[Bile peritonitis: a case report and a review of literature about post-cholecystectomy damages]
Abstract
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy in cirrhosis was complicated by bile ascites and evolved in bile peritonitis. Starting from the differential diagnosis problem between ascitic decompensation and bile-peritonitis caused by a biliary tree damage, we reviewed the literature about post-cholecystectomy damages suggesting a flow chart about this topic.
