Abstract
Spillage of gallstones is common during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and may lead to intra-abdominal abscesses and sinus formation. We describe two patients with recurrent abscess at the site of epigastric port due to presence of large spilled stone in the parietes following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Removal of the stone led to resolution of symptoms.
