A Bartholin’s duct cyst (commonly called Bartholin’s cyst) is a fluid filled, swollen sac-like structure which results from a blockage of one of the ducts of the gland. Bartholin’s cyst is a common problem usually affecting women in the reproductive age group, especially between the ages of 20 – 30 years (Aghajanian and Bernstein 1994; Folashade et al. 2003). It has varied presentations ranging...

We report a case of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for a symptomatic left seminal vesicular cyst and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 49-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of severe irritation upon voiding and intractable, recurrent hematospermia. A computed tomography scan showed a 68×41×38 mm sized left seminal vesicular cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis. LESS was perfo...

INTRODUCTION Biliary diseases during pregnancy are not uncommon and are frequently due to cholelithiasis. Choledochal cyst during pregnancy is rare. The management of biliary pathologies during pregnancy poses a challenge as the window of opportunity to carry out any interventions with minimal risk is small. CASE REPORT We report the case of a lady who was diagnosed with a large type I choled...

Neonatal ovarian cysts (NOC) are usually self-limiting structures, however, large or complex cysts may lead to severe complications. Unfortunately, no standard guidelines have been introduced for the management, treatment and follow-up of these cysts. In this report, we aimed to introduce a very large NOC without any pre- and post-natal complications. A 30 year-old mother, gravida 2, para 2, wi...

Purpose: To report a rare case of massive pancreatic duct dilatation. Methods: Case report of a 16-yearold female with complex medical background presented acutely in our institution after complicated endoscopic drainage of a symptomatic giant (>16 cm) cyst of the head of the pancreas. Findings: Following a laparotomy the cyst was drained by means of a Roux-en-Y cysto-jejunostomy. Histopatholog...

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common developmental abnormality encountered in the neck. Carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare occurrence, and was first reported by Ucherman in 1910, the most common being papillary carcinoma. The incidence of primary papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst is less then1%. We report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma occurr...

For Choledochal cyst type I, complete excision of cyst with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis is the treatment of choice. It has been performed laparoscopically with the advancement of laparoscopic skill. Recently, a telemanipulative robotic surgical system was introduced, providing laparoscopic instruments with wrist-arm technology and 3-dimensional visualization of the operative field...
