Initial Diversion in Hirschsprung’s Disease: Loop versus End Colostomy. Does it Make a Difference?
Abstract: Background: Staged surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease involving initial stoma formation with biopsies to find the level of aganglionosis and subsequent pull-through procedure like Duhamel’s Pull through is the most recommended management protocol at several institutions.

Patients with a preoperatively undiagnosed adenocarcinoma of the gall bladder in situ have a high incidence of recurrence at the port site. Incidence increases when a gall bladder perforation occurs during its extraction. Incidence is as high about 14%. Here we report a case of …
