Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice for the gall bladder stone. With increasing experience, surgeon has started to take more difficult cases which were considered relative contra indications for laparoscopic removal of gall bladder few years back.
We conducted this study at our hospital and included all laparoscopic cholecystectomy done from May'08 to January'10. Total time taken in surgery, conversion rate and complication rate were analysed. Factors making laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed. We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy when we found -dense fibrotic adhesions in and around Callot's triangle, gangrenous gall bladder, empyma, large stone impacted at gall bladder neck, contracted gall bladder, Mirrizi's syndrome, h/o biliary pancreatitis, CBD stones, acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
Out of 206 cases done during above period, 56 cases were considered difficult. Only two cases were converted to open.
With growing experience and technical advancement surgery can be completed in most of the difficult cases. This is important because recently it is shown in literature that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with less morbidity than open method irrespective of duration of the surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery has undergone rapid development in recent years. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was first performed in 1985. Since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy into general practice in 1990, it has rapidly become the dominant procedure for gallbladder surgery.
Laparoscopic colon resections are being performed with increasing frequency all over the world. However, the use of minimal access surgery in colorectal surgery has lagged behind its application in other surgical fields.
Over the last two decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy
has replaced open cholecystectomy as the standard surgical procedure for majority of patients of gall stone disease. Till 1999, laparoscopic Cholecystectomy was being performed using multiple ports usually 3 or 4 ports.
Intensive desire of surgeon to reduce the number of ports led invention of two port cholecystectomy and then finally
single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) .
Introduction: Endoscopic RetrogradeCholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been advocated as a less invasive therapeutic
intervention for the diagnosis and management of various pancreaticobiliary diseases in the aging population. However, the procedure is not without risk. Published literatures have shown different adverse outcomes with the oldest patient documented to be at 97-years-old. This case report of a 99 years and 107 days old male is probably one of the oldest to be recorded to undergo ERCP worldwide, hence is a vital addition to current practice.
Today, Laparoscopy is an alternative technique for carrying out many operations that have traditionally required an open approach. The benefits of minimal access surgery have been well recorded, including lower post-operative morbidity, shorter duration of hospital stay and a shorter return to work.

Pedunculated Lipoma of the Caecum Causing Colocolic Intussusception in an AdultKETAN VAGHOLKAR
Introduction: Colocolic intussusception in adults is uncommon and poses both a diagnostic
and therapeutic dilemma. The association of an underlying malignancy necessitates a preoperative
confirmation of diagnosis. The presenting features are variable. Hence contrast enhanced
computed tomography of the abdomen is pivotal for diagnosis. An en bloc resection
of the specimen in accordance with standard oncological principles is the mainstay of treatment.
Case report: A case of colocolic intussusception in an adult is presented to highlight the
difficulties in preoperative diagnosis and in selecting the best surgical option for treatment.
Conclusion: Adult bowel intussusception is a diagnostic dilemma with preoperative diagnosis
being the biggest challenge. CT scan of the abdomen is an excellent diagnostic modality with
high diagnostic accuracy. Explorative laparotomy with en bloc resection is mainstay of treatment
in adults.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the current gold standard for surgical removal of the Gall bladder, particularly in benign pathologies. Hence, it is necessary to highlight some steps to accomplish this procedure successfully while avoiding pitfalls.
Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor – Case Reports and Review ArticleApollo Hospitals
Malignant mixed mullerian tumors are very rare genital tumors. They are biphasic neoplasms composed of an admixture of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. In descending order of frequency they originate in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. Also they arise denovo from peritoneum. They are highly aggressive and tend to occur in postmenopausal low parity women. Because of rarity, there is as such no treatment guidelines available. Multimodality treatment in the form of radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy or combined chemoradiation gives a better prognosis & outcome. Two case reports of such tumors, one from ovary and other from penitoneum are presented along with the review of literature.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in developed countries. Chemotherapy for breast cancer is likely to negatively impact on reproductive function. We review current treatment; effects on reproductive function; breastfeeding and management of menopausal symptoms following breast cancer.
Turner syndrome (gonadal dysgenesis) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities occuring 1 in 2500 to 1 in 3000 live-born girls. It is an important cause of short stature in girls and primary amenorrhea in young women that is usually caused by loss of part or all of an X chromosome. This review briefly summarises the current knowledge about the syndrome and the management strategies.
Due to pregnancy thyroid economy is affected with changes in iodine metabolism, TBG and development of maternal goiter. The incidence of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is quite common with autoimmune hypothyroidism being the most important cause. Overt as well as subclinical hypothyroidism has a varied impact on maternal and neonatal outcome. After multiple studies also, routine screening in pregnancy for hypothyroidism can still not be recommended. Management mainly comprises of dosage adjustments as soon as pregnancy is diagnosed based on results of thyroid function tests. The aim should be to keep FT4 at the upper end of normal range.
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) can persist from childhood or be newly acquired. Confirmation through stimulation testing is usually required unless there is a proven genetic/structural lesion persistent from childhood. Growth harmone (GH) therapy offers benefits in body composition, exercise capacity, skeletal integrity, and quality of life measures and is most likely to benefit those patients who have more severe GHD. The risks of GH treatment are low. GH dosing regimens should be individualized. The final decision to treat adults with GHD requires thoughtful clinical judgment with a careful evaluation of the benefits and risks specific to the individual.
Advances in the management of thalassemia have led to marked improvements in the life span and quality of life of children and young adults. This poses new challenges for the treating physicians. There is now increasing recognition that thalassemics have impaired bone health which is multifactorial in etiology. This paper aims to highlight the factors that predispose these patients to osteoporosis and suggests measures to minimise the impact on bone health.
Laparoscopic Excision of Foregut Duplication Cyst of StomachApollo Hospitals
Retroperitoneal gastric duplication cysts lined by ciliated columnar epithelium are extremely rare lesions and its presentation during adulthood is a diagnostic challenge for treating clinicians. This entity often resembles cystic pancreatic neoplasm, retroperitoneal cystic lesions and sometimes as an adrenal cystic neoplasm. Correct diagnosis on the basis of radiological investigation is difficult and histopathologic analysis. We report a case of gastric duplication cyst in a 16year old girl that mimicked as a retroperitoneal /pancreatic /adrenal cystic lesion and was successfully managed by laparoscopy.
Occupational Blood Borne Infections: Prevention is Better than CureApollo Hospitals
Viral infections like HIV, hepatitis Band C virus pose a big risk to the contacts of individuals with high risk behaviour as well as to the attending health care workers. Blood, semen, vaginal and other potentially infectious materials can transmit the infection to the susceptible contacts. Universal precautions should be strictly implemented during clinical examination, laboratory work and surgical procedures to prevent transmission to the health care providers. Health care workers should receive vaccination for hepatitis B infection. An inadvertent exposure should be managed with proper first aid and infectivity of the source and severity of exposure should be assessed. Severity of exposure is based on the nature and area of exposed surface, mode of injury and volume of infective material. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) should be started as soon as possible after a proper counseling about the effectiveness of post-exposure prophylaxis, side effects and risk of carrying the infection to his familial contacts and its prevention.

Various drugs used to treat pemphigus can cause remission, but none can provide permanent remission as relapses are common. With the introduction of DCP in pemphigus in 1984, patients started being in prolonged/permanent remission. This study was done to compare the efficacy of DCP to oral corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide in combination.
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)Apollo Hospitals
Severe skin adverse drug reactions can result in death. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has the highest mortality (30–35%); Stevens-Johnson syndrome and transitional forms correspond to the same syndrome, but with less extensive skin detachment and a lower mortality (5–15%). Hypersensitivity syndrome, sometimes called Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), has a mortality rate evaluated at about 10%. It is characterised by fever, rash and internal organ involvement. Prompt diagnosis is vital, along with identification and early withdrawal of suspect medicines and avoidance of re-exposure to the responsible agent is essential. Cross-reactivity to structurally-related syndrome caused by Carbamazepine medicines is common, thus first-degree relatives may be predisposed to developing this syndrome. We report a case of DRESS secondary to use of Carbamazepine.
Deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis in a tertiary care center: An observational ...Apollo Hospitals
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major health problem with substantial mortality and morbidity in medically ill patients. Prevention of DVT by risk factor stratification and subsequent antithrombotic prophylaxis in moderate- to severe-risk category patients is the most rational means of reducing morbidity and mortality.
The spread of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever is increasing, atypical manifestations are also on the rise, although they may be under reported because of lack of awareness. We report two such cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever with hepatitis, intraocular hemorrhage, ARDS and myocarditis.

He had a hard bony bulge in the posterior pharyngeal wall on palpation and hence was referred for an Orthopaedic opinion. Lateral radiograph of the cervical spine revealed diffuse ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament. This ossification was extending almost half the width of the cervical body from its anterior body at C1 and C2 vertebra level.
Pediatric Liver Transplant (LT) is now an established procedure for End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD) with biliary atresia being the commonest indication. Intensive pre-transplant evaluation, nutritional buildup and immunization are the fundamental pre-requisites of a successful LT. With improvement in surgical micro-anastomotic techniques and superior immunosuppressive regimens the success rate of pediatric LT is in excess of 90%. Most of the transplants in our country however are Living related, due to which a fairly large number of children expire awaiting a donor liver. There should be a concerted effort to evolve the cadaveric donation program, so that majority of the children are benefitted.
Ultrasound Elastography is a new imaging technique that allows a noninvasive estimation and imaging of tissue elasticity distribution within biological tissues using conventional, Real Time Ultrasound equipment with modified software. It can be viewed as an electronic palpation of tissues. Introduced by Ophir et al in 1991, it subsequently evolved into a Real Time Imaging tool.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

INTRODUCTION
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold
standard treatment of symptomatic gall stone since its
inception in 1987 [1]. With the increasing experience in
laparoscopic surgery, surgeon has started to take more and
more difficult, complex and high risk cases, which were
considered relative contradictions for laparoscopic
removal of gall bladder few year back.
But it is important to know the different clinical,
radiological parameter and specific predictor that give
some prediction of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
which not only helps in patient counselling but also help
the surgeon to prepare better for intraoperative difficulties
expected to be encountered. Laparoscopic
cholecystectomy is associated with less morbidity than
open cholecystectomy if it is done successfully,
irrespective the of duration of surgery [2].
But with the growing experience and improved
technology more number of laparoscopic
cholecystectomy, even in case of so called difficult cases,
can be completed successfully and the need for conversion
to open is gradually decreasing.
METHOD
We conducted this study at our hospital and included
all laparoscopic cholecystectomy done at our hospital
from May 2008 to January 2010. Detailed clinical history
and physical examination were carried out. Complete
blood count, RBS, RFT, LFT, BT, CT, PT, Viral marker,
Urine examination and USG was done in every case.
Preoperative ERCP done in case of suspected CBD
stones. Total time taken in surgery, conversion rate and
complication rate were analysed. Factors making lap
cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed.
We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy
when we found
(i) Dense fibrotic adhesion in and around calot’s
triangle
(ii) Gangeranous gall bladder
(iii) Empyema
(iv) Large stone impacted at neck of gall bladder
(v) Contracted gallbladder
(vi) Mirrizi’s syndrome

laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed. We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy
when we found -dense fibrotic adhesions in and around Callot’s triangle, gangrenous gall bladder, empyma,
large stone impacted at gall bladder neck, contracted gall bladder, Mirrizi’s syndrome, h/o biliary pancreatitis,
CBD stones, acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
Out of 206 cases done during above period, 56 cases were considered difficult. Only two cases were
converted to open.
With growing experience and technical advancement surgery can be completed in most of the difficult cases.
This is important because recently it is shown in literature that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated
with less morbidity than open method irrespective of duration of the surgery.

complition rate and low conversion rate in difficult cases
when surgeons are experienced and technique is little bit
modified & operative team is same [3-6].
Conversion rates can be brought down to a very low
level, if surgeon is experienced enough and if the
procedure is modified accordingly in difficult cases [7].
The most common cause of conversion to open
surgery in literature is dense adhesion at Callot’s triangle
followed Mirrizi’s syndrome [8].
Many studies also tried to find the method by which
prediction of the difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy
can be made preoperatively [9-12], with varied degree of
success.
Some have also tried to come out with some sort of
scoring system [13,14] which can help in prediction of
difficult lap cholecystectomy. Several clinical and
radiological parameter have been identified, which can
predict the difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The
clinical parameter, male sex [15-16], advanced age [14-
17], prolonged history of gall stone, leucocytosis and
systemic signs of sepsis, elevated liver enzyme are related
to difficulty encountered during the surgery.
USG finding of gall bladder wall thickness >4.0 mm
[18], procaline gallbladder, calcification in gallbladder,
large gallbladder stone can predict the difficult
laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Predication of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
preoperatively helps in patient counselling and also helps
the surgeon to prepare both for intra operative risk and the
technical difficulties expected to be encountered [19-20].
Finally many technical modifications have been
advised for the successful completion of the laparoscopic
cholecys-tectomy in difficult cases.
Our modification in difficult cases include putting
additional trocar, use of fan shaped retractor, to retract the
stomach & duodenum, aspiration of gall bladder in case of
mucocele and empyema, use of long and tooth grasper in
case of thick walled gallbladder, blunt dissection with tip
of suction cannula, subtotal and partial cholecystectomy,
use of intra corporeal suturing in case of wide cystic duct,
separate removal of large impacted stone in hartman’s
pouch which helps in grasping the gallbladder neck.
In spite of all these methods there are the instances,
where a surgeon need to convert the surgery from
laparoscopic to open – like (a) When surgeon is
inexperienced (b) Anatomy is unclear (c) If no progress is
madeinidentifyingtheanatomyduringthesurgery[19-20].
(vii) H/o Biliary pancreatitis.
(viii)CBS stones.
(xi) Acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
We, as a policy do not operate in case of acute
cholecystitis of >72 hrs duration at 1st admission and plan
for surgery after 6-8 weeks.
RESULTS
We included 206 cases of laparoscopic
cholecystectomy done at out centre between May 2008 to
Jan 2010. Out 206 cases 50 were male 156 were female.
Out of 206 cases 56 cases were considered as difficult
laparoscopy cholecystectomy cases by our definition. Out
of 56 difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases, we
were able to complete the surgery by laparoscopic method
in 54 cases and only in two cases we converted it to open.
In Both these cases the indication for conversion was
extremely friable gall bladder, which makes the gall
bladder difficult to hold. There was no significant
complication in cases where cholecystectomy was
completed successfully by laparo-scopic method. In one
of two converted cases, wound infection occurred which
was treated by dreessings & antibiotics. Average time
taken for the completion of surgery was 45 min. Average
time taken in case of difficult cases was 1.35 hrs.
DISCUSSION
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has almost replaced
the open cholecystectomy as a treatment option of
diseased gall bladder, since Philip Mouret did the first
laparoscopic cholecystectomy as in 1987 [1].
Laparoscopic cholecystec-tomy has many advantage over
the open cholecystectomy like
(i) Minimal post operative pain
(ii) Fast recovery
(iii) Short hospital stay
(iv) Decreased morbidity
(v) Better cosmesis
(vi) Cost effectiveness.
These advantages are also there even in case of
difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It has been shown
that laparoscopic cholecsystectomy if completed
successfully, is associated with less morbidity than open
cholecystectomy irrespective of total duration of the
surgery [2].
Many studies also indicates the reasonably high

Also conversion should not be considered as a failure
or complication of the surgery rather it is a demand of the
situation and when need arises surgeon should not hesitate
to convert.
CONCLUSION
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a gold standard
treatment now for the gall stone disease. The Technique
has been standardized for the laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. There are situations which give rise to
difficult laparoscopic cheoleystectomy. With experience
& little modification of technique & patience, we can
successfully complete the surgery by laparoscopic method
only, because it is shown in literature that laparoscopic
cholecystectomy is still better option than open
cholecystectomy even in case of difficult cases. But there
are situation, where there is a need to convert the surgery
to open method & it should not be considerd as failure but
a sound judgement by the surgeon.
