Abstract:
Gallbladder perforation with subsequent gallstone spillage can occur with higher frequency in laparoscopic cholecystectomy than in traditional open approach. Gallstone abscess formation from stone spillage post-cholecystectomy is extremely rare. We present a case of para-spinal abscess formation 5 years after spilled gallstones following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
