Abstract

Ifosfamide, whether in single or combination regimen, have been used in many centers for end-stage cervical cancer cases or recurrent cases. Although it has shown satisfying results, especially in cases of platinum resistance, this drug is related to various side effects, such as encephalopathy. In this study, several cases of acute encephalopathy in cervical cancer patients treated with ifosfamide chemotherapy are described. This study is a retrospective study using all cervical cancer cases receiving ifosfamide chemotherapy in Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from 2015 to 2017. The diagnosis of encephalopathy was established by neurologists. Data obtained from hospital medical records. There were five patients who received the second line ifosfamide-cisplatin chemotherapy regimen at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from 2015 to 2017. They had received first-line chemotherapy in form of 6 series of paclitaxel carboplatin and some of them received additional therapy in the form of external radiation and brachytherapy. Ifosfamide-cisplatin chemotherapy was given from one to six series, depending on the patient's response. Side effects in the form of encephalopathy appeared in four patients, while one patient managed to recover. Ifosfamide encephalopathy is a side effect that needs to be monitored. It has varied symptoms, but the symptoms are generally mild. Analysis of patient risk factors, patient education, and preparation for the management of encephalopathy should be performed in all cases that will receive ifosfamide. Methylene blue and thiamine can be used as a prophylactic and therapeutic choice for this condition.

Abstract

Introduction: Pain reporting is very subjective. Several studies reveal sex, age, education level, and premedication have impacts on postoperative pain intensity. However, other studies report no relationship between these factors to pain intensity. There only a few researches on pain predictors in Bali, so this study conducts to determine relation between sex, age, education level, and premedication towards lower-abdominal postoperative pain intensity at Sanglah Hospital. Patients and Methods: This is an analytic cross-sectional study. The data were collected from medical records of patients after lower abdominal surgery at Sanglah Hospital from January to July 2018 and fit to inclusion criteria and did not suit to exclusion criteria. Data of patients characteristic were collected to indentify their relation toward pain intensity on the first day. Results: There were 99 patients post-lower abdominal surgery included in this study. The mean pain intensity based on sex was 2.83±0.87 for males and 2.98 ± 1.16 for females. Whereas based on ages were 3.04±1.11 for young, 2.90±0.95 for adults, and 2.40±0.96 for elderly. Based on the education level 2.40±1.26 in elementary educated patient, 2.72±1.27 in patients with junior high education, 2.96±1.04 in patients with high school education, and 3.15±0.74 in college patients. The average of pain in patients with premedication is 2.81±0.94 while the patient without premedication is 3.81±1.16. After performing correlation test, only the premedication factor showed a significant impact (p <0.05) to the pain intensity. Conclusion: Therefore, premedication has a greater impact than the other factor toward postoperative pain intensity at Sanglah Hospital.

Abstract

Subdural hemorrhages (SDH) are an important bleeding complication of anticoagulation therapy. It’s increasing in population with the use of total anticoagulant therapy. The gold standard management for SDH is surgery. From the neurosurgery view, we cannot treat SDH and arrhythmia alone with the use of anticoagulant therapy, therefore simultaneously requires good interprofessional collaboration and teamwork. In this study, we report a further case from the neurosurgery field. A fifty-two-year-old man had a history of progressive headache, vomiting, facial asymmetries, and drowsiness resulting in a decrease of consciousness. The patient had history diagnosed with arrhythmia by a cardiologist and routinely consume anticoagulant drug therapy warfarin since three months ago. CT-scan without contrast shows isohyperdens mass with a crescent-shaped appearance at right frontotemporoparietooccipital with thickness >10 mm with midline shift >5 mm to the left. Craniotomy evacuation was performed to completely evacuate the clot instead of burrhole drainage. Further treatment is collaborated with a cardiologist to treat arrhythmia in this patient. General conditions, symptoms, and subdural thickness in this patient decide the management of surgical evacuation. Management of subdural hemorrhage with cardiac complications and the use of anticoagulant therapy requires attention because of the complication may happen. For subacute cases, usually a burrhole drainage is adequate, however, in this patient, we use open craniotomy surgery for CT-scan features consideration. Simultaneously, the anticoagulation therapy was temporarily stopped and going for further echocardiography examination. The patient underwent open craniotomy surgery, followed by good result after surgery. Further follow up to prevent rebleeding is required.

Abstract

Calcified chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) or armoured brain is especially rare with only slight pathophysiology understanding. It happened after head trauma, subdural effusion, meningitis, or as a sequel of VP Shunt. But there is no definite mechanism of neither the pathogenesis nor the management. Because these patients have a thick calcified inner membrane, the optimal surgical procedure for armoured brain’s patient has not been established. Moreover, it is also difficult to obtain good re-expansion of the brain after surgery. A calcified chronic subdural hematoma is less likely happened in adults or elder rather than children or young adults. Management of calcified chronic subdural hematoma is mostly individualized. With seizures, careful monitoring of the anticonvulsant therapy is required. The indications of surgical procedure can be features of raised intracranial pressure, headache, or neurological deterioration. The surgical strategies depend on calcification’s thickness and extension. This study was a preliminary study of Achmad Adam’s research project. This was a descriptive observational research with a case report design. We report a rare case of calcified chronic subdural hematoma in the elderly, presenting with progressive neurological deficit and acute raised intracranial pressure, which was managed surgically to facilitate cerebral re-expansion and inhibit probable brain atrophy. Therefore, authors intended to share a case report regarding a rare chronic subdural hematoma and its management, so hopefully it could be acknowledged by other surgeons as something to learn from.

Abstract

Spinal cord dysfunction caused by a spinal tumor is not always easy to treat since the tumor itself possesses variably etiology and low ability of nerve impairment to recover. The most common extradural tumor is derived from metastases, followed by other pathology such as plasmacytoma, lymphoma, etc. Since histopathologically they may present as round cell tumors, pre-operative data and intraoperative findings may help the clinician to establish appropriate diagnosis. This case report aims to describe the role of posterior spinal surgery and the reasoning of the selected approach in the treatment of spinal metastasis mimicking plasmacytoma in the lower thoracal region. We report 56 years old male who has myelopathy symptoms caused by lower thoracal extradural mass lesion, which histopathological study shows round cell tumor findings. Laminectomy and posterior stabilization were undertaken, and additional rotational flap was made to close sacral decubitus ulcer defect. Axial pain was improved and the patient discharged from the hospital with improved quality of life.

Abstract

Background. To determine risk factors that influence peritonitis event on patients with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) in Sanglah Hospital, thus, we can prevent the occurrence of peritonitis in CRF patients with CAPD. Methods. This is a retrospective cohort study, which was conducted at the Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar from August to September 2016. All data are processed using SPSS 17.0 for Windows, data analysis by using the Kaplan Meier (K-M) curves, hypothesis using the log-rank test, while for the survival is by using the median or mean survival. The significance is determined by the value of p < 0.05 with 95% CI. Results. A total of 78 people (46 men and 32 women) who meet the inclusion criteria of this study. Thirteen people (16.7%) are experiencing peritonitis. K-M Survival Curves between in CRF patients with CAPD, with Age ≥ 50 years (51.36 months survival rates, 95% CI 44.79 until 57.93) with < 50 years (56.1 months Survival rates, 95% CI 51.41 until 60.78) with RR 2.54 log-rank p 0.084. K-M Survival Curves between in CRF patients with CAPD, with DM (mean 52.63 months survival rates, 95% CI 47.21 until 58.06) with No DM (56.88 months survival rates, 95% CI 52.89 until 60.88) with RR 4.16 and 0.037 log-rank p. Conclusion. There is a correlation between DM and the incidence of peritonitis in CRF patients with CAPD at Sanglah Hospital. However, age and education level are not related.

Abstract

Lumbar burst fractures (LBF) is a common trauma case of the spine, recently still a difficult problem to solve. Experts have published the approaches and techniques, but there is still a high incidence of morbidity and mortality, unsatisfactory clinical and radiological results especially in developing countries. The minimal tissue destruction approach with rigid screw-rod construction allowed to lowering surgical costs and earlier patient recovery with successfully clinical and radiological results in the short term follow up.

Abstract

Background: The transient period when the kidney donor was extracted until being anastomosed (total ischemic time) will aggravate many putative molecular ischemic-reperfusion injury mechanisms. Several studies have reported the risk of delayed graft function development, which can be reflected by creatinine serum (Cr) level and resistive index (RI) value. This study aims to determine the correlation of total ischemic time to Cr levels reduction in one-month post-transplantation and RI value. Methods: This was a cross-sectional retrospective study involving subjects who underwent kidney transplantation in Sanglah General Hospital. In this study, the primary parameters were total ischemic time, Cr level, and RI value. The total ischemic time is calculated using a stopwatch intraoperatively. Cr level was obtained from blood examination, and RI value was obtained from the ultrasonography test. Data analysis was analyzed statistically using SPSS 24.0, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: About 17 kidney transplant subjects were included in this study. The mean total ischemic time was 105 minutes and 43 seconds. There was an insignificant negative correlation between Cr level reduction and total ischemia time (r = -0.36; p = 0.89). An analysis of the correlation of total ischemic time and RI value, there was a linear correlation, but statistically insignificant (r = 0.11; p = 0.66). Conclusion: Total ischemic time has a negative correlation with post-transplant creatinine serum level and a positive correlation with the post-transplant resistive index value, but these results are not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: Pelvic floor’s shape and size are suspected of having associations with the occurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, these relationships are not definitive and have never been evaluated. This study aims to identify the relationship between POP and pelvic floor size. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving women with or without POP who underwent gynecologic visits at the outpatient clinic. POP was diagnosed using the POP-Q questionnaire, whereas pelvic floor diameter was measured from the x-ray, comprising anteroposterior (AP), transverse (TS), interspinous (IS), and intertuberous (IT) diameters. Results: The TS and IT diameter of subjects with POP are significantly wider (p<0.001 and p=0.016), on the other hand, the AP and IS diameter were similar among two groups (p=0.36 and p=0.58). The subjects who have TS and IT diameter each above 12.185 and 10.140 cm have a higher risk of POP when compared to those who have TS and IT diameter lesser than the corresponding values (PRTS 3.85, 95% CI1.47-20.11; p<0.001; PRIT 2.49, 95% CI 1.12-5.53; p=0.013), with both, have partial correlation but TS more significant (Lambda 0.7; p-value 0.001 and Lambda 0.4; p-value 0.075). There was a relationship between a pelvic floor with POP. Subjects with POP have wider TS and IT diameters when compared to non-POP subjects. Conclusion: TS and IT diameters above 12.185 cm and 10.140 cm increase the risk of POP.
