Background: Mini laparotomy cholecystectomy (MLC) is an alternative surgical procedure in conditions where laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is not feasible. MLC is a simpler and easier technique compared to LC. MLC involves smaller skin incision, low morbidity rate, and early return to oral diet. MLC has the potential to be the preferred surgical technique in developing countries due to its low cost and availability.
Method: A cohort retrospective study was performed on 44 patients who underwent mini laparotomy cholecystectomy due to ineligibility for LC. Patients were documented for successful mini laparotomy or conversion to laparotomy cholecystectomy. There are pre-operative aspects recorded and analyzed to formulate predictor factors for conversion surgery, as well as intra-operative and post-operative aspects. Patients also filled evaluation questionnaire based on Likert Scale about their satisfaction towards result of MLC.
Result: MLC is performed in 31 (70.5%) patients while 13 (29.5%) patients underwent conversion to open cholecystectomy. There were no complications nor mortalities observed during and after the surgery. Greater BMI, higher leucocyte count, higher bilirubin level, increasing severity of adhesion, and chronic cholecystitis were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the conversion surgery group. MLC also resulted in shorter post-operative hospitalization compared to conversion surgery. Patients showed great satisfaction towards the cosmetic aspect and recovery period after MLC procedure.
Conclusion: MLC is an effective surgery procedure for cholelithiasis and can be safely performed in patients with complication such as cholecystitis and gallbladder adhesion although these conditions increase the risk of conversion surgery.

Giant ovarian cysts (GOCs) have become less common in developed countries due to routine health screenings, but they remain prevalent in economically underdeveloped regions. Treatment options for GOCs depend on factors such as age, cyst characteristics, and pregnancy status. Minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic surgery has largely replaced traditional open surgery due to its aesthetic advantages and effectiveness.

Background: Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery (RPLS) uses the minimum possible number of ports or small-sized ports in laparoscopic surgery. The combination of RPLS and natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) minimizes the procedural damage.
Methods: A total of 17 patients diagnosed with right colon cancer were included: 5 patients in the RPLS + NOSE group and 12 patients in the conventional laparoscopic surgery (CL) + mini-laparotomy (ML) group.

Our case involves a 68-year-old postmenopausal patient with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy performed 25 years ago. The patient presented with chronic pelvic pain for a gynecological examination. Clinically, a large painless pelvic mass was palpable, likely originating from the preserved left ovary.

Article Synopsis
- An intragastric balloon is a temporary weight loss tool that is placed in the stomach and filled to promote a feeling of fullness.
- A 23-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and vomiting after her gastric balloon collapsed and migrated, causing a small bowel obstruction.
- Despite initial conservative treatment, she needed surgery to remove the migrated balloon, emphasizing the need for quick imaging and intervention in similar cases.
Acute presentation of short‑segment Hirschsprung's disease treated with Soave's procedure in a 20‑year‑old male: A case report and mini‑review of the literature.

Article Synopsis
- Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital condition where no ganglion cells are present in the colon, affecting its ability to move waste; it can often be misdiagnosed, even into adulthood.
- A case study of a 20-year-old male showed that after years of untreated chronic constipation, he faced an intestinal obstruction that led to emergency surgery and a diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease.
- The treatment involved Soave-type surgery, which was successful, and the study suggests that adults with long-term constipation issues may need to be evaluated for this disease.
