BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Numerous clinical trials have deemed it a safe procedure, regardless of the known increased risk of bile duct injury. However, the consequences and incidence of less well-known complications are still being addressed.
METHODS: Between 1993 and 1995, 1,130 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed at two major metropolitan medical centers. Of these patients, we know of 3 (0.3%) who subsequently developed abscesses as a consequence of dropped stones during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. One additional patient who underwent prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy at another institution developed late infection as well.
RESULTS: All 4 patients developed late purulent abscesses that ultimately required open surgical drainage, and 1 patient developed trocar site "tumor" masses that were secondary to inflammatory tissue around gallstone fragments. All patients were successfully treated by surgical drainage, stone removal, and antibiotics. Trocar site inflammatory masses required excision only. Significant costs were involved in the diagnosis, management, and duration of therapy for these problems.
CONCLUSIONS: This experience closely resembles that of other centers and points out the existence of a late postoperative complication following laparoscopic cholecystectomy that was rarely encountered with open cholecystectomy. Strategies for avoiding this problem are discussed. Whether dropped stones are an indication for conversion to open cholecystectomy remains unclear. Thorough irrigation at time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with or without placement of a drain in the subhepatic space does not prevent this complication.
