SCIENTIFIC WRITE UPS: SATURATED SALT SOLUTION METHOD FOR SURGICAL SKILLS TRAINING – NEED OF THE HOUR? Mani Kathapillai, Swayam Jothi Dorairaj, Dept. of Anatomy, SSSMCRI. Background: Surgical specialty requires adequate exposure of training and enormous practice of surgical skills to become successful in their field.

Surgical postgraduates’ ambition is to get

accommodated into the safe hand of an experienced surgeon and his supporting team for his future bright carrier. Moreover he has to be familiar with day to day trending newer developments and surgical techniques to compete the Milieu exterior in terms of his stability, viability cum surgical practice.

For exclusive surgical training in newer surgical methods, available methodology being Surgical Skills Training (SST) in cadavers. If the cadaver is with life like color, pliability, operability 39

and increased working time no other method could be matched

in terms of the ambience and

medium in which a trainee is exposed 1. Even though live animals and low and high fidelity simulators are used for SST, the overall outcome is in low profile compared to embalmed cadavers with high cost and compromised anatomic fidelity 2.

Materials and Methods: Out of the three types of embalming methods for cadaveric training available namely Formalin Solution method (FAS) 3, Thiels Solution method (TS) 4.and Saturated Salt Solution method (SSS) 5. we have planned to undertake a study outcome of preserving two donated bodies from MGMCRI using SSS of the International Cadaveric Training Centre of our college namely Sri Sathya Sai Medical College Ammapettai under Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University Puducherry with due ethical committee clearance. The outcome will be evaluated in terms of color, pliability of the tissues, range of movements of the joints, cost, bacterial and fungal culture tests and compared with the other methods available in the literature.

Results: The data collected is to be tabulated meticulously under various headings namely color, pliability of the tissues, range of movements, cost and bacterial and fungal cultures tests and analyzed appropriately.

Discussion: Within the available methods of embalming of cadavers for surgical skills training FAS method has its own demerits as unavoidable smell,

stiffness, change of color. TS method is so

cumbersome that it has five steps of preparation namely Stem A, Stem B, Stem C, Stock and Final Solution requires considerable cost instead of giving natural color and Pliability 6. SSS method is a preferred one because of its less cost and giving similar outcome as TS method 7.

Conclusion: We have firsthand experience from our ICTC under the program Advanced Surgical Training and Research Academy (ASTRA) a Knee arthroscopic workshop, as the cadavers were supple, suitable for the arthroscopic procedure. The cadavers were fresh, maintained at −20 degree C, allowed to be used after thawing. There was sloughing of the skin which was unavoidable and with mild unpleasant smell

was managed by room sprays (based on the feedbacks from the

participants).

INTERESTING CASE REPORTS: DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY,VENEREOLOGY & LEPROSY RARE CASE OF CHILDHOOD CUTANEOUS TUBERCULOSIS INTRODUCTION Inspite of the advent of of highly effective antituberculous drugs; Tuberculosis continues to be a significant medical problem in India. India has an incidence of 2.2 million cases of TB out of a global incidence of 9.6 million cases according to recent statistics of WHO. Cutaneous TB constitutes about 1.5% of all extra pulmonary tuberculosis. The prevalence in children varies from 18 to 54% in India. There is no gender predilection and the infection occurs with increased frequency in 10-14 year age group.The Protective efficacy of BCG is debatable and not yet fully defined. Of all the clinical types, scrofuloderma (SFD) is the most commonly encountered variant followed by lupus vulgaris (LV) and tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC). Though childhood cutaneous tuberculosis has an increased frequency in age group of 10 to 14 years, it is rarely seen below 5 years of age. Hence, we present a case of cutaneous Tuberculosis for its rarity of occurring in a 3 year old.

CASE REPORT A three year old, accompanied by his parents came to the Dermatology OPD with presenting complaints of an asymptomatic elevated lesion progressing in size over the medial aspect of right foot adjoining the sole for duration of one year. No history of trauma to the foot, No history of pain 41

or discharge from the lesion. No history of preceding systemic symptoms prior to the onset of lesion. No history of systemic illness or previous exposure to Tuberculosis. No history Tuberculosis in the family. Parents give history of children being bare foot while playing outside. Immunization history is up to date. No recent history of upper respiratory tract infection or treatment for the cutaneous lesions. On examination of the patient with the parents consent; patient was conscious oriented, Afebrile, No pallor, Icterus, lymphadenopathy or edema. Local examination of the skin; A single hyperkeratotic irregular shaped scaly plaque measuring 5 X 3cm present over the right foot adjoining the sole. Lesion shows healing at one end and progression over the other areas. No other skin lesions elsewhere.

Differential diagnosis of Lupus Vulgaris, Mosaic wart, Tuberculosis

veruccosa cutis and hyperkeratotic Eczema was postulated. Investigations such as Complete blood count (CBC), liver function test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), mantoux test, X-ray of chest, ultrasound of the abdomen and biopsy of the lesion were done. ESR and mantoux were elevated.

The mantoux test was performed using 1 tuberculin unit (0.02 mg of purified protein derivative) and read at 72 hours. Induration of more than 10 mm was suggestive of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The skin biopsy showed markedly hyperkeratotic, hyperplastic and acanthotic squamous epithelium. The upper dermis was diffusely infiltrated by lymphocytes and plasmocytes amidst which are seen in a few scattered granulomas formed of epithelial cells. Some of the granulomas contained Langhan’s giant cells and foreign body gaint cells. The features were consistent with Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis.

42

In view of the biopsy report, after obtaining Pulmonologist and Ophthalmologist opinion; the patient was intitiated on Category I ATT paediatric kit which consists of Tab. Isoniazid 10mg/kg, Tab. Rifampicin 15mg/kg, Tab. Pyrazinamide 35mg/kg and Tab. Ethambutol 20mg/kg per day for two months intensive phase and adviced to continue Tab Isoniazid and Tab Rifampicin for four months as a continuation phase.

Upon follow –up of the patient after two months, the cutaneous lesions showed improvement with no new lesions, hence the family was advised to continue ATT for the child and review on monthly basis.

Discussion Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis 43

This form of the disease, also known as warty TB, occurs due to exogenous inoculation of tubercle bacilli in a previously sensitized individual with good immunity. Clinically, it presents as verrucous papules and plaques, with the surface showing fissures or clefts that may extrude pus and, often, perilesional erythema. It may be difficult to differentiate it from hypertrophic LV as well as verruca vulgaris or common warts. While tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) was once seen in 65.5% of the childhood cases from Hongkong, it is an uncommon form of the disease in Indian children. Although Arya et al. have reported TBVC in 15% of their patients (3/20), most of the other series from India have reported it to contribute to <4.5% of all cases of pediatric skin TB. Exposed body parts, in particular the lower limbs, are the most common site for warty TB in children, possibly due to inoculation by unnoticed trauma. In contrast to SFD and LV, lymphadenopathy is not seen. Histology shows hypertrophic changes like pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, the presence of acute infiltrate in the upper dermis and characteristic tuberculoid granulomas in the mid dermis. AFB are rarely demonstrated.

Diagnosis - The diagnosis of cutaneous TB is based on the characteristic clinical morphology of the lesions as well as laboratory tests. Common clinical differential diagnoses of skin TB include cutaneous leishmaniasis, leprosy, atypical mycobacterial infections, fungal infections like chromomycosis and sporotrichosis and sarcoidosis. Many of these conditions also show granulomas on histology and thus definitive diagnosis relies on the direct demonstration of tubercle AFB on stained smears or biopsies, isolation by culture or detection by PCR and related molecular techniques.

Histopathology The hallmark of cutaneous TB histology is the presence of characteristic tubercular granulomas with epithelioid cells, Langhans giant cells and lymphocytes. However, characteristics such as the distribution of granulomas in the dermis, nature of cellular infiltrate, presence of necrosis and certain specific epidermal changes aid in classifying and diagnosing the variants of skin TB, which have been discussed before (vide supra). But, the difficulty of histological interpretation in TB is well recognized as many other diseases can produce a tuberculoid granuloma. A clinicohistological concordance was observed in 64-85.6% of the cases of childhood cutaneous TB Classical tubercular histology is seen more often in lesions of LV compared with SFD. Histopathology is especially useful for diagnosis of tuberculids where bacilli cannot be isolated by culture or demonstrated by AFB staining.

Mantoux test 44

The Mantoux or tuberculin test is a good screening test to detect the presence or absence of tubercular infection. It is performed by injecting 0.1 ml (5 TU) of the purified protein derivative (PPD) on the volar surface of the forearm using a 27-gauge needle and measuring the induration after 48-72 h. Induration of 10 mm or more is considered significant, but indicates infection and not necessarily the disease. False-positive results may occur due to exposure to environmental mycobacteria as well as within 1 year of BCG vaccination. False-negative reactions may also be seen in patients with disseminated infection like miliary TB or in immunosuppressed states like severe malnutrition in children or HIV infection. Pandhi et al. reported 66 of 68 children (97.1%) with positive Mantoux test, with induration ranging from 10 to 32 mm. Kumar et al. observed that of their children with cutaneous TB, 91.8% patients with localized disease had positive Mantoux test as against only 50% of the cases with disseminated disease. Severe reactions resulting in vesiculation or ulceration have also been observed in children. Tuberculin test is more commonly positive in tuberculids, as reported in all cases of LS by Singal et al.
