A submandibular sialadenectomy for ch sialadenitis.
Excision and marsupialisation of a recurred pilonidal sinus.
5.10.07
Big ovarian mass 50 F (Dr Jagga’s case). Investigated in PGI. Mass stuck firmly in pelvis, and adherent with UB, sigmoid and ureter, causing hydronephrosis. Ureter released and mass excised with difficulty, along with TAHBSOP.
Bx – undifferentiated cystadenocarcinoma.
Later sent for chemo.

Wrong diagnosis. 50 M (Dr Pawan’s case) – CT diagnosis – appx abscess (CT attached). Pt had fever and leucocytosis too. At surgery, actually a hard mass in cecum firmly fixed to parietes in the paracolic gutter. Also had deposits in right half of omentum. Right hemicolectomy with removal of omentum (right half) performed.
Bx – Adenocarcinoma.

1. A cirsoid aneurysm in a 30 years old female. Excised with great difficulty. Bled like hell despite prior ligation of both superficial temporal arteries (photos).
2. A lap varicolectomy for oligospermia in a 30 years old male.

TG cyst was the wrong diagnosis – 30 F with a small cystic swelling in the midline of neck. At operation, while removing the supposed hyoid bone just above the swelling opened up the trachea. Repaired the trachea with vicryl sutures. Retrospectively decided the diagnosis must have been a thyroid cyst arising from the thyroid isthmus.
