Gastric cancer perforations are rare events with management options ranging from lavage and perforation closure, to resection. Usual aim is to perform a damage control procedure, and very few patients are suitable for a curative resection. We report the first case of emergency gastrectomy with pancreatico-duodenectomy performed in emergency for a perforated stomach cancer with pancreatic head invasion.

Minimally invasive radical cholecystectomy is a complex laparoscopy. Robotic surgery is now an option to complete a radical cholecystectomy because of its high definition, magnified three-dimensional view of the operative field, and articulating instrumentation. Robotic surgery enables a safe dissection in otherwise difficult to access areas such as the porta hepatis.

Background: Pancreato-duodenectomy (PD) is a technically challenging operation with significant morbidity and mortality. Over the period of time, Tata Memorial Centre has evolved into a high-volume centre for management of pancreatic cancer. Aim of this study is to report the short- and long-term outcomes of 1200 consecutive PDs performed at single tertiary cancer centre in India.

Background: The objective was to elucidate the operative technique of robotic radical cholecystectomy (RRC) and to compare the early outcomes of RRC with open radical cholecystectomy (ORC) for gallbladder cancer (GBC).

Methods: Patients who underwent RRC for suspected or incidental GBC between July 2015 and August 2018 were analyzed. Patients who underwent ORC during the same period and fulfilled the study criteria formed the control group.

Background: Incidental gallbladder cancer (iGBC) is on the rise world over. This may be a good scenario as we get to treat GBC in early stages. However, there is a practice of diagnosing patients based on clinicoradiological findings alone and subjecting them to a radical surgical procedure.
