“…Open or laparoscopic drainage under general anesthesia has been commonly used to treat DG abscesses [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [14] . Open drainage, however, is associated with the added morbidity of a larger wound as well as the risks of complications such as seroma, hematoma, or wound dehiscence [7] , [9] .…”

“…Dropped gallstones (DG) can occur in 2.3% to 40.0% of laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LC) as a result of gallbladder perforation during surgical dissection and extraction [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] . Complications arising from DG have become more recognized in recent literature, with an estimated incidence of 0.04–19% adverse events [1] .…”

“…Previously, DG were thought to carry no risk for the patient [2] , and their retrieval was not considered mandatory during a complicated cholecystectomy [11] , [12] . Several reports have described many of the possible complications associated with DG [1] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] ; however, the most common complication is the intraabdominal abscess [3] .…”

“…Percutaneous drainage and antibiotics treatment do not suffice in most gallbladder stone-related abscess cases. Abscess should be drained and the focus causing the abscess should be extracted either by open or by laparoscopic procedures in such cases (11). We, accordingly, planned laparoscopic abscess drainage and stone extraction for our patient as the preferred treatment modality.…”

Intraoperational perforation of the gallbladder and the related residual intraabdominal gallbladder stone presence in cholelithiasis procedures are more commonly seen problems in laparoscopic cholecystectomy than those of open cholecystectomy procedures. Residual intraabdominal stones, though rare, can be encountered in early or late complications that can lead to diagnostic challenges and serious morbidity. A 44-year-old female patient presented with complaints of abdominal pain and swelling on her abdominal wall for the last 6 months. The patient had been in follow-up with hydatid cyst pre-diagnosis following abdominal ultrasonography performed at an external center. The patient’s medical history revealed that she had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery due to cholelithiasis 1.5 years before. Her abdominal computed tomography performed at our hospital showed abscess formations suggested to have been formed due to gallbladders stones. The patient, whose abscess was drained, and stones were extracted laparoscopically, was discharged on the second postoperative day. Residual intraabdominal gallbladder stones can lead to serious complications and misdiagnoses even years later. Utmost attention should be paid to prevent all these and not to perforate the gallbladder during surgery, while ultimate patience and effort should be put in to remove all the gallbladder stones if they are spilled.

Among the blunt traumas that constitute 90% of the traumas, which seems insignificant; however, bicycle injuries, which can cause injuries ranging from small perineal cuts to solid organ damage, come second after motor vehicle injuries, according to a study in the United States. Bacterial translocation may occur in cases where defense mechanisms are impaired in the organism. In traumatic or severe patients, bacteria or endotoxins can cross the intestinal mucosa barrier and enter tissues or systemic circulation. Abscesses in the abdomen can develop when the abdominal cavity or an organ in the abdomen is somehow compromised and bacteria can enter. Acute appendicitis is a common acute abdomen that requires urgent surgery. It is believed that obstruction of the appendix lumen is necessary for inflammation, gangrenous changes, and perforation in the appendix. Here, we wanted to present a rare combination of intraabdominal abscess and acute appendicitis, including the abdominal wall, which is believed to be due to bacterial translocation in an 11-year-old boy with blunt trauma due to a bicycle handlebar.
