Retroperitoneal abscess with retained gall-stones as a late complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 88, Issue 1
Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the golden standard, considering treatment of cholelithiasis. During the laparoscopic procedure one may often observe damage to the gall-bladder wall, as well as presence of gall-stones in the peritoneal cavity, as compared to classical surgery. These gall-stones may be associated with the occurrence of various complications following surgery. The study presented a rare case of a retroperitoneal abscess, as a consequence of retained gall-stones, in a female patient who was subject to laparoscopic cholecystectomy two years earlier.
