Abstracts of the 44<sup>th</sup> annual academic sessions – 2015 of the College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka and joint meeting with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh “The spirit of teamwork”

Highlights

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND) part of diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in breast cancer surgery in the Northern Province
Endoscopic drainage was a successful definitive treatment in 60 (88%).Infected pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) were associated with poorer outcome [odds ratio (OR) 0.016; 95% CI 0.001-0.037], placement of endoscopic naso-cystic drainage (ENCD) lead to better results [OR 11.85; 95% CI 1.03- 135.95]
According to international guidelines, removal of at least 10 lymph nodes (LNs) is considered adequate for accurate staging and good clearance. [1,2]

Summary

Introduction

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND) part of diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in breast cancer surgery in the Northern Province. The aim of the study was to compare breast conservation surgeries (BCS) and mastectomies in a general surgical unit at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka. We studied the knowledge of prehospital spinal care in a cohort of patients with spinal cord injury attending to the orthopaedic clinic of national hospital of Sri Lanka. Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is a common paediatric surgical/ urological condition encountered by the paediatric surgeon It has a wide array of presentations and some patients present with resultant long term complications. Minimal access thoracic surgery obviates the need for thoracotomy which has a high postoperative complication rate (15-37%) This retrospective descriptive study analyses the post operative analgesic requirement, need for pulmonary drainage and length of hospital stay in a patient group, undergone diagnostic thoracoscopy in a tertiary unit. Studying about epidemiology, timing of treatment, mode of management and observed postoperative outcome and complications are useful in assessing the current management of ankle fractures
