  • Title: Trocar-site metastasis following laparoscopic cholecystectomy for unsuspected carcinoma of the gallbladder. Case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Copher JC, Rogers JJ, Dalton ML.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1995 Mar; 9(3):348-50. PubMed ID: 7597613.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen cases of trocar-size metastasis from unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma following laparoscopic cholecystectomy have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman who developed this complication 21/2 months postoperatively. We feel that carcinoma of the gallbladder is a contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. When unsuspected lesions are discovered, intraoperative frozen-section lesions will facilitate the surgical management.
