ABSTRACT
Per cutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is one of the most common procedures performed by the gastroenterologist for various indications. The procedure is associated with complications which may be minor or major; though the better part is minor yet a high incidence of morbidity is linked to them. This review article illustrates the complications associated with PEG and various methods to prevent and manage the complications.

The anatomy facing a surgeon during cholecystectomy is challenging as it involves complex relationship between the gallbladder, hepatic artery and extra-hepatic billiary tree. We report a case of septate gall bladder which was successfully treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In this paper, we also discuss the embryology and characteristics of this rare anomaly. Lack of awareness, non-specific symptoms, signs and inadequacy of imaging methods are possible reasons for the reported problem of overlooking of this entity. Complete identification and removal of gallbladder is mandatory, as a remnant may result in recurrence of symptoms or stones.
