Dorsal inflammatory mass secondary to lost stones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

ABSTRACT

The most frequent intraabdominal complication after lost stones are abscesses, which account for 65% of complications. The main risk factors are old age, male gender, surgical difficulty, leakage of lithiasis of more than 1.5 cm or more than 15 stones, perihepatic location and pigmented gallstones. We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney failure and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
