Take a look at your body

There are some potential defects, for example while you are been developed inside the womb, your testicles Descending via a potential space into your sc***um.

This space has 2 openings such that if you are doing strainous activities, your intestines can pass through this openings and stays outside the abdominal cavity.

When this happens, when intestines or any organs which is supposed to be inside the abdominal cavity finds its way to the outside presenting as a swelling, this is called hernia.

When you strain to pass urine, stool, blowing trumpet, lifting heaving objects can open this defects and forces your intestines outside.

Sometimes, this intestines goes through the canal meant for the descend of the testicles when you were still in the womb and enters into the sc***um causing a very large sc***um as big as your head.

Sometimes when a surgical site breaks down and the intestines comes out from there it forms an incision hernia.

A woman have a wider pelvis hence she has a wider femoral canal, she then suffers intestines coming through this defect forming a femoral hernia.

The wider her waist the more she is at risk of a femoral hernia especially if she strains, left heavy loads and use her body as if she is a machine.
Sometimes, this swelling becomes painful and will not return back to the abdomen, this is called an obstructive incercerated, or strangulated hernia.

Once an hernia becomes painful, it is an emergency!!!

Sometimes in children, the defects allows fluids from the intestines to fill the sc***um making it larger than normal.

Sometimes your child have a big navel which seldom makes them cry sometimes becomes hardened, and makes grumbling noise, just push it in gently( reduction) this is called umbilical hernia, they usually outgrow it before 2years.

For females children they may have an unusual swelling at the thigh region mostimes at both sides.

The doctors makes an incision, locate that canal, return the intestines back to normal and then closes the defect.

Sometimes the defect is closed using a mesh like a mosquito net 😝

Misconceptions of orthopedic Surgery 101.

Any uncomplicated, uncomimuted fracture if the edges are well apposed healing will take place naturally even if it was done by a Mad man.

Once the edges are placed together, the need to hold them tight so they don't go out of place, once this is achieved healing takes place. Even if it is wooods and tied with a piece of cloth.

You do not need any special skills for an uncomplicated fracture to heal.

However, when the fracture is complicated such that it is comminuted, displaced or open, it requires an advanced skills to put this bones in their normal positions.

When this happens in large bones such as your thigh bones or your leg bones, the surgeons will open your thigh, get to the bones and fixed them together using screws, plates or wires, these are made by titanium materials. This is called open reduction and internal fixation
When this is not well apposed and done surgically.

The limbs become shortened, i.e become shorter, sometimes nerve supply to the muscles could be damaged resulting in weak limbs and even paralysis and may become a deadly limb.

Sometimes due to open fracture and the bone stick out of the flesh and major arteries are injured, there muscles which gets blood supply from that artery end up dead and the unfortunately the limb may be amputated
If the fracture occurs in a joint, this require a high precision surgery to avoid joint deformity.

Uncomplicated fracture if well apposed it will heal, however, if this is not done with precision, the limb will heal but bend.

The orthopedic surgeon ensures the bones are within normal anatomical positions,using advance radiological investigations until he sees callus formation, this doesn't make them callous.

What many people termed amputation accusing Doctors of wanting to amputate their legs is called open reduction and fixation.

Heavy burden of ascaris can cause intestinal obstruction.
These worms are common when you eat vegetables, fruits( wash your fruits and vegetable thoroughly)
which are not properly washed, you swallow their eggs and ofcourse they begin to develop.

Sometimes they migrate to your lungs during development the process is called Larva migration Ascaris pneumonitis and ofcourse your child will start wheezing with dry cough he will be diagnosed of asthma few weeks later after the worms have matured he might just sneeze and worms will fall off his nose.

Sometimes what actually trigger intestinal obstruction from Ascaris is when you use the wrong medications, treating pin worms instead of Ascaris will make these worms form balls and block the intestines, many plants which contains Diethylcarbamazine will provoke Ascaris blocking the intestines in children.

It is a surgical emergency when this obstruction is close to a competent ileocaecal valve( a junction between the large small intestine) its a one way valve the pressure will grow and result in intestinal perforation.

So to prevent this, the surgery is important.

Until you need an emergency surgery in Nigeria that's when you will realised, there is no functional healthcare in Nigeria.

Unfortunately 90 percent of Nigerians who needed an urgent surgery either pay with their lives or suffer long term complications.

For example, a stroke patient who presented to the hospital within 1hour of stroke will be denied tPA because there is either no light, or no CT scan machine or no medications in the pharmacy.

This patient will had to travel distance to do CT scans outside, then the doctors will see and then send them outside again to buy alteplase which might even be weighbill to them.

At the end of the day solution which would have prevented long term complications will be delayed by 2weeks! Thereby irreversible damage has been done.

A stroke patient has just four and half hours to not to be paralysed.

This is the bottle neck why most stroke patient suffers paralysis after stroke in Nigeria.

Invest in healthcare, donate the little you can to your district hospital if you have the means, it may save your loved ones tomorrow.

Imagine an accident victim who is intubated couldn't get an urgent CT brain in a teaching hospital, rather the patient is carried not by ambulance but a relative car to a private facility with CT( an intubated comatose patient will be transported by road 100km to another town for a CT).

If you think the doctors and nurses are the problem of Nigerian healthcare, you aren't ready yet to have a conversation.
