Abstrakt: Cholecystocutaneous fistula is a rare surgical entity caused by an abnormal connection between the gallbladder epithelium and the skin. These complex cases have historically required an open surgical approach and are difficult to manage. We present a rare case of a 65-year-old male patient, with chronic lithiasic cholecystitis and cholecystocutaneous fistula. The patient underwent a laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy, dissection of the fistula tract, and removal of the impacted stones from the abdominal wall. With appropriate expertize, a completely laparoscopic approach is acceptable and the technical challenges can be predicted and overcome through careful pre-operative planning.
