[About the discovery of a hepatic subcapsular collection as early complication of transperitoneal laparoscopy. Review of the clinical implications based on the hepatic capsular and retroperitoneal anatomy, its subdivisions and communications]. / Collection sous-capsulaire hépatique survenue dans le décours précoce d'une laparoscopie transpéritonéale: revue de l'anatomie du rétropéritoine et de ses implications cliniques.

We report a case of hepatic subcapsular collection as early complication of transperitoneal laparoscopy. The etiology seems to be a detachment of the hepatic capsule induced by laparoscopic gas. We discuss the anatomic data about the liver capsule, renal fascia and retroperitoneal subdivisions supporting such a mechanism.
