Item The Determinants of Utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria(Biomedical Science Direct Publication, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Panti, Abubakar A.Background and Objective: Malaria remains a disease of public health importance in the developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing the utilization of ITNs among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the UITH, Ilorin. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey of pregnant women carried out in the antenatal clinic of UITH. The subjects were selected at booking and administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Epi-Info software version 3.4.1 of computer. Results: The findings were that 85.2% knew about ITNs and 29.6% did not know where to obtain ITNs. About 74% did not know the cost of ITNs, and 81.5% and 79.8% were of the opinion that ITNs are used to protect against mosquito bites and effective in prevention of malaria respectively. One third (33.7%) of respondents had ever used ITNs. The reasons for non-utilization of ITNs were among others, lack of knowledge, lack of interest, unavailability and use of other methods of prevention. About half of ITNs users used it every day and only 7.9% have been using it for over three years. Statistical analysis showed that marital status, parity, and education had significant influence on utilization of ITNs, where as age and gestational age at booking did not. Conclusion: ITNs coverage is abysmally low among the most vulnerable group. There is need for government to increase enlightenment campaign and intensify advertisement on media that would inform and educate individuals about the usefulness of ITNsItem Female surgical sterilization at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin: 10-year review(Nigerian Medical Association, Anambra state, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Salaudeen, A.G; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Panti, Abubakar A.; Saidu, R.; Balogun, O.RBackground: Given technological advances over the past few decades, female surgical sterilization has become a safe, convenient, easy, and highly effective birth control method for the long term. Objective: This study aims at determining the uptake, indications, timing, surgical technique and complications of voluntary surgical sterilization in Ilorin. Methodology: A retrospective study involving all clients who have undergone female sterilization by mini-laparotomy at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital Family Planning Clinic between January 2002 and December 2011. Clinical data were retrieved from the case notes and the information obtained was analyzed with SPSS version 16 of the computer. All the case notes had adequate information for the study, and none was missing. Results: There were 25,418 deliveries with 205 cases of female surgical sterilizations out of which 95 were through mini-laparotomy, giving an incidence of 8% and 3.7 per 1000 deliveries, respectively. The mean age at sterilization was 38.9years. Grand-multiparity and completed family size were the main indications. Seventy-nine percent of the clients had interval procedure and Pomeroy’s method was used among 70.5% of the clients. Local infiltration was used for most (60%) of the clients. Complication attributable to the procedures occurred in 5.3% of the clients. These include, wound sepsis (2.1%), urinary tract infection (1.05%) and one failed sterilization (1.1%). Conclusion: Concerted efforts at female reproductive health education and counseling will help to dispel some of the rumours and misconceptions associated with the procedure.Item Hysterectomy at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria: a ten year review(SAME ventures, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Aboyeji, P.A.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Jimoh, A.A.GItem An improvised endotrainer for low resource settings(College of Health Sciences, Osun state University, NIgeria, 2013) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Balogun, O.R; Saidu, R.Training in minimal access surgery has always been difficult in developing countries with limited resources, paucity of animal laboratories, unaffordability/unaffordable conventional endotrainer and limited number of trained endoscopic surgeons to help the trainee. Objective: To design an endotrainer for use in resource- poor settings with the aim of domestication of laparoscopic surgery. Materials and Methods: A fabricated endotrainer box with a camera, a bulb for adequate illumination powered by electricity connected to a television was designed at affordable price to improvise for the conventional endotrainer for low resource settings. Results: The fabricated endotrainer model was found to be an effective training tool for improving psychomotor skills and dexterity of movement, especially for suturing in difficult areas. This is comparable to the sophisticated virtual reality simulator. Also, it is far less expensive compared to the expensive virtual reality simulator, thus affordable. Conclusion: It is concluded that this model should be employed by other low resource setting to improve the skills of surgeons in endoscopy surgery and facilitate the training of new hands.Item Missed diagnosed bicornuate unicollis uterus presenting as acute abdomen(West african college of physician and west african college of surgeons, 2014) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Salaudeen, A.G; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Balogun, O.RItem Obstetric Outcome of Grand-multiparous Women in Ilorin, Nigeria.
