Its incidence rate significantly increases per year especially in elderly people. Several modalities are available for BCC treatment but surgery is still considered as the gold standard. Oxygen is mandatory for almost all wound healing processes, and oxygen substitution can be delivered in the form of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. We presented a 70 years old woman with a major complaint of a tumor located in the left infrapalpebral region, below the left lower lash line with 5 years of evolution. Patient had clinical presentation of solid nodular basal cell carcinoma which was the most common clinical subtype. Patient was diagnosed as having BCC based on history taking, clinical findings, and histopathological examination. Surgical wide excision, skin flap, and HBO as the adjunctive therapy were performed on this patient. With these techniques, healing time was reduced, complications rates were low, and cosmetic outcome was much better. In conclusion, closing defects of BCC case with surgical wide excision and flap yields a remarkable outcome and an adjunctive HBO therapy after surgery optimizes the oxygenation, thus, the healing potential of tissue prior to surgery, and accelerates wound healing post operatively. A good result with short healing duration was observed.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>basal cell carcinoma; hyperbaric oxygen therapy; flap; wound healing</p> Yulius A. M. Chietra Mendy J.

D. Kandou Manado Periode 2020-2022 https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/msj/article/view/53689 <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Dengue infection remains as a significant global health issue due to its rapid spread and increasing number of cases each year. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and its severity, dengue shock syndrome (DSS), can be caused by various factors, namely the host, behavior, environment, vectors, health services, and agents. This study aimed to determine the factors that influenced the trend of incidence and severity of DHF at Prof. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. This was a descriptive and analytical study with a cross sectional design. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation with a negative direction between air temperature and DHF incidence rate (p = 0.029, r = -0.363). Air humidity and rainfall did not have a significant relationship with DHF incidence. Based on the place of residence, a significant association was found with the severity of DHF (p=&lt;0.001, OR=234.103). No significant association was found between economic level and the severity of the disease. In conclusion, there are significant relationships between air temperature and the incidence of DHF, and between the place of residence and the severity of the disease. It is expected that the government and the community can include these factors as indicators in efforts to prevent and control DHF and its severity.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: dengue hemorrhagic fever; dengue shock syndrome; risk factors; children</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong>: Infeksi dengue masih menjadi salah satu isu kesehatan global yang signifikan oleh karena penyebarannya yang cepat serta peningkatan jumlah kasus tiap tahunnya. Demam berdarah dengue (DBD) dan keparahannya yakni <em>dengue shock syndrome</em> (DSS) dapat diakibatkan oleh berbagai faktor, yakni faktor pejamu, perilaku, lingkungan, vektor, pelayanan kesehatan, dan agen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran dari faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi tren angka kejadian dan keparahan DBD di RSUP Prof. R. D. Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang.

This study aimed to determine the impact of calorie intake on these risk factors in young adults working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This experimental study employed a one-group pre- and post-test design conducted over two months. Respondents' daily physical activities were recorded using Bouchard's questionnaire, and a food record method was used to document all foods consumed over three days. The study followed up with respondents for two months. The results indicated that respondents with good physical activity levels experienced a decrease in BMI: 53.3% of men and 37.5% of women. Adequate calorie intake also contributed to a decrease in BMI, with 53.3% of men and 57.1% of women showing reductions. However, the t-test showed p-values &gt;0.05 for the correlations between calorie intake and BMI, WC, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In conclusion, there was no significant impact of calorie intake on risk factors for CVD, such as obesity and high blood pressure. Nonetheless, it was observed that appropriate calorie intake could potentially prevent the increase of these risk factors.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: calorie intake; cardiovascular disease; COVID-19 pandemic</p> Diniwati Mukhtar Karina A.

The occurrence of TdP is associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG), which is often found in bradycardia patients. We reported an 86-year-old female who experienced recurrent fainting episodes in the past month. From the ECG we recorded sinus rhythm was bradycardia with a heart rate of 43 bpm with a high degree of atrioventricular block, with a prolongation of the QT interval reaching 640 milliseconds. The patient was not taking any medications known to have the effect of prolonging the QT interval. The patient underwent a series of examination. Blood and electrolyte tests were within normal limit. Echocardiography examination showed good heart pump function and no structural abnormalities were found. The 24-hour Holter examination recorded a TdP rhythm with a heart rate of 180 bpm which was spontaneos termination. The patient underwent a permanent dual chamber pacemaker implantation. At post-insertion follow-up, the patient never experienced another fainting episode. In conclusion, bradycardia on ECG is known to prolong the QT interval thereby predisposing to <em>torsades de pointes</em>. Implantation of a permanent pacemaker was done and was successful in treating bradycardia, shortening the QT interval thereby suppressing the occurrence of <em>torsades de pointes</em>.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: torsades de pointes; bradycardia; atrioventricular block</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak: </strong><em>Torsades de pointes</em> (TdP) merupakan takiaritmia fatal yang berpotensi berdegenerasi menjadi fibrilasi ventrikel. Kejadian TdP dikaitkan dengan pemanjangan interval QT pada elektrokardiogram (EKG), yang seringkali dijumpai pada pasien bradikardia. Kami melaporkan kasus seorang pasien wanita berusia 86 tahun yang mengalami episode pingsan berulang dalam satu bulan terakhir. Dari gambaran EKG didapatkan irama sinus bradikardia dengan laju jantung 43x per menit dengan blok atrioventrikular derajat tinggi, dengan pemanjangan interval QT mencapai 640 milidetik. Pasien tidak mengonsumsi obat-obatan yang diketahui memiliki efek memperpanjang interval QT. Pasien menjalani serangkaian penunjang. Pemeriksaan darah dan elektrolit hasilnya normal. Pemeriksaan ekokardiografi menunjukkan fungsi pompa jantung baik dan tidak ditemukan adanya abnormalitas struktur jantung. Pemeriksaan Holter 24 jam berhasil merekam irama TdP dengan laju jantung 180x per menit yang mengalami terminasi spontan. Pada pasien dilakukan pemasangan alat pacu jantung permanen <em>dual chamber</em>. Pada <em>follow up</em> paska pemasangan, pasien tidak pernah mengalami episode pingsan lagi. Simpulan kasus ini ialah bradikardia pada elektrokardiogram diketahui memperpanjang interval QT sehingga memredisposisi terjadinya TdP. Pemasangan alat pacu jantung permanen pada pasien dipilih sebagai langkah tatalaksana, dan terbukti berhasil mengatasi bradikardia, memperpendek interval QT sehingga mensupresi terjadinya <em>torsades de pointes</em>.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci: </strong><em>torsades de pointes</em>; bradikardia; blok atrioventrikular</p> James C.

The gold standard in diagnosing UTI is bacterial count. This study aimed to determine the effects of temperature and storage time for urine of patients with UTI on the number and the species of bacteria, which is important in supporting the diagnosis of UTI. This was a laboratory and experimental study using accidental sampling techniques in accordance with the inclusion criteria. The results showed that at room temperature (20-25<sup>o</sup>C) the number of bacteria increased faster and was higher than the number of bacteria stored at cold temperature (2-8<sup>o</sup>C). The number of bacterial colonies was the highest at storage time of 5 hours (5.3x10<sup>4</sup> CFU/ml) meanwhile the lowest was in fresh urine (3.4 x 10<sup>4</sup> CFU/ml). The Friedman test showed that there was an effect of temperature and storage time for urine of patients with UTI on the number of bacteria with a sig p-value of 0.001 (p&lt;0.05).

Hepatitis B virus infection is a risk factor found in 50% of subjects, while the remaining 50% have non-hepatitis B and non-hepatitis C etiologies. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) are the most widely used biological marker and disease staging system. This study aimed to determine the relationship between AFP levels and BCLC stages in HCC patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. This was a retrospective and analytical study with a cross-sectional approach using patient medical records as samples. The results showed a total of 56 HCC patients, consisting of 43 males and 13 females, obtained using consecutive sampling techniques. Each variable was categorized into two groups: ≤200 ng/ml and &gt;200 ng/ml for AFP; and operable (BCLC 0/A) and non-operable (BCLC B/C/D) for BCLC staging. There were two patients (3.6%) in the operable category and 54 patients (96.4%) in the non-operable category. Fisher's exact test results showed no significant relationship between AFP levels and disease severity in HCC patients (p=0.228). In conclusion, there is no significant relationship between alpha-fetoprotein levels and disease severity in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: alpha-fetoprotein levels; hepatocellular carcinoma; BCLC staging</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Karsinoma hepatoseluler (KHS) merupakan tumor primer pada hati yang paling umum terjadi dan menyandang peringkat ke-3 sebagai penyumbang angka kematian tertinggi yang disebabkan oleh kanker.

Hemodialysis accesses are prone to failure due to thrombosis and stenosis over the anastomosis or outflow vein. This study aimed to obtain the outcomes of endovascular intervention for salvage of failing hemodialysis access. This was a retrospective and descriptibe study. Data were collected from all patients who underwent endovascular intervention for failing hemodialysis access starting from January 2021 – June 2023 at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. The results showed that 136 subjects were included in this study. The highest comorbidities were found in patients with a history of hypertension (52.9%). The most common arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) hemodialysis access was at the brachiocephalic location (75.7%). The most frequent cause of access dysfunction was simple stenosis (64.7%). Pseudoaneurysm was occurred in two subjects (1.4%), and ruptured outflow vein was occurred in one subject (0.7%). The patency rate at three months was 77.6%, but the primary patency rate would decrease to less than 50% over six months. Endovascular intervention in the form of balloon angioplasty is currently the main line of choice in dealing with problematic AVFs in principle what is being done is to intraluminaly dilate the narrowed or blocked lumen of the outflow vein. The complication rate from the procedure performed was 2.2% where in two patients a pseudoaneurysm occurred at the puncture site, namely the brachial artery and the radial artery then another patient had rupture of the AVFs outflow vein, therefore, an additional procedure was performed to close the AVFs with ligation. In conclusion, endovascular intervention for failing hemodialysis access has good results, but the primary patency rate will decrease to less than 50% over six months.</p> <p><strong>Key</strong><strong>w</strong><strong>ord</strong><strong>s</strong><strong>: </strong>chronic kidney disease; hemodialysis access; endovascular intervention</p> Billy Karundeng Djony Tjandra Richard Sumangkut Michael D.

Nasal trauma, if not treated properly, can lead to functional and esthetic deformities. A full-thickness defect in dorsum nasal and septal area, caused by a traffic accident, can present a challenging reconstruction scenario. We present a case of a 21-year-old male with full-thickness defect in the dorsum nasal and septal area due to a traffic accident. The septal hinge flap is a common option for cartilage and lining reconstruction, but it may not always be available. Considering the complexity of the defect, we decided to perform a reconstruction using an auricular chondrocutaneous graft. A series of post-operative follow-ups were carried out from two months to four months postoperatively to evaluate in depth the function and aesthetic aspects of the patient. The results of the evaluation conducted showed that the patient had achieved a high level of satisfaction related to the restoration of his function and aesthetic appearance. This evaluation was essential to ensure that the interventions carried out had been functionally and aesthetically successful.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: nasal fracture; nasal reconstruction; full-thickness graft; auricular graft; septal hinge flap</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Hidung merupakan<strong> s</strong>truktur penting pada wajah karena letaknya di tengah dan menonjol, namun, struktur ini juga lemah dan rentan terhadap trauma.

Kami menyajikan laporan kasus seorang laki-laki berusia 21 tahun dengan defek ketebalan penuh pada area dorsum nasal dan septum akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas. <em>Septal hinge flap</em> ialah pilihan umum untuk rekonstruksi tulang rawan dan lapisannya, tetapi mungkin tidak selalu tersedia. Dengan mempertimbangkan kompleksitas defek tersebut, diputuskan untuk melakukan rekonstruksi menggunakan cangkok aurikular kondrokutaneus. Serangkaian tindak lanjut pasca-operasi dilakukan sejak dua bulan hingga empat bulan pasca operasi untuk mengevaluasi secara mendalam aspek fungsi serta estetik pada pasien. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa pasien telah mencapai tingkat kepuasan tinggi terkait dengan pemulihan fungsi dan penampilan estetiknya.

Level of CD4 influence the incidence of opportunistic infections. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between immunological status and HIV clinical stage. This was an descriptive and analytical study with a cross-sectional design using 73 medical records of HIV patients who sought treatment at one of the hospitals in Jakarta between January 2022 and May 2023. Data on sex, body mass index, CD4 levels, clinical stage, and opportunistic infections were collected from medical records. The sample selection technique was consecutive non-random sampling. HIV patients that received antiretroviral therapy (ARV) were included in this study. The chi-square test was used for analysis with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the majority subjects were male (63.0%), underweight (49.3%), CD4 &lt;200 cells/mm3 (46.6%), had opportunistic infection of pulmonary TB (23.3%), and clinical stage III (45.2%). The chi-square test obtained a p-value of &lt;0.001 for the relation between CD4 level and clinical stage of HIV. In conclusion, immunological status based on CD4 levels can be one of the factors used to assess the severity of HIV disease clinically in patients receiving ARV therapy.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: human immunodeficiency virus; CD4; clinical stage; opportunistic infection</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong>: Infeksi<em> Human Immunodeficiency Virus</em> (HIV) masih cukup banyak ditemukan di Indonesia. Prognosis HIV dipengaruhi oleh stadium klinis HIV. Infeksi oportunistik dinilai dalam penentuan stadium klinis HIV. Kejadian dan jenis infeksi oportunistik tergantung pada kadar CD4. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan status imunologis dengan stadium klinis pada pasien HIV. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang dengan menggunakan 73 rekam medis pasien HIV yang berobat di salah satu RSUD di Jakarta antara Januari 2022 - Mei 2023.

Gynecological surgery in particular has a risk of urinary tract injury due to the close anatomy of the urinary tract and the reproductive system in women. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between pre-operative ureteral catheter use and complications of intraoperative ureteral and bladder trauma in gynaecologic oncology patients undergoing major surgical procedures. This study used cohort data of patients undergoing major surgical procedures at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, recorded in medical records from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. The bivariate test showed that patients who received pre-operative ureteral catheter insertion had fewer urological trauma events (4.5%) compared to patients who did not get pre-operative ureteral catheter (95.5%). The relations between pre-operative ureteral catheters and the incidence of urological trauma was found to be statistically significant with a p-value of 0.019 and the history of chemotherapy had a p-value of 0.036, meanwhile the relations with other variables showed p-values of &gt;0.05. Therefore, the use of pre-operative catheters could not significantly eliminate the occurrence of ureteral trauma because many of the confounding factors were accompanied by several other conditions that were also studied in the multivariate analysis. In conclusion, there is no association between the use of pre-operative ureteral catheters and complications of intraoperative ureteral trauma in gynecologic oncology patients undergoing major surgical procedures. Future studies using samples from more sources are expected to assess the relation between pre-operative ureteral catheter use and the incidence of urological trauma more accurately, and to assess the ease of use of pre-operative ureteral catheter.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>ureteral catheter; ureteral trauma; gynaecologic oncology patients</p> Bintang Sinurat Christof Toreh Ari Astram Eko Arianto Fima Langi Copyright (c) 2024 Bintang Sinurat, Christof Toreh, Ari Astram, Eko Arianto, Fima Langi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-08-07 2024-08-07 7 1 141 148 10.35790/msj.v7i1.56265 Identifikasi Pola Bakteri dan Uji Sensitivitas Antibiotik di Kamar Bersalin Rumah Sakit Umum GMIM Pancaran Kasih Manado https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/msj/article/view/55297 <p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Delivery room of Rumah Sakit Umum (RSU) GMIM Pancaran Kasih Manado is one of the delivery service centers in Manado which has the potential to be a place of transmission of nosocomial infections due to bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

Kandou Hospital: A Rare Case Report https://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/v3/index.php/msj/article/view/57283 <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital disorder in which a malformed fetus-like structure is inside the actual body of the fetus. We reported a 3-day old female baby, born through sectio caesaria with a lump on her right abdomen. On physical examination, a rounded mass of 8x8 cm was palpable in the right hypochondrium. CT-scan of the abdomen with contrast revealed a heterogeneous mass of mixed cystic and solid accompanied by calcification in the form of vertebrae and extremities in the upper right abdomen (size ±5,6 x 6 x 6 cm). The mass appeared to be abutting with the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and right kidney by pressing the intestinal loops to the left. A laparotomy was performed with extensive tumor excision, and a malformed fetus-shaped mass with good differentiation characterized by a hand-like structure, fairly complete toes and skin on its surface was found. The tumor was diagnosed as a FIF since the benchmark for diagnosing FIF was the shape of a fetus-like mass, a mature bone structure with components such as cranium, vertebrae, pelvis, extremities and even fingers as found in this patient. The patient was carried out a 5-day treatment after surgery, and then was referred to the Pediatric Surgery polyclinic for a follow-up on the histopathological result to confirm the diagnosis but the patient did not come for further treatment.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: fetus in fetu; fetal tumor; aberrant monozygotic twinning; CT-scan abdomen</p> Harsali F.

This study aimed to compare scoring systems in predicting stone-free rate (SFR) in RIRS patients This was an observational and analytical study with a retrospective cohort design. Samples were obtained from medical records of Dr. J. H. Awaloei Hospital from March 2022 to October 2023. This study only analyzed three scoring systems: Guy's Stone Score (GSS), Resorlu-Unsal Stone Score (RUSS), and Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity Score (S-ReSC). The results obtained 219 patients with an average age of 55 years, GSS grade I in 108 patients, and grade II in 50 patients. Related to RUSS score, 43 patients got a score of 1, 108 got a score of 2, and 60 got a score of 60. Meanwhile, S-ReSC score was at a high level with a percentage of 65.3%, 20.4% at the medium level, and 14.4% at the low level. Moreover, GSS sensitivity 76%, specificity 75%, PPV 93.2%, NPV 41.1%, AUC 75%; RUSS score sensitivity 75.4%, specificity 62.2%, PPV 90%, NPV 36.2%, AUC 70%; S-ReSC score sensitivity 71%, specificity 77.5%, PPV 93.4%, NPV 37.3%, AUC 72%. In conclusion, Guy's Stone Score, Resorlu-Unsal Stone Score, and Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity Score have similar abilities in predicting stone-free rate.

It is also called a benign mixed tumor (BMT) because it has both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. This type of tumor is the most frequent parotid gland tumor, making up about 66% of all such tumors in parotid glands. We reported a case of 12-year-old male patient with a lump on his parotid gland, measured 7x3x3cm at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. CT Scan results of neck region of the patient revealed that there was a mass in the right side <em>colli</em> area and right frontal sinusitis A histopathological examination of the tumor tissue showed that it was encapsulated by connective tissue and composed of proliferating epithelial and myoepithelial tumor cells, some with clear nuclei, arranged in solid and microcystic patterns, and interspersed with fibromyxoid stroma. The patient was diagnosed as parotid gland adenoma, therefore, a parotidectomy was performed on him. He was discharged home and advised to return for a check-up one week later to remove the stitches. At the two-month follow-up visit, he was stable and did not require any additional therapy. In conclusion, a parotidectomy shows good result in the patient with parotid gland adenoma. However, due to the recurrence rate of parotid gland malignancies, several oncologists prefer to observe the patient periodically trough follow up at policlinic. Early detection and right management are required to achieve the best prognosis.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>pleomorphic adenoma; pediatric patient; parotid gland</p> Vincent Suryoprabowo Harsali F.

Anemia merupakan gangguan hematologi yang sering terjadi pada penyandang DMT2 yang disebabkan oleh komplikasi penyakit sekunder, seperti gangguan fungsi ginjal. Potensi anemia pada pasien DMT2 dapat memperburuk komplikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil penyandang DMT2 disertai anemia di Poli Endokrin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou periode September–November 2023. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif prospektif dengan desain potong lintang, menggunakan data rekam medis Poli Endokrin. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa pasien DMT2 disertai anemia di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou (n=40), didominasi oleh perempuan (55%) dan kelompok usia 45-60 tahun (62,5%). Rerata nilai HbA1c 8,683, Hb 9,583, kreatinin 3,080, dan eLFG 23,38. Klasifikasi jenis anemia berdasarkan morfologi eritrosit didominasi oleh jenis anemia hipokrom mikrositik yang dialami oleh perempuan (47,5%) dan pada kelompok usia 45-60 tahun (55%). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah mayoritas pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 disertai anemia terjadi pada perempuan dan kelompok usia 45-60 tahun yang mengalami anemia hipokrom mikrositik.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci:</strong> diabetes melitus tipe 2; anemia; HbA1c; laju filtrasi glomerulus</p> Gardenia G.

One of the most effective types of surgery to perform on hip OA is total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine the functional results of total hip arthroplasty surgery in cases of hip arthritis at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado by using telemedicine. This was a descriptive study interviewing patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty in the period of January-November 2023 via video call. The Harris hip score (HHS) was measured before and after THA. The results showed that from five patients who underwent HHS evaluation before THA, all of them had poor scores (100%). Meanwhile, the HHS after THA showed that one patient had a poor score (20%), one patient had a fairly good score (20%), two patients had good scores (40%), and one patient had a very good score (20%), indicating increased HHS after THA in all patients. In conclusion, total hip arthroplasty is effective in hip arthritis patients. The telemedicine can be an alternative for evaluating patients with hip osteoarthritis after total hip arthroplasy who are difficult to be reached.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: hip osteoarthritis; Harris hip score; total hip arthroplasty; telemedicine</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Artritis yang paling umum terjadi pada sendi pinggul diakibatkan oleh keausan sendi atau disebut osteoartritis (OA). Salah satu jenis operasi yang paling efektif untuk OA pinggul ialah <em>total hip arthroplasty</em> (THA). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil fungsional pembedahan THA pada kasus OA pinggul di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado menggunakan <em>telemedicine</em>. Jenis penelitian ini ialah deskriptif dengan mewawancarai pasien yang dilakukan <em>total hip arthroplasty</em> periode Januari-November 2023 via panggilan video. Nilai <em>Harris hip score</em> (HHS) diukur sebelum dan setelah dilakukan THA. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa dari lima pasien yang dilakukan evaluasi HHS sebelum dilakukan THA, didapatkan semuanya memiliki skor kurang baik (100%). Setelah dilakukan THA dan dievaluasi menggunakan HHS didapatkan satu orang memiliki skor kurang baik (20%), satu orang memiliki skor cukup baik (20%), dua orang memiliki skor baik (40%), dan satu orang memiliki skor baik sekali (20%). Dengan kata lain terdapat peningkatan skor HHS setelah dilakukan THA pada semua pasien. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah <em>total hip arthroplasty </em>efektif dilakukan pada pasien dengan osteoartritis pinggul. Penggunaan <em>telemedicine</em> dapat menjadi alternatif untuk mengevaluasi pasien osteoartritis pinggul setelah <em>total hip arthroplasty</em> yang memiliki keterbatasan jarak untuk dijangkau.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci</strong>: osteoartritis pinggul; <em>Harris hip score</em>;<em> total hip arthroplasty</em>; <em>telemedicine</em></p> Stefan A.
