Single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (SPLA)/ Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery done in a post TAH patient presenting with acute abdomen

AKA Transumbilical Single-port Laparoscopic Appendectomy (TUSPLA)

An alternative to the traditional three port laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis

A “+1 component” (second, 5mm trocar at the suprapubic area) was utilized to overcome the “parallelism” or lack of triangulation which was crucial for mobilizing the appendix safely in this complex and ruptured appendix we had encountered.

❗️❗️Posting for awareness ❗️❗️

Medical certificates in the Philippines hold legal and practical significance.

Article 171 of the RPC punishes a public officer, employee, or notary who, taking advantage of his or her official position, commits falsification in any of the following ways, among others:

-Counterfeiting or imitating any handwriting, signature, or rubric.
-Causing it to appear that persons have participated in any act or proceeding when they did not in fact so participate.
-Attributing to persons statements other than those in fact made by them.
-Making untruthful statements in narration of facts.
-Altering true dates.
-Making any alteration or intercalation in a genuine document which changes its meaning.

Apart from the act of falsification itself, Article 172 also penalizes any person who knowingly uses a falsified or forged document.

Thus, even if someone is not the direct forger of a medical certificate but is merely the end-user—submitting the forged medical certificate to an employer, school, or government office—he or she can still be held criminally liable if it is proven that they had knowledge of the falsification and intended to benefit or mislead by using it.

**Attention, everyone! ** I want to bring to your immediate notice that someone has fraudulently used my name twice on a medical certificate submitted to their company. HR reached out to me because of suspicious signature discrepancies.

**Let me clarify:**
- Both signatures on these certificates are completely unrecognizable and not mine.💩
- The PRC license number listed is not mine. 🤡
- Most critically, I am NOT currently affiliated with Baguio General Hospital.

Please be advised that all medical certificates I issue are either personally handwritten or, if typed, always bear my official personalized seal.

Stay vigilant and ensure verification before accepting any medical documentation falsely attributed to me.

Performing series of colonscopies last March, being recognized as Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month.

This campaign aims to raise awareness about colore**al cancer, promote early detection through screening, and encourage healthy lifestyle choices to reduce risk.

Colore**al cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths.

Awareness and regular screening, such as colonoscopy, are crucial in reducing mortality and morbidity associated with this disease.

The American Society of Colon and Re**al Surgeons (ASCRS) recommends that adults at average risk begin colore**al cancer screening at age 45, with colonoscopy being the gold standard.

"Screening Saves Lives: Don't wait until it's too late!
Schedule your colonoscopy today and take a proactive step towards preventing colore**al cancer!"
