[Recurrent lithiasis following cholecystectomy imaged with ultrasonography, tomodensitometry and cholangiography]

It is generally admitted, that after cholecystectomy, the cystic duct and the gallbladder remnant may cause symptoms, by being the site of inflammation. Recurrence of stones in a reformed gallbladder is avoided when cholecystectomy is complete. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman, presenting 19 years after cholecystectomy with a reformed gallbladder containing stones demonstrated by US, CT and cholangiography.
