Abstract

Removal of intraabdominal dropped gallstones remains a challenging problem for both surgeon and radiologist. We describe in this report a novel, minimally invasive technique to successfully remove a dropped gallstone, causing recurrent intra-abdominal infection, from a patient who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
