ABSTRACT
A 35 years old lady presented with fever, biliary colic, mild jaundice, indigestion and flatulence. The upper abdominal ultrasonography revealed cholecystitis with sludge and a round worm in the common bile duct. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and exploration of the bile duct for the removal of round worm was performed. The post-operative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged fit on the 4th post-operative day.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a new modality of treatment for end stage renal disease. Although this procedure is largely underutilised in India, in Manipur this procedure is routinely offered to patients of end stage renal disease. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation was started in Manipur in May, 2001. Till now continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter has been implanted in 116 cases. Out of this 3 patients had associated inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernia is a relative contra-indication for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Still the inguinal hernia was repaired in the same sitting with the catheter implantation. The procedure is described along with the outcome.

Colorectal cancer is uncommon in India and particularly so in the younger age group below 40 years. The present study reports 18 patients with colorectal cancer between the age of 21 to 30 years. Rectum (n = 15, 83%) was the commonest site of the lesion and rectal bleed was the presenting feature in most (n = 16, 89%). Histopathologically, 9 (50%) had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor was unresectable in 5 patients (28%). Fourteen patients (78%) had advanced cancer indicated by TNM stage III or IV disease. Among the 13 patients subjected to surgical treatment followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, only 3 had long term disease free survival beyond 2 years. None of these patients had family history of colonic cancer or polyposis coli. In conclusion, colorectal cancer in younger age is not infrequent and had advanced stage at the time of clinical presentation with poor outcome.
