Gallstone expectoration following laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Rohtas K Yadav et al. Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci. 2002 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for uncomplicated gallstone disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may result in lost (spilled) gallstones. Such stones may precipitate various infective intra-abdominal complications. An unusual case of spilled gallstones eroding the diaphragm and eventually being expectorated out 12 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported.
