Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible, offering the additional benefit of a shorter hospital stay. It should be offered to patients with acute cholecystitis, provided the surgery is performed within 72 to 96 h of the onset of symptoms.

FNAC is a reliable tool for diagnosing cancer in suspicious breast lesions with a good sensitivity and PPV in hands of an experienced cytopathologist. Surgical treatment may be safely undertaken based on FNAC particularly in early operable breast cancers suitable for breast conservation.

We present a case of a giant inguinoscrotal hernia reaching up to the patient's knees. It was only partially reducible but was not associated with any other complications. It was treated by an inguinal incision and the reduction of contents aided by a small midline infra-umbilical incision. The hernial sac contained loops of small bowel along with its mesentery, appendix, cecum and ascending colon. The defect was repaired using prolene mesh.
