title: Pancreatic injury: an unusual complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a popular method for managing symptomatic gallstone disease. Decreased morbidity and mortality rates make this procedure an attractive alternative to conventional cholecystectomy. However, unusual complications still occur. We report a case of pancreatic injury that occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The case was complicated with posttraumatic pancreatic inflammation and bowel necrosis.
