An unsuspected cause of abdominal pain and fever: lost gallstone-related perisplenic abscess

Abstract

Although late complications caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy are uncommon, a number of different and potentially severe conditions can develop years after the procedure. Herein we report the case of a woman who presented with fever and abdominal pain eleven years following surgery. Possible sequelae due intraoperative complication at the time of surgery should be always taken into consideration when evaluating patients with history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
