description Dropped gallstones, in addition to inadvertent damage to the biliary tree, is a complication seen in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) far more frequently than the open procedure.

We present the case of a lady whose dropped gallstone resulted in a peritoneo-cutaneous fistula, over 20 years on from her LC.
