	Munchausen's Syndrome - more common than we realise
	Doherty and Sheehan describe 3 cases of Munchausen's syndrome encountered in a 4 month period. They feigned psychiatric symptoms and two presented with global amnesia. The third cse was a woman who requested bilateral mastectomies based on a false story of a family history of breast cancer. The authors state that the prognosis for these patients is generally poor particularly if there is a sever co-morbid personality disorder. Identification, however, is critical in order to avoid unnecessary procedures and treatments.

	Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy

	Pandali et al describe the application of robotic surgery. This paper demonstrates its role in the performance of laparoscopic colectomy. The system provides a stable platform for the camera and avoids the physiological tremor associated with human manipulation. The need for assistants is reduced. Above all the system compensates for the limitations of human dexterity.
