  • Title: [Extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis following laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
    Author: Rusznak M, Kuttner R, Greim CA.
    Journal: Chirurg; 2003 Mar; 74(3):244-7. PubMed ID: 12647082.
    Abstract:
    Postoperative portal vein thrombosis is a rare complication, which occurs most often after hepatic surgery, but has not yet been described in combination with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present a case where thrombotic occlusion of the portal vein was diagnosed on the 6th day following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Treatment with high-dose anticoagulant and antibiotic therapy was successful and without further complications.
