[Ileal intussusception, caused by fibroma, after cholecystectomy performed under microlaparotomy].

The development of minimally invasive surgery for the management of cholelithiasis has been based on the premise that abdominal exploration during cholecystectomy is unnecessary. In the current study, 575 patients undergoing micro- and modern mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy were evaluated to assess the incidence and significance of undetected intra-abdominal pathology. In one instance an intussusception occurred from an ileal fibroma. This patient required a reoperation on the 20th postoperative day, after the removal of the porcellaneous gallbladder. After the primary resection of the tumor and affected bowel area, the patient recovered completely. During 575 cholecystectomy, performed with the micro- and modern minilaparotomy method, only in one patient (0.17%) was significant pathology not detected.
