The patent processus vaginalis causing hydrocele in a 5 years old child was neatly dissected, ligated at the internal ring and then excised after draining the hydrocele fluid. Photos taken by second year medical students.

A 62 years old male was admitted with history of severe pain and jaundice, caused by gall stones and CBD stones. At ERCP, a single stone was removed from the common bile duct after a sphincterotomy. Lap chole the next day turned out to be very difficult, bloody and prolonged. The small gall bladder was removed in pieces after ligating the wide cystic duct with vicryl.

A 35 years old female had the gallbladder reported as shrunken at US, and an MRCP showed a distinct but small gall bladder. The lap chole turned out be very easy.
