Intra-abdominal drains have been used since long to prevent intra-abdominal collection, and detect any anastomotic leaks. We report a case of left sided fallopian tube herniation from a left lower abdominal drain site in a 27-year female who underwent caesarian section for breach presentation. Several complications related to drain usage has been described but left sided fallopian tube prolapse through drain site has not been reported in literature.

Rectovaginal fistula following sexual intercourse is rarely reported. It is a social stigma; and without adequate treatment and social support, the patient may end-up in isolation. A thorough knowledge of the problem and management is essential for successful outcome. We report a case of low rectovaginal fistula in a newly married female managed trans-vaginally with prior defunctioning colostomy.

Primary Segmental Infarction (PSI) of the greater omentum is rare. It usually presents as acute appendicitis and the diagnosis is made per operatively. We report a case of 22 years male who presented with history and clinical features suggestive of acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was planned but during diagnostic laparoscopic phase, omentum was found infarcted in the right lower abdomen and the appendix was normal. Laparoscopic omentectomy of the infarcted segment was done and the patient had smooth recovery.

Sub-costal port site abscess and sinus formation secondary to spilled gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is extremely rare, however such complications at umbilical port site has been described in literature. We present one such case in an elderly diabetic female. Spilled stones migrating to the port site should be kept in mind in a patient presenting with chronic discharging sinus at any of the laparoscopic port sites after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The finding of an appendix in the hernial sac is a rare entity known as Amyand's hernia. It is even more rare when it occurs on the left side. We report a rare presentation of Amyand's hernia, where the appendix was found inflamed during surgery for a left sided obstructed inguinal hernia in a 40 years old male. The patient underwent appendicectomy and repair of the hernial sac and had an uneventful recovery. The possibility of the presence of a situs inversus or malrotation, as an underlying cause for the observed pathology, was excluded by X-ray examination.
