However, spilled gallstones occur in up to 18% of laparoscopic cholecystectomies, which may result in retained gallstones. Though most do not cause issues, there may be abscess formation from 4\u00a0months to 10\u00a0years postoperatively. We present a 78-year-old patient who formed a subhepatic abscess 3\u00a0months postoperatively from his laparoscopic cholecystectomy secondary to a 1\u00a0cm retained gallstone. The abscess was percutaneously drained by interventional radiology (IR), and the stone was subsequently removed by IR using a percutaneous approach. Open and laparoscopic approaches have been previously described for abscess drainage and removal of gallstones. In this case, both the abscess and stone were drained and removed percutaneously by IR. Though this is an uncommon entity, percutaneous decompression can aid in preventing such patients from undergoing additional surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348221084944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]],"date-time":"2022-03-25T15:51:40Z","timestamp":1648223500000},"page":"2918-2919","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Percutaneous Retrieval of Retained Gallstones"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Saudia","family":"McCarley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernice","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Robert","family":"Guay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Radiology, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Ong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma, Acute Care Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Sacks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Radiology, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher A.","family":"Butts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma, Acute Care Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital-Tower Health, West Reading, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00031348221084944","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Hassler KR"},{"key":"bibr2-00031348221084944","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2012.07.017"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr3-00031348221084944","first-page":"145","volume":"1","author":"Brueggemeyer MT","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Soc Laparoendosc Surg"},{"key":"bibr4-00031348221084944","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4293\/108680812X13517013317518"}],"container-title":["The American Surgeon\u2122"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348221084944","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/00031348221084944","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348221084944","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:36:27Z","timestamp":1777379787000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00031348221084944"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/00031348221084944"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00031348221084944","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1348","1555-9823"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1348","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-9823","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]]}}}
