Dropped Gallstone-Related Right Subhepatic and Parietal Wall Abscess: A Rare Complication After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Gallbladder perforation and stone spillage is a common intraoperative problem during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Most of these stones are retrieved intraoperatively. The incidence of lost or unretrieved stones is approximately 2%, and very few patients may develop complication.

Esophageal guidewire-assisted nasogastric tube insertion in anesthetized and intubated patients: a prospective randomized controlled study.

Background: Nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion is indicated almost routinely in patients undergoing abdominal surgery to decompress the stomach intraoperatively and postoperatively, and to allow postoperative tube feeding. NGTs are made of nonreinforced polymer plastic materials and are prone to kinking and coiling during insertion. This often poses difficulty in blind NGT placement or placement assisted by variously described techniques.
