Abstract
Peritoneal gallstone spillage occurs frequently during laparoscopic cholecystectomy when the gallbladder is accidentally opened. Many authors have reported peritoneal abscess formation as a complication of this surgical situation. We describe a case of late peritoneal abscess formation, developing 4 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and the surgical management thereof.
