The objective of this study is to determine the satisfaction level with regard to the discharge information in post operative patients. It includes self care, wound care and pain and various aspects of discharge information with demographic variables. A questionnaire was administered in post operative setting after instructions by the professionals on the satisfactory levels taken on Likert scale and reviewed a week later to confirm with the satisfactory levels in the outpatient department. The study was done at Post operative general surgical wards in a private Hospital in Padur, Kelambakkam at Chennai in India. A sample of 102 post operative non complicated general surgical patients was chosen. It is concluded that proper post operative discharge information in turn may reduce incidence of readmissions; the satisfactory levels may be greater when the operating surgeon himself administers discharge information and it helps reduce complications due to lack of self care, wound care and pain care.Keywords

Post burns scar contracture of neck has severe functional and aesthetic considerations. The mortality and morbidity from burns has reduced considerably for the last six decades does not truly reflect whether the victim can lead a normal life, as the head and neck region is an aesthetically demanding area to resurface because of high visibility. The use of supraclavicular perforator artery flap is a well described and established technique. In our study after understanding intricacy of the supraclavicular artery perforator anatomy as it is used as sensate pedicled flap for reconstruction of post burns contracture of neck, we have established that sensation from middle supraclavicular nerve represents an extremely versatile and useful option for resurfacing post burns scar contracture of neck. Anatomical study of 10 fresh cadavers in which 20 transverse cervical vascular system traced up to the thyrocervical trunk and various findings noted and applied clinically on 16 patients, we conclude supraclavicular artery propeller flap provides good aesthetic and functional results.Keywords
