[Electrical injuries during laparoscopy].

Electrical injury is uncommon during surgical laparoscopy, but may be serious. Following a comprehensive literature review, we describe five mechanisms of burn injuries: direct contact, electric arc, insulation failure, direct or capacitive coupling. We discuss these mechanisms and suggest simple preventive measures designed to ensure optimal safety.

[Post-traumatic flank hernias. Report of two cases].

We report two patients who developed a post-traumatic flank hernia manifested several months after road traffic accidents. The diagnosis was missed and established later when a swelling appeared in he flank. CT Scan found a large parietal defect.

[Hemobilia after laparoscopic cystectomy. Apropos of a case. Review of the literature].

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the most widely performed operative procedure with an unmatched success. An unusual complication developed in our practice. We report a case of haemobilia secondary to an arterio-biliary fistula due to a monopolar diathermy burn.
