Spontaneous extrusion of gallstones after percutaneous drainageTools Hariharan, D. and Lobo, Dileep N. (2017) Spontaneous extrusion of gallstones after percutaneous drainage. Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 99 (3). e1-e2. ISSN 1478-7083 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThere have been reports of late discharge of gallstones through operative wounds after spillage into the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and after the development of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulae. However, spontaneous discharge of gallstones from the tract of a percutaneous cholecystostomy or percutaneous drainage of a perforated gall bladder has not, to the best of our knowledge, been reported previously. We report a case in which a patient who had a percutaneous drain inserted for a perforated gall bladder discharged 34 gallstones from the tract after removal of the 7-F pigtail catheter.
