Urdu Version of the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) Score
The objective of this study  was to validate the Urdu version of the LARS score. The translation process was carried out in a fashion outlined by the original authors of the LARS score after obtaining proper permission. The validation of the translated version included the assessment of its reliability, convergent and discrim inant validities, internal consistency, and confirmatory analyses. A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study with a 95% power of study. The translated questionnaire was initially administered to a random subgroup of patients to verify the adequacy and degree of comprehension of questions. Th ...

Forequarter Amputation for Malignant Tumours: Tale of Sustained Relevance or Telltale Sign of Doom?
AbstractForequarter amputation (interscapulothoracic amputation) includes surgical removal of an upper limb and the shoulder girdle, including the scapula and a portion of the clavicle. We aim to report about our recent experience of having to resort to this mutilating surgery and the clinicopathological variables in that context. The study was done at a cancer centre in Northeast India. It was an ambispective study design, where the patient cohort who underwent FQA was identified retrospectively from the operative register of major surgeries for the time period 1st June 2020 to 31st May 2022 (24 months), and these patient...

Case Report: Primary Ewing Sarcoma of the Penis
ConclusionEES as a subtype of Ewing sarcoma is rare and it can occur in any soft tissue site. Hence, clinicians need to differentiate this entity from other soft tissue sarcomas. Early diagnosis and timely treatment of EES are pivotal for a favourable prognosis due to its aggressive nature. (Source: Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology)

A Review of Core Biopsies in Musculoskeletal Oncology
AbstractBiopsy as a procedure is technically simple but conceptually a challenge. The principles of biopsy have remained more or less the same for 3 decades. With the advent of imaging, hospital facilities, and pathology modalities, we feel it is important that these principles are revisited. Uncertainties are spread across the literature regarding this very important first step in the care of an oncology patient. A surgeon planning the biopsy should be equipped with an MRI for planning. A biopsy has to be considered even for a benign-looking lesion. Even though literature is not clear on what kind of biopsy a surgeon shou...

Endocrine Patients ’ Views on Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy via Vestibular Approach (TOETVA)
AbstractTOETVA ’s adoption has been slow in the Western hemisphere. Our study aimed to evaluate how endocrine patients in the United States perceive the risks and benefits of TOETVA. This was a cross-sectional study where a de novo survey was sent via email to patients seen from 2018 to 2020. The survey asked ho w each of TOETVA’s risks and benefits affect their choice between traditional thyroidectomy (TT) and TOETVA on a scale from 1 (favors TT) to 10 (favors TOETVA). Statistical significance was determined atp <  0.05. Of 422 patients (3.2% response rate), 76.0% were female, 28.9% were non-Whites, 58.3% posse...

Observational Learning in Surgical Skill Development
AbstractObservation plays a key role in the development of surgical skills, as it allows trainees to learn from experts and improve their performance through trial-and-error practice. This process, known as motor learning, involves the creation of new neural pathways that enable precise control of surgical instruments through hand movements. In recent years, there has been a shift towards minimally invasive surgery, which requires surgeons to continually learn new motor skills to control specialized instrumentation. Motor learning can be enhanced through repetition and the observation of expert performances. Observational ...

CT-Based Screening for Pulmonary Metastases in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancers: Diagnostic Accuracy and Cost Comparison with PET-CECT
This study ’s objective was to compare detection rates of radiograph, computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (PET-CECT) for pulmonary metastasis/synchronous primary lung tumors in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) and its association with cli nico-radio-pathological factors. Our retrospective study included 837 HNSCC patients from January 2012 to December 2017. Lung nodules were characterized on CT as benign, indeterminate, and metastatic. The true detection rate and statistical significance of associated risk factors were calculated. Ri sk factors for me...

Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Major Surgery for Cancer with COVID-19 in the Postoperative Period
AbstractThe aim of our study was to report about the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent major surgery for cancer and developed COVID-19 in the postoperative period. A retrospective and observational study was done in the Surgical Oncology Division of a tertiary care cancer hospital in North-East India. The study period was from 1st April 2020 to 31st December 2021. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer who underwent a major surgery and developed COVID-19 in the postoperative period, within the same hospital stay were included in the study. Data was obtained from a prospectively maintained database and case...
