Popis: This is the first report of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia and subhepatic abscess in association with intraperitoneal gallstones spilled during laparoscopic cholecystectomy two years earlier. Spilled gallstones can lead to abscess formation in the late postoperative period by acting as foreign bodies that can become infected during bacteraemia and then become a source of recurrent bacteraemia.
