Background: Spillage of gallstone is uncommon during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Spillage in inflamed and friable gallbladder can occur during dissection of gallbladder from liver bed, injury to the gallbladder wall from grasping forceps and during removal of gallbladder from port site. The spilled stone in abdominal wall may cause abscess and sinus formation. Case Report: We treated a case of 52 year male presenting with discharging sinus from epigastric port site after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: High index of suspicion should be maintained for spillage in a patient presenting with port site sinus after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
