| Popis: | Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the preferred method for removal of the diseased gallbladder. While its morbidity and mortality rates are lower than those of the open technique, it does have associated complications which may cause significant morbidity. The morbidity associated with spilled gall-stones is not well studied and little can be found in the literature on this subject. We encountered a patient who developed abscesses within the abdominal wall following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We recommend that spilled gallstones be removed when possible and that surgeons be aware of this possible complication. |
