Videolaparoscopic treatment for isolated necrosis and abscess of the round ligament of the liver

T G Martin. Surg Endosc. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

A case involving abcess and necrosis of the round ligament of the liver is described. This type of case is seldom reported in medical literature. Laparaoscopy is a very useful and feasible tool for the diagnosis and treatment of such cases. The video shows an oversized round ligament with necrotic appearance partially blocked by the epiplon, gallbladder, and stomach. (This online case report contains a video.).
