“…Spillage of gallstones into the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic cholecystectomy occurs frequently due to gallbladder perforation and may be associated with complications, but conversion is not required in most of the cases, efforts should be made to remove spilled gallstones, reflected in different research study [16][17][18] . Prevalence is estimated between 10% and 30%.…”

“…If the gallbladder is perforated during removal using a conventional laparoscopic tool, stones may spill into the abdomen and must be retrieved. Abscesses form in about 0.3% of patients (14); experience indicates that the abscesses often develop in the abdominal wall, subhepatic space, or retroperitoneal region under the subhepatic space (15).…”

Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a widely performed technique worldwide. The use of laparoscopic threaded holders for this is routine but takes a lot of time and may tear the gallbladder. There are no wide-mouthed and short endoscopic instruments that can be used for removing the gallbladder without perforation. We look at gallbladder removal methods that are quick and do not involve damage at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 30 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients divided into two equal groups, one employing conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) and the other using a sponge holding forceps (SHF) (n=15, both groups) to demonstrate the effectiveness of our management. In the CLC group, the number of male patients was two (13.3 %) and female patients 13 (86.7%); in the SHF group, number of male patients was six (40%) and female patients nine (60%). When we compared the results statistically for bladder removal time, total operation time, gallbladder perforation, and wound infection, the p values were found to be 0.016, 0.182, 0.169, and 1, respectively. Results: Thirty patients were analyzed. The SHF group showed significantly better results than the CLC group for gallbladder removal time and better although not significantly better results for perforation of bladder, while there was no difference between the groups for wound infection. Conclusion: Removing the gallbladder with an SHF significantly shortens the duration of removal and also reduces perforations as compared to CLC.

“…The risk factors of appearance of these complications described in the literature are: the presence of acute cholecystitis (infected bile), the nature of the calculi (pigment stones), size (greater than 1.5 cm) and number. 8,9 To prevent these complications, some recommendations should be followed in case of perforation and intra peritoneal calculus spillage: a complete peritoneal wash with saline, removal of the maximum amount of dumped stones using a good aspiration. 8,9 Funding: No funding sources Conflict of interest: None declared Ethical approval: Not required…”

The breaking of the gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy east of a common event, and usually harmless, even if stone are missed. Exceptionally these calculations are causing persistent suppuration and may pose therapeutic problems. We report the case of a woman who presented a chronic suppurative the right lumbar pit months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This illustrates the observations difficult diagnosis of this rare complication and providing imaging. as in our case, surgical removal of the calculi is the only way to ensure healing.
