Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in the world today Acute calculus cholecystitis is the most frequent complication of cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the best treatment for acute calculus cholecystitis when performed within 72 hours. Acute cholecystitis tends to be one of the highest risks for conversion to open surgery-due to unclear anatomy, excessive bleeding or technical complications. Here we present 2 cases with severe acute cholecystitis that required placement of laparoscopic cholecystostomy (LC) tube. Patient subsequently underwent interval cholecystectomy, when the inflammation had subsided. LC tube placement can be a safe alternative in such situations to avoid complications and conversion to open procedure.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be a challenging procedure in gallbladders with chronic disease. We describe a patient with chronic cholecystitis and difficult visualisation of the gallbladder at surgery who underwent laparoscopic hepatotomy along the drainage tube of the cholecystostomy. In this way, the gallbladder was identified to avoid non-visualisation of ductal anatomy. This exceptional solution should be added to the surgical options if anatomical recognition is difficult and complete removal of the gallbladder is too risky.

The fate of gallstones spilled during laparoscopic cholecystostomy has been thought to be relatively benign. Recent experience and a review of the recent literature shows that this is not always the case. We report three cases of complications of retained stones and analyse the literature with regard to types of complications, time to presentation, and recommendations for managing spilled gallstones. Retained gallstones have been shown to cause adhesions in the rat and inflammatory reactions in dogs with no evidence of absorption. The average time to presentation of complications arising from retained gallstones is 27.3 weeks. Complications include: Intraabdominal abscess formation with or without abdominal wall sinus tract formation, persisting abdominal wall sinus tracts from port site abscess, subhepatic inflammatory masses, cholelithoptysis, microabscesses and granuloma formation, liver abscess and “dumbell” shaped abscess with one side of the “dumbell” forming a subcutaneous abscess. We recommend the judicious use of retrieval devices during the extraction phase of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, diligent removal of any spilled stones and awareness of delayed postoperative pain and tenderness as a harbinger of symptomatic retained gallstones. Documentation of intraoperative gallstone spillage, volume, type of gallstones, and effort to retrieve is recommended.
