Asked to remove a lipoma on the shoulder area of a 35-year-old lady, looked for the slip sign just to confirm clinically but the sign could not be elicited. The ultrasound report showed the lipoma deeper to the deltoid muscle sheath, from where it was easily removed after getting deeper under the deltoid fascia and through its muscle fibres.

Lap chole in 72 years old lady (c/o Gurmukh Singh of Dhamo Majra) with gall stones in a fibrosed gall bladder resulted in a duodenal injury due to hubris and overconfidence in continuing to dissect despite unclear anatomy. Converted to open to repair the injury. Later had a wound infection which took more than 2 weeks to clear.
