ROMERO, Sebastián Alejandro Pástor et al. Cholelithiasis in gallbladder remnant: case report. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.14, pp.610-618.  Epub 30-Ago-2022. ISSN 2664-3243.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistavive.v5i14.173.

Gallstones are among the most frequent reasons for consultation worldwide, the emerging surgical entity is cholecystitis in 90-95% of cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the ideal treatment option, the persistence of postoperative symptoms, even in the passing of the years it is frequent, in this context, it is necessary to mention the post-cholecystectomy syndrome that is little reported in the locality. We present the case of a 71-year-old male patient with a history of open cholecystectomy 13 years ago, who consulted for abdominal bloating, dyspepsia, and mild pain in the right hypochondrium. In the complementary imaging tests, by abdominal ultrasound, cholelithiasis is evidenced in the remaining gallbladder stump, a diagnosis certified by magnetic resonance, previously indicated by the physician to control his comorbidities, in which the incidental finding of gallbladder lithiasis occurs. Surgical management is performed, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, without any complications. The patient showed adequate postoperative evolution, being discharged with analgesia and antibiotic therapy.
