Her past surgical history was significant for a cholecystectomy in 2010, hysterectomy, and partial nephrectomy. She was diagnosed with an intraabdominal abscess secondary to a retained gallstone post-cholecystectomy. She underwent laparoscopic surgery to drain and remove the abscess. The patient's abdominal pain improved, remains afebrile, and is passing stool regularly.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gallbladder perforation is common and is dependent on the integrity of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. It is unusual for an intra-abdominal abscess to develop so late following gallstone spillage. This example brings to light the potential long-term sequelae of gallbladder perforation and future complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the importance of irrigation of the peritoneal cavity and retrieval any spilled gallstones during surgery in the event of gallbladder perforation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.11.126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,30]],"date-time":"2020-11-30T12:17:46Z","timestamp":1606738666000},"page":"903-905","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Erina","family":"Quinn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Capanegro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Hartigan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-204-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.5009\/gnl.2012.6.2.172","article-title":"Epidemiology of gallbladder disease: cholelithiasis and cancer","volume":"6","author":"Stinton","year":"2012","journal-title":"Gut Liver"},{"key":"R2-204-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2128","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2006.00723.x","article-title":"The burden of gastrointestinal and liver diseases, 2006","volume":"101","author":"Shaheen","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am.
