Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard of care for the surgical management of symptomatic gallstone disease. Gallstone spillage at laparoscopic cholecystectomy is common, with a reported incidence of 0.2-20%. In the majority of cases there are no complications associated with this spillage, but a series of studies report patients with complications of free peritoneal gallstones. We present a case of migration of gallstone to the lung resulting in an inflammatory mass in the right middle lobe as a complication of spillage at laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
腹腔镜胆囊切除术是治疗有症状的胆囊结石病的标准手术方法。腹腔镜胆囊切除术中胆囊结石溢出很常见,报道的发生率为 0.2-20%。在大多数情况下,这种溢出没有并发症,但一系列研究报告了游离腹膜胆囊结石引起并发症的患者。我们报告了一例因腹腔镜胆囊切除术中溢出导致胆囊结石迁移至肺部,引起右中叶炎性肿块的病例。
