Surgery In A Two-Year Old

I repaired a Hernia in this bubbly 2-year old female patient. Quite uncommonly seen in girls, it was a right-sided Inguinal Hernia and I was glad when, at the expected moment, the Hernial sac ballooned upwards and showed itself in full view of I, Dr Larry (who was assistant surgeon) and the Anaesthetist, who watched anxiously in the hope of a quick surgery so she could get back to her primary place of duty without further delay - the Operation had started a little later than scheduled for her liking, and finding the Hernial sac in some cases could take a lengthy bit of dissection.

The Hypoglycaemic Coma patient is still vegetating; too bad. If only he was brought in earlier.
