Omental Pseudocyst Following an Open Groin Surgery: A Cause for Concern.

Retained, non-absorbable sutures following surgical procedures can lead to rare complications, including pseudocyst formation. Here, we present a unique case of an omental pseudocyst caused by suture migration after an open inguinal hernia repair with mesh. A 31-year-old male with a history of right-sided open mesh hernioplasty performed two years prior presented with dull, aching abdominal pain persisting for six months.

Youngest en-bloc kidney transplant recipient in India: defying the barriers and challenges with teamwork.

The patient was haemodynamically stable during the procedure, but he developed rapidly progressing dyspnoea, tachycardia and tachypnoea about 10 min after the vessels were declamped.
