title: Dysmenorrhea related to gallstone spilling after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: A 28-year-old woman is presented with severe dysmenorrhea since a previous laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. Spilled gallstones were embedded in the Douglas cavity and the visceral peritoneum of the genitalia interna. Dysmenorrhea was treated successfully by laparotomic hysterectomy and removal of all gallstones.
