description Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a routinely performed surgery nowadays. However, it is associated with certain complications. Gall bladder perforation during the procedure can result in spilled and lost gallstones. Lost gallstones most commonly cause intra-abdominal infection. However, very rarely, they can be associated with troublesome retroperitoneal abscess formation. We present a case where a lost gallstone caused a retroperitoneal abscess formation and was retrieved from a back abscess in the right paraspinal region.
