ABSTRACT

Gall bladder perforation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy with spillage of bile and gall stones is relatively common. Herein, we present a very rare case of incidentally found gall stone in an umbilical port-site hernia sac. A 45 years old emirates lady was admitted to Ghayathi general hospital for repair of port site hernia in the umbilical region 2.5 years after laproscopic cholecystectomy. lntraoperatively, the hernia sac was found to contain a freely mobile faceted stone of about 1 x 1.5 x 1 cm in size over the surface of the contained omentum. Stone was retrieved and the hernia was tackled. Literature was reviewed along with med-line search over the past 15 years where we could find 4 cases only reported
