An unusual complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Thus far, the morbidity and mortality of laparoscopic cholecystectomy compares favorably to that of open cholecystectomy. Neither procedure, however, is without complications. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy combines diagnostic laparoscopy as well as cholecystectomy. It is the purpose of this article to briefly review these procedures and report an interesting variation: penetration of small bowel as a result of an unusual variation of a Meckel's Diverticulum.
