Highlights Gallbladder volvulus (GV) is a rare disease with less than 400 cases reported in the English literature. Preoperative diagnosis is a major challenge with only 4 cases being diagnosed on radiology. Critical constellation of presenting symptoms and signs along with radiology can help in timely diagnosis of GV.

Intraoperative blood loss is most frequent in patients undergoing major LH. Blood loss ≥250 ml during LH may adversely affect the postoperative outcomes.

HighlightsGastroblastoma is a rare gastric biphasic tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components.To the best of our knowledge only eight cases have been reported in the English literature till date.Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment.

Laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with a psoas hitch for ureterovaginal fistula secondary to hysterectomy is safe and effective, and associated with a low incidence of postoperative reflux and obstruction.

Open nephrolithotomy/pyelolithotomy ABSTRACTPurpose: Re-procedure in patients with history of open stone surgery is usually challenging due to the alteration in the retroperitoneal anatomy. The aim of this study was to determine the possible impact of open renal surgery on the efficacy and morbidity of subsequent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

Laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula is safe and effective. Bivalving of the bladder may be avoided by use of a small cystotomy, with the potential benefits of shorter operative time and reduced bladder spasms.

HighlightsAdenosquamous carcinoma is a rare colorectal tumor with both glandular and squamous histologic component.To the best of our knowledge only few cases have been reported in the literature till date.Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare colorectal neoplasm with non-specific complaints.Its clinicopathologic behavior is not understood.Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment.
