The most common colorectal polyps found during routine colonoscopy were 270 adenomatous (52.4 %) cases. Of these, 155 (57.4 %) adenomatous polyps were high-risk category. Population prevalence data of colonic polyps in general population beyond the age of 50 years needs to be obtained.

Surgical intervention in cirrhosis of liver with portal hypertension is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This is attributed to liver decompensation, intra-operative bleeding, prolonged operative time, wound related and anaesthesia complications. Laparoscopic surgery in cirrhosis is advantageous but is associated with technical challenges. We report one such case of hepatitis C cirrhosis with oesophageal varices and symptomatic achalasia cardia, who was successfully treated by laparoscopic cardiomyotomy after thorough preoperative workup and planning. In the review of literature on pubmed, no such case is reported.
