Gastric outlet obstruction by a lost gallstone: Case report and literature review
2017, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :There have been a number of animal-based studies to investigate the consequences of spilled gallstones within the abdominal cavity. Johnson et al. studied rats with implanted gallstones and found that bile in combination with gallstones in the peritoneal cavity is associated with an increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesion formation and abscess formation [10]. Tzardis et al. performed a similar experiment in rabbits and found that the prevalence of septic complications was higher with retained intra-abdominal gallstones [11].

Lost gallstones in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: all possible complications
2007, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In 1991, following studies using a rabbit model and a postal questionnaire of patients in whom gallstones were lost, Welch et al [11] concluded that there was no indication for a laparotomy to retrieve “escaped” gallstones. In an experimental study, Johnston et al [12] showed that bile, in combination with gallstones in the peritoneal cavity, was associated with an increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesion formation and possible abscess formation. Hornof et al [13] concluded from studies with implanted human gallstones in the peritoneal cavity of rats that cholesterol stones only caused abscess formations in association with gram-negative bowel germs.
