Özet

We describe a patient who had an incomplete open cholecystectomy 32 years previously and was hospitalized with jaundice due to a stone in the gallbladder remnant encroaching on the common bile duct. Despite extensive adhesions the gallbladder remnant was removed with laparoscopic techniques and the patient had an uneventful recovery. We conclude that previous surgery, even on the gallbladder, does not preclude the successful completion of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. © 1995 Lippincott-Raven Publishers, philadelphia.
