Penetrating gallbladder injuries are uncommon in the pediatric population. The treatment varies according to the severity of the injury and the patient's hemodynamics. We present the case of an 11-year-old male with an accidental pellet gunshot wound to the right upper abdomen that resulted in a grade III liver laceration and damage to the anterior gallbladder wall. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with drain placement. Postoperative radiography of the surgical specimen confirmed the presence of the pellet in the gallbladder. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged home on postoperative day 3. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a feasible treatment option for penetrating gallbladder injuries in hemodynamically stable patients.
穿透性胆囊损伤在儿科人群中并不常见。治疗方法根据损伤的严重程度和患者的血流动力学情况而有所不同。我们报告一例11岁男性患者,右上腹意外遭受弹丸枪伤,导致III级肝裂伤和胆囊前壁损伤。该患者接受了腹腔镜胆囊切除术并放置了引流管。手术标本的术后X线检查证实胆囊内有弹丸。患者恢复顺利,术后第3天出院。对于血流动力学稳定的穿透性胆囊损伤患者,腹腔镜胆囊切除术是一种可行的治疗选择。
