Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate cases of gallbladder injury, a rare and potentially serious complication, in the setting of percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We report two cases of gallbladder injury after percutaneous nephrolithotomy and review the literature on this rare complication.
RESULTS: Both cases of gallbladder injury at our institution along with the four other case reports in the literature all necessitated cholecystectomy. Medial right-sided collecting system access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy may increase the risk for biliary injury.
CONCLUSIONS: Both recognized and unrecognized gallbladder injury may lead to biliary peritonitis necessitating subsequent cholecystectomy.
