ABSTRACT
Four hundred and fifty cases were operated for vasectomy by pre-pubic approach. The relative fixity of vas at this place made this approach easier than conventional scrotal approach. Mean healing duration was 6.06 days. This approach leaves the scrotum free, needs no scrotal support and scrotum is not involved in hematoma and inflammatory complications. Thus the pre-pubic approach for vasectomy provides a superior and beneficial alternative to conventional scrotal approach.

Forty-nine cases of gastroduodenal perforation were subjected to new air insufflation test. The clinical and radiological criteria of air insufflation test were applied to every patient of this study. Forty-seven cases (95.9%) were positive to the new test whereas 2 negative cases turned out to be old sealing perforation. The new test is highly useful in preoperative detection of site of perforation in perforative peritonitis.

The effect of incision drainage and primary closure on 50 cases (age ranging from 16 to 35 years) of lactational breast abscess was studied. The mean healing time was 7.12 days. Failure rate was 6%. It is concluded that primary closure technique is safe, economical and highly beneficial in comparison to conventional open drainage pack dressing method. A close and watchful postoperative care along with other factors is mandatory for the success.
