Misidentification of anatomy at lap chole caused panic. The lymphatics and fat with the cystic lymph node on top were identified as cystic artery and clipped and divided as such. Next the cystic artery was misidentified as cystic duct and divided as such after clipping. When the real cystic duct came into view, there was panic all around in view of the consideration that the main bile duct may already have been clipped and divided below having been misidentified as the cystic duct.

An adult intussusception reduced and limited ileocolic resection done. A 65 years old emaciated man with history of subacute intestinal obstruction and a palpable mass.

Limited ileocolic resection done with ileocolic EEA.

5.8.10
One of the most difficult lap choles so far, worth remembering. A 40 years old man had been admitted two weeks before with acute cholecystitis, treated conservatively and recovered to be sent home. However, he was admitted again as he felt he had never been really free from pain. Ultrasound revealed distended gallbladder and pericholecystic fluid. LFTs within normal range. At lap chole, dense omental adhesions had to be removed diligently before the gall bladder became visible. A grasp at the fundus tore the gall bladder to reveal thick pus which was aspirated, and along with this came out a cast of a fibrinous wall of the abscess. Slow dissection led to the big Hartmann pouch the grasping of which was impossible due to the big stone stuck in it. This was opened up, the stone retrieved, broken into pieces to remove it piecemeal, and then only the neck of the gall bladder became clear. Further dissection of the area was deemed dangerous, and the neck was ligated  with vicryl 1 twice with extracoporeal knots. Thereafter, separating the wall of the gall bladder from the liver bed was another difficult task, so some of the wall was left behind with the liver, and cauterised. Removal of the big thickwalled gallbladder was not possible in one piece, so it was divided in steps into 4 pieces, each one being removed separately. The whole procedure took nearly 4 hours, but in the end was a satisfying one. Next day the patient was smiling but the surgeon aching all over.
