Abstract: Iatrogenic perforation of the gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a known occurrence resulting in dropped stones in the peritoneal cavity. Complications like infection, inflammation, fibrosis, adhesion, cutaneous sinus formation, and abscesses; though uncommon, can be dangerous. Surgeons and radiologists should be aware of these complications and their related morbidity. The author describes a delayed complication of gallstone presenting as a subhepatic abscess seven year post laproscopic cholecystectomy.
Keywords: dropped gallstone, cholecystectomy complications, gallstone abscess, subhepatic abscess.
