[Intra-abdominal foreign body granuloma--a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Intra-abdominally retained gallstones following laparoscopic cholecystectomy only rarely cause related morbidity. A patient is reported, in whom aseptic foreign body reaction lead to formation of a big intra-abdominal granuloma. Because of troubling symptoms laparotomy and exstirpation were required one year postoperatively.
