title: Hepatocolonic fistula: a rare consequence of retained gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: Spillage of gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy occurs in up to 30% of cases but complications due to stone retention are less frequent. We report the first case of a hepatocolonic fistula as a consequence of a retained gallstone.
