She is hypertensive and has hypothyroidism. She had history of previous 4 abdominal surgeries which was a challenge to us considering the adhesions open surgery creates. Patient also had large gall stone (22mm) and wanted removal in the same sitting. Attached are the specimen of remnant stomach and the gall bladder. She was discharged on the 2nd day after surgery.
