    In a 3 year period 73 cases of perforated peptic ulcers were treated by simple closure. The overall mortality of 3.77 percent is acceptable when compared with other reports. There was a marked male preponderance (11 males: female 1). Biopsy results confirmed the operatiue findings that perforations were seven times more common in gastric peptic ulcers than duodenal ones. The disease affected young adults, the middle aged and elderly, the peak incidence occurring between the fifth and seventh decades oflife. Simple closure was an effective surgical procedure for our group of patients.

    Eight patients underwent major gynaecological operations. Their post-operative analgesia was provided by epidural buprenorphine 0.15 mg and bupivacaine 0.5%. The efficacy and side-effects of this combination were assessed. All patients had satisfactory analgesia ranging in duration from 10 hours to greater than 36 hours after a single dose injection. No significant side-effect was noted.

    The intraoperative localisation of small intestinal bleeding lesions identified at pre-operative angiography has always been difficult, resulting in extensive resections in doubtful cases. We report two patients in whom, at angiography, a small intestinal lesion was noted to be the cause of gastrointestinal haemorrhage. They then underwent superselective mesenteric arterial cannulation at a second angiographic procedure and were operated upon with the angiographic catheter left within the branch responsible for the bleeding. This superselective catheter placement facilitates precise localisation of the bleeding site intraoperatively, enabling limited segmental resection of bowel. Both patients have had no recurrent bleeding episodes.

    Massive ovarian cysts are not commonly encountered. They frequently present a challenge to the gynaecologist who is faced with them. Two cases of successful removal of massive ovarian cysts are presented. Successful management would involve recognition of complications which occur at various steps in the treatment.

    Appendicitis in pregnancy has a well documented high morbidity due to the difficulty in diagnosis. However, synchronous ectopic pregnancy and appendicitis is a rare event. This report describes the case of a 22-year-old lady of Bangladeshi origin who presented with both these conditions. The importance of prompt diagnosis and early surgical intervention, the inherent difficulties in diagnosis and the possible interrelated aetiological factors are discussed.

    This paper describes a case of invasive arnoebiasis in a 72 year old woman. About 1 week prior to admission she had right iliac fossa pain and physical examination suggested perforated appendix or carcinoma of caecum. Laparotomy revealed perforation of caecum. Histopathology of tissue removed showed abundant trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica. After surgery treatment was instituted and patient had an uneventful recovery. KEYWORDS: Rupture of caecum, amoebiasis

    Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary liver tumour of childhood. This is a case report of a one-year-old boy who presented with a one-month history of progressive abdominal distension and weight loss. He was cachexic, anaemic, had gross hepatomegaly and ascites. He had been born prematurely with a birth weight of 1.23 kg, and his developmental milestones were delayed. Ultrasound and CT scan demonstrated a large solid tumour in the left lobe of the liver with a smaller superficial nodule in the right lobe. Serum alpha fetoprotein was significantly raised. A left lobe hepatectomy and complete excision of the right sided nodule was performed. There was no evidence of metastatic disease. Histopathological examination confirmed hepatoblastoma of the fetal type. The patient developed features of intestinal obstruction a few days after surgery and he succumbed ten days after re-laparotomy. The clinical presentation and investigation results in this case are characteristic. Recent reports have suggested a strong relationship between very low birth weight (< 1500gm)/prematurity and hepatoblastoma as is present in this case. Surgery is the mainstay of therapy in hepatoblastoma. A brief review of the literature on this tumour is presented.

    A 47-years-old Malay man presented with unremitting epigastric pain and loss weight for 3 months. At laparotomy, a large tumour mas was found in the liver and a few small nodules in the spleen. Histopathological examination revealed a hepatic angiosarcoma with metastsis to the spleen. He had exposure to formic acid fumes for more than 23 years in his work as a rubber tapper. The various chemical carcinogens that are implicated in this type of tumour are discussed. The possiblity of an association between formic acid fumes and development of angiosarcoma in the liver is highlighted.

    Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is an annoying postoperative complication. Though the diagnosis can be made easily, the role of conservative management in children is controversial. Hence a study was conducted to determine the role of conservative management, and to identify the factors that can predict / influence the outcome of conservative treatment in children with ASBO. Children admitted with ASBO from 1980 to 2002 (22 year period) formed the material for this study. The data was analyzed with respect to the influence of age at the time of presentation, primary disease for which original laparotomy was done, time interval between the primary surgery and the development of ASBO and the number of laparotomies prior to the development of ASBO on the outcome of conservative management. There were 74 episodes of ASBO in 69 children (Five children had two episodes). Out of 74 episodes, 5 episodes (6.75%) needed immediate laparotomy for suspected gangrene. All others were managed conservatively. Of the 69 episodes managed conservatively, 36 responded to conservative treatment (2-5 days) while 33 required subsequent surgical intervention, with 11 of them requiring bowel resection (two for gangrene and 9 for bowel damage during adhesiolysis) and in the rest 22 cases adhesiolysis. A substantial number of children with ASBO respond well to conservative treatment. Majority of the children developed ASBO within three months after the primary laparotomy. Children below the age of one year (at the time of presentation with ASBO) responded poorly to the conservative management. Children who had primary surgery for Hirschsprung's disease and intussusception also appeared to have responded poorly to conservative management, but statistically not significant. Time interval between the primary surgery and the number of laparotomies before the child developed ASBO did not influence the outcome of conservative management.

    Mesocolic hernia is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children. The diagnosis involves a high index of suspicion and prompt intervention to prevent strangulation and a high morbidity. The embryological basis of the condition is of paramount importance to assist the eventual surgical correction.

    Introduction: Operative laparoscopy is the gold standard approach for treatment of tubal pregnancy. Although benefits of this approach are well established, data on its uptake trend in Malaysia is largely unknown. Objective: This study aims to determine the operative laparoscopy uptake in management of tubal pregnancy at a busy tertiary hospital and whether the benefits associated with laparoscopic surgery was achieved. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on all women admitted for tubal pregnancy at Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru, a public tertiary hospital over a period of 12 months. The on-call team was responsible for the surgical approach. Patient’s clinical presentation, operative laparoscopic uptake, factors affecting the choice of approach and duration of hospitalization were analyzed. Results: The tubal pregnancy rate was 7.6 per 1000 deliveries. Twenty- seven of the 138 cases (20%) had hypovolemic shock, requiring urgent laparotomy and were excluded from study. The operative laparoscopy rate for stable tubal pregnancy was only 42.3% (47 of 111 cases). Women managed laparoscopically were associated with a significantly higher pre-operative hemoglobin level, mostly nullipara and had surgery performed during office hours. They waited longer for their surgery but were discharged earlier compared to the laparotomy group. There was no difference in the duration of hospitalization. Conclusions: Less than half of all hemodynamically stable tubal pregnancies in our hospital had operative laparoscopy. The current laparoscopy uptake rate can be further improved.
