Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) regarding postoperative pain, recurrence rates, duration of hospital stay and other postoperative outcomes within the context of a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India, and the initial experience of laparoscopic repairs. The current consensus in the literature often suggests LIHR as superior to open inguinal hernia repair (OIHR).

Methods: This single-centre, retrospective, observational study was conducted at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Education and Research, Puducherry, India, from January 2011 to September 2020.

Liver haemangiomas are the most common benign hepatic tumours, but secondary portal hypertension resulting from haemangiomas is exceedingly uncommon. We present a case of a man in his 50s who presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the right upper abdomen. CT of the liver revealed a large hypodense lesion involving the right lobe, with two smaller lesions in the left lobe.

The development of sophisticated machine learning algorithms has made it possible to detect critical health conditions like cardiac arrhythmia, directly from electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. Large-scale machine learning models, like deep neural networks, are well known to underperform when subjected to small perturbations which would not pose a challenge to physicians. This is a hurdle that needs to be removed to facilitate wide-scale adoption.

A gallbladder neuroendocrine neoplasm (GB‑NEN) is a bizarre heterogeneous neoplasm arising from neuroendocrine cells, which are present in minimal amounts on the GB mucosa either due to conversion of undifferentiated stem cells, chronic inflammation and resulting in pathological metaplasia or switching of GB adenocarcinoma to neuroendocrine one. Among all the GB malignancies, GB-NEN accounts for approximately 2.1%.

Introduction: Understanding patients' self-reported chemotherapy side effects is significant because it affects patients' quality of life (QOL) and compliance with treatment. Our current knowledge of chemotherapy side effects comes from available literature, whose external validity is questionable. Moreover, there are very few studies available in the literature that focus on various cancers and their associated side effects.

A systemic review and meta-analysis of perioperative outcomes of acute limb ischemia (ALI) in patients with and without coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) to determine the outcomes of ALI and compare the outcomes in patients with and without COVID-19 infection. A literature search of the Medline, Science Direct and Cochrane Library was performed from inception to July 15, 2021. Studies involving ALI in patients with COVID-19 were searched through three electronic databases.

Purpose: Due to the mixed population enrolled in different studies i.e., medical and surgical cases, conflicting data exists about the accuracy of quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) scores in predicting adverse outcomes in patients with suspected sepsis presenting to the surgical emergency.

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in carcinoma stomach was introduced in an effort to eliminate micro-metastasis and to improve resectablity before surgery which improves R0 resection rates. We aimed to study the short term outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage and the operative outcomes including R0 resection rate in locally advanced gastric cancer.

Methods: We prospectively included patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma stomach staged by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in our study.

Esophageal cancer is the ninth most common cancer all over the world and is sixth in the list of cancer-related mortality. Here in this report, we present an elderly male with solitary subcutaneous metastasis to right thigh 2 years following esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Operative notes revealed inadequate margins on frozen section analysis during initial resection, which were subsequently revised.

The state of intense peripancreatic inflammation in chronic pancreatitis can give rise to various vascular complications such as venous thrombosis and arterial pseudoaneurysms. Due to its intimate location with the pancreas, spleno-mesenteric-portal axis suffers the greatest blunt of thrombotic complications. Treatment modalities for such cases of chronic portal vein thrombosis have always been controversial and challenging.

Mucormycosis represents several unusual opportunistic infection caused by saprophytic aseptate fungi. There is a recent rise in cases of mucormycosis due to an increase in diabetic and immunodeficient patients like patients on long-term steroids, immunomodulators due to organ transplantation, malignancies, mainly haematological malignancies, and autoimmunity. Anatomically, mucormycosis can be localised most commonly as rhino-orbito-cerebral followed by pulmonary, disseminated, cutaneous and gastrointestinal, rarest being small intestinal.

Candidal infection of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is rare but has recently increased due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients, injudicious use of antibacterial agents, and prolonged use of antacid drugs in immunocompetent patients. The most frequent organ involved in GIT candidiasis is the esophagus, followed by the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The clinical spectrum of gastric candidiasis ranges from asymptomatic to gastric perforation and even shock.

Plasmablastic lymphoma, an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defining malignancy, is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is classically described in the oral cavity, the extraoral presentation being rare. Owing to its rarity and aggressiveness, plasmablastic lymphoma poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the treating physician.

Blind loop syndrome (BLS) is a well-recognized delayed complication in small bowel strictures, stenosis, fistulas, diverticula, or post-gastrectomy afferent loop syndrome. However, due to its delayed presentation, BLS after side-to-side bowel anastomosis is inadequately reported. The vicious cycle of the blind loop is due to bacterial overgrowth, resulting in diarrhea, weight loss, malnutrition, and rarely mucosal erosion, bleeding, and perforation peritonitis.

An epigastric hernia is a rare type of abdominal hernia, described in the literature mostly as small, containing only preperitoneal fat. A large true epigastric hernia with herniation of the abdominal viscera is even rarer. Only a few case reports have given an account of strangulation in such an epigastric hernia.

Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is the most common form of skeletal TB with an exceedingly diverse set of clinical presentations. Most often, there is a slow onset of the disease with patients presenting only with back pain. Although some patients can present later with neurological deficits or with compressive symptoms of an accompanying cold abscess, an initial presentation of a spontaneous cutaneous fistulization of a paraspinal abscess is rare.

Article Synopsis
  • - Pancreatic pseudoaneurysms, while rare, can lead to serious internal bleeding and are particularly uncommon in cases of chronic pancreatitis affecting the celiac artery.
  • - Digital Subtraction Angiography is key for diagnosing and managing these conditions, offering therapeutic options and reducing the need for invasive surgeries.
  • - A case study highlights a 35-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis who faced severe complications; after unsuccessful endovascular treatment, he successfully underwent surgical celiac artery ligation.

Synchronous malignancies involving the gallbladder and the bile duct are exceedingly rare. Moreover, their association with anomalous pancreaticobiliary duct junction (APBDJ) has been reported mostly from the Far Eastern countries. Over time, many studies have suggested the definite risk of malignancy attributable to the 'carcinogenic anatomical configuration' of the long common biliopancreatic channel, allowing reflux of pancreatic juices in the biliary tract.

Feeding jejunostomy (FJ) is a simple surgical procedure for enteral nutrition. But it can develop complications that may require re-exploration and can be life-threatening. Common complications include mechanical ones such as tube migration or dislocation, infection, gastrointestinal symptoms and fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare tumor and is considered one of the precursor lesions for cholangiocarcinoma. Though relatively common in the far east countries, it is uncommon in the Indian population. A 67-year-old gentleman presented with vague upper abdominal pain with no history of fever, jaundice, melena, or hematemesis.
